A guide highlights the rising status of prunes amid higher prices and broadizes their uses. It covers soaking, swelling, and cooking methods for plain stewed prunes, marmalade, prune whip, fried prunes, and prune jelly, with tips on sugar, lemon juice, and using the cooking liquid for sauces.

Modern dress plaiting relies on machinery and finishes

Household hints for leather bags and linen stains

To wash a leather traveling bag use tepid water and soap then dry. Wipe with a rag dipped in hot oxalic acid solution and dry again. Brush with egg white for a renewed bag. For eye stains on white linen soak in cold water before laundry as hot water sets stains and hardens removal.

Broad Hemmed Handkerchiefs Rise In Fashion

The era of broad hems on handkerchiefs returns with a one inch hem, hemstitched and either sheer linen or fine heavy fabric. Embroiderers favor the look and monograms in a corner add individuality. Some prefer single initials, others two or three, and a large floral spray decorates the inner corner.
