Perhaps yoo tan think back to fthe days when the dining room table wax covered with heavy flan Bel or a cumbersome asbestos pad to protect the surface of the table. It was the coming of the luncheon cloth, and doily set in place of the ;large linen table cloth that caused these clumsy protective coverings to be replaced with small round or oval asbestos mats. . A smart and practical set of cov ers for them can be made from a single empty flour bag. If you do not have one en hand, your baker . . can let you have one for a few cents. Remove the stamping by covering it with kerosene or lard for a few hours and then wash out Does Spring Cleaning i Disturb Your Family? " ' Spring Isn't all piisny willows liml vlolnta. For bolno ppoplo it iitrutiH unlv KUluhur and niulHtwCM. an epidemic of poetry and house-! cleaning! Ask any marrted man which Is tlio worst of these evils and moat llkuly.ho will cite house cleaning. After living through an annual uuourgc of scrubbing palls, cold potutoc.il, mlspluccd furniture und nervous flurcups, it is no wonder uuine men envy tb.i lOnklmoa who aro said to have solved their spiitig cleaning problems bSr vemnvlng the roof from tho huuso and lcitlng tho rain take ltd course.

Tho truly efficient housekeeper need iiavo no fears of her bus band's sudden longing fur distant place at this time of tho year. Silio knows how to keep him chained to tho fireside. Her method is .to clean tho house bit by bit through out tho year bo that there nro no ' vust accumulations of rubbish to rcmovo at once. Certain tuska come every day, every week, or every month. Koap and water, frequently and liberally applied, help to maintain cleanli ness and order and to Insuro tho comfort of tho family throughout the year. There may bo a thoro springtime renovation, but It Is a ayatcmatlc procedure, accomplish ed without disrupting .tho family morale. Tho old system of spring clean ing has tho advantage of showing results when It . Is done, compar able to the small boy's desire not to wash his nock until It la dirty enough to show the .difference. Hut now even liltlo boys nro being converted to frequent wushhtgs and dally baths. An old proverb says, "Ono keep clean Is belter than ten make cleans." Tho woman who heeds tills advice should reap her reward In a smoothly functioning house hold, thereby earning the praise of her friends and the gratitude of hor family. 4 - Harbors of Health One of the picturesque sights of New York harbor which. In this season of tho year, is missed by many people Is the famous "float ing hospital," the great steamer which brings myriads of the poor children of tho metropolis to health and hapnlnesa. The new annual report of St. John's Guild which operates the floating hospi tal and a great shore hospital as well, relates that 't.HO.lH moth ers, children and babies have been cared for oyyhe steamer since the aoclcty's sfrt in 17S. Chief among the canons of this guild Is the doing of all this work "without regard to creed, color or national-Ity." TO DOILIES la warm water.

Home Decoration By Jane Snedicor llotisewlvoB having problems on interlor-decration will find this column interesting. Queries may bo addressed to the editor of this pago. caro Mail Trlbuno. By June Snedicor. In all home furnishing, tho great and most important idea should always be, to realize what really is needed before attempting to sup ply it. Apart from Its environment no decorative object should for a mo ment he considered, for no matter how intrinsically beautiful It may lie, If IL docs not fit both usefully and decorativoly Into tho existing scheme of things. Us advent will bring not beauty but discord and discontent. Query. Which Is bent to hang hi tho narrow space between two windows, a mirror or a panel pic ture? Mrs. T. Answer. The mirror by oil means sinco thu strong light on either sido spoils the value of tho picture, no matter how simple it may be. The mirror picks up the stray rays of light ami reflecting them and other bits of color and life, becomes a bright and Interest ing spot in the room. Query. Aro valences used on ordinary windows now? Mrs. W. P. L. Answer. Not very often. Some windows demand the valence, but the slmpller treatment Is always to bo preferred. When uped they must be tailored. Query. Are all true Chinese rugs of a certain color? Mrs. C. D. M. Answer. In China there ore five colors which arc known to bo held us sacred, each one supposed to bear a relation to various natural objects and phenomena. Authori ties have noted the sequence most commonly accepted to be as fol lows: Mark, green, red, white, yel low. Unlike I he other oriental rugs, the Chinese rugs do not seem to have any particular symbolic meaning as a whole; they do not eonvey the hltdory of the maker's life. Tho weaver on the other hand seems to have used designs which have pleased hi in, whether he found them on old bronzes, or In paintings or on carved stono pieces. Query. What Is the difference between chlnlz and cretonne? Mrs. P. 8. Answer. Roth are printed cot tons, "cretonne" being the French for cotton cloth printed In colored designs. Chlntx comes from the Hindoo word "ehlnt," meaning full of color. Cretonne Is a heavier, coarser woven cloth than chintz. 'Toleration is no more a virtue than Intolerance but each depends on the object sought. The true &im of Hf hi tn rjulrAtA vlt antt I falsity, not to be tolerant of it." Pointers forParents Children today are healthier and sturdier than any children have ever been before In thlH country. And all of thin nan come about because wo have learned how to keep them well and strong. Tho true child hyglcnlst realizes that any need for tho euro of tho physi cal uilments is a confession of fail ure on his part. jtaoHt children will show on early interest in planning and digging and planting If grown-ups give them just a little encouragement and help. It Is. of course, much easier for Father and Mother to do all tho gardening themselves rather than to help children who do not work as rapidly or skilfully. But If a child makes his own gar don ho discovers tho Joy of out door work. :. There is one place In the United States where parents do not havo to' inako their children go to church. It Is tho little town of Walden, N. Y., and tho church which tho children seek as natur ally as they seek sunshine Is called tho Children's Cathedral., The Chil dren's Cathedral has been built In a wing of tit. A n d r e ws' s Pa rish church and has Us own distinct entrance: a churchly. Gothic door, but a low door, child size. , It is certainly true that it takes morn wisdom and courage to bring up children well In this modern complex life than ever before. "Wo admit that it is difficult but the very word "difficult" Is a chal lenge; the use of the word admits that tho problem is not Insoluble but that It will require real study and thought. I believe that such careful consideration on the part of parents will lead them to apply to their everyday problems In bringing up their children this) philosophy of restraint In youth in order to ovoid satloty In later life and tho need of quiet and leisure for reading and dreaming. Linoleum is a safo flooring in homes where there are children. It may be kept sanitary with a I nilnlmirtti of effort. The inlaid variety, which lasts Indefinitely, is porous. Manufacturers recently have come to the aid of the house keeper by treating this floor cov ering with a lacquer finish before It leaves tho factory. This prevents the pores from absorbing dirt. It really Is not necessary to wax these new linoleums, but It is a good plan to do It occasionally. The wax serves as a protection to the lacquer and provides the gloss of elegance. Our generation grew up In the belief that children acquired knowledge only when spurred on by a teacher; but when wo placed them In appropriate surroundings we found that they became far more eager In work and more ef- fletent In Its performance than they had ever been In the conven tional curricula of schools. In the nuisery schools of today children display an astonishing precocity, a rango and grade of faculty un heard of before Tho old dogma that dlsclpllno and Industry lu schools were dependent upon the teachers is also exploded. Wo now find that children In our nursery schools are capable of effective self-discipline. We are aware that In urging tho necessity of educating girls from six to sixteen in the art of dress we are likely to run up against criticisms from many sonslhlc women who feel that at that ago such things as clothes should be unimportant. If, however, one thinks It over I bcllcvo one has to admit that such an attitude Is either unsympathetic or downright dishonest. There Is no time In a woman's life when sho does not like clothes, but the love of "dress ing Up," of color, fabric and dec oration is most keen when the senses are most alive, namely In childhood. New Prints Have you seen the now printed silks from Paris courturlcrs fea tured by una of tlio Avenue shops?

It is a species and comes true from seed and Is a bril liant hit of color., It now has hybrid forms. One of tho daintiest and most graceful of the violas is viola gra cilis, which hus also been hybri dized Into a number of colors, some of them very rich and vel vety.
