A hat Of this type is often worn with a

accessory Is very pretty and becoming.
Very smart skirt suits, or, rather. three

Travelling comfort is provided to a greater
degree in the modern trunks than In any
other accessory for either man or woman.
For the latter there are to be had parasol
trunks, shoe trunks with compartments for
dozen pairs of shoes and places for stock

The way in which a wood floor should
be cared for depends on several circum-
stances. If II is Of oak-the best of all
flooring woods--it is necessary to consider
whether it has been vanished.
1t ought not TO have been, declares an
architect writing for Everyday House
keeping. No varnish Of any kind, not even
shellac, should be allowed to touch a floor
of hard wood. whether new or old.
Unfortunately all painters except the
most skllful and conscientious insist on
vanishing these floors, laughing to scorn
the prohibition of the architect From
their own point of view the painters have
reason for their opinion, for vanishing
is a cheap and quick method Of giving
the floor a polish which will last till they
get their pay.
Perhaps there Is also some secret al
lurement in the thought Of the long and
profitable Job which may come to them
few years later in scraping and burning
on with oxalic acid this same varnisn,
grown hopelessly black and patehy.
For the housekeeper the only thing is to
insist sternly that oak birch, maple, syca-
more or Georgia pine shall be finished
only with wax. Even then painters will
evade the plainest directions.
cover the floor with a sort Of varnish hav-
ing dull, waxy gloss. insisting that this
is what is always understood" as a wax
finish Others put on a coat Of shellac be-
fore waxing declaring that it is neces-
sary ito keep the filler from coming out"
There is, in fact, no real need of filler,
even for an oak floor. But even where it
is used It will stay in place perfectly we'll
without shellac, which inevitably causes
the floor to wear patchy in a few years.
The true reason for the painters par
TALLY for the use of shellac is that it
saves wax, which is expensive, and saves
labor and time.
But suppose that our oak floor was
properly finished in the beginning; II will
probably, in the spring, show streaks of
dirt and dull patches. The dirty streaks
are caused by dust sticking to the wax,
and the dull patches by dampness, prob
ably from wet shoes.
If the housekeeper likes to take care of
her house herself let her get a gallon OF
turpentine, a pound or two of floor wax
and a dozen sheets of No. sandpaper,
with plenty of rags, and begin by washing
the floor with turpentine only On no
account must water, benizne or naphtha
be used on waxed floor.
The turpentine will take of the surface
wax. and with 1t the dirt that sticks to It.
Where the wax is particularly hard and
dirty a small piece of sandpaper should
be dipped in turpentine and rubbed on the
place until the dirt is loosened
This treatment will soon revive the
brightness of the floor and leave it in good
condition for repoushing. while washing
with water will raise the grain and make
the floor rough, without taking of the
dirt, as the wax repels even strong soap
suds. The floor must then be left fol
the turpentire to evaporate.

''The Ministerial association of Dubuque,
Ia, has declared war on the 'peek-a-boo
waist. Each member stands pledged, II
is said, to preach, at an early day, a ser
mon on Slaves to Fashion, in which
the 'peek-a-boo waist shall be ruthlessly
exposed and mercilessly denounced.
I'VE are hearing news of much the
same character from other parts of the
country" comments the Chicago Inter
Ocean. East, west, north and south the
moralists are much disturbed over the
'peek-a-boo' waist. II seems, however,
that only the moralists and the women
know much about It, The average man
could not tell a peek-a-boo from any
other kind of waist until the difference
had been pointed out to him by some NOR
alist or feminine relative or friend. And
then he would have to be told why 1t was
immoral before he would realize the hid
eousness of its immortality.
THE average man is rather a careless
sort of individual. A whole lot Of things
are going on, and may be seen, and are
probably under his very eyes, that he
would not recognize as being hideously
wicked unless some moralist took the trou-
BILE to point out the wickedness to him
After that, the chances are, he would be
able to see 1t himself and the chances
are, also, he might go around pointing It
out to other average men. until all the
average men in his circle of acquaintance
had learned almost as much about it's hid
eousness as the moralist knew in the be-
ginning

restrictions should be placed upon those
who are compelled to find something in

others are away in the mountains or at
the seaside. But one cannot help wishing
that in this country, and in this age, and
at time when there are so many other
things of greater Importance to be dis
cussed, and so many other evils of greater
magnitude to be condemned, the moralists
could find some more serious topic than
the 'peek-a-boo waist"
