TAKING A PLUNGE

No doubt all of us would have dine such wonderful things with our lives if only we’d taken the plunge. Bin. there were risks—and we were tor afraid. Whatever one dies in life there is a r'tk attached. After all, there is a risk in walking along a struct. You never know what’s going to fall on so why. when a big chance cones along, talk of risk as thougj in your own little groove you never come up against it? We are always running our heads in danger, hut if we stopped to think about it we’d never move from our own doorstep. Plunge into life. If you find yourself in a groove get out of it. If you are free, with’ no home ties, and you find life dull, look out for another job—something that is completely different, that will take you away where you will have new friends new sights, new interests. Never mind if the job isn’t well paid, lake it and work hard. It will repay you. ‘ ■ You’ll fed younger, take more interest m life, acquire a sense of adventure, and—more important—a sense of humour. If you are tied—well, there are always outside interests for you, and dad will certainly understand that you must have some time, for yourself.' When you get your free days or evenings, remember that there are other people who are also fighting to get out of their rut. 'Fhcy’ve joined societies and clubs, and built up a circle of friends. You can do the same. 1 here is no need to stay in your safe little groove. (Jet out of it,"and you will find yourself feeling years younger, looking years younger meeting ail sorts of new people who will give yon a fresh interest in life. You won’t drown if you take the | plunge. Be brave and try it!

Tweed or Serge Suits.—Coats qnd suits made of tweed or serge can .-•iso bo cleaned with petrol, but it is well to remove the grease spots first with blotting paper and a warm iron.

Another method of cleaning is te sponge with warm water to which a little cloudy ammonia has been added, paying special attention to the stained spots. A dark cloth, preferably of the same material as the garment itself, should be used in the cleaning, since threads are likely to com e out of a white cloth, and they are extremely difficult to remove. After the cleaning, hang the garments up till it is partly dry, and then press on the wrong side with a hot iron and damp rag. Pleats should be tacked before pressing.
