SOME PRETTY SCREENS.

The frame for an ordinary three-panel
screen, five or six feet in height, can be
made of pine for about two dollars. A
smooth covering of gray or ecru batiste
joined and overlapped along the center
Of the edges by row of small tacks with
round brass heads, makes neat and SER
viceable screen for dining-room or hall.
The panels may have a design of nastur-
tium vine with crimson and yellow flow
ers trailing from the top, painted on tho
panels so as to seem a continuous growth
and interlacing. This for one side the
other can have a painted border at the
top of the panels, five inches deep, Of
notified ground, nasturtium-leaf green
and crimson, with many lines of gold
touched along, and line Of gold below
to finish the border. Discs and half
circles in groups of three interlaced can
be powdered over the panels. Outline
them with gold after the background,
the same as the border has been painted.
Some or the single crescents need only
be outlined in gold, as the idea of heavi-
ness must be avoided. Small lines of
gold-Japanese sky-lines as they are
called-may be streaked across above the
border at the bottom. One must try the
effect of their colors and combinations
on bit Of the linen or batiste, and in
troduce these sketchy effects with judg-
ment and discretion. -HonseteiJe.

HOUSEHOLD APPAIRs.
CONCERNING MOTHS.

"The damage by moths is done when
the millers begin to fy," explains the
Upholstery Trade RepieSc, Gas their very
presence indicates the absence of the
worm" Carpets are seldom troubled
with moth worms except where Matched
in dark, unprotected space, and where
1t is moderately warm. Nearly all the
trouble from moths emanates from the
furniture, the burlap inside the outer COW
ering being their best field for work,
where they can be free fiom annoyance
and find plenty to eat. Many furniture
dealers realize their danger, and cleanse
the burlap used with naphtha. The au-
thority quoted says: "Cleansing carpets
by the naphtha process is regarded as tho
surest and most satisfactory where is the
slightest suspicion of moth eggs or worms.
1t is especially adapted to pile carpets.
Caution should be exercised as to the
purity and clearness Of the naphtha used
and the thorough extraction OF the grease,
else the dirt adheres more easily than be-
fore. Where carpets are to remain in
storage some time the odor can be left in
the carpet. A more thorough cleansing
can be assured by having the carpet
beaten first. A surface application of
naphtha will drive the impurities through
the article to be absorbed by that which
is under it."

When the knees of child's stocking
becomes much darned it is almost use
less, as 1t constantly breaks into holes
again, and is always ugly. The follow
ing plan of mending will be found very
much superior to darn, and is quite
imperceptible. Decide what size patch
will be required. Cut the stocking care
fully across the top and bottom of the
patch, taking care to cut along one row
of the knitting. AS the stocking is knit
from the top it will be necessary, if
ribbed, to begin at the top Of the patch.
Rip row or two till all the stitches are
clear ofbroken threads. Do not break off
the threads at each side, but cut them in
the centre. Pick up all the stitches along
the top of the patch. Now clear the
stitches at the bottom Of the patch You
will have to cut the thread sometimes
to get it free of the stitches if
the stocking is ribbed, but al
ways leave threads at each at least
an inch long. Now cut out the patch.
keeping it about one-half an inch narrower
on each side than the piece you intend
to knit in. Ravel out this one-half an
inch on each side, leaving the ends as
they are. BE sure to stop ravelling so
that the sides of the patch will be quite
even. Now knit backward and forward
as many rows as you have taken away.
Turn the stocking wrong side out and
lay the stitches you have just knit beside
the stitches you picked up at the bottom
of the patch and knit them together, as
In the heel of a stocking. Sew up each
side of the patch, keeping the rows per-
fectly even, and keeping all the loose
threads on the wrong side; take darn
ing needle and run each thread to the
right or left of the patch. If the stock
ing is knitted plain, you can begin at the
bottom of the patch anu Knit up, which
is, of course, neater as the join is out of
sight, being near the topof the stocking.
