' M.F.D.: "Can you tell me how to remove the whitish stain from a erock caused by putting down eg in water-glass?" Answer: Many housewives have asked me this question and I have consulted several chemists about it, only to find that nobody knows how to remove it, So the best thing you can do is continue to use the same crock for putting down eggs in waterglass. The old waterglase marks do no harm when you use the erook for the same purpose. Mrs. G. F.: "How can I clean a marble shelf?" Answer: You should have told me whether the polished surface of High class Pictures and Frames now at Bargain Prices. Photo Studio Now Open. S. M. Gartland One Door Above Harrison's 237 PRINCESS STREET ses its original smoothness. It its polish is unimpaired just soap and water is the best thing for it, wip- ing it dry at once. To polish it, rub with another smooth piece of marble and water. If, however, the finfsh is dulled and rough, smooth the surfacé with a damp cloth dip- ped in powdered pumice, then pol- ish with whiting. Acids of auy kind will take off all the polish, so if the qurface is perfect do not use these on it in any way. But if your shelf is old and badly discolored, try the following excellent cleansing me- thod: Make a solution of one part oxalic acid (POISON) and ten parts alcohol (or have your druggist make it for you), and apply this with a brush or swab; as soon as the stain on the marble disappears, -- FOR EVERY GOOD LITTLE GIRL AND BOX, THE GIFT THAT PLEASES EVERYONE | Th is i loss Moth, om de in 0d THE FAMOUS : rich and wholesome--The old-time candy BE arid over : 'the top of a lady's dresser and your shelf is roughened, or posses- . with a cloth wrung out of cold water, then wet with ammo- nia. The alkali in the ammonia néutralizes the acid and stops its action. Do net permit the acid to remain on the marble longer than 30 minutes at the longest, as it will destroy the finish. Grease may be removed from marble with a paste of turpentine and whiting; cover the grease stain and let stand for some time, then wash off with soap and warm water, For general ¢lean- ing when badlysoiled, use kerosene, Salt and vinegar also cleans mar- ble, but thé vinegar is aeld and should no t on more than a few mifiutes. G. R.: "Please make suggestions for appropriate articles to stand on a rub it man's chiffonier." Answer: Toilet articles such as brush, comb, powder puff, etcetera, are more appropriate for the dress- ing table than for bureau (indeed, many women keep even these in the bureau drawer today). I suggest a small boudoir clock, a hand mirror, easel photo frame, a collor box, small box for studs, and a clothes brush, on the man's chiffonier. For the lady's dresser: a dainty pin cu- shion, jewel box, hand mirror, but- ton hook, $hoehorn, and oval photo frame. Tomorrow -- Dainties For The Christmas Dinner.
