Something la the ; natter with it, though sue does not ' kaow what, and It la a something that takes away all pleaaure from what j . 'Should be a cheerful and pleasant taak. It Is a womanly Inatlnct to want to r inake the home attractive, and from - the days of her babyhood the daughter . has loved nothing better than playing ., bouse and setting a toy equipment In : raer ror ner aoiues.

It will cost very little to make cheese cloth curtains bordered with two strips f sllkallne, and feather stitched with ths corresponding color. Hang these ' close to ths windows on ths telescop ing brass rods, .which cost only a few cents apiece. If It is desirable to add to ths width Of tbs wln-ow, hang at the sides, from larger brass pole heavier curtains of simple stutt and of a restful color. If ths shades ars cracked and spotted, they can be replaced with new ones quite cheaply, or, If the expense Is too much, thsy can be painted with com mon floor paint and be mads to do a while longer. - This Is not theory! It has been done and proved satisfactory. Simply spread ths shads fun length in the attic or In an uncarpeted room and paint It. So much for ths windows. SJ a aaaaaie. -.'

Remove the dust-catching draperies, and ths Ill assorted articles of ornament Have oniy a lew ornaments, which you know ars good of their kind. If yon have none that are good of their kind, have , a plain vase or Jar with ferns or fir ,; boughs or .pussy-willows or Oregon , grape. Don't have '- picture cards, nor last year's valentines, nor photographs of your relatives or family on view in the general living-room. KeeD these inti- . tnacies for your- own bedroom or your . aiaum oi remembrance. Don't be afraid of simplicity. We have generally outgrown the age of . paper flowers. on the walls, and Knitted tidies and saddle bags over the chairs and all the frippery nonsense that cum :. bered the living-rooms of 20 years ago. -- We no longer make attractive parlor - ornaments of discarded tomato cans ' . and papa's suspenders, but we have not . yet fully learned that a few things rather than many make our homes at tractive. Most people have too much furniture, too many tables, too many ! ornaments, too little room to move about in. A woman cannot move gracefully In a . cramped little room where she has to be on guard every moment for fear of : nocking something over or bumping - Into soms fantastic arrangement. Clear ' the room of the unnecessary furniture . and the center tables, and have an un impeded path for the guest who enters. , You, the daughter of the house, to . whom this little talk Is addressed, will ' Mid when this much Is accomplished that the room looks larger and more , restful i and that you can enter it in the quiet, self-possessed way that hows repose, you can hold your head - up ana walk as freely as on the street, and that is a big thing In the modern borne.

Fads and Faahions. ' By Florence Fairbanks. EW YORK, Feb.' The new ma terlals for spring, especially the thin ones, are certainly charm ing and when made up Into gowns they will be still more at- tractlvs. In silks, satins and crepe meteors and llbertya, changeable ef fects Is the notloeable feature. The lustrous crepe de chine shows garlands of flowers and festoons thrown ovsr ths surface. Foulards are showing for the latest pattern wide and narrow stripes with an overdeslgn of a Greek key or Interlaced rings. China silks, soft and melting, are flowered and striped. One of the novelty silks Is striped with squares formed of. blocks and whits checks scattered over the surface. A pretty silk voile shows very narrow lines of ths new wood brown on a whits ground, and wafer dots for ths over pattern. Tussore will be a great favorite and can be found plain, striped, checked or dotted in sell color, or bordered, striped or dotted ln a con trasting color. Plain tussore sou t ached In self oolor. It Is predicted, will havs a popular run. Sleeves on tne new moaeis win snow very little change from those of the winter. The long mitten sleeve, which is always made of some transparent material, will be seen on house frocks for dinners and . bridge parties. The three quarter leAgth Is more or lebS popular although It is less becoming than either tha short or long sleeve. Costume sleeves are usually made up of two or three materials, the top part being In one with the bodice and the rest, as far as it goes, from ths elbow length to the wrist, of some trans- fiarent stuff, or it may Simply be a ighter weight material than the gown.

This Is a com piete contrast to the dress, but has a touch of the material or some note of color tnat connects them and makes it evident that it Is a comnleta costume. A particularly striking dress following this description was developed ln the darkest DOSSlble shade of arreen.

Have ready boards or boxes spread with sawdust to ths depth of an Inch or more, and upon this pour the hot mixture, ana leave un til cold. The layer of sawdust prevents it from sticking to the boards and when cold it may be broken Into lumps and stored for future use. A block of this mixture an Inch square will kindle with a single match, and yield a blase strong enough to Ignite any kind of dry wood.
