FASHIONS FOR CHILDREN.
Very Attractive Things This Spring
Are offered for the Little Ones
in Materials.

Children's spring clothes are lovely.
They will wear as many checks and
plaids as their elders, black and white
shepherds plaid receiving special ia
vor. For early spring nothing is pref
tier. A touch of bright red in the trim
ming relieves the %somberness of the
black and white, and makes the plaid
more youthful. Mohairs, because OF
their wearing qualities and dust-shed-
ding powers. are highly recommended
for children's gowns. Little girls
gowns are trimmed and embroidered
nearly as deliberately as their mothers
There are one or two points OF differ
ence to be observed. Young girls do not
Wear elbow sleeves. nor are their party
gowns made with low necks. For one
thing a growing girl is usually thin, or
at any rate her figure is uniformed, and
low necks are not becoming. Again,
they are considered to be in bad taste be-
cause too dressy. A half-sleeve might
be permissible on a very dressy occas-
ion, provided long gloves were worn.

WHEN CLEANING CARPETS.
Best Way of Freshening UP the va
rious Floors Coverings from
Parlor to Pantry.

An old-fashioned but very efficient
plan for this was to add three -quarters
Of a pint Of oxgall to a good pailful
Of water, and to rub this well into the
carpet with a soft brush, then rinsing
the lather off thoroughly with clean
water, and wiping it dry with plenty
Of clean cloths. Grease may be re-
moved with a thick paste Of fuller's
earth and water. applied to the spot,
and left for "a hours to dry on, after
which it can be brushed OFF easily. A
little powdered magnesia added to the
fuller's earth is said to improve the
paste. For candle grease nothing IS
better than plotting paper folded dou-
BILE over the place, then lightly ironed
with a hot iron, using a clean piece of
paper each time, as the hot iron dis
solves the grease and the blotting pa
per absorbs it. For ink stains, if,fresh,
wash the stain, s%aturating it well. with
skim milk, wiping this off directly it
discolors, and rubbing it with fresh
milk till the stain disappears, after
which wash with tepid water and rub
well. Chinese and Indian mattings
need little washing if they are regu-
larly busted and wiped over with =
moist, but not wet, cloth. A little
lemon juice or vinegar used with the
water helps to preserve the white color.
Straw mattings may be- cleansed in the
same way (not too often, or they will
turn Yellow with salt ana water.
Cocoanut mating should DE well and
thoroughly scrubbed, and well rinsed
before putting it back again. Limo
