Clearing the Porch
At night of its furnishings is no longer
necessary, for most porch furniture of to-
day is made waterproof. and we have this
year the greatest variety This waterproof
furniture is a verltable boon to the house
holder whose enjoyable evenings have been
married by the laborious ending.
Perhaps the most distinctive labor-saying
devices and also the most useful ones are
the waterproof rugs and cushions
Among the latest ideas are screen chairs
They are wide, with broad arms and seat
wide enough for two, with a great back
high and broad enough to absolutely hide
any occupant of the chair. They will
probably enjoy a long maintained popular
lty, because of their practical utility.
An ingenious person can make a porch
swing out of bamboo touches with an ad-
ditional railing at the back and foot, MAX
ing both ends alike, or they can be pur-
chased "a the store.

Dainty Footgear.

TO be we'll and neatly shod is one OF the
first necessities of good dressing. and the
care of footgear brings its own reward In
the way of economy.
For this latter reason, as well as for
comfort always remove your shoes the
moment you get in the house. Walking up
and down stairs ruins a par OF SHOES
quicker than walking miles on the pave
ment.
Slippers are nice for the privacy of one 3
own apartment, but they are bad for the
feet If worn constantly.
Wet weather makes india rubber over
shoes a necessity, though they are bad on
shoes, drawing them out of shape and per-
manently softening the leather.
JJnlacing the ties of the shoes at night
very wide is good. 1t changes the lace and
prevents unshapelness.
With care shoes last twice as long as when
they are roughly treated, and, what Is
more. they will look fresh for a much
longer time.

Rugs
Are preferable to carpets that cover the
entire floor, for they may be taken out of
doors and cleaned once a month or oftener
if the room is in continual use, and the
| room cleaned before they are brought back.
The floors of hardwood stained or var
nished are the most satisfactory, and a
space of eighteen inches more all around
the room is left bare or may be covered
with mating if preferred.
The task of oiling is easy if you have a
hardwood floor in good condition. Many
who have old soft wood floors have had a
floor of hard pine put down on top of it.
The stain that is bought already prepared
is not expensive. In colors, you can get
oak, walnut. maple or mahogany. These
are to be desired above those mixed at
home.
A dark shade does not wear well as
the light or medium tones. 1t is put on

The floors of bedrooms or par!or are
given a fine effect if submitted to a coat of

wax is preferred the preparation may be

A coat of oil preserves wood exposed to

successive days and a coat given every
three months thereafter keeps the wood In

Are often better framed without mat.
The mat often detracts from the beauty OF

Landscapes with a great deal of detail
in them require an exceedingly narrow

wide and plain, and large single heads are

background and bring out the artistic treat

\ good rule is to hang the largest picture
in a group level with the eyes and to
place the smaller ones about it with refer
ence to their subject rather than to their
size The introduction of one or two round
or oval frames into the group relieves the
monotony of the obleng and square frames
and gives grateful sense of diversity In

Shapes and styles of frames must neces-
sarily conform in a gc neral way with the
furniture of the room and coloring must
also be taken into consideration. There
