Cleaning Rugs and Carpets.

We have reached the season when
every housewife feels an unconquerable
desire to clean house, and every house
hold possesses its quota OF Well-worn
carpets or rugs, whether they be still in
use and bugbear to the tidy housewife,
or stored away in some convenient attic
or lumber room. HOuSekeeperS who live
in the city and have the means to en-
ploy professional cleaner, are relieved
or all responsibility of carpet cleaning.
BY speaking in season the largest floor
coverings can be raised carried away.
cleaned, returned and relaid within the
space or tWenty-fOur hours. Those who
nave not this advantage, however, must
have the work done at home the best
way they can. Few Of US can afford to
throw aside our carpets when they have
become faded and worn, and we are apt
TO md them in this condition after
winter OF hard usage. Several years may
be added to the use of a carpet by chang
ing the breadths from the center to the
sides, allowing the sides to come to the
center where there is more wear. When
the breadths are worn through the CEN
ter, cut them apart and sew the ends
together in the form of a. centerpiece and
paint the edges of the floor. This is a
much healthier way to cover the floor
anyway, as the furniture can be remov-
ed from the sides of the room and the
floor wiped clean underneath 1t is the
corners and edges that retain most of
the dust that collects in a ROOM and we
are told that it IS accumulated dust that
holds the dreaded microbe that We hear
so much about nowadays. Bare floors
are much more easily kept clean than
carpeted, but carpets are to be found in
most Of our living rooms, and as these
are more used than any other, the car
pet often needs a thorough cleaning. A
carpet that is not worn or soiled enough
to be taken up, may be freshened by wip-
Ing with a soft cloth dipped in ammonia
water; but nothing will answer for a car
pet that is much soiled but a good wash
ing. It should be taken UP and have a
thorough shaking. and beating on the
wrong side until free of dust; then tack
it to a clean floor. Remove the grease
spots with gasoline, then make a suds by
stirring a tablespoonful of pearlne into
each pailful of warm water and scrub
one width at a time with a stiff brush;
then rinse with warm water and change
the water till it is no longer dark Use
soft absorbent cloths to wipe as dry as
possible and raise the windows to allow
a good draught to dry it off. Rugs may
be cleaned with some of the same suds.
by lacking them to clean floor with the
tacks about foot apart, then give them
a good scrubbing with the warm suds.
A rug cleaned in this way will not shrink
and will look fresh and bright The suds
Is also excellent for cleaning sheepskin
rugs, only they must be tackled to stout
barrel instead of the floor, so the water
can run off and not penetrate to the
skin, which will harden and be ruined IL
allowed to get too wet. "A. M. H.

DRESSES OF THE LONG AGO

CATIONS COLLECTION IN THU
NATIONAL MUSEUM
THE STYLES BEING REVIVED
A Reception Robe That Was Worn
by Lord Fairfax Among
the Number Of
Articles.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-(Speclal.) -
As dress is one of the most important
factors of woman's possessions it would
be we'll worth their while to take a peep
at the collection of things feminine which
has been loaned by the ladies of the
Colonial Danes Association of the Dis
trict Of Columbia to the National mu-
scum.
The styles of these costumes are being
somewhat revived today, and it is In
teresting to study them. In one Of the
cases devoted to this display is a dress of
green and white striped satin, with pink
roses embroidered in it. 1t would be
difficult matter TO describe it accurately,
so all that can be said is that it is made
in very elaborate style which some
modistes predict Will be very popular In
the near future
On chair which no doubt belonged to
some Of or colonial ancestors Is an all
over lace gown very much like these
princess dresses which are so much
worn now, with the exception that the
fastenings are in front. Another dress is
OF white satin made empire style, and
may have served as an evening dress,
being cut low in the neck, with just a
band Of satin across the shoulder. A
large white satin poke bonnet, trimmed
with handsome plumes, and the fine lace
shawl or scarf. which is folded up care
fully and placed near, doubtless COM
plete this costume. The bonnet espe-
cialiy resembles the one which was worn
by Julia Marlowe in Barbara. Frfet-

r1chNblack satin, which is said to have
been worn by some distinguished colonial
Dame in Pennsylvania, and differs from
the others In that 1T is almost simplicity
Itself. None of those trimmings which
seem so necessary to dress now are seen
In this plain, full skirt, with it's short
train, and waist that fitted the wearer
IN all probability, as though she had
been moulded into It. The only part of
this outfit which tends towards elabo-
rateness is the large pink poke with its
bright pink roses and green foliage, and
the long ribbons for tying This lends
color to the otherwise somber costume.
Among this collection is seen something
which, while it appears to be an article
OF feminine apparel, really was the prop
erty Of Lord Fairfax, and was worn by
him as a reception robe This looks like
the robes which are worn by the Japan
csc and Is similar in that it is embroi-
dered in gold. The material is very
heavy, rich, green silk. and must have
been very costly in its day. If one could
take the time to examine all the inter
esting things Of this kind, and, in fact,
any of the many things which are con-
stantly claiming the attention of visitors,
1t would occupy more than a day in each
room in order to get a thorough knowl-
edge of what they contain.
