DECEMBER IT. 1W» _ tips the morning after the party Fireplace or no fireplace, fill stockings with family favorites If you're having a party, here are some tips for this morning af­ ter. It's not inevitable, but there's always the possibility that someone will spill some­ thing on your carpet, and you won t see the tell-tale spots until themorning after. These tell­ tale signs won't linger if you take care of them imritediately. The best time to take care of my accident is as soon as it hap­ pens. If you can do this, club soda and a little detergent will often do the job" Discoloration from some spills can be permanent if they're given time to set. This is one reason why many people avoid serving red wine and mus­ tard at a stand-up party where accidents are more likely to lost stains will respond to a few simple cleaning solutions. Stains caused by coffee, tea, wine and alcoholic beverages can be effectively treated with detergent whipped into a foam. If that is too mud, try a solution of one part white vinegar to two parts warm water. Stains caused by food con­ taining oil, butter or milk will also respond to detergent mixed with a small amount of am-, monia. Should you need some­ thing stronger, a suitable dry cleaning fluid will help to dis­ solve the grease. Do not use lighter fluid. Always try any cleaning solu­ tion, no matter how mild, on a hidden part of your carpet first, just to make sure the fibers won't fade or discolor. Do not use ammonia if the carpet is wool. If food has been spilled, take up as much of it as you can with a dull knife. If liquid was spilled, blot as much of it as you can with a sponge. When applying any cleaning agent, use a sponge and work from the outer rim to the middle of the spot. This will help to keep that spot from getting larger. When in doubt, use less so that the carpet backing doesn't get wet. Blot frequently. Whether or not you have a fireplace on which to hang them, one traditional Christmas treat that is a pleasure for all, is a row of Christmas stockings brimming with goodies. However, for the Mr. or Mrs. Santa that sets about filling all those stockings, it may be more of a chore than a pleasure, as novel ideas for stocking stuffers are rapidly exhausted. This year, why not try themed Christmas stockings? For the family gourmet, stuff a stocking with delectable edi­ bles. from fine Swiss or Dutch chocolates through some hunks of favorite cheese through a small jar of imported caviar, and some packets of unusual tea. Top it all off, of course, with some chocolate balls wrapp^l in bright foil and a few candy canes. If Mom is a sybarite, she might enjoy a stocking filled with pleasant scents. Slip in a bottle of her favorite cologne, a ' bar of soap to match, perhaps ' body-lotion in a new scent you think she'll like. To sweeten her dresser drawers, a few flower sachets might be in order and. to hang in her closet, a pomander ball. A little boy who collects miniature autos, planes, etc., would certainly be thrilled to re­ ceive a stocking stuffed with ad­ ditions to his collection. A little girl whose pride and joy is her dollhouse would be tickled to find furniture and ac­ cessories for her miniature home in her stocking. If Dud is a pipe smoker, stuff a stocking with several varieties of tobacco, his favorite plus some exotic types for him to try and, of course, a pack or two of pipecleaners. Once you've begun, the pos­ sibilities are endless for1 one of the merriest Christmases your family ill ever celebrate. If at first you don't succeed If the spot doesn't come up with the first application, con­ tinue to blot and reapply your cleaning agent; letting it sit for about 30 minutes. Once your carpet is cjean and blotted, place a stack of adozen paper towels over the spot and weight it. You'll be surprised at how much moisture is still in the carpet. COLD SRLE FOR CHRISTMAS!
