To Clean Mattinu.

To clean mating it should be FIRST
swept thoroughly with a stiff broom.
following the grain of the straw. then
swept across the grain with a soft
broom that has been dipped in warm
water in which handful Of salt has
been dissolved. Nothing brightens
colored mating so much as the salt
and. moreover. it goes far to prevent
it fading. The light-colored mating
should be washed in water I'm which
boraXhas been dissolved. If any grease
spots are noticed before the mating
is cleansed cover them with a mixture
OF prepared chalk wet with turpentine
which, after being allowed to remain
on for two days, should be removed
with stiff brush In the event OF the
grease having sunk in about one-eighth
of washing soda added TO the mixture
will be effectual. Sweet milk is said
10 keep the mating in a good state OF
preservation and IT is only necessary
to use the application about once a

She Is Evidently Pleasing Herself

It is time somebody exploded the
popular idea that women dress to
please men.
Emphatically, they don't.
If they did, they would relegate to
the ash barrel considerable portion of
the feminine wearing apparel in high
favor in, this age.
= One of the first things to go would
be the voluminous evening coat.
Every man abominates loose gar.

coat is to him on par with potato
sack, and he would as soon have the
breakfast draped in sheets as clad in
loose 'skimonos' and Vatican pleats.

he likes to see it we'll defined And,

Ask some level-headed man what he
thinks of the hats we wcmen have been
wearing in recent years. If he is your
brother or husband or any honest man
who doesn It mind telling you the truth,
he will say that he considers them the
most crazy, fendish, demented, idiotic,
unbalanced, irrational lot of headwear
with which women have ever disigured
their heads. And he will be mighty
relieved at the chance to express his
pent-up feelings on the subject.
