cry.
A few days later when Lena had
donned her neat Bingham dress to go
TO the village for the mail her mother
handed her fifteen cents, saying,

Oiled and Painted Floors.

If you have never had your kitchen
floor painted, you cannot realize how
much work it saves. Paint of
any color can be bought al
ready mixed, and is so mex
pensive that we often wonder why
there should be kitchen floor in the
lard that is not painted. Any wo-
man can do the painting and will need
no tools but a good paint brush.
Scrub the floor clean and let it dry,
then give it two coats of paint, allow
ing each coat plenty of time to dry.
A little Japan dryer added to the
paint will hasten the drying, which is
important when one needs to use the
room all the time 1t is usually better
to do the painting in the evening after
the supper dishes are washed, and
leave the doors and windows open. If
not quite dry in the morning, and you
cannot cook the breakfast in some 9th
err room lay boards across where you
walk the most to keep it from being
tracked. If you prefer an oiled floor
to painted one get a gallon of linseed
oil and heat a quart of it until almost
boiling hot, and apply it with an old
paint brush which should be clean, of
course. Two coats are usually need
ed
The care of painted floor is import
ant if you would keep them in the best
condition. Mop the floor once a week,
using suds made by adding a table
spoonful of Pearline to two gallons of
warm, soft water, rinse it with clear
water and wipe it dry. 1t is never ne
cessary to use a scrub brush. and the
water should not be hot. E. j. G.

Lena's School Dress.

Lena's hopes of having new dress
for school wear were rudely diSpelled
one morning by hearing her mother
say to her sister Bessie eve can not
buy a thing for the children's school
clothes this fall. We shall do very
we'll if we manage to get a dress for
each one to wear to church,
Lena stole quietly away to her own
little room and going to the closet took
down a faded green dress that she hu,l
worn to school the previous winter,
Slipping off her work dress she put it
on and tried to fasten it, but alas. il
would not reach around the plump
form. She tilted the mirror on the
bureau so as to get a full length view
Of herself then stepped back and al
the first glance laughed aloud at the
cOmical picture Of a girl of fourteen
with blue eyes, sunny hair curling
in little rings around her damp fore,
head, a pink and white complexion,
which was scarcely marred by the
sprinkling of tiny freckles across her
nose, a small mouth just now drawn
down at the corners, while the lips
prOtruded in dissatisfied pOUt, wear
ing a faded and badly worn green
dress, too small in the waist, too short
at the wrists and the skirt reaching
half way between the knees and shoe
tops. Only for a moment did she see
anything funny about the picture.
then she hastily pulled off the dress,
saying as she did so, 81 never, never
can wear that old dress to school.

will do any better?
Again she went to the closet, and

ham dresses to measure by she was
not called to try on the waist until the
dress was nearly completed. AS she
entered the room she glanced quickly
around, but saw nothing Of the dress,
and Bessie came forward saying:
LENA, you know you have always

curiosity as the other girls. Now, are
you willing to try a test by not seeing
your dress until it is done?"

Lena admitted to herself that she
would have liked to see how the old
things looked. Bessie took dark

waist was put on and fitted, the
sleeves slipped on and pinned to the
arms-eyes, and the skirt put on and
fitted over the hips.
When the handkerchief was removed
Bessie handed Lena her work dress
again and said ''NoW, we shall not
need you again until this afternoon
when you may wear your dress to the

Lena with a little toss Of her head as
she left the room.
When Lena was preparing for her
afternoon walk to the village, she was

the handkerchief laughingly adjusted
over her eyes by Bessie. When the
dress had been put on and fastened,
something was placed on her head
and Bessie led her across the room to
the mirror, then, taking the handker-
chief from her eyes said, "Now, little
sister, you may see your old dress"
Lena looked, then rubbed her eyes
and looked again, while Bessie laugh
