IVY AWNING SCREENS.

fashioned three-legged iron crane pot.
Another resourceful- housekeeper
who has had large experience with
house plants found last winter that
English ivy would grow gratefully if
allowed a vase of fresh water every
day in which to keep its green toes
moist. With the coming of spring she
dared not plant her ivy out of doors,
knowing it could not withstand the
whitening heat of our climate. &C
cordingly she bought two green boxes,
made of small green tiles, filed them
with rich earth and a larger portion
of sand, and, taking two NvellgrCwn ivy
sprays from the water, she planted
them on either side of her plain hearth.
Two more sprays she put in boxes and
put them on. either end of The black
marble manteI shelf.
The ivy has already grown up and
down, and promises to throw rich
green veil over TIE whole firep ace,

The florists. who are always quick
to accept good ideas, have come to a
realization of the fact that something
is needed for fireplace decoration in
summer. Accordingly the fireplace

tendrils CT iron form series of brack-

tile pots fit. In the pots all manner of
trailing green things are rooted, and

THE GIRL WE ADMIRE.
She Has IA Sunny Disposition and the
Gift of Smiling Away the
Troubles of Life

The most lovable girls in the world
are those with a sunny disposition. a
few people like the quiet, thoughtful
girl; others like the girl who is per-
petually vivacious and bubbling over
with spirits. But every one likes the
girl with the cheerful, sunny DISPOSE
ton. Girls of this character are never
eNtravag antly boisterous or dismally
quiet; they have a pleasant smile for
every one. They never seem troubled
or worried, their voice is low and
musical, and their smile-be they pref
ty or nOt-is always sweet.
The only trouble that the sunny
tempered girl has is the outcome of her
popularity. Every one wants to talk
to her, and be in her company. Young
men are attracted to her without eff
fort on her part, for her character
shows itself so plainly in her actions
that young men are so delighted at
the cheeriness and sympathy of her
nature that they are drawn to her at
once.
For every reason, then, the girl with
the sunny disposition, who smiles away
the troubles of life, is a favorite. And,
what is more, old people are just as
charmed by her as are those of about
her own age.-N. Y. Weekly.

OF a number of excellent plans fol

just as attractive as one in window.
One woman, whose cottage drawing

Toned square brick fireplace, in which
the antique crane still swings, and
above which the narrow mantel shell
is set very high, resOrted to very sim

filed with earth, and planted with
green things that love the shade, and
stringing them along the crane, she
effectively screened the smoke-black-
ened cavern where the flames had
leaped all winter.
Many of her friends have since had
polished steel cranes fixed in their
modern fireplaces, and on these they
have hung brass kettles and bowls, and

One woman has dyspepsia, another

These women would be very much sur

Each one of these troubles and a great
many more are simply catarrh-that is,

SCIENCE OF BUSTING.
How TO Keep Pictures and Wood
work Perfectly Clean, Without
Injuring Them.

With clean, dry busters wipe down
the sidewalks, faces of pictures
and the woodwork. AS often as
the cloth is full of dust take
it to the window and shake thor
Oughly; when grimy, change it for
fresh one. y feather buster is not
recommended, as it merely fips dust
from one article to another and does
not remove it. Clean off finger marks
and soiled spots on paint and wood
work by using water containing a
little ammonia or bOraX. When there
is a fireplace in the room wash the
hearth; if there is any iron work go
over it with a cloth slightly damp
ened with kerosene. Carefully re-
move the dust sheets, folding them
with the dusty side in and send out
of doors to be shaken and aired be-
fore folding and putting them away
for the next week. Have the windows
washed, also the mirrors, and all gas
globes or shades. Close the win
dows, arrange the draperies; replace
furniture and ornaments, and the
room is done.
Where hall is to be swept, remove
all clothing from the hat rack, carry
out the rugs, pin up and cover all
draperies, put movable furniture into
the nearest rooms after busting each
piece. See that all doors are closed.
Begin at the upper hall, sweep and
take up the dust as each landing is
reached. Use the whisk and - hair
brushes on the stairs; if carpeted,
whisk the dust on the pan at each
step. Follow the same methods in
busting, being especially careful to go
thoroughly over each stair raiI.-N.

Persian Compression Secret.

Persian ladies, who are said to have
compilations whose bloom and velvety
softness are simply wonderful, use no
cream or ointment or their faces. In
stead, they apply, half an hour be-
fore their daily bath, coating of
white of egg. When this has com
pletely dried it is sponged OFF with
tepid water, to which is added little
tincture of benzoin, and then the
skin is sponged over with cold milk.
The white of egg cleanses the skin,
and the treatment described removes
all impurities from the complexion,
leaving it smooth and soft as that of
a child.-N. Y. Weekly.
