Whatever your room is, and how
ever it is furnished, be sure of n
/ thing that it is clean when you come
to 90 to bed in it. Don't have dirty
water standing in the wash basin or
slop bowl. Don't leave dirty clothes
in the room, unless it is unavoidable,
and then put them in the closet or a
bureau drawer. Always, ave in the
coolest weather, open the window a
crack. IL YOU are liable to colds you
can fence off a draught by hanging a
shawl or extra blanket over q chair in
front of the window. This is better
than a folding screen, because it is
not so large or high. and the air has
freer ingress. These remarks may
seem unnecessary, but i have known
some very nice people-like Beecher's
Mrs. Prim-who were the evers of
nice in their own chambers.
Some folks sleep in dens-literally
unaired dens-where the windows are
never opened and where the u eve
comes. Yes, and about that same sun.

would depend on what hour you rise.
II you get up at five, it will be well
enough to leave the windows I'M
shaded, for the sun is a splendid
alarm clock, only failing on rainy
days. The majority of people, how
ever, would do better to close the
blinds on retiring Edith MtRiter Ia

A practical part of dress that is
often snubbed by women who think
it is cleaner and more appropriate to
wear a soiled white petticoat than
one of wooden, silk or mohair goods in
black or a dark color is the
dark petticoat. To be sure, it
is the difference in taste that saves us
from monotony, but the saying,
Cleanliness is next to Goodness, " has
truth in every letter.
Silk is the most expensive material,

being used. with a shell plating, one
or three gathered ruiiies or n knife
plating on the edge. Others have a
lace ruffie, and where weight is OBJ
jected to there is simply a feather
stitched hem.
Black, lead and a dark tan are the
preferred colors in silk, with light and
dark gray and tan leading in mohair
designs, which are finished with a neat
ruffle. One very pretty skirt of this
kind is manufactured in Philadelphia,
and has silky white stripes as a border
on the demurest of gray shades, form
ing a remarkably taking petticoat.
The sanitary skirt is of black or
natural wool taffeta of a hard, twisted

Mrs. Gladstone.
She is one of the most charming
looking women you ever saw, declares
a correspondent of the Ladies' Home
Journal; a sweet, kind face framed in
full, soft, lovely hair and to pped by a
cap of velvet and lace. A gown that
falls in artistic folds and doesn't
rustic, and a way of looking at you
as if she were interested in every
biliHE you sdlQ-bldb ; AlIS. ulAQSIOnt. 1
She does not care for society, as it is
meant by the round of balls and re-
ceptions, and the giving and going to
them; but she is delighted when she
is at the head of her own dinner table
and has about her a circle of friends
who know and love her and Mr.. Glad
stone. Unlike the wife of any
other Prime Minister, she never
went in for having a salon, for sur
rounding herself with rich and power
full friends who would simply care to
be received at the house OF a Prime
Minister, and yet have no real inter
est in the cause which he so thor
oughly and entirely championed.
Instead, she has given her time to car
ing for him, to seeing that he was I'M
der any and all circumstances as COM
Portable as possible, and, that in this
way. his health was preserved for the
nation for which he did so much good.
Her happiest moments are when she
is with her husband at Hawarden, but
on every important occasion she has
always been by his side. Just re-
member that this means going over
the country in railway trains, being
for hours on open-air platforms, and
then you will understand why the
people OF England worship Mrs. Glad
stone as a heroine.
