CARE OF TIE BEDROOM:

If the young ladies of the household want
q heathful, an agreeable and graceful ex-
ercise, they could find none better than that
of bed-making. Some professor of physical
culture has said that many of the attitudes
and movements OF the most proficient in
this art are unconsciously taken by the
careful and intelligent bed maker; that the
lifting and swinging of the bedclothes across
the bed brings into healthy action the mus
cles of the arm, shoulder and upper part OF
the body, and that the movements have
lightsome grace and dexterity that. requires
as much control as the Delsarte leather
movement But aside from the physical
benefit from this occupation, and not with
ANYTHING of the kind in view, there are

quite consistent with the most refined
housekeeping
The bedstead as an article Of furniture
seems to have ever been, and now is, the
one which, above all others, has been made
to serve other purposes than that for which
1t was primarily intended. Quite ingenious
contriyances have been devised by which
the bedstead is suddenly converted into
writing desk-or what not. So, in some
households, in and under the bedstead
seems to be the most convenient place to
store OF hide away all sorts of things. The
sweepinEs Of the room find their appropri-
ate resting place there; and, although /

and who constantly abused the poor things,

no doubt that It has many victims. The
guest bed should not be made until the
guest has arrived. Bedding, we all know,
gathers dampness, even although the air it
self is not percep,ibly humid. For this
reason there should be no eliot hing what
ever kept on 1t until 1t is needed, and In
the meantime the mattress and pillows
should be covered with starched and
vsllrlaundried dust sheet. And this is

many housekeepefs that, even with cham
bermaid at their command, prefer to make
their own beds rather than entrust this
duty to maid who has no conscience In
the matter. Such q housekeeper, although
she may not be "high up" in letters, ex-
emplifies to perfection the ideal of the old
classic Herrick, whose sentiment has been
re-echoed thousand times:
Who sweeps room as by Gods law,
Makes that and the action fine.
IF maid should neglect to strip the bed
entirely each day You may, by the same
token, know OF surety that she lacks con-
science.

are very materially battered. If ceanli-
ness is desirable anywhere outside of the

yet from purely sanitary or Wholesome
point Of view, there are many housekeepeFs
who have no regard whatever to the condi-

mistake, for instance, to make as is ire

suggests that it is well worth while to make
the bed as good as it is possible. Be the
quality of the mattresses and bedding ever
so good, you cannot have comfortable bed
to lie in unless You give the articles of
which it is composed proper care and follow
a good method. Not every bed that Is good
TO look upon is good to lie in. A clean,
yell-aired and well-made bed invites sweet,
refreshing slumber. An unaired, poorly
made bed offers restlessness and insomnia.
One OF the best methods for bed-naking
is that taught by Miss Emily Huntington,
OF "H ouse School" fame, and it is the
method used by many model housekeepers,
who declare that they could not be induced
to make bed in any other way. The
method this lady teaches may bE stated as
follows: When about to undress the bed In
the morning, place two chairs with the seats
facing each other, nesrlan open window II
the weather is fair Beat the pillows well
and place them on the seats of the chairs
Then begin to remove tie bedding one piece
~ time, shaking each piece vigorously to
free it from lint and fuzz Flirt each
blanket, guilt or.sheet over the bed, hold
ing it firmly in the hands, and allow 1t to
fall in three graceful folds. Then slip the
hands under the piece of bedding, remove
from the bed and place it over the backs of
the cha rs as shown in the above eut. II
the mattress is an undivided one, bend 1t
(without taking it off the springs) until it
assumes the shape OF tunnel This is not
onlv an excellent way to air the mattress
on both sides at once, but it preserves its
shape and keeps it from getting "hatted'
in tue center. The hardest and most un-
bed that one can lie upon is the
"fatted" mattress. A very ill person on
such bed would assuredIy have less de-
sire to live than he would on comfortable
pallet
All good housekeepers agree as to the
time required to fresheu or air the bedding.
In no instance, should it be less than an
hour, and it is an excusable offense il it is
found at high noon With the air still blow
ing over it.

I'm sure you want real pretty, cheap,
rain hat, one that will stand almost any
thing, and yet one that will not look
shabby and ugly if the rain you started out
In should happen to suddenly cease and the
sun should shine out brightly before you
reached home. This sort of thing happens
very often, even these winter days Well,
then, take large piece of very thick felt
the color you want, and cut it perfectly
round; then wire its edge. Now take it
and put into the back and side of it such
pretty curves and plaits as, taste may die
tate and as may become you. Curve it
slightly downward at the sides over your
ears so that it will fit your head.
Take the pieces of telt that are left over,
and make some pretty loops and ends to
trim the front. Buy few fancy quills-
there are some very pretty ones to be had
that add wonderful piquancy to plain
hat-and combine with your felt trimming
If you want to introduce little astrakhan,
all right. 1t NAV add to the good effect,
but if you use only the quills and the felt,
and combine them tastefully, you will need
nothing more. Such hat costs almost
nothing, and will stand almost any weather
or treatment

There are some over-fastidioas persons
who are SO anxious 10 get the household in
order early in the morning that they cannot
spare the time for bed-airiug. 1 have
heard of woman who takes great pride in
telling that she always makes her bed
be fore she takes off her night robe There
are others again who never think of airing
the bedding during the entire winter
season, dreading the FRESH air as though it
were laden with contagion.
Then there are those who merely throw
thd bedding (for week at time) over the
footboard and after airing it tor short
ii me turn it back to the head, perfectly
satisfied with this manner of d-making
This is really the most untidy fashion that
can be thought OF
Many good housekeeper follows .
method Of making mp her beds In manner
different from any of these given, and in
way peculiar to herself. A good and ap-
proved system, however, should be adopted
by the young-but three essential things to
be observed are that the bedding be re-
moved entirely from the bed every day,
that it be well shaken, we'll aired and
properly adjusted
With Miss Huntipgton's system of air
ing, the process, by the neat arrangement
she direcIs, does not give the room an un-
tidy appearance Some women throw all
the bedding in heap on the hoor-which
is better than not taking it Of sthe bed at
all-paying no regard Whatever to the place
the clothes occupied, whether at the head
or the foot
From the text books of domestic science
pupils are taught that there are three
things necessary toa well-made bed, name
ly: it must be level, square and smooth.
To keep tho mattress level 1t must be
turned frequently from end to end and from
side to side, not forgetting when airing 1t
to bend it as above directsd. To make the
bed square the bedding must be turned
neatly under the corners OF the mattress
The smoothness of the bed will depend al
together on the manner in which the bed
ding is adjusted, The cletheb must be
drawn very tightly over the mattress It |
must not be forgotten that the right sides |
OF the two sheets should come together |

{. A good housekeeper would hardly care to
be told that aside from having the bedding |
well aired and the bed well made, the bed
stead itself should have special care. The
necessity for this is SO apparent that it may |
be referred to as an incident to bed-making, |
and an essential not to be oyeriooked.
Early in the spring, long before the regular
house-olean ing comes, the bedsteadsshould'
be carefully examined and all the cleste
