The Girl of Fifteen.

The great thing for a young girl to
know Is that she doesn't know anything.
All which life teaches is to come. She
has heard much talk, read a few books,
looked nut of wondering eyes upon the
great world, but she has not had a
chance to do anything, and until one
actually enters into the activities Of life
one can know nothing of realities.
1t is true that the school girl has been
brought into contact with active young
minds, and with teachers and instruct
ors. She is learning something about
human nature, something about the play
Of forces, good and bad, in the society
she happens to be part Of; but unable
to compare, to judge, to reason closely.
Of necessity she remains ignorant Of the
real, living, working world.
When n girl has the sense to realize
exactly the place she occupies in the so
cial order she is a most happy girl. Con-
tent to be herself, leaving the manage
ment of things to older and wiser per-
sons. looking on and learning as she
goes. joyous, hopeful, helpful and gay
there Is nothing in all nature so beauti-
full and sweet as this kind Of a girl Of Is.

To Make housekeeping Easy.

Before | begin to clean house ! have
plenty of soft water and cloths, to-
gether with prOfuSiOn of soap and COM
mon whiting. First comes the kalsomin-
ing or the whitewashing. To prepare
kalSomine for ceilings. use one-quarter
pound White glue, eight pounds zinc
white. Soak the glue over night in wa
ter, and liqucfy over the fire the next
day. then add more water and the zinc
white Standard dyes of any colors may
be mixed with the kalsomine to give any
shade desired. AS nearly everyone
knows how TO prepare whitewash, we
will pass that over.
After the ceiling has been made fresh
and clean, the woodwork should be
washed thoroughly. Next wash the win
dOws with clear water. rub whiting over
the glass and when dry polish with n
soft cloth.
To disinfect sinks and drains, dissolve
One-quarter pound copperas in one gal
Ion water, pour into the sink and water
drain occasionally, and it will keep them
pure and wholesome.
After the furniture has been cleaned,
a good but simple polish can be made
of two ounces beeswax, half ounce white
on with cloth & small space ut a tiIfs.
and polish with another cloth.
To clean brass kettles. or any articles
of brass, take the peeling of lemon
before it is dry, dip i'll salt and rub
the article with it. Polish instantly with
a dry cloth and it will leave brilliant
surface.
TO make the stoves bright. mix the
stove backing with vinegar, to the CON
sistency of cream, add one-quarter tea
spoon sugar, apply with a brush. and
polish with newspapers. 1t will give 4

Floral Problems
OF the Small City Yard.

In an article with the above title in
Home and Flowers for April, Amelia +.
Botsford tells how the very best can be
made of the small city yard:
Most persons of small means who live
in large cities consider themselves fortu-
nate if they have any yard at all. The
average amount of ground at the COM
mand of the flower lover in these CON
geSted centers is but a pocket handker-
chief garden'-a narrow back yard shut
in by high board fence. In these cir
cumstances a set of problems not usually
treated in books and papers devoted to
Horticulture win be presented, and some
suggestions intended to help in making
the most of such restricted areas may
be welcome.
1.-The simplest way to treat the space
is to cover the fence with vines and make
of the yard it enclOses as fine a bit of
velvet sward as possible. With vines
and grass in perfection it will at least
make a fresh spot of greenery TO relieve
the eye amid SO much brick and mortar.
If the grass in the yard needs renewing.
have it resodded by someone who will
furnish good sod, or. at less expense, the
yard may be spaded up and sowed. In
this case. take care that the grass seed
is bough from some established seeds
man, for nothing can be much more eXas-
perating than to fiu9 shat one has yard
planted with plantain and dandelion
THE selection of vines is an important
matter If there is Il porch across the
rear of the house suitable vines should
be planted to cover it. If there is no
porch. an arch of wire netting or a sim
pie framework of lath can lie made over
the back door. While it is better Ia set
out perennial vines which will increase
in beauty from year to year, in order 10
obtain immediate effort ANIMALS will be
required the first season For the per
manent vines, the honeysuckles, especial
~ Halls Japanese honeysuckle and that
comparatively new clematis. Clematis
paniculata, are among the best This
clematis is a late bloomer. In Septem-
Der it is literally covered with its wealth
of fragrant flowers, and seems to have
been overtaken with floral snow storm.
Halls honeysuckle is evergreen, the flow
ers are white, changing to buff, and
very sweet. If there is space for two
vines by the porch, it is advisable to set
out some whose seasons of bl0ssOming do
not coincide. and thus prolong the floral
display-thus. the spring Towering hon
eysuckle with the midsummer trumpet
creeper, or the early wistaria as a COM
panion to the late blooming clematis or
the bittersweet."
