About Playing the Lesson Over.

Many teachers just play the lesson
over for the pupil and then say, like
Bach, 1T must sound like this" This
is sufficient for advanced pupils only,
for all others much more instruction is
necessary-viz, what to do in order that
it may Sound like this.
Neither is it always necessary to play
the whole, perhaps very lengthy, piece
over for the pupil. A few single isolated
passages are often sufficient to pave the
way for thorough understanding.
Sometimes, when we have strange
piece rather difficult to understand
example, the first pieces of Bach, Schu-
mann or Chopin-it is necessary to play
the whole piece over before the pupil
begins to practice on it. At other times,
however, it is good plan to let the pu-
pill work his way alone, a little way per-
haps, in the Interpretation and manner
of execution Of new piece, and after
ward give him the necessary directions,
or perhaps practical help by playing it
all over for him
It is also good idea to allow adj
vanced pupils to take up piece and
work it up entirely to the best of their
ability until they play it correctly, in
their own estimation, or till they do not
see anything more in it. Then let the
teachers Judgment and experience exert
their influence upon the work. During
the first year the teacher should play
nearly everything over repeatedly, says
a correspondent of The Etude, authority
for the foregoing.

Household Notes.


With the exception Of the new table

changes in silver.
The "clover" teacloth is a charming
bit of table furnishing. The linen cloth
exhibits hemstitched border, the field

ground being worked in tender pink and
green, with sparse foliage.
In place of the clumsy feather buster,
try, when busting carved furniture, a

bristles.
In caring for a piano, nothing is SC
useful as good soft channels.
The new orange cups have appeared
in various forms. The original variety
had circular rim with prongs that held
the orange in place. Another variety
has silver spears at each side that pierce
the fruit. Still another has a set Of tur-

which the orange is screwed and held

method of course gives a more comfort

TREATMENT FOR MOTHS.
Methods of Destroying These Pests as Prac-
ticed by New England HOusekeepers.


Methods of Destroying These Pests as Prao-
ticed by New England Housekeepers.
There is no certain way of preventing
the entrance of moths to house. They
can easily intrude themselves and are
hard to detect. AS they work only in
darkness, where flood of light can be
admitted during the day they are not
likely to appear. 1t is to the obscure
hooks, therefore, that attention is to be
directed-to the edges and corners of
carpets, the contents of drawers, chests
and presses. All wooden goods should be
brushed and beaten, hung in the sun
and air if practicable, then be carefully
wrapped in thick, unbroken paper be-
fore being laid away. The moth miller
cannot get inside the paper to lay her
eggs, and the young moths cannot pene-
trate it after they are Matched.
The fumes of camphor are fatal to
moths, and in putting away winter
clothes and furs, wrapping with them
or placing in the Enclosure small
quantity of camphor gum is a pretty
certain preventive of moth ravages.
Tar is also repugnant to them. Tar pa
per for lining uses may be advanta-
geously employed. Turpentine, insect
powder and finely grourA pepper are
also fatal to the little pests if they can
be brought together, writes New Eng
land housekeeper in Good Housekeep-
ing. She says:
One method of treating carpets, up
holsteries and the like, which cannot
be readily reached in any other way,
may be called the steam BATH The
process consists in wetting the goods in
fected, then laying over them two or
three thicknesses of cloth thoroughly
wet and going over the whole with a
very hot fatiron. If this plan is thor
oughly carried out, the destruction of
both moths and eggs is certain.
The buffalo moth is even more vexa-
tious than the ordinary kind. He is
usually found about the edges of car
pets. In addition to woolens, this in
sect feeds on the pollen of various
shrubs and is said to be very fond of
spiraa. For this reason people are
warned against having this shrub near
their dwellings,, as the moth is said to
lily lIOlu III lutO tIlt Ito
eggs on any wooden article which can
be found, but remote dark corner is
given the preference. Camphor, pep
per and strong alum water are among
the preventives recommended for this
pest. Another plan, which is said to
work very well, is to take strips of red
or blue flannel, these colors being pecul-
iarly attractive to the moths, and sat
urate them with strong solution of ar
senic, placing them about the edges of
the carpets or in other sections infested
or likely to be troubled. The strip of
flannel will be eaten and the carpet
left intact. After making one meal the
intruder gives no further trouble of any
kind 1t does not need to be said that
in the use of so dangerous remedy the
greatest care should be exercised. Ben
zine and naphtha are also destructive to
moths and their eggs, but it must be re-
membered that they are very inflamma-
BILE and should be employed only in the
daytime and by a skillful and careful
person.

How to Fry ApDIes.
person.

Choose large, firm apples, rather tart,
wash without pairing and slice across, so
as to make round slices half an inch
thick, with the core in the center. Have
a spoonful of butter browning in the pan
and lay the slices in to brown. Just as
they are ready to turn, if a sweet dish is
liked, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over
the uncooked side, SO that the flavor
will go into the apple while browning.
The old fashioned way was to fry them
in the fat Of salt pork and serve without
sweetening as tart sauce with the
eat. The art Of cooking them is to have
the slices tender and Drowned, but I'M
broken. A deep griddle is best to fry
them on.

FRENCH BLousEs.
. Feature of Many of the Summer Dresses.
The Poppy Waist.


The Poppy Waist.
French blouses are a feature of sum-
mer gowns, whether merely Of boating
Or yachting dresses, or the separate
waists of silk or of gauze, or else the
more conventional walking dresses of
checked wool, when they are usually
completed by little bolero of silk or
MORE. This blouse, explains Harper's
Bazaar, is only the familiar French waist
that is gathered to belt in front and
back, given blouse effect by cutting
the fronts fuller at the throat and long
enough below to allow them to dNoop
an inch or two on the belt. The sides
are kept intact, the under arm seams of
the outer material being sewed up sepa-
rately from those Of the lining, if there
be lining. French modistes permit the
back to droop also, especially on very
slender figures, but dressmallers here
find it moro popular to draw the back
quite straight inside the belt.
A street dress Of checked tan and ecru
wool has this full blouse front fastened
ON the left side and dropping low on a
wide black MORE belt ribbon. The same
blouse droop is given in the back, but
is only a short and scant puff of the
checked wool set above the belt, as the
upper part of the back is covered with a
| little bolero of black MORE. The fronts
Of the small jacket, of course, do not
meet and are ornamented with rolled
revers of the MORE covered with white
guipure. The sleeves are large gigots,
and the skirt has narrow bias folds of
MORE for trimming.
The poppy waist is name for anoth-
er charming manifestation of the
French blouse, waist to wear in the
afternoon or at the theater with any
pretty skirt of light silk, white or black.
1t is a glowing mass of color, and each
sleeve, with it's several doubled ruff1es
around the arm, represents huge poppy.
1t is made of red gauffered gauze in
| lengthwise shirred tucks, three in a
cluster, having puff between, and
droops low on the pointed taffeta belt
in front and back alike. Very light
green gauzes, rose colors and chrysan.
themum yellows also make fowerlike
blouses of this kind. Outing dresses
have the most pronounced of all French
| blouses.
Simpler gowns of pale blue galatea
cotton have a yoke blouse waist, the
front dropping after the French model,
and the entire gown, waist and skirt
trimmed around with stripes of white
pique edged on each side with black
braid.

Shirt Waists.

The comfort and daintiness of white
and colored shirt waists cannot be de-
MED, and since their earliest vogue, aft
er improvements in shape and style,
nearly all women have become converts
to their utility. The new tailor made
waist has a slightly starched shield
front, collar and cuffs, the plain flat
shield ornamented with a fine vine en-
broidery. It comes in pink, cream and
blue linen, in single colors, in chambray
and bingham and in combination of
dainty cotton fabrics, and is to be worn
with and without an outside Jacket.

When Sweeping a Room.

For sweeping room neatly there is
nothing like newspaper aid. Take page
of newspaper or other paper at a time,
wet in hot water and squeeze it until
it ceases to drip. Tear into pieces the
size of ones hand and cast them all
over the carpet. Then sweep, and most
of the dust in the room, if you use your
broom judiciously, will be gathered into
the papers.
After velvet or other heavy pile
carpet is thoroughly swept sponging
with ammonia and water will preserve
its brightness wonderfully.
