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.

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.
Cut out two pieces of doth half
an loch larger than the pad which
it is to contain. Baste the two
pieces together, allowing a suffi
cient opening. Trim the tower free
edge so that it will not show, and
hem it. The ease is then scalloped
all around with mercerized thread.
If less work is desirable, buttonhol
ing, closely done, will be found
equally e Recti vo as will binding
with white or beige bias tajie to
match the material. '
- A luncheon set to match can be
made from two or three more flour
bags, and it can easily be dyed
some pleasing tint according to the
popular vogue for colored linens.
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.

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.

Pansies and Violas
Although tho pansy, botaiilcally,
Is a viola, Viola tricolor, a distinc
tion between the pausies and other
members of the genus is made, the
pansy being characterized by its
createst sized blooms although in
coloring it is difficult to determine
whero a viola ends and a pansy
starts, especially In tho halfway
hybrids known as tufled pahsies,
which In somo cases havo bootr de
veloped to pansy size. ! ,
The tufted pansies have the ad
vantage over the pansy In !thcir
greatr hardiness and greater, pro
fusion of bloom, the tuft part con
sisting of a great number of stems
springing from tho base of 'the
plant after Its first blooms from
seed to replenish tho supply, t Tho
old stems should be cut back
when they grow a little straggly
and the tufting process will nialwi
nice neat compact bushes.
Rock gardeners have been re
sponsible for tho development of
many viola types. Viola bosulaca,
a crimson type or a clear magenta,
Is one of theso. 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. Viola Huselmcre comes close
to being pink and Is a Very pretty,
small but profuse, flowering viola.
Some very pretty blue forms often
occur among Haselmerc seedlings
that are fully as fine as the type.
Lord Nelson is a rich, deep-colored
hybrid violaHhat has attained
muah popularity. AH of - these
forms bloom tho first year from
