Tea gowns.

A pretty tea gown is composed Of
black wolfe of a fine make, the front
tucked to correspond with the vatican
plat at the back. It is arranged as an
empire gown with semiftting sides.
The deep shaped hounce and sleeves are
entirely of black satin ribbon and
cream cluny insertions. the lace yoke
displaying a mauve lining finished off
with black satin rosettes. This opens
in Y form at the neck The little silk
tea jacket is in white trimmed with
waved cluny insertions. The fchu col
lar is of finely tucked muslin as well as
the cuffs, and the little chenisette also
displays fine tuckings. There are any
number of tempting Jackets and gowns
in the swell shops. A sack shaped one
was made in French muslin, with trans
parent bell sleeves caught up and tied
at the back of the elbow with wash silk
ribbons, while a delightful breakfast
gown simple and fresh, was made in
white wash silk, with sleeves of the
flowing bell order and an added shaped
frill The deep sailor collar was tied
with a blue knot, while an empire effect
was produced by means of a broad blue
sash tied across the bust, the skirt hav-
ing a shaped frill.

put on the spots and allowed to stay
there for a time. Then if the grease is
not all taken out by the first applica-
ton use fresh whiting. Chalk laid on a
grease spot over which a hot iron is
held is another remedy White flannel

grease.
A solution of soap tree bark in hot
water, used to sponge off carpets after
they have been beaten and tackled
upon the floor, is recommended by
many housekeepers. Ammonia in hot
water sometimes replaces the soap tree

washed, the sponging must be done
carefully. each patch being dried quick

destroy the moths. and as it is not nee
essary to press down upon the carpet
with the iron the pile will not be harm
ed.
Before laying carpets after cleaning
see that the floors are well scrubbed
with a disinfectant and quite dry. The
floor should then be well sprinkled with
an insect powder to keep away the
moths.
When a carpet is to be put down, the
room should be cleared of furniture and
the paper lining stretched over the floor
and tackled in place.
Then take the carpet and nail down
one of the cut ends of a breadth on the
side of the carpet. Always begin to
tack from a corner. When one end is
tackled, stretch one of the seIvage sides
against the wall and nail it in place.
When both selvages are fastened, take
the fourth side of the carpet near the
middle and pull it up until the surface
lies smoothly upon the floor. Then
tack it down.

hosiery should be as carefully looked

to low shoes in summer, with light slip
