The question is, what shall be done to
the kitchen to make it bright and at.
tractiye, and tie suggestions given are
intended particularly for country kltch'
ems. which seems to be very often the
t%horoughtare, if not the restlns-place
for the family. Vines, OF course, Wruld
be in the way in summer n at that
tune they are not needed SO. mucn, as
the kitchen doors are frequently draped
with honeysuckles or mornlng-slorles
on the outside, rs well as The kitchen
windows. But in the wintei, when 1t IS
cold and cherries outside, and the
graceful vines have turned into brown,
dead looking stalks, try to have some
thing green and fresh in the kltchen.
Train a vine, if only a sweet potato VINE
on one of the windows, and besides,
having saved all the empty cans from
canned fruit or vegetables, paint q
couple of tt'em red; have two holes
bored in each near tue top, through
which to run the strings, by which they
are to be suspended over the window.

cotton, over which sprinkle taxseeds

they are sown. In two or three weeks
these will sprout, aud the csttop will be
covered with q beautiful green messy
looking growth.

Taking Care or Nice Dresses.

Lady is ALWAYS to be known by her boots

something more than a check book. OF
