Yellowstone Townsend is back on
a visit to the city. after an extended
visit through South America and the
West Indies. For the past few days he
has been busy among the horsemen of
the city relating his experiences with
royalty in the south. In the City of
Mexico he narrowly escaped being

The Treatment of Floors.

Perhaps one of the greatest differ.
ences between the old-time house
cleaning and modern housecleaning
lies in the treatment of floors. Rugs
are best when it comes to cleaning.
OF course, the floors must be polished.
If the floors are not Of hardwood, q
coat of paint is the first application;
after that there should be two or
three coats of varnish, then a rubbing
with sandpaper, and after that good
oiling and polishing. The floor is then
in good condition for several months
to come. There are many housekeep-
ers who make practice Of having
the floors rubbed over weekly with
kerosene; but this Is not cleanly, and
the fact that it proves ruinous to any
light gown that trails over it is argu-
ment sufficient against the practice.
Painted or vanished floors may be
kept in good condition by wiping with
a damp cloth and then rubbing with a
dry woolen cloth-this, of course, is
for floors that never become badly
soiled. Kitchen or pantry floors may
be washed with skim milk; if very
dirty, with soap and water. A scrub
bling brush should never be used on
q painted or vanished floor.

The lining fits snugly and smoothly.
and is desirable for all light weight

when heavier materials are used or
for any reason it is not desired. The
front of the waist proper is laid in

each of which is held at the end by
three small buttons. The five pleats
at the back are stitched for their en-

ing is effected by means Of buttons and
buttonholes. The sleeves are in bishop

the novel treatment of the collar.

lines and is correct in every detail.
AS shown the material is fine serge
flannel woven in a pretty fancy plaid,
collars, cuffs and belt being of black
velvet, but plain flannel, corduroy, vel
veteen, striped flannel, cashmere and
all waist and dress materials are suit

pirate for the costume and the odd
waist.
The foundation, or fitted lining, is
snugly fitted and closes at the centre
front. The waist proper is laid in box
pleats that are stitched at their under
folds and extend from the neck and
shoulders, the closing being effected
by means of buttons and buttonholes
worked through the pleat at the centre
front. The two scanned sleeves are in

A Becoming Home Gown.

Comfortable home gowns, that are
tasteful and becoming at the same
time that they can be slipped on with
ease. are essential to every woman's
outfit. The charming May Manton
model shown in the large illustration
fulfills all the requirements and has
the merit of being in the latest style.
The original is made of turquoise blue
challie with black figures, the front
and undersleeves being of plain blue
Sapho satin. The revers Of black vel
vet and the edging fancy galloon, in
which threads of gold are woven, but
many equally satisfactory materials
might be suggested. Cashmere, albat-
ross, princess crepe, nuns yelling and
French flannel are all fashionable,
while soft silk always make a hand
some gown.
The back is fitted with a centre seam,
side-backs and under-arm cores that
curve to the figure and give princess
effect. The full front is tucked to yoke
depth, then falls free, its edges being
attached under the fronts proper,
which are turned back to form revers.
Beneath is a snugly fitted body lining
that extends slightly below the wais-
line. The fancy sleeves are arranged
over fitted Innings and are curved at
the lower edge where they fall oy :
soft puffs. At the front is velvet rib
bon that it attached at the under-arm
seams, brought around to the front
and bowed.

Dust and Disease Germs,

Cleanliness and health go hand in
hand, whether cleanliness and godli-
ness do or not. The way to keep
a kitchen clean is to keep it free from
disease germs-that is, to keep our
food which is cooked in the kitchen
free from unwholesome elements,
which cause it to spoil and to be
unwholesome when eaten.
The clothes we wear should be
brushed free from dust, because the
air is full of impure germs. Those
who work in dirty, dusty factories or
other places like them should have
their clothes beaten every day after
they come home. Grease spots should
be carefully cleaned off working
clothes, because such grease spots
hold dust, and may become culture
places for impurities received from
the air. If proper precautions are
exercised and the house is kept as
clean as it is possible to keep it the
health of the inmates will be good.
There is a great difference between
a thing being scientifically clean and
clean in the ordinary understanding
Of the term. A house filled with the
germs of tuberculosis may be clean to
all appearances, and one which has
just been disinfected scientifically may
have indelible stains of previous wear
and tear on the walls and carpets,
yet one is wholesome dwelling and
the other Is not clean.-New York
