Sprint Cleaniag 
Time 
The thorough cleaning of floors and 
passages is facilitated by some capital 
and uncommon stuff known as Boston 
Cotton. This " swabs " in a way notliing else does on account 
of the peculiar nature of its weave. The name does not indicate 
it . but as a matter of fact there is a great deal of wool in Boston 
Cotton. This is worked into a knotted substance and as a 
result a cleansing grip can be got on a dirty surface, and a 
magical change be quickly wrought. 
Ordinary house flannels wear out in a very brief space of 
time. Kendal cotton lasts. Another thing worth knowing is, 
that one particular firm in f.ondon keep it and that they do so 
solely on the request of old customers. In order to supply 
these demands they liad to lodge a big order with the manu. 
facturers and in consequence are able to sell Kendal Cotton 
at a pre-war price, in spite of the great increase in the cost of 
production. It is still being sold here at a shiUing a yard, the 
widtii being 19 inches. 
Old-fashioned stuffs are often the best, and old-fashioned 
though Kendal Cloth is, it is simply unequalled in durability 
and worth. 
How to Keep 
Clean 
Furs, collars and things of that kind, 
frequently leave an unsightly mark round 
the neck, as numbers of women have 
found to their cost. The odd thing is that, in this case, 
ordinary washing is not of the shghtest use — the dye mark 
still remains, no matter how energeticaOy soap and water may 
have been applied. 
Furs in particular are great offenders m this way, but 
now there is no further cause for complaint. " Clenzene " has 
solved the difficulty in the most magical way. A little dab of 
" Clenzene" and the stain disappears, leaving the neck 
perfectly clean. There is no other cleansing preparation quite 
hke it, and only a little at a time being required a bottle 
lasts tor a very long time. 
Tbe Charm of 
Chintz 
.\ clever designer is doing delightful 
things with upholsterer's chintz — not 
the shiny kinds of chintz with an un- 
pleasantly slippery surface, but the more tractable sort. 
Out of chintz she is making all kinds of attractive garments, all 
pre-eminently suited to war-tine and war-time conditions. 
In the first pk c ^ some chintz gardening aprons may 
be quoted. They are the most practical things in the world, 
yet at the same time fascinatingly pretty. The designer has 
picked the smaller pattern chintzes for choice, and those, 
moreover, in wliicli the surface is well covered so that they 
last clean all the longer. One with a tiny bird and flower design 
isxharming, and very well it worked into an enveloping garden 
apron with its bib and l>ig double pocket across the front of 
the skirt, to hold all kinds of gardening ace. ssories. 
Chintz overall frocks are another feature this year. A 
covetable one of soft green and rose colouring was piped 
with green, and it also iiad a practical double pocket across 
the front. Into an overall frock one can get in a minute, 
the fastenings being particularly few and siTuple. For women 
taking on garden work they are just the ideal garment, and 
so also are some delightful chintz country hats and sun- 
bonnets, the last having the orthodox sun curtain at the back 
in \iew of tlie sun we are so eagerly expectting. 
A Skirt and Cape 
Combined 
Great praise is due to the inventor 
of a remarkably adroit skirt which can 
be changed into a cape whenever desired. 
It iscuton circular lines, and when worn as a skirt is just the 
usual well hung garment turned out by an expert tailor who 
thoroughly knows his business. 
Yet the same garment hangs in equally accurate lines 
when it is suspended from the shoulders and used as a cape. 
.\s a cape it is remarkably useful in slK)wery weather, for it is 
made of showerproof tweed and is a great protection in bad 
weather, esi:)ecially when driving. 
For tliose who are further curious how such a metamor- 
phosis can be brought about, it may be added that" the skirt 
does up with a row of buttons down the front.
