The Bath Tub.

Among the crosses many housewives
have to annoy them is bathtub of un-
inviting appearance in a room that
otherwise looks fresh and clean after
the spring renoVating The tarnished
surface may refuse 10 become bright no
matter what cleaning materials are en-
ployed.
By being your own workman you may,
at a trfning expense, make the tub de-
sirable. Procure a small can OF common
paint Of any light color desired, a can
of enamel paint OF the same color, and
a good sized brush Cut eight or ten
inch pieces of yellow soap into bits, and
put 1t over the fire to dissolve in a
couple of quarts Of water. Fill the
bathtub with hot water, and throw In a
generous handful of powdered borax and
comes cool enough TO put the hands
in 1t scrub the surface with a brush,
letting the water run off az the work is
done. Again partly fill the tub with hot
water and scrub 1t with the brush and
sand soap to make sure that all greasy
particles have been removed. Then
rinse 1t in clear not water and thor
oughly dry.
Cover it with two coat;ngs Of the com
mon paint, letting one thoroughly dry
before putting on the second coat Then
give 1t several coats of the ena mel
paint This paint will dry more quickly
than the other. and the bath will no
longer be an unsightly object. Care
must be used not to run hot water into
the bath alone until the paint has hard
ened.

Shoes and Collars.

Are women neater than men? was a
question recently asked by a cynical
masculine who is a stern critic as to
ali that regards a ~oman's get-up. This
was the reply. Women are endowed
with strange vagaries. and, while ex-
tremely fastidious in many ways, are
neglected. in others.
Even the SWEETEST society girl is not
as particular as TO the freshness OF her
collar and cuffs as the plain. every
day man OF business; TO change his lin
en- at least once day is a sort OF re-
ligion with most men With women 1t
is different; they will inspect their col
lars and cuffs after hard days wear
and decide that they will do, not recog-
nizing the fact that If any doubt exists
on the matter they should be consigned
to the laundry without demur.
Again, man Is much more concern
ed as to the state of his shoes than
woman. The woman will gown herself
in Worth's or Paquins latest creation
and forget to look a. her shoes; she Is
willing TO condone the loss of one or
TWO buttons and the consequent baggy
appearance OF her extremities."

LUNCHEON FOR BRIDES
MAIDS
Some Timely Hints for a Dainty and
Informal Affair.

1t is customary, although it is not
necessary, for a prospective bride to
give a little luncheon in honor of her
bridesmaids, the week before the we'd
ding This is generally most informal
The table should be simply decorat ted,
roses and white flowers with maiden
hair ferns making an attractive display
Small heart-shaped boxes may hold
borbons at the places, as souvenirs; or
gay little trunks, tied about with rib
bons and filled with candy. will also be
appropriate, writes Marjorie March in
the June Eousekeeper.
At such a luncheon there should be
merry girlish fun, and tests for the fu-
ture of those present other than the
bride. A cake should be served with the
dessert. containing the traditional ring
and coin and thimble prophetic signs
for those receiving them. Another merry
feature would be to have hot tea poured
by the bride during the dessert course,
the teapot having no strainer. A little
list of meanings of tea leaves in a Gun
can easily be made up beforehand, and
the bride can turn fortune teller In a
unique way.
A ceremony TO indulge in after the
luncheon is to have twelve lighted can
dies placed in row. one for each month
in the year, and the merry maidens jump
over these to see In which :aorth of the
year their wedding will take place by
the candle extinguished
1t is at a bridesmaids feast that a
bride gives her bridesmaids her little
gifts that are to be worn at the we'd
ding. These are generally dainty pins,

The ring should always be answered
as promptly as possible, and the door
opened sufficiently to suggest welcome,
the maid to be plainly visible. and un-
der no circumstances to remain partially
concealed behind the door, with head ap-
pearing from the side or arm thrust out
to receive card. a maid should under
stand that certain amount of care and
civility Is expected of her in this ser
vice, and the mistress should be as ex-
plicit as possible in her instructions,
since it is the one thing that she can
not personally superiDtend
A small tray for receiving cards should
be provided, to be placed conveniently
near the door, so that in passing the
waitress may take it in her hand and
among the folds of her dress. In case
the visitor gives her name instead OF
her caro- care should be taken that the
tray is not visible in order that she
may not feel that she neglected a court
esy expected of her When the guest
is prepared with a card. however, II is
pleasure to find the maid ready to
receive it as soon as presented, without
the delay of reaching for the tray, no
matter how near 1t may be.
If the mistress is engaged or fndfspos-
ed, SO that she cannot receive calls, she
should instruct the maid to that effect
before the door is answered. In showing
a guest out the waitress should open

NATN'CoATs.

Another striking feature of the sea-
sons outer raimcnt is the development
of plain cloth coats for wear with
checked shirt waist suits and accor-
dion-pleated circular skirts. Dark blue
broadcloth coats are worn with clean
looking checks OF dark blue and white,
black cheViot. serge. and broadcloth.
with popular shepherd plaids of black
and white, brown with brown and
white. and hunters green with green
and white
These. plain cloth coats are made In
two styles. either very long and loose
or else extremely short. natty and
tight-fiIting. Boleros with high gir-

with the checks, but the home eress-
maker should regard with suspicion

the amateur On the other hand, the
frfvolously pleated jackets that hang
in long, loose folds with bit Of lace

demand such accurate tailoring
Nearly all the coats~are coiIarless
and are finished with novelty braids
