WHEN
r
Easy Reforms.
HEN It la the duty of the
daughter of the house to duat
parlor and put It In order,
often goes to the taak
Joylessly. 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.
', Bo If tu.a dlssauafaotion la your
trouble, dear girls, let us see If we
' - cannot do something to remedy It
. Perhaps, to begin with. It la tha carpet.
, Jt was a good carpet In Its day, and
mother doesn't admit Us-present short-
, f. comings. ill try as you wui, the
habby places are the most consDlcu
, us places, and the faded colora defy
. all your sfforts to make the room look
. attractive, (jouia sna not b per--.
s)us4ed, tulnk you, to have the carpet
sent to the rugmakers, to be mads Into
one large, sort rugT The work done by
eucn esiaousnmenit in tne city is gen
rally satisfactory, and the contrast
' between a rood rug and a shabby car
pet mors man repays one for tbs IS or
. t expanse. .
When the carpet la away, persuade
the big brother, or take upon yourself
ns pleasant lass or staining or paint
, " In ths floor. The dealers In paints
will talk tha case over with you and
will advise as to what Is ths best for
your particular floor.
. ijok nest to the window curtains
!ire they ths traditional lacs affaira,
, which are still good and therefore must
till be used, no matter how out of
cateT And are they hung on wooden
. poles much too heavy for them, and
with great brass rlnga which are grow
, Ing tarnished?
Tease mother a little and she will
let you take them down and perhaps
- make use of them In a bedroom. Look
over late numbers of ths- household
nsgaslnes and And a window treatment
that will fit your particular windows.
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.

B raped with a silk affair and littered
- with a motley collection of thlnga that
must be kept on exhibition because
somebody gave them to somebody? But
It is your home, and It is showing no
- disrespect to your rrienas to make it
attractive. If their particular gifts
' look awkward on .your fireplace shelf,
J'Ut them somewhere else. If thsy ars

- The open tire Is the cheeriest gath
ering place in tbs whole house, and one
does not want to bs disturbed by ths
' sight of a heterogeneous mass of things
, wnicn ao not go wen togetner and
, which confuse the eye. 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. But this is enough for this
time. Next time we will consider some
other easy reforms In the household.

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

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

Cloth dresses are now seen at all the

noticeable featurs is the little coatee
mat accompanies them. 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.

T
What a Kitchen Needs. a substitute for the "fat pine" of earlier
HE equipment that should go Into J days. To make a oulck and satisfactory
fire klndler, add three ounces of tallow

dust (which may be obtained in almost
any city) until very thick. 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

a single match, and yield a blase strong
enough to Ignite any kind of dry wood.
