House Cleaning Programme.

moved cover with paper Cover all
heavy, immovable articles in the same
way. Next sweep the floor. Tie Il
cloth over the end Of broom and wipe
the walls till they fairly shine. Next
whiten the ceiling if it needs it and
wash all windows and woodwork.
A word concerning window washing:
Soap and wash powder leave smear
upon the glass. Use clear, warm wa
ter, to which has been added just two
or three drops Of kerosene, not more
Kerosene is eminently cleansing, yet If
too much of it is used 1t, too, leaves a
smear because of its oily nature. Have
plenty Of clean, soft rags. After the
washing and drying of the windows Is
finished polish with a good sized piece
Of channels leather, which should be in
every household. It can be washed
like a cloth when it becomes soiled

and out.

Renovatins Carpets.

Cleaning heavy carpets is mans
work rather than woman's unless
she be one of these new women who
have developed more muscle and ath-
letic strength than the old time woman
considered 'Iadylike." After the men
have shaken carpet thoroughly they
should hang 1t upon line and beat 1t
with sticks TIL every particle Of dust
is out Of 1t. Thereafter 1t should hang
In the full sunlight for whole day to
get the microbes out OF 1t and life Civ
ing radiant matter into 1t. Kitchen
carpets will be much improved by
hanging In the rain, several rains In
deed, and being allowed to dry upon
the line. -
Woman's work in renovating a car
pet begins after It has been shaken and
beaten and tackled upon the floor again.
Then let the woman take pail Of
warm water into which some liquid
ammonia has been poured in the pro
portion Of teaspoonful Of ammonia
to gallon of water. Let her dip
clean cloth into the ammoniated water,
wiring 1t out well and wash that carpet
all over. This will brighten the carpet
till it looks like new The water should
be changed frequently

thin and fine goods, but there are so
many variations that woman eau 90
about as she pleases and still be in
fashion. Many Of the thin goods have
pulled sleeves coming to the elbow and
finished Off there with lace. The shirt
waist sleeve, with its cuff and few
tucks at the top, is often seen, but the
leg O. mutton, with the lower portion
formed by close tucks to the wrist, is
a great favorite. Another plan is to
have the sleeve narrow to the wrist
and very long, with the super1uous
length gathered along the outside Of
the arm in butterfly style. Collars are
high as ever for those who have ugly
threats, but those who have pretty
necks are forcing the style for gowns
without high bands.

and pressed dr with stitching so close
and neat that it becomes an ornament

rain coats of craVenette, =. while
dressy and handsome, the material is
waterproof. And there is something
about the cravenette that sets it one
peg above covert or cheviot or, in fact,
any other of the materials suitable for
such wear, for the weave Is close and
silky and there are always the two
colors interviewer, but so closely that
it looks all one color until seen near.
Black and white make the gray, while
the other colors are evolved by the adj
mixture Of two threads each different
Dresses are made Of this as we'll as
rain coats, and the material always
gives satisfaction. 1t will wash too.
Tailored suits may also have blouse
waist instead of the coat If preferred.
But some Of the coats are very stylish
and much more dressy than the bloused
effects. For those with too slender
figures the looser shapes are best,
while the woman who has reason to
be proud Of her figure can revel in the
comfort of wearing a fashionable suit
which also shows off well her special
beauty.
Sleeves vary quite as much as skirts
and full suits. The princess shape of
gown is in vogue again and is expected
to have great popularity. Skirts are
made almost circular again for some
tastes, and for others there are skirts
with one to five founces. Silks of all
kinds, but preferably crisp, strong taf-
fetas, are made with bias bands or
founces, while others are laid in plaits
or shirred The wearer's own fancy
governs this.
Very many Of the wash frocks, par
ticularly those Of linen and the rather
thick weaves Of cotton, are laid in
kits from top to bottom, which is a
little better for the laundry. These are
simply hemmed around the bottom.
Blouse waists and wide sailor collars
are almost always seen with these,
sometimes Of the same material with
braid as trimming and again Of heavy
white linen.
Cute little sunbonIets are being
brought forth by the thousand to wear
with these suits. They are most fire.

Pillows may be fastened by corner

Hang upon the line in the yard and

the draperies that are not to be wash

also hang in the sunshine. Then if a
