very popular, too. Perhaps we may go
back to the coral combs of our ancestors.
At all events those lucky women who
possess the coral trinkets of their grand
mothers day, had better resurrect them
and be thankful. Coral is not excess
slvely cheap at any time, especially
when it is fashionable, and the labor ex-
pended upon it nowadays will hardly
be as minute and careful as 1t used to be.
So it will be far better to hunt out the
laid-by necklets and strings of tiny red
beads than to purchase new ones-at
least it will be for those fortunates who
are able to do this.

HARD WOOD FLOORS
The Best Method Of Keeping Them
BRIGHTLY Polished

The too frequent washing of floors Of
living or sleeping rooms is not to be COM
mended, says an authority on the sub
ject in the Philadelphia Record, the re-
sultant dampness being very potent
source Of evil. Once: a week is quite
often enough for this operation, and
after 1t the rugs should never be re-
placed until the floor is thoroughly dry.
Warm water and soap, with the addi-
tion of a little household ammonia, is
the best cleaning medium for any and
every kind of board floor, but a painted,
Vanished or oiled surface must never
be treated with a scrubbing brush or un-
slightly scratches will be the result.
Grease spots may be removed with an
application of fuller's earth, while ink
spots will yield readily to a rubbing
with spirits Of salt.
A stained floor will require restain-
ing once every year to keep it in good
condition, and this should be done after
the room has been thoroughly cleaned
from top to bottom, and the floor itself
: we'll washed and dried. The stain and
varnish, which can be bought already
for use at any paint store, may be ap-
piled either separately or together.
The former method is the more lasting,
as the stain must be allowed to dry
perfectly before the varnish is applied
thus insuring a double coating over the
entire surface. But the quicker pro-
cess Is that of mixing the stain and var
nish together and applying them at the
same time.
In treating an oiled floor the oil should
be applied in small quantities and rub
bed In with piece of soft flannel un-
til it has quite disappeared; otherwise
the floor will catch and retain every par
ticle of flying dust and will actually look
worse than If 1t had not been treated at
all.
An excellent floor polish, that is of
Japanese origin and very fine, too, for
furniture, consists Of one pint each Of
linseed oil, and cold, strong tea, the white
of two eggs and two ounces of spirits of
salts; these several ingredients to be
mixed thoroughly together and poured
into bottle, which should be we'll sha-
ken before the polish is used.
A few drops are poured upon a rubbing
pad OF soft silk and the wood rubbed
with it, being afterward polished with
anGold silk handkerchief. The process
is tedious and fatiguing one for the
cleaner, but its effect surpasses that of
any easier and quicker method.

A Kitchen Mat

Has it ever occurred to you that the
bare edges Of the kitchen fioor-beyond
the carpet-make the feet very tired
Especially since these bare spots gen
orally come in front of the sink, the ta-
BILE, or the range, where the cook stands
most and longest. Linoleum is almost as
hard as the bare floor, and so is oilcloth,
but wise woman of our acquaintance
urges the use Of paper mats.
Lay several old newspapers together
between two thicknesses of brown paper.
Stitch them along the two edges-this
may be done on the machine-and YOU
will have an excellent mat, one Of whose
crowning virtues will be it's capability
of swift destruction when soiled or worn
