How to Care for sponges.

Nothing in the bathroom should be
so carefully looked after as the sponge.
That but little consideration is given it
is daily shown in the forlorn and neg
lected condition of this very necessary
adjunct to cleanliness. Instead of be-
ing left to dry in the sponge basket it
is, as rule, dropped down in some cor
ner and allowed to soak or given one
sided chance on the sill outside the
room. 1t is simply useless to expect to
keep your sponges in sweet and
wholesome condition so long as they
are treated in this manner In the first
place, they must not only be thorough
ly washed, but in order to prevent their
becoming foul each part of the sponge
should be exposed to the open air. Fas-
tidious women see to it that this toilet
article is each week cleansed by drop
ping it into water in which a large
lump of soda has been dissolved, after
ward boiling it for sixty minutes, when
it is rinsed in cold water and given a
sun bath until entirely dry. Always
rinse all soapy suds from your sponge
and then throw 1t into your basket,
which should be hung just outside the
BATHROOM window. A sponge cared for

Pretty Ways of Utilizing Discarded Pieces
of Furniture aud Bits of Finery.
Sometimes fashion is very good to
people with small purses. 1t has made
lounge rugs so much the rage that the
owner OF the shabbiest old family sofa
or divan may transform it into an ele-
CANT looking piece of furniture at q
small cost
Take as foundation an old and much
shrunken flannel blanket which by dint
of frequent washings had become of a
yellowish shade (if it is of home weav-
ing so much the better) and make it of
the right width TO cover your lounge
nicely falling almost to the floor. Look
among the bundles in your piece bag
for breadth or two from an old woolen
dress, which, like thrifty housewife,
ycu have laid aside against the hour of
use: tear it into strips from nine to
twelve inches wide; line with old paper
muslin, to give body, and baste in the
edges; with bit of chalk draw on these
strips running vine with leaves and an
open petalled flower, or scatter a dog
wood blossom and leaf here and there
over them. Work these in old gold and
dull reds if the goods is blue, in fainter
reds and dead gold if it is red, using
outline or short and long Kensington
which fills in very rapidly with crewels
Basic these strips lengthwise on the
blanket, leaving space about as wide
as the strip between each and applique
them with crazy stitches or herring
bone, using black crewels. Fifty cents
worth of crewels will more than suffice.
| Stripes from golden brown serge,
cashmere or flannel dress, worked with
darker browns, the designs afterward
outlined with gold, make very rich
cover. If any old goods which you may
happen to have is too light dye it. Fin
ish with a hem or heavy fringe.
One of these shrunken blankets dyed
dark brown and worked with crewels
n gold, wood, golden and seal browns
in interlaced rings and crescents makes
very nice rug. These are easily drawn
with an inverted tumbler. Bits of dark
| colored cloth cut in crescents, tleur-de-
lis or circles, interlined, basted on and
appliqued with crewels is another way
! of ornamentation.
A very pretty little ornament, and a
useful one, too, for a lady's bureau can
readily be made from the small shells
that you have gathered while at the
seaside last summer. Drill holes in the
shell with a small awl one hole at the
point, and one on either side at the top,
then tie the shells together with baby
ribbon, any color that suits the maker,
the one l made being of orange This
being done, cut out piece of cardboard
in the shape of circle sufficiently large
to form a bottom for the little basket,
Cover this piece of cardboard with silk
of the same color as the baby ribbon.
Fasten the shells by means of the lat
ter to the bottom and then line the in
terror with silk of the same color as
that on the bottom, making it into
puffs, and there you are. When com.
pleted you have neat and handy re-
ceptacle for rings and jewelry and also
pretty ornament You can vary the
style and have the little basket square
or oval shaped. The cost is tritling

A SOCIAL ACQUISITION.
How the Woman Artist Is Regarded In
the Country Where She Sketches.

How the Woman Artist Is Regarded In
the Country Where She Sketches.
An agreeable feature has become a
part of the social life in almost all the
rural villages where summer-folk gath
er. This is due to the women artists.
when the artist-man goes off for the
summer he goes alone. He packs his
kit, leaves home in good clothes, lodges
with farmer or fisherman, and paints
the girls and the shanty, is up before
the sun and in bed, perhaps, with the
chickens The artist-woman goes in
couples. She has a trunk with her best
clothes. In it she also puts some of her
prettiest bric-a-brac, draperies, books,
and bits of artistic odds and ends. She
engages room and disposes her pic
lures, studies, draperies, and books in
it. She creates an interior the like of
which has never been in a country of
flowered carpets and rectangular furni-
ture. TO this she adds the birds and
wasps' nests. the flamboyant weeds of
the field, strips of birch bark, and the
treasures of wood and field she can find
in her artistic forages. She has brought
also her amenities and social graces.
Under her white umbrella, before her
easel she is an interesting figure in the
landscape. People come from afar to
peep over her shoulder. With these she
makes acquaintance, and, presto, before
you know it she is social center. She
has day, and there are weekly recep-
tions and unlimited tea-drinkings. She
is invaluable in tableaux, with her
knowledge of colors, costumings and
lights There is a barn dance and she
presides at the decoration of the interi-
or In many ways she proves social
acquisition and is correspondingly pet
ted by the summer people, to whom she
has brought a new element of interest.
Meantime she has made pleasant ac-
quaintances, who in town may become
substantially valuable. N. Y. Sun.
