A convenient and accessible psce
would be over the closets usually found
in the passsgeway between sleeping
apartments.
Be prudent also and keep your cord
and twine. After rolling and fastening
the same, place in two pasteboard boxes,
leaving one in the kitchen closet for the
many uses of the laundry-maid. For
example, she runs strong cord through
the button-holes of the collars and cuffs,
ties the ends Of the cord between two
lengths of the clothes-line, so saving
space on the line, and the annoyance of
separately fastening each piece of linen
by clothes-pin. Having placed the
box conveniently for kitchen uses, put
another in the closet most accessible for
the entire family. Besides these, have
dainty silk-oovered balls OF twine in the
library and other parts OF the house.
They will prove pretty as well as use
full ornament for any room. and IL to
the same you will attach a small pair Of
scissors, these also will be found a great
convenience.
And what can be said regarding the
hunt for writing paper and lead-pencils7
Not only the family but the servants
should know where TO find at once the
requisites for writing brief note.
Frequently messages are left with
maid when it is not safe to trust an i'm
portant matter to her memory. So, to
avoid mistakes, and for a variety 81
reasons, keep pad of paper and two
well-sharpened lead-pencils - in case
one should meet with accident-in the
drawer of your hat rack, or some equal
ly convenient place. In large families
such a pad is sometimes kept to tell
when to lock the hall door. AS one and

all the names are checked but that of

Writing-paper. envelopes. lead-pen-
ellis, pens, pen-holders and good black
ink should be part of the furnishing
of your guest-chamber. 1t is very in
convenient as well as embarrassing for
a visitor to be obliged to ask permission
to write note or letter, and when
friends come unprovided with their own
stationery do not let them miss their
own home comforts, but have all the lit
tie necessary things within easy reach.
1t is not rich upholstery nor dainty fres-
Going which they will take away as
pleasant memories, but the warmth,
cheer and thoughtfulness that kept them
from missing the charm Of their own
homo life. How strained become our
nerves and how impatient our words
when looking for a button-hook or the
pins if visitor Is kept waiting, or an
engagement that demands immediate
attention is delayed! The Bible says:
"The little foxes spoil the vines"
Happy is the mistress whose furnishing
of home is such thai the little needed
things are not forgottenl
