GOWNS OF STOUT WOMEN.

Don't wear wide belts.
Don't wear a tight fitting coat
Don't trim a skirt except at the
bottom.
Don't wear sleeve that is full be-
low the elbow.
Don't use frills of any kind on a
gown if you are stout. Use fiat trim
mings.
Don't wear bow ties. Wear some
thing small and narrow if ties is
required.
Don't wear fluffy things around the
neck Let the neck finishing be as
fiat as possible
Don't wear an Elton coat. Always
have the coat line extend as far be-
low the waist line as possible.
The stout woman who dresses to
her figure. rather than to fashionable
models, is always more charmingly
gowned than she who wears what is
fashionable in itself rather than what
is suitable

PROPER CARE OF LINoLEUM.

A household economic authority
says: 'In caring for linoleum do not
use soapsuds, as for scrubbing a floor.
1t stands to reason that soap is going
to injure the varnish and the finish.
On farm where there is plenty of
milk, cloth wrung out of skinned
milk is the best means of taking up
the dust and frightening the linoleum.
Where milk is scarce, or needed for
food, use lukewarm water, to which
has been added half a cupful of kero-
sense oil or some good furniture polish
Wiring the cloth rather dry from this
and go over the linoleum after sweep
ing, and it will be quite new and
bright and the finish uninjured. Most
housewives scrub oilcloth and linol-
cum as though it were a bare flor;
it is dusty rather than dirty, since
everything remains on the top, and
for this reason a clean cloth slightly
damp is all that is necessary.

the skins. Last year the value of
the exported skins slightly exceeded
that of the frozen carcasses, and this

14O tons of skins are sold in Sydney,
and about 100 tons in Melbourne,
and the prices have advanced so per
cent since January. The prices now
are from IL pence to IA pence a
pound. The buyers come mostly
from the United Kingdom and Amer
lea, but the hat manufacturers of
Sydney and Melbourne are large
purchasers. Just now two. million
and half rabbit skins. representing
an approximate value of 100000,
are weekly arriving in Sydney.
So profitable indeed, has become
the skin industry that many trap

districts, are devoting their attention
entirely to it. BY retaining the skins
and discarding the carcasses they
avoid the cost and risk of forward
