HOW TO CLEAN FINE RUGS.
Nay Be Done with Little Labor In
. Thorough and satisfac-
tory Manner.

No matter what the size or quality
OF q rug it is serious mistake to
shake it by the end or to heat 1t free
from dust. The force required to
grasp it securely, and the sharp snap
and jerks are simply ruinous to the
binding and fringe; furthermore. in .
short time the edge will be torn from
the warp. especially at the corners and
the places where it is grasped in the
hands. running the appearance Of the
rug as we'll as shortening Its period Of
usefulness, says the Indianapolis Jour
nal. A thrifty housekeeper who prides
herself on knowing how to keep her
rugs fresh for years never shakes them,
but keeps them clean by spreading
out on a porch floor and sweeping them
thoroughly on botA sides with a soft
broom. Then she goes over them sew
eral times with carpet sweeper, which
is kept free from dust by emptyins
the dust trap frequently. Any rugs
which have seen hard wear and are
very dusty are hung on q line and
lightly beaten with q small whip On

for possible breaks, and every loose
corner, no matter how small, is prompt

use soap that is coarse and rank; If
soap must be used, select q refined
sort.

NOTES FOR NEEDLEWoMEN.
Calmly Bits OF WEEK. That Can Be

SeamstresS.

A pointer for eleve. home fingers u
that a girdle cut with the center back on
q bias fold of the material fits closely to
the figure at the .waistline and is straight
in the center front. si
Quaint little pincushions, suggesting
the times of La Pompadeur, are in the
shape OF hearts mounted upon a gold
heart-shaped frame, having three little
gilt legs, resembling those of the bu-
reau boxes Of the same period. The
cushion portion is formed of shadow silk
or bit of old brocade.
Very pretty homemade shades for
electric lights are made of red, yellow
or rich purple crepe paper. This is cut
into long tulip-petaled pieces and sewed
on wire so that they overlap as do those
in the flower. However, they hang in
stead of standing upright. If one has
skill with the brush the paper can be
tinted to carry out still further the tulip
idea, though it comes out handsomely in
he plain colors also.
Lengths of china or brocade silks are
not to be despised, for they make excel
lent petticoats in light colors for evening
and In darker tones for day wear. Sew
eral lengths of brocade can form one pet
icoat. The top can be of one remnant.
the flounce of another and the lining Of
the founce third. It is impossible to
undervalue the Importance of the full
rufled petticoat now that SO many
gowns are made with the skirts unlined.
A very pretty stock and fichu OF NOUS
seine de sole was noted the other day.
Softly plated mousseline formed the
stock, and it was bound top and bottom
with narrow gold braid. Hanging down
from it were pendants of crushed NOUS
seline passed through medallions of
cream lace. There were three or four Of
these medallions at regular intervals ON
each strand, and they hung perfectly
level, giving an effect that was both odd
and dainty.
This Is gala season for the girl who
knows how to crochet or put on ap-
pliQue. She can make herself no end OF
smart adOrnments at q nominal outlay,
II she chooses to WELD the crochet
needle at odd times. Little bolero jack
cts Sleeveless 30 as to keep up the true
Spanish ideal, are comparatively easy
to come by in this way and are one Of
the most fashionable Of garnitures.
Books containing stitches and instruc-
lions are offered for sale and, falling in
these, she has but to study the "tidies"
and even the macrams scarfs made BY
some ancestress j
The girl who il really apt with her
needle may in short while make the
dAintiest and most original sailor collar
out Of ordinary pocket handkerchiefs of
rather large size, and possessing m eff
fective border of dotted design. Two
handkerchiefs are required to make this
style Of collar--the back and one tie end
cut from one handkerchief, the two re-
vers and the other side of the tie the
other. It ties In frcnt in sailors loop
or knot. This style Of collar is particu-
larly suitable to wear with white linen
shirt-waist suits, or perfectly plain with
summer dresses.

A PICTURE HAT.

Or, none of us can afford to give up
the becomingness of the black hat.
There are 50 many days when we feel
we can put on no hat but black one:
Of course, it must be light or re shall
look and feel hot.

pie black parasol; this gives a decisive
note which is often lacking In q crowd
Of gay summer toilettes.
A few smart folks over here are
wearing red shoes with morning frocks
Of linen and serges Of the same color.
Very elegant are the soft suede shoes
in pale gray, tan and mouse color. Pale

an apple green frock, while pale blue
kid Is used with pastel cloth gowns.

by the really chic mondaine are most
attractive; attention to detail is always

l an going to write chiefly Of the ac-
cesscTies and details of dress, not that
I am particularly fond, where Access
cries are concerned, Of following any
particular mode; but would point out
that. while there are many charming
accessories this season there are also
many pitfalls for the unwary.
The cult Of the veil has been an in
teresting one, and when suited to the
individuality of the wearer, the veil
falling on to the hair at the back was
= charming mode, but alas! it is one
which has been adopted by women who
should keep only to the most severe
styles. Short, stout women should not
In any way widen the effect of their
toilettes. especially about the, head
And very few women, might add,
look well in the colored veil. The
craze for the colored veil is almost as
disastrous as was the craze for. the
tulle bow some years ago.
It is not in the least necessary to
wear colored veil or q cheap lace
Achu, and there is no excuse for the
woman who wastes part of her limited
dress allowance upon such atrocities
She had far better put the bulk of her
expenditure into a neat coat and skirt
and some tidy blouses made with .
high neckband. I must say that the
high color is one of the most welcome
accessories Of dress this season.
There are all sorts of dainty trifles
to be picked up at the shops: the only
thing to avoid is getting very cheap
things, which soon become common. A
simply accessory, such as a waistband,
turnover collar, a neat stock, or IN
attractive and well-made jabot, Is
worthy of purchase, and will be useful
on many different occasions. :.
Some Of the new, shaped Wristbands
are charming, and very inexpensive.
But do not imagine that the cheap imi-
tation of good belt will look as well
as the original. II your dress allow

make it do, but 1t is generally wiser. II
you cannot afford the genuine thing. to
get different kind altogether. Above
all, avoid faneiful Wristbands. unless
you can give good price for them.
Very few people possess such wall
shaped waists that they may b ex-
cused fer calling attention to them. At
the same time, Wristbands n general
are well-cut to-day, and have certain
charms Of their own: but do not collect
