Furnish the Kitchen Completely.

It is a mistake to lavish money on
drawing-rooms and sacrifice the kitch-
en-. Kitchen utensils are of the first
Importance. The cook cannot do her
work well without proper tools and
proper environment. A kitchen outfit
costs little. New oilcloth for the floor,
table and sink are cheap and add i'm
measureably to the contentment Of the
maid.
An attractive kitchen bespeaks the
good housekeeper. 1t Is easier to con-
vince the servants Of the desirability
of keeping II clean. Neat tin and
wooden boxes with labels are delight
full acquisition to the kitchen closets
and much more pleasant to handle than
leaky paper bags. Colored paper with
pinked edges for the shelves will work
wonders for the general effect, and a
growing plant or two gives an air Of
luxury which surprises those who have
never tried II.

Process Of Leather Making From

The leather man was busy hosting

the door ready to carry the load to the

however, at a question and paused to

Tell you about leather? Well, that's
long story. You see, there are tifty
different kinds of leather if there 10
one, and the processes through which
the hides go between the time they
leave the stock yards and the time when
the shoe man gets them are many and
varied. There are steer hides, calI
SKINS, goat skins and others, which are
prepared each in one certain way.
The green skins come from the great
stock yards in Chicago and Kansas CITY
TO the tannery, which is generally Dullt
on the bank of pure stream and near
woodland. At the tannery the hides are
