PLACING THE FURNITURE.
Arrange in Reference to Use for
Which Pieces Are Designed
Points About Bedroom.

The most comfortable chairs should
pe placed where there will be good
| light for reading, by artificial light, If
the room is to be used mostly in the
evening, and if it is to be used as a
morning room, center the attractions
near the windows. A table where
magazines or needlework can be laid
down should be placed near a chair,
not away off in a corner where they
have no value. Again, tables should
be selected that will not topple over
if anyone passes quickly through the
room.
A large room is much easier to ar
range than a small one, as suitable fur
niture can be arranged in such
manner that several groups of people
can be entertained without the conver-
satiM being overheard by those near
them
How many old-fashioned houses have
the chairs set in stiff array around the
walls, with long sofas on either side,
SO that chair has to be drawn up for
the occupant to converse with the vic
tim on the sofa. 1t is not necessary to
have to drag chairs around to make the
room inviting, and these points should
be borne in mind when it is furnished.
In furnishing a bedroom we have
fewer to consider The bureau must be
where the light is good in the daytime
as well as by artificial light. The bed
should be placed in such a way that
the light will not strike the eyes in the
early morning. This is not always easy
to arrange, as frequently bedrooms
have windows on two or more sides.
In such cases it is well to have an ex-
ira shade of dark green on the window
that throws light on the bed.
Nowadays nobody that knows any
thing about furnishing fastens their
curtains with loops. They should hang
in soft, straight folds, and the up-to-
date woman shortens her curtains if
they have been made in the days when

Furniture Polish

From Scotland comes this recipe for
furniture polish, which might we'll be
pasted in the scrapbook of every
American housewife. All that polish
can do to restore old, weatherbeaten
household goods this will do, and
much more than most put-up prepara-
tions can. Here is the formula: One
cake beeswax, a cup of turpentine
Put beeswax in turpentine, let melt
slowly. Remember that turpentlne is
highly inflammable, making it better
to melt the mixture over a teakettle
spout. If a flame is used this must
be very low. When cold rub hard on
the piece you wish to restore. Then
rub with a piece of soft rag to polish.

HOW TO KEEP A HAT NICE
It Must Be as Religiously Brushed as
Ones Clothes-How to Fresh
en- Trimming.

A good hat should be we'll cared for,
to keep it looking fresh. Not only
must the hat itself be brushed care
fully, but the trimming must be gone
over; bows pulled up into shape. loose
petals glued into flowers, and loose
threads frightened. Flowers and
leaves should be carefully wiped with
soft cloth; when colored flowers
fade they can often be touched up
with water-color paints and camel's
hair brush. Most hats now have trim
ming arranged under the brim, and
they should always be raised up on
a block or stand when put away, to
avoid crushing. 1t is especially neces-
sary to observe this care with a hat
having a maline ruche under the brim
at the back, says the Rural New
Yorker. This material is quite per-
ishable, and is likely to become very
"mussy" after short period of wear,
unless handled carefully. We clean
soiled white straw hats with oxalic
acid, scrubbing with a toothbrush,
and sopping up the moisture with a
soft cloth, to avoid staining the straw.
The acid burns colored straw, turn
ing it in usly red, so care must be
exercised if cleaning a hat in which
white and colored straw are COM
bined.

At last we are finding some excel

shirring at the waist line, enough to

Copper Waste Basket.

The newest waste basket is a most
artistic thing. 1t is of copper, bur-
nished and polished to high degree
of luster, and showing in the front an
inset of jade in large irregular form
The combination of the green tone of
the ornament and the ruddy hue of
the copper is most effective. One par
ticular waste paper receptacle on this
order was originally intended as a
glorified coal hod, but woman whose
sense of fitness protested against the
introduction of willow basket in a
richly furnished apartment where
copper found the proper background,
turned the coal hod to new use, and
her example has been initiated by
other women, who declare that there
is an informal aspect about a willow
basket that is not in keeping with the
furnishings of certain rooms. In these
copper receptacles there is an inner
box of sheet iron, which is lifted out
when the papers are to be disposed OF

Summer SQUASH.

A very pleasing way to serve sum-
mer squash is as follows: Wash two
of them, pare and cut in pieces about
an inch square. Cook them in boiling
salted water until tender. Drain in a
colander, pressing hard to extract all
the water, turn into bowl, and mash
perfectly smooth. Beat two eggs ligh,
and whip into them small cupful of
rich sweet milk and a tablespoon of
melted butter. Beat this mixture into
the squash, season with salt and pep
per, and turn into a. creased baking
dish. Sprinkle, with breadcrumbs and
bits of butter and bake until firm
