To Wear In the Kitchen.

Too many housewives neglect to pro-
vide themselves with sleeves which
can be quickly slipped over the dress
sleeves when an emergency calls them
TO the kitchen. White cambria Is the
best for these, and the full kind, gath
cred at the top and bottom over rub
Der cord, Is generally most satisfactory.
The best apron for occasional use in
the kitchen is made OF straight lengths
OF bingham sewed together in a piece
wide enough to easily envelOp the fig
ure. The bottom and sides are hemmed.
Openings are cut at the top for the
arms, the two sides being connected
over the shoulder by a double bias
band. The neck, both back and front,
is straight and is gathered into fac
Ing. The distance between the openings
for the arms should be determined by
the width required at the foot OF the
skirt. Three or four buttons and but
tonholes close the back. The beauty Of
these aprons is that while they are
quickly made they protect the gown at
the back as well as at the front and
preYent the waist from being spattered
while beating eggs, batter, cream and
the like.

winterIng the Bees.

We believe that with box that will
so cover the hive as to leave space be
tween the inner and outer boards for
cushions filled with chaff. say two or
three inches thick. we can winter the
bees quite as well on the summer
stands as in the cellar. and II is no
more labor to put on these outer cases
and cushions than it would be to move
the hives in winter and spring, says
American CultivatOr. Nearly every one
acknowledges that the bees will con-
sumo more food in the cellar than
when wlntered out Of doors, and we
think If the cellar is subject to damp
ness, 10 changes Of temperature or is
not always well ventilated there IS
more loss OF bees there than on the
stands. even when a nucleus Of the col
Ony IS saved.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Renting the House

When the summer wanderlngs are
over, the house mother returns to her
home full OF eagerness to brighten the
dull spots and replace shabblness with
freshness. Often new furniture Is need
ed or a rug seems indispensable or
draperies must be renewed, and the abb
solutely right articles must be selected
or the money expended is practically
thrown away as far as beauty Is con-
ccrncd.
The charm Of room depends less on
the cost OF It's furnishings than on their
careful selection and arrangement. A
single piece OF furniture. expensive and
handsome In Itself, may spoil an entire
room by It's appropriateness. The
most beautiful cabinet Of carved Elem
ish oak would be intolerable In the gold
and white daintness Of Marie AntOi-
nette room. while gilt cabinet Of ex-
Quisite workmanship would be cheap
oncd by Introduction into an apartment
furnished in Il massive and solid style.
II Is always wiser unless one has a
specially cultivated taste. ample means
and wide experience ia interior decora-
ton to choose furniture Of simple de-
sign Ornament Is often dangerous. IA
the tendency Is likely to be gaudy and
snowy unless executed by an artist.
\ beautiful room Is one that Is rest
full, conveniently arranged and inter
csting not necessarily one full OF ex-
pcnsive chairs and ornate and frequent
~ unnecessary tables.
