001B6C13 ~ Hints For iI the Home .'I I~MA rf~c&A~ Trouble-Saving I dens Spilt toa will not leave a stain if a lump of sugar has been put in the teapot. iNever leave a jam spoon in the jam, nor a fork in the pickles, or verdigris will result. Do not pour cold &cater into enamel vessels while they are still hot from cooking. This causes the enamel to crack and peel nlf. ~ To freshen a stale loaf, &vrap it in a damp cloth for a minute. Remove the cloth and put the loaf in a hot oven for half an hour. If vinegar is boiled in a kettle that has become badly furrod, the deposit will soften and break avray from the sides and bottom. Two ounces of fuller's earth boiled in half a pint of vinegar and the juice of three onions is splendid for removing scorch marks from linen. hiix a little ammonia with the beeswax and turpentine used for floor polishing. The wax will then dissolve quickly. To freshen stale vegetables, soak for an hour in cold water to which the juice of a lemon has been added. Chamois leather should be washed in warm water in which a pinch of baking soda has been dissolved. In this way the leath- er's softness, which often is lost in the process of washing, is re- tained. Starched linen should always be soaked in cold water so that the old starch is softened nnd removed in the washing; other- wise there is a tendency for it to turn vellow. W. B. A. The regular meeting of the West Vancouver Wnn)en'9 Bene- fit Association, Review No. 24, will take place on )Vcdncsday evening, December 8th, in the New Ambieside Hall, at 8 o'lock sharp. At the election of officers for the ensuing year will take place that evening, a large attendance is looked for. The card party announced to take place on that date is there- fore postponed until )Vednesday, 22nd December, and a strong committee are preparing for a record attendance for this event. There will be handsome prizes offered for the whist players and refreshments will be served. At the last meeting of this Review (November 24th). hIrs. Emma J. Kidd, the newly ap- pointed district deputy, was a distinguished visitor, and re- ceived a most fricmlly welcome from the members. She gave a short but interesting talk on matters pertaining to the work of the )V. B. A., enthusing her hearers especially on the sub- ject of increasing the member- ship, and encouraging the gen- eral efforts of this the youngest review to greater success. Auto Collision Mr. Eric Harrison and Mr. George Payne were in an auto collision on Sunday night, when their cars crashed together at the corner of Fourteenth and Marine Drive. Mr. Payne was coming down Fourteenth Street while Mr. Harrison was proceed- ing along the Drive. Beyoml bent fenders, the cars suffered no damage and neither autoist &vas injured. Spring Is Here Again United Church Choir Concert United Church choir is giving a concert next Friday, Dscem- bar 10th, at 8 p.m. This concert, according to the programme at hand, will be one which is well worth attending. The hfcintyre quartette and Mrs. F. X. Hodg- son, hfr. W. Sparrow, and ihIr. A. J. Addy are all artists of recog- nized ability. hfrs. J. Durbin is the accompanist and Mr. J. Haydn Young the conductor. The proceeds of the concert will go to church funds and hymn books. Spring is with us again in West Vancouver. The roses are still blooming in a number of the gardens of our residents and the canes of others are still yielding a crop of raspberries. Wild roses have been seen in bloom in some parts of the municipality. The croaking of frogs has been heard in a num- ber of places in the district. All this in December, while the ice is forming thick in Eastern streams and the blizzards are blowing over the Great Lakes. There is certainly nn need for West Vancouverites to go to California in order to escape the winter. The Literary Society The next twn meetings of the Literary Society will be devoted to Scottish subjects. On Mon- day evening, December 6th. a summary of the writings of Sir Arcbibald Geikie on the rela- tions of Scottish landscape to Scottish poetry will be given.

HO Nov THE WEST VAN NEWS Fashions for Milady One would say that n gcorg- ette frock was the antithesis of a tailors&i nne. but nnt so. in this advanced ago. In navy blue, having long tight sleeves, high neck, with tic at back nr on the shoulder. flat pleats concealing the fullness and belted &vith embrolderod suede, this most attractive model was scen at 8 smavt shop in the city. With such a model can be worn 8 very smnrt hap&i-blncke&l felt, with scanty trimming for day wear, or a bright little silver hat with a touch nf rose, for din- ner and the dance. ~ ~ ~ A recent arrival among the girls'vening dresses was white talfeta with clusters of old- fashioned flowers in scattered design all over it. Silver laco and hanging ends of black velvet ribbon were the only trimmings. ~ s s Amnng the accessories that will make acceptable Chriptmas gifts are the hand-painted hand- kerchiefs of genrgette and crepe de chine. )Vith piquant littla faces in the corners, they make 8 cham)ing note of color when tucked in the left cuF or pocket. s s ~ Velvet roses in natural or un- natural colors are the vogue for Christmas wear on fur collars. They are very rich looking and becoming to nearly everyone. s s s Parma violate in silk, with very real looking foliage, are shown, also the English violet. Those made of shaded velvet are much more expensive, but won- derfully good looking and wear well. The regular meeting of the Scottish Society will be held on Friday, December 17th, in the "Clachan." The theme will be "Burns and His Songs." Miss Frame and Mrs. Selwnod will be in charge of the programme. Members may bring a friend. President, phone West 186L; Secretary, West 101.
