AS far as is possible we should avoid

dress properly before school. Usually
he leaves him till the very last minute,
If he is sleeping, and then hastily
eaten breakfast and hurry and hustle
TO get off is the result. This can only
be obv atcd satisfactorily by nstltuting
earlier hours for going to Led, that the
child may wake early as a natural
thing.

morning. The children are allowed to

Stains on Black Cloth-Can often be
removed by rubbing with a raw pc

Stains on Marble-Can often be re-
moved by rubbing with salt; rinse af-
forwards, and polish with soft cloth.
For Tender Feet.-Mend your stock
lngs with silk, instead of wool, If you
are troubled with tender feet. The silk
does not chafe the skin.
Ironing SEARCHED Things.-If you
want to prevent your fatiron sticking
rub it, after heating and before begin
ming to iron, on board well sprinkled
with bathbrick.
Black and Dark Cloth-Can be fresh
ened by sponging with equal parts of
water and spirits of turpentine. After
sponging iron on the wrong side, and
then hang in the air to remove any
suggestion of turpentine.
Getting Up Lace.--Never rinse white
lace in blue water under the impress
sion that this will improve the color.
Real lace should be finally rinsed in
skim milk, which will give it the soft,
creamy tint so much admired.
Effective Prcssing-Is one of the Sc
crets of good home dressmaking. A
badly pressed thing never looks well.

The True Home.

The truest homes are often in houses
not especially well kept, where the
comfort and happiness of the inmates
rather than extreme tidiness and the
preservation of the furniture, Is first
consulted. The object of the home Is
TO be the center, the pivot on which
the family life turns. The first requi-
site is to make it so attractive that
none of its members shall care to linger
long outside its limits. All legitimate
means should be employed to this end
and no effort spared that can contrib
ute to this purpose. There are many
houses called homes, kept with such
waXy neatness by paihstaking, anxious
women, that are so oppressive in their
anxiety as TO exclude all home feeling
| from their spotless precincts. The very
name of h me is Synonymous with per
sonal freedom and relaxation from
care solid comfort.
But neither of these can be felt
where such Il mania for external clean
illness pe1vades the household as TO rem
der everything subservient thereto.
Many housewives, If they see speck
OH the floor or wall, or bit of thread
or PAPER on the floor, rush at ii as if it
were the seed of pestilcnce, which
must be removed on the instant. Their
temper depends upon their mainten-
ance of perfect purity and order. If
there be any failure on their part or
any combination of circumstances
against them they fall into a pathetic
despair and can hardly be lifted out.
| They do not see that checrfulness is
more needed at home than all the spot
leSSnesS that ever ShOne. Neatness is
one thing and state OF perpetual
house, cleaning quite another
Out of this grows by degrees the
feeling that certain things and apart
ments are too good for daily use. Hence
chairs and sofas are covered and Croms
shut up, save for special occasions,
when they are permitted TO reveal their
violated sacrcdness in a manner that
mars every pretense of hospitality.
| Nothing should be bought which is
| considered too fine for the fullest do
nestle approp iation. Far b t er is the
plainest furniture on which the chill
dren can climb than satin and damask,
which must be viewed with reverence.
When anything is reserved or seclud d.
to disguise the fact is extremely diff
cult. A chilly air wraps it round and
the repulsion of strangeness is expert
enced by the most insensible.
Home is not name, nor a form, nor
a routine. 1t is a spirit, presence, a
principle. Material and method will
