talked of but seldom seen except on ex
tremists. Equally comfortable walking
skirts are possible, cut from an inch to
two inches above the ground.
Now to that important and much
abused article of woman's attire-the
hat! If statistics could be properly Sc
cured am convinced that the proper
ton of women who wear unsuitable
hats tor the occasions on which they are
worn are about ninety mine ont of a
hundred.
SO, of all things let the woman who
wishes to look her best while enjoying
the wonders OF the fair, look to it that
her hat is harmonious part of har-
monious whole.
The enormous sky-scraping structure
overloaded with trimming would rob
the most perfectly gowned woman of all
distinction.
Next to the sky.scraper the so-called
picture hat. which is suitable only for
formal occasions, is to be Stunned for
travelling wear.

these hats are worn with no additional
trimming than a rich velvet band around

Where'er through life your path may lie
Though sun or storm may rule your
sky,
One beacon light, with steadfast glow,
Its radiance DER your path shall throw;
One star shall shine with changeless
light
To guide YOU through the moonless
night;
One human love, whose sheltering arm
Shall seek to shield you from all harm;
One changeless love, no time can
smother
Your one true, North-star friend is
Mother. Selected.

The Cleaning Time.

April and May, according as one is
forchand. are the principal months for
what is known as the spring cleaning
Now there are number of simple but
effectual methods of cleaning furniture,
paint, woodwork, etc, which, If only
morelwidely known and practiced, would
prove boon and blessing to the care
full housewife. not only by saving the ex-
pense incurred by resorting to the pro-
fessional cleaner. but by preventing the
almost wholesale destruction wrought
by injudicious cleaning.
Chinese and Japanese mating may
be much improved by sponging with
strong salt water, but the wet must not
pe allowed to sink through.
A very good polish tor hardwood
floors is made by scraping OF. of bees
wax into about half a teacup of linseed
oil, and gradually dissolve it in turpen-
tine till of the thickness of cream. This
is applied with wooden cloth and at
forwards rubbed up with soft buster.
This mixture is equally good for linoleum
and for stained floors. Should floor
require Restraining, one quart OF cold
drawn linseed OIL well-mixed with VI OF.
of rose pink, and 4 OF. of alkanet root,
will provide very nice stain. 1t should
be left standing by the fire for three or
four days, and will then be ready for
use. Rub it on the floor with large
whitewash brush, leave it to dry; repeat
this process once more, and, when dry,
polish with the mixture just given for
hardwood floors.
Paper hangings demand most careful
treatment. and it is seldom wise to at
tempt more than busting them with
soft cloth. Rubbing with stiff dough is
often suggested, but, unless this is most
skillfully done, the result is streaky
appearance-much worse than gen
eral uniform dirtiness. The dough,
however may be used to remove a grease
spot provided that the paperi is sufficient
ly substantial to ollow of the necessary
rubbing; with thin, poor quality OF
paper it might produce hole.
All paint should be cleaned with lit
tie ammonia in quantity of warm
not hot-water, and finished with
sponge and clean, cold water, never
a cloth. In the case of white paint a
little whitening may be added to the
water.
Gilt frames require the greatest care,
and after a thorough busting with
feather brush, should be merely sPonged
with a very little turpentine, not too
wet. but just moist enough to remove
the dirt and fly marks.
For alabaster, ornaments, etc, make
a paste with quick lime and water; leave
it on for lew days, and then wash of
with warm water and soap.
