KEEPING A LACE COLLAR CLEAN
THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES
Uy JEAN NEWTON
Sparing the Mothers
"Jane is the most orderly girl I have I me half a day to straighten up after she
ever known. It's surprising how she
keeps everything in the little space we
could spare for her her clothes and
her books nnd her toilet articles, poor
child. And she never leaves a thing
about the house.
"I'm glad she has been able to man
age so nicely because, as I had to make
plain to her in the beginning. I could
not have kept her otherwise. We were
crowded before she cnine.
This from a distant relative with
whom Jane wns living since her mother
died, helping out about the house in
order to complete her education. She
went on to say how entirely unassum
ing was Jane, how they never knew she
was around and yet how thoroughly re
ponsible with the work she had to do
about the nousc.
Jane orderly and responsible! I ,
thought of the old Jane I had known
when her loving mother wns still ward-
ing off the world's cold blasts. She
was the most careless and utterly ir- I

goes to school.
"And tin- mending! Jane's harder
on things than any boy. It seems I
can never get 1 lenr of the things that
have to be done Yes, one girl is a lot
of work, a lot of work."
It hail never occurred to her mother
that Jane could ever get on without
her, and nothing wns further from
Jane's thoughts than the idea of doing
any of these tilings for herself. To
do her justice, she did not really intend
to impose upon her foolish mother. She
just sailed along on a w hipped-cream
wave nnd never thought about it.
Now Jane was orderly and respon
sible! It had been made plain that
this, the only home open to her, could
not be taken for grunted, but would
depend upon her own behavior. So she
just naturally did the things she had
to do to stay there.
And it occurred to me that if Jane
had been as careful and .. useful at
home with her mother ns she found she
could be with these strungers, perhaps
the lightened load would have added u
few years to the tired life.

"Jim," It seems strange thnt I have
never met you. Your thoughts are ab
solutely the same as mine Our llttiv
friend, "Wondering," Is rather harsh
when she puts a linn on dunclng. She
has slightly forgotten thnt everything
can be done In two ways, the right and
wrong day. Dancing the right way Is
perfectly proper. Of course, tho fel
lows who have their hair plastered and
cemented down well, they aro differ
ent. Hut what do you say. "Jim,"
wouldn't little "Wondering" be ur

there are at the dancing places? Why,

Uvu could get a different partner beside
her steady Adam, and will continue until
another Hood comes along, and then It
will start up again You must remem
ber thnt there are soma people in this

they try to do. Kor myself, I dance .1

Approves of Dancing
Dear Cynthia Will you kindly allow
mo a little space In your vnluablo
column to help "Jim" In answering
vvonaermg ' '
I do wc.ir u straight-Jacket suit, but
however, 1 do not vaseline my hair
down. And I also can bonst that I
dance, although there Is a saying that
self-praise Is cheap. However I must
say that I dance, and fairly well, and
am proud of It
Although I do go to dances nlsiut
once or twice a week I can also boast
or being nn athlete and take more part
In baseball, biusketb.ilt and all sorts
of athletics than I do In dancing. How
ever. I am ready at any time to match
my wits with those who do not dance In
tlther athletics or manhood. I hopo
that this will help to cool down "Won

Fears Gossip Will Hurt Love
Dear Cynthia Will you please admit
me with my problem to your column?
1 am a young girl of eighteen and
have been going steadily with one fel
low for the Inst three and a. half years,
and. Cynthia, we love each other very
dearly and It seems to grow stronger
with every visit
Tins young man Is very handsome
and the kind that makes every one love
him and I am Just a plain girl. All my
friends tell me how lucky I am, and
they also hint that he will never marry
me. and some go so far as to ak him
what he sees In me and remark that
"lovo Is blind "
It does not affect him now, Cynthia,
and be loves me ns much as ever, but
do you think that In time all these little
gossips will make him change toward
me?
How can I keep his love, Cynthia?
How can I make myself worthy of him?
DISCOUUAGHD.
Glrla and boys who say such things
to you and to the young mnn aro not
your friends Do not pay any nttcntlon
to them Because this young man hap
pens to be better-looking than jou nrc
is no reason why you aro not worthy
of his affections. Do not get the idea
that you aro Inferior to him. anil above
all things do not let him think you feel
that wny. Dk your own natural self
and you will see that the qualities that

well as any strained efforts on your part
to do so
Anent the Dance Habit
Dear Cynthia I have been a con
stant reader of your column ever since
the birth of the Evenino PunLio
l.nooEn and I nm deeply interested In
many of jour queries and recently I saw
where some poor girl could not find a
fellow who did not dance Let me say
to dear little "Wondering," don't worry,
for every girl who dances there lire two
fellows true, but "Wondering." count
iver your girl friends who can't dance
and add two fellows to j'our list and see
how nuuiv fellows j-ou chave to choose
from Only don't choose a fellow just
because he can't dance, for if j'ou happen
to land him, then ho may turn the tables
and start in to dance. Now. for ox-
ample I happen to be acquainted with
a oung oouple; the girl was dance
crav .mil he. oh my. how absurd for him
to go out and mingle with such Jazz
bablHs as frequented tho dance floors,
vet no took his girl to dances but he
would not nnd could not dance After a
tinglhv engagement thej' went to a min
ister and he showed them how two could
llvo cheaper than one. And so they
were married, hut like all love stories,
theirs did not end "and they lived bain
plly ever after," for getting married
was only getting acquainted with
strange people. The wlfo "gave up"
dancing for him, while he "took up"
what she "gave up" (dancing) and to
day the young mother, for she is 11
mother now, sits alone nursing that
which her young heart desired whllu
he well he is of rny ?ex, so I will not
londemn but I could choke him Instead
But, "Wondering," why not try church
like I have" I have passed through
an iMH-rltnco with one girl .She was
a maniac on the exercise of foot move
mints dancing. Just because I could not
dance, she ran around with some one
who could and our engagement went
'bloolc " I then turned to church and
being a Christian, I now can say that It
's tho best in tho long run all the time
If more young girls would turn back
the pagis of their lives and uunu back
to church then tho young fellows would
bt more sociable and real.

This problem Is .sohcel below lit scleral different ways. Sometimes
jou cut out the good parts, sometimes you dry-clean and sometimes
you wash the lace
The question of how to keep old lace then shaking the powder out, nnd, if
is one that most women will be inter
estcd to know a little nbout. It is no
uncommon thing to find lace that has
been laid nwny disfigured by brown
stains : 8omctiincs these rot the lace, nnd
then the only wny to use it is to cut
the pattern out from the faded ground
nnd applique on a fresh foundation.
When putting uwny old lncc or em
broidered handkerchiefs never fold
them in tint, regular folds. Put sonic
blue or black tissue paper under them
nnd throw quite cnrclessly in a box,
using n good deal of paper.
Lace that is only slightly soiled some
times mny be cleaned by rubbing
lightly into it a mixture of equal quan
tities of fine salt nnd flour, letting the
lace stand over night, or even longer,
necessary, brushing with a sott, clean
brush, Dry magnesia or n paste made
of fullers' earth nnd water will serve
the purpose, used in the same way.
If lncc requires cleaning it should, in
the first place, have every inch of It
inrcfully examined nnd all necessary
repairs made. Then for the wushlng
make u lather by shredding some good
white soap into boiling wnter, nnd
when this is somcwhnt cooled dip the
lueo in, moving it up nnd down, press
ing with the hands and half squeezing it
until all the dirt Is removed. He care
ful to avoid any scmblnncu of rubbing,
wringing, or even actual squeezing, for
the delluite threads of the Inco snap
unexpectedly. Hltise carefully In sev
eral tepid waters.
