Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1888-05-20

to be desired, happy home enters into the
attainment Of the coveted end, and to tne
hands of women is this source OF long
lie and happiness committed. ln oroer
to be fitted for the work they must De
healthy in body and MIND. Life IS snort
ened and health shattered by the great
nervous strain women put upon
themselves in the effort to keep
up appearances, falling to appreciate
that happiness is not In those things tnat
excite envy in our neighbors, but nome
happiness is found in cheerfulness amid
the dull routine Of domestic duty, LIE
giving mirthfulness and SO much OF oesuty
in the house furnishings as shall satisfy
modest desires on the part OF the In
mates. To maintain cheerfulnees IL is
necessary to bring sunshine within oY
outdoor exercise. There is wonderful
reservoir of energy in sunbeams, ana no
woman should neglect to draw there
from, and SO order her domestic lie IS 10
have walk, long or short, to give
elasticity to her movements ana 10 De
means of grace amid her daily recurring
duties.
There is something radically wrong
with that woman who does not erlgnten
her surroundings, no matter how plain
and simple they may be. That her dwell
ling is not tasteful is not 80 much the
want of dollars and cents as 1t
is want Of enthusiasm Tor
her home. She fails to recognize
that superior to all questions OF suffrage,
OF equal rights, of business interests, IN
short of most of the topics so eagerly
discussed at present, to her are the sues
tons: How shall make the homa lie
happy? How shall make 1t 5eautifals
How shall make the home center from
whence shall radiate Influences eleVstlng
and refining, so thst In sitter years its In
mates shall look back as to Q blessed ma
ven, and bear through life its hslloWlng
associations? The accomplishment OF
this lies within herself. If she loves art,
she will find little to spare now ana
then for pretty etching to adorn her
walls; if she loves literature, some econ
omy practiced will allow few magazines
and editions-not costly-of standard
authors to find their way to q modest IL
brary. Birds and flowers will lend light
ness, and her narrow life redeemed from
much Of its baroness.
In these days OF odd pieces OF furni-
ture, woman can easily pick up an odd
chair or table, q corner cabinet or
bookcase to fill some niche.
As white and gold are still the popular
fancy, it is an easy matter to have these
made fresh.
For an inexpensive white room there
are painted suits in white ornamented
with floral designs, showing the same
delicate lines and graceful curves which
are obtained In richer styles. The chairs
are straw seated and the white woodwork
picked out in some delicate tint or gold.
Lovely sets are colored in faint blue
of delicate gray or pale ecru tint, show
ing small floral effects that are extremely
hands ONE. There are charming designs
in chintzas and cretonnes for upholster-
ing purposes, and new wall papers de-
signed in white and gold. A recent
style gives the effect of white and gold
paneling with patterns in large or small
effects. Pompadour chsllis, cretonnes
and CHIMES are all used for window
draperies.
To Remove Paint from Windows
Melt some soda in very hot water and
wash with it, using q soft flannel. It will
entirely remove the paint.
