When fortune smiles one dny and
froWnS the next, many woman who
has been tendcrly and hlXuriously
reared finds herself forced to care for
herself in the most undrcamed Of and
practical way. If she be to the man
ner born she goes bravely to work
and keeps her heart sunny and true.
SO that her face may reflect happy
qualities. She is too sensible to pine
and fret for what is lost, but turns to
the brightness that CLEANS every now
and then across her present pathway
and makes the most of it until she has
no time for useless regretting. You
can trust this kind of woman in every
thing. She will do for any emergency
and has genuine strength and stlbli-

The Servant Problem.

The increasing frequency of adver-
tisements in New York papers calling
for "nen to do general housework"
draws attention to the fact that many
families are displacing women wher-
ever possible in housework and giving
the jobs to men, writes New York
correspondent. There is {, certain class
of Frenchmen, Italians and Germans
who take readily to housework, and
they have been found to be very salts
factory. Households which maintain
only a limited number of servants have
found the plan to work admirably. In
addition to other duties the men cheer
fully wash the windows, polish the
metals, clean the walks, 60 on errands
at night and do a hundred other little
things which women find awkward and
often impossible. Japanese boys are
very popular.

CLOSET DoOR0
they May BE Made an Important
Feature In Home Decoration.

Closet doors now form a feature in
home decora ton. For harmonizing
effect a curtain can be hung in any
room where there Is closet, with a
rich velours, jute, a pretty cretonne
or a shade Of blue denim. These hang
ings should match the color scheme or,
If desired, a complementary tint can be
utilized for the purpose. Draperies Of
this sort should run easily and be
poled in ash, walnut, mahogany or the
white painted wood ornamented with
gilt.
A pretty idea for closet in a break

kept is to take off the door and hang

CIennin; a Sheepskin Rug.

Here is an easy and effective way to
clean a sheepskin rug: First shake and
beat the rug free from dust and mend
any broken or ripped places. Choose a
mild, drying day. Tack the rug, wool
side out, securely on the side Of bar
rel. Dissolve a package of washing
powder in a pail of warm water and
with a stiff scrubbing brush go over
the rug thoroughly. After this pour
on three or four pailfuls of warm wa
ter, using thc brush till the wool is
thoroughly rinsed. BY using a clean
currycomb on the wool while drying
it is made fluffy. Keep the skin side
dry. That is why the barrel is used,
its convex surface shedding the water.
