Perhaps this is because their work. in primarily for the mother and . the child and whether we analyze it" \ OF not , we know in our hearts that . Service to the mother and 'the child 18 service not only to the state but to the human race. So on Friday when the Kingston Victorian Order committee held a tea and sale to buy nhecessities for the enlargement of their work, the Y.M.C.A. where the committee and nurses always. find Warm support, was a bright and cheerful place in which to get a cup of tea. Mrs. F. C. Reid, the president, and Mrs. W. H. Gimblett, the vice-president, received the visi- tors who filled the reception room. Mrs. 8. Crawford and Mrs. Easson . took the entrance fee, and about the | room were tables laden with good things In charge of the members of sop very festive, under the gleaming yel- low candles and centered with vases of bright red tulips, yellow daffo- dilg and pussywillow, Pretty favors of bright yellow baskets, filled with colored bon bons, stood at each place. » . . The many friends of Mr. John McKay, "Argyle House," will be glad to hear that he is making improve- ment---slow though {it is--in the Johns Hopkins hospital at Baltimore, following a serious operation.

Blue and -white boxes of candy were , at a-table in the corner presided over by Mrs. T. H. King and Mrs. Leis- ham, with some assistants. An in- teresting cormer to which all the women paid a visit was the table with the children's clothes made by the spewing class at the Welfare station. The sewing was neatly done and it was realized that a valuable lesson is learned by these little girls who can"make baby clothes and neat garments for themselves. Miss Jack, Miss Neish and Miss Davis were in charge. The tea table, was unwsual- ly dainty with" filet lace on a polish- ed surface, yellow tulips and tall blue dles. Here Mrs. 8. F. Camp- bell and Mrs. T. A. Davidson made tea, assisted by some of .he Girl 'Guides, who thus did the one good turn yesterday. Mrs. T. A.

The Baudeau Moved Higher, * A London note says: "Women's headdresses in Mayfair have chang- ed théir angle. A few months ago hey were worn straight across the te a few inches above the eyes but even Princess Mary has forsaken that style. Fashionable women now wear them in a semi-circle geross the top of the head, after the "classical goddess" fashion. There is a good reason for the change, the London hair dressers say. Fatigue and headache were frequent- ly produced by the headdress forne erly in favor, as it hadstq be tightly bound about the temples 'to keep it in place. The new semi-circle affords scope for decoration which has not been lost by the West End . merchants. There are now on display many styles in silver, gold and green leaves with colored flowers entwined. A plain gilt filet is a favorite; so also is one having points. The new headdress is most popular among the bobbed-haired who wish to add dignity to their shorn locks." At Belleville General Hospital parting gifts were made to Miss Mil- dred Cullen, in charge of the, operat- ing room for the last three and a half years and who is leaving for a rest. Over doubling the number of deaths in Brockville during April, the stork is credited with twenty- eight visits, while 12 residents were summoned by death. During the same period ten marriages were sol- emnized. The Napanee Historical Society closed a good season's work with a big amount of added knowledge and a cash batance of $38.05 to begin work next fall. 1 Have Found a Way to Whiten Yellow Teeth-- Instantly j HERE IT IS-- ------ \ "I never thought ft Was possible to have perfectly White teeth.

Indeed, unless it i8 on white goods, it is often impossible to remove it satisfactorily for the rea- | son that acids which would take out perspiration marks would also take out color. The perspiration of the underarms is alkaline, while that of other parts of the body--as the hands, arms, pthroat and shoulders--ig acid. There- fore erent treatment ig needed for these two kinds of perspiration stain. Underarm Stains on White Goods: Dip the stained portion 'of the gar- ment into a wea solution of muria- tic acid (poison), n dip it in clear hot water, followed "by rinsing in water containing a little ammonia, Repeat this treatment several times if necessary, rather than leave the fabric in the acid bath till the stain is entirely bleached. Underarm Stains on Colored Goods: The above method is the one most likely to take out the stain, but there is danger that it may also take out the color. Often when: this happens, the-original color can be restored by sponging 'with chloroform. It fs safest, Bowerer, So experiment on a sample of the-dress material before going ahead on the dress ftself. Acid iration Stains: As ex- plain above, this term covers all perspiration stains except those from the underarm. They' are removed by alkaline applications, as follows: wet with suds of borax soap and place the garment in the sun. Or sponge with strong borax water. This method is harmless to white goods, but it is best to experiment on a small sample of colored goods before attempting it on garment ofysimilar colored fabric. White Goods Yellowed by Perspira- tion Stains! White cotton or linen goods stained by either the alkaline or the acid stains may be bleached successfully by the use of Javelle water (buy it at a drugstore and Dissolve one tgaspoon of permanganate cry- | stals (a pofson) in one point of wa- [ter. Wring the fabric out of clear | water; then immerse it in this acid j2eietion. In taking out the stain a purplish-brown color is left on the fabric, {Ping the material into plain dilute oxalic acid and, when the brown color is gone, rinsing in clear water which contains a tablespoon of ammonia to the quart: N W-------- All inquiries addressed to Miss Kirkman in care of the "Efficient Housekeeping' department wil] be answered in these columns in thair turn.

One |wonders just where Miss Me- Phail or any other Canadian woman would he if the men of Canada had failed to ghow that much sbused military spirit in 1914 and during the dread five years which followed.
