Yellow Piano Keys

Many people who keep their pianos
carefully closed find that the keys be-
come yellow. Because dust is injuri-
GUS to a piano, it is a common belief
that the piano should be closed when
not in use. This is a mistake. The
majority of pianos made today are con-
structed so that dust cannot easily
penetrate them even when they are
open. Keys turn yellow from lack of
light, and n piano should be open the
larger part OF the time.
There is nothing like strong sunshine
for bleaching yellow plano keys. Rub
the keys with powdered pumice stone
moistened with water and then draw
the piano up before a sunny window
while the keys are still moist. The
woodwork of the piano should be care
fully covered. This bleaching is slow
process and may need to be repeated
several times before the keys assume
their original color.
Some housekeepers have bleached the
KEYS of their pianos to a beautiful white
by simply letting strong sunshine rest
fully on them hour after hour and day
after day.

Just About Shoes

A shoe that keeps the foot always
in good condition is first OF all COM
Portable. The walking shoe should be
heavy-soled; it should be an extern
sion sole, so as to give a good base
and prevent the foot rom being turn
ed by Irregularities in the roadway.
The toe of the walking shoe should be
sufficiently broad to leave the toes Of
the foot absolutely uncramped. Any
contraction of the leather which binds
the toes, even a little. must produce.
not only discomfort, but in the end dis
ease. The broadly rounded toe is. there
fore, important.
The heel should be broad, and not
over one inch high. Rubber is applied
to the bottom Of the heel, to the inside
Of the heel. and, in the form of a pad,
placed inside the shoe. The principle in
each Of these is excellent. No one
should walk on a solid heel.
The instep should be laced with di-
agonal lacing, instead of straight
across. or in such a way as to permit
the upper to fit itself to the shape OF
the foot freely.
The lining Of the shoe plays an inn
portant part. 1t must be carefully put
in and it must not wear out sooner than
the upper of the shoe.
The upper OF the shoe should be
formed upon a last which represents
the position Of the foot when nat on
the floor not the position Of a foot
when held in the air.

Dress tor Photograph

The sort of clothing worn by a per-
son when posing for a photograph has
a great deal TO do with the success or
failure OF the photograph in securing a
good picture declares a well-known
photographer.
Take a waist Of silk with a glisten-
ing or polished surface such a gar
ment cannot be made to take we'll in a
photograph and will give a peculiar
effect to it that nine out of ten wo-
men viii not like; yet. when the fact
is pointed out to them. they may refuse
to believe It. Another thing that does
not lend itself well to Photographic
purposes when made up into garments
Is goods of a positive pattern, such as
large plaids, wide stripes and so forth"
Goods that win, fall into soft and
graceful folds is the best for dress to
be photographed IN, for the artistic pos
sibilities in its arrangement are well
nigh limitless. Sharp. harsh lines at
the neck and wrist are bad as we'll.
Did you ever notice that when a wo-
man wears some soft chiffon or some-
thing of that sort about her neck the
photograph is always more pleasing
than when she wears a stiff collar or
stock.
SHARP contrasts I'm pronounced colors
ought also to be strictly pronounced
icolors ought also to be strictly avoided,
and jet or other glistening or glittering

Use of Benzoin

Daily journeys on the cars and
through city streets mn every pore with
particles of dust and smoky Crime
which clogs and .poisons the skin. pro-
ducing facial blemishes. Women thus
exposed should bestow considerable
time on careful bathing to preserve the
skin soft and fair. Pure soap and
water are the best friends Of beauty
and must always be lavishly employ
ed before any beautiner is applied.
The indiscrimlnate dabblng on OF
creams and especially OF estringent To-
tions is worse than useless, unless they
are applied intelligently.
Patience is required to cleanse the
skin of blackheads and during the pro-
cess benzoin should not be used except
as directed; e closes the pores. while
# is necessary to open them. The treat
ment should be given just before retir-
ing and the skin must first be softened
by a thorough scrubbing with warm,
soapy water; a cloth dipped in hot
water should then be held on the face.
This is quite as eficacious to cleanse
the pores as steaming To obviate any
soreness after treatment and to give
tone to the skin. rinse with cool water

CHILDREN OF THE FARMS.

Educate Them as Farmers; Not
Few OF Them, hut "A Lot OF Them.
A good deal has been written and
said lately about rural education, but
perhaps nothing more calculated TO
startle the people most concerned IN
this subject into independent thinking
than the opinions expressed by Pro
fessor Eugene Davenport at the dedica-
ton OF the first consolidated school in
Livingston county. H.. at Seward.
Among other remarks, Professor Dav-
export is credited with the following:
"The damage don5 TO homes, 10 indi-
viduals. to agriculture. to American
country life, TO the community IN gen
eral. by the internal practice OF NOV
ing TO town to educate the children can
never be assessed at full value say
the internal practice. because. while
the purpose has been good (and what
will man not suffer for his children p,
yet the consequences have been mostly
evil. The home has been broken up,
business suspended. false ideas OF city
life engendered, idleness encouraged
and the product, when II is turned cut
is too often disappointing It cannot
be otherwise. A family transported to
the village or the city for such a rea-
son represents neither city life nor
country life, and the young people
grow up in sympathy with neither and
In ignorance OF both.
Tho Consolidated Country school.
The consolidated country school is
the only plan proposed that viii keep
intact the country home, educate the
child within the environment IN which
he is growing up and make him the In
tellectual equal Of his city cousin.
Agriculture is no calling now for
the grossly lncompetent or the hope
lessly ignorant. 1t will never be bet
ter suited to the man Of low capacity
than It is today. On the contrary. il
VIII constantly demand more Of him,
and public policy will encourage that
demand.
Accordingly our people must be ed

uals and American citizens. but edu-
Gated as farmers; not a few Of them
but a lot Of them; not here and there

The materials OF which this seasons

there is little likelihood Of monotony, and

greens and American beauty red, says the
De.ineator. The last color is very popu-
lar abroad. but 1 am a little doubtful
about its success over here. Our summer
suns are torrid. and burned skin does not
show to advantage against this glowing
rose color. On the other hand, am sure
we shall see many gowns in the lovely
leaf green shades that were so largely
used in Paris last year, particularly in
linen and In pongee. I should advise maxi
ing up these leaf green gowns with great
simplicity, trusting 10 the color alone to
supply the touch Of smartness.

Should Wives Work?

DR.. Simon n. Patten, Professor Of
Political Economy in the University of
Pennsylvania, believes that the wife
should be a wage producer as well as
her husband. He holds this view not
as a theory. but as a basic principle of
economy. But in its application he
would limit it to the middle classes.
1.-The whole social problem would be
solved said Dr. Patten. in discussing
the economic position of the home in
society. were the wife 10 become an
income producer OF course, refer to
the young married couples of the mid
die classes, where each before marriage
was earning SO or S12 a week. / be-
lieve that each should continue a wage
Garner until the husbands income in
.creases to such point, say $50, when
the wife can add more to the utility Of
his money by Withdrawing from the
wage producing class.
LAS the income of the man increases
from $40 to $40 a week. that of his wife
remains stationary at SO or sl2; and
then by giving herself up to the home
they both can get better and more
pleasure out of the husbands income.
The pressure on the wife is ever to
withdraw from the wage-earners, and
she reaches the limit of her utility as
a product Of the combined income when
the husbands wage or salary has in
creased sufficient to give them both the
proper money return.
"The social pressure on the woman is
to force her from the employed classes.
But from my point of view 1 see no
objection to the wife of the middle
class working as long as her income
is needed by the family"
