Her Kid Glove Pillow.

Every woman, too, acquires sooner or later
a lot of wrinked wrists of every thing, from

she thinks about it at all, what they are
good for.

canvas lining, and then worked them with

charming with the warm autumnal shades
and the soft grays and worries. To judge By

thuughtless wear, it will outlast, any silk or

the chandeliers tightly covered with a thick
blanket, which may be securely fastened
over them.
Light velvet and Moquette carpets are
greatly improved by dry cleaning with
cornmeal. Five or six pounds of the coarse,
yellow variety will not be too much for
good-sized room. Remove as much of the
furniture as possible and have the carpet
wen covered with the dry cornmeal. Let
thls remain on it over night and the next
morning have it swept off with a clean, new
broom. You will be surprised at the dirt
the meal will gather up and the grease it
VIII absorb. Now take some clean meal,
ana with new, stiff scrubbing brush give
the carpet dry scrubbing, after which it
should be swept again. Should there be any
spots left, unless Of ink, they will usually
yield to a little scrubbing soap scraped and
rubbed into the carpet with a small wet
brush. Rinse these spots off by scrubbing
them with the brush dipped into clean warm
water.
Dark carpets should be swept well with
clean broom and plenty of salt. Afterward
scrub them with warm water and soap. Do
not use too much water, not enough to soak
through. Afterward wipe the carpet off
with cloth dipped in hot water with
little good ammonia in it. This will brighten
and bring out the colors.
Kitchen tins may be frightened without
reSorting to the old-time method of securing
with sand. Boil them in strong borax water,
rinse in hot water and dry, and unless they
are very old and have been neglected they
will look like silver. Pots and pans which
have no solder about them may be boiled in
q solution of I've. This cleans them as moth
ing else will do, and removes the accumula-
lions of grease and black crust which un-
tidy cooks occasionally leave in dripping
pans. large, strong skinner should be
used in removing these pots and pans from
the lye, which is very caustic and eats the
skin. AS each article is taken out of the
lye kettle 1t should be dropped into a pan
of hot water to rinse it off, fshed out from
that with the skinner and secured with sand
or securing soap. Lye lessons the luster of
tinware, but this can be in large measure
restored by boiling it again in borax.

they are drying in their nature, they should
be used infrequently and with care, observ-
ing the effect closely, as what agrees with
one may not with another. Light-colored
hair is also frightened by a shampoo made Of
two ounces each of rhubarb stalks and honey
stepped in six ounces Of white wine Let it
stand for "a hours, then strain; put in a
bottle with drop stopper; use as a lotion,
Wetting the entire hair, massaging, wiping
and leaving to dry in.
For brunettes a cup of red wine, having an
egg and a saltspoonful of soda beaten up in
it, Is pronounced an admirable shampoo, the
tannin in the wine, as also the egg, having
tonic effect upon the scalp and the hair fol-
licles.
A most agreeable shampoo for all hair, and
as beneficial as any, is prepared by beating
up an egg in three tablespoonful of warm
water-not hot, that would cook the egg
adding to it a teaspoonful of diluted glycer-
Inc preferably with violet water) and
pinch of chlorate of potash. Besides its
thorough cleansing properties, this shampoo
is tonic in its effect and strengthens the
hair structure The iron and sulphur Of
the yolk are nature foods for it, while the
white, being a mild alkah, mingles con-
genially with the oil from the sebaceous
glands, forming a saponaceous lather.
In all Shampooing, and especially when
the cleansing agent is tonic as well, the
scalp should be thoroughly massaged. This is
done with the tips of the fingers moving
in rotary motion, and pressing the scalp
firmly but gently, so you feel it move under
them. Begin in front over the forehead and
go back to the crown, then forward to the
temples and back and forth till the fingers
of the two hands meet at the nape of the

After a pleasant summers outing free

i'll just as soon as they return to town and
occupy their houses, which have been closed
during the warm months. They throw open
athe windows to admit all the sunshine pos
sible, and think that air and light will make
their homes ''sWeet and fresh" as they ex
press it. They forget that their grand
mothers did not have to take plumbing into
consideration, and it requires more than

an hour. In addition to this washing out or

drains in the yard and cellar treated in a
similar way. Do not trust their use to an

there is no substitute tending to stimulate
the healthful secretions of all the glands.
Indeed, massage may be said to do for the
scalp what physical culture does for the
body; it not only promotes the growth of
the hair through healthful activity OF all
the cellular structure, but prevents the re-
laxing of the muscular layers forming the
scalp and by promoting the circulation
stimulates the secretion and distribution of
coloring pigment.
Massage is also a remedy against that
condition Of the scalp which causes dam
druff, which in itself is not disease only
a mark Of neglect; but which is hazardous to
the health of the scalp and may encourage
annoying disorders. There are certain con-
ditions of the scalp following acute disease,
as typhoid fever, when the hair-growing
structure is so disordered that the hair falls
out in handfuls, and the rubbing Of the
