Although the modern hat boxes are

dictates that so many different head

useful black hats. Generally the hats
show few yellow roses nesting under

This stylish headdress finds special
favor with those who do not wear coll

he Care of Lamps.

In all homes where lamps are used
and what prettier or more effective
form OF lighting is possible when artis-
tically arranged shades are INDUCED in?
the housewife should without doubt
undertake the care OF them herself.
To get a well lighted lamp the first
thing is a free flow of oil. The wick
therefore should be held in front of a
fire and carefully dried before using.
BY this means IL will thoroughly alb
sorb the oil, and the flow is not inn
peded
Another way is TO soak the wick in
vinegar and then dry ii well. This pre-
vents smoking. Foul wicks should be
washed or boiled in soft water, then
rinsed and thoroughly dried.
Again. the reservoir of the lamp
should always he kept filed. for II the
oil is low the flow is imperfect and the
wick becomes charred. SO soon as the
burners get black and sticky they
should be boiled i'm vinegar TO which
has been added tablespoonful OF salt.
Then they VIII come out nearly as fresh
as new. Lamp chimneys must never be
washed, but rubbed clean with a cloth
damped with alcohol.
