Easily Stained Floors.

In these days Of uncarpeted floors, all
the pretty. attractive little apartments
do not have we'll oiled hardwood floors.
But the young housewife who has rent
ed a cunning little fat where the floors
are unstained need not repine. Nothing
is easier than to give them a good col
or. Indeed, the wise housekeeper does
this at least three times year, and
the way she does it is by washing the
floor thoroughly, and then filling all
the cracks with putty and scrapinS
away any spots Of paint, loosening IL
first with little turpentine.
A light hardwood STAIN can be pro-
duced at home by the mixture of one
pint of boiled oil, one plnl OF turpen-
tine, one tablespoonful Of burnt sienna
and two tablespoonfuls of chrome yell
low. This stain is used for pine and
similar woods. To make a darker stain
add one tablespoonful of burnt sienna
and the same amount of burnt umber.
Walnut stain contains two tablespoon
fuls Of burnt umber, three tablespoon
fuls burnt SIENNA two tablespoonfuls of
chrome yellow, one-half tablespoonful
Of lampblack, one pint of turpenline
and one pint OF boiled Gil.
Work the brush always in accord
ancc with the grain of the wood, Thu
room should be closed until the stain is
dry. When dry, rub the floor evenly
with a small strip Of carpet bound
about a brush. When a polish has
been raised, lay on your varnish or
wax. Varnish smoothly and carefully.
Watch the grain of the wood, and let
your brush fall in with it. Any shade
desired can be had by modifying the
original liquid or by increasing its in
tensity.-New York Journal.

something new and more useful, are
the lamp shades of this season. They

woman with deft fingers.
Get any shaped wire shade you
choose. twist all the wires with color
ed or plain tissue paper, and then
stretch plain white tissue paper over
this and put some flowered crepe paper
on. Then outline the top, bottom and
ribs with narrow strips OF black. Plain
red paper, with silver passepartout
lines, is very effective.
BY putting different colors on top of

obtained.

however, is not the only one who has
become alarmed. at the lack of hy-
giene in one of Cupid's favorite meth-

been fully exploited. notably in the

Mr.. Ware. Moreover, we are inforn-
ed that aside from the risk of conta-
gion certain traumatic lessons may be-
also produced by the act of kissings

kiss may constitute harmful nervous
shock. Cases are cited in which aM
enforced kiss produced epilepsy. And
there are other instances of like ma
