WATER AND SOAP DO WORK.

Clean linoleum floors with lukewarm
water and soap. Don't sweep them.

linoleum covered floors are preferred
by the average housekeeper. for the

rubbing waxed or shellacked boards is

used for this washing, and the soap
should be selected with care, for none

A TOUCH OF REAL
LlFE-M0T ACTING

Speaking before the Professional Wo-
mans League on "Acting-Various
Kinds" John Sherwin Crosby said he
hoped the time would come-and he be-
lieved it would-Nhen acting would be
made a part of the system of public
education.

school board thinks that the theatre

The question whether an actor should
be the part he portrayed or only strive
to paint it was then brought up. Mr.,
Crosby quoted approvingly the remark
of Forrest. when some told him he
played Lear well the night before:
played Lear? I was Lear"
One Of the pleasantest parts of the
address was when. expanding into a
confidential vein, the speaker dilated on
his own theatrical experiences out in
Kansas with dear Gene Field thirty
years ago. II was a married man with

EVOLUTION OF THE
W0MAN'S SWEATER

she was a clever woman who first
adopted the sweater to her own use
More than that. she was a brave wo-
man, for the sweater in its earlier
stages was scarcely to be considered a
becoming garment, particularly as its
shape and general appearance were not
enhanced by being built on the same
pattern as those worn by the men
The evolution OF the woman's sweater
has been gradual, but 1t has been going
on, just the same. until it has shape
and style and beauty as well as COM
fort and warmth.
From the V.ngainly garment that had
10 be slipped on over the head and that
made most girls look like rights by
the time they had struggled through
the heavlly-ribbed collar. the sweater
has developed into a trim, well-fitting
article of clIthing that is gotten into in
respectable way.
1t is made single breasted and dou-
ble-breasted trimmed with fancy but
tons and plain, finished with and with
out belts. has standing collars and no
collars at all, but in any style or color
IL is as useful as it is pretty.

HOW TO KEEP SHOES
WELL GR00MEO

1t is a remarkable fact that many a
woman who is otherwise we'll groomed
wears footgear that is shabby and 40
solutely disgraceful looking. Il al
ways Judge a woman by the appear
ance of her feet" said a man. one Of
those observant persons who is critical
TO a degree. "She may have on her
newest hat and her best tailor-made
froek, her hair may be perfectly ar
ranged and her gloves immaculate, but
if she wears shabby shoes the effect
Of her good clothes is entirely lost SO
far as I am concerned
Another queer thing is that the wo-
men who can least afford to buy new
shoes are the very ones who are care
less about their old ones For the wo-
man in moderate circumstances TO keep
her shoes I'm good condition requires
work, and plenty of II, but on the other
hand. there is no part Of the feminine
wardrobe the care of which so gener-
ously repays the effort.
The life Of a pair OF shoes can be
heightened by the care taken Of them,
or rather, Il is regulated by that care.
Shoes that are treated with any con-
sideration at all will last twice as long
as those that are knocked about any
old way. and will look infinitely nicer
while they are lasting, too.
The first thing to do in making pair
OF shoes wear we'll is TO get another
pair. Rather a roundabout way of say
ing that two pairs will last better than
one. but there Is no question that shoes
that are worn on alternate days, or
possibly twice a week, will last much
longer than IL they have constant
usage The woman, therefore, who buys
two. possibly three. pairs OF shoes at a
time and wears them alternately Is
much more economical in the end than
the one who thinks she can afford but
one pair at a time
The next thing Is to get shoe trees
and to use them, putting the shoes on
them every time they are taken off and
as soon as they are taken off. Not
spasmodically. so that the shoes are
carefully freed one week and left tree
less the next. Trees absorb any damp
ness that may be In the leather. pre-
serve the shape Of the shoe, smooth out
wrinkles and put off the evil day OF
cracks. They may seem bit eXDens-
i've at first, but they are well worth
buying. and once bought they are al
ways useful Fortunately the fashion IN
shoe trees does not change.

an ending Of goffered net, and another

SUNSHINE FOR THE HAIR.

There is no better tonic for the hair
than sunshine. Sit outdoors in the
sunshine on hour every day. Loosen
the hair and let the sun shine on it and
the air blow through 1t. In the sum-
mer days go without a hat as much as
possible. The hair needs to be ventl-
lated TO keep it healthy. Airing and
summing the hair every dav not only
keeps 1t sweet ana clean but is good
for the scalp also. The sun will soon
cure any disease of the scalp and make
it healthy and active, and healthy
scalp makes strong. beautiful hair.
Brushing the hair every day. "a hun
dred strokes" as our grandmothers
used to say, will make it soft and
glossy as silk.

OLD TIME LIMIT STANDS.
Conference Decides Four

to Remain at One Station.

The general conference of the Meth

whelnling majority, the minority re-
port of the committee o nitinerancy
opposing any extension of the time

Of extending the limit frcm four to
six years. The report -'ecipitated

mission to meet similar reports from
other branches Of Methodism looking
to a revision was re-statement OF
the church's creed, Dinsdale T. Young,
the fraternal delegate from Great Brit
ain, attending the conference, is in
cEred to believe that special act OF
parliament will be necessary if such
a step is taken by the Wesleyan
church in England. Mr. Young said:
"My impression is that we cannot
have a genuine re-statement of revis-
ion Of the creed without the consent
Of parliament, owing to John Wesleys
poll deed, the legal foundation OF
Methodism. This certainly applies to
any alteration of the threc-year min
isterial limit without an act Of pariia-
ment, and I think the same rule ap-
to any alteration or revision Of the
doctrine as we'll as the constitution
of the church"
