THERE IS

No idea more wantonly erroneous than
the one that it requires a liberal expendi-
tie of money TO have a comfortable
and artistic home. The essence of ele-
gance lies in simplicity 1t is not art
to make a parlor the duplicate of an
exhibition room in a furniture store
That simply calls for money and lack
OF taste. There is no tone to such q
room-no air Of repose. no comfort, no
individuality. 1t speaks as what it is.
an exhibition.
A room of that sort positively annoys.
Just as does an Inbred woman. who
cannot forget the gown she is wearing.
Furniture has voice. as have clothes.
True art in furnishing is found by al
lowing a house slowly to develop under
the tastes of those who live in It. The
adoption Of an idea here. another there.
The development Of taste takes time
and cultivation. No house worth living
in can be complete at one time. A home
OF comfort unfolds itself. so to speak.
and unfolds slowly. True Improvement
comes in this way. and only in this
way. Young married people cannot bear
this fact IN mind too strongly when fur
nishins their homes. Everything about
home depends upon the way It's pos
SCISSORS start. A beginning made with
out due thought given to what we are
buying means waste; IL means buying
things which before long We are 10 lind
are not what we wanted. and OF which
we are sure to become tired. Buying in
haste means repenting at leisure.
When the income is limited. pIrticu-
larry. must be exercised elaboration in
choice.
A young wife furnishing her first
home must Hberate herself from the
idea that her home must be ike that OF
some one else. She must make her
home speak her own likes and dislikes.
She and her husband must live IN the
house; therefore, let il speak their tastes.
their ideas, and not the tastes or ideas
OF their neighbOrs or friends What
suits one house rarely is in place in
another Thus, the starting point means
everything. Let that be made on a def
mite basis-a basis of self, OF ones own
originality, and not dependence upon
the ideas Of either furniture, people, or
neighbors. Let time be a factor in the
development Of the home. Do not get
the mad desire to complete every room.
A home furnished for the mere idea OF

FIT THE COLOR OF THE GOWN TO YOUR COMPLEXION
Wosfh Remembering

A wife of some years successful ex-
perience gave as her leading counsel
10 a youth about to marry. Remember
the little courtesies. You give your
sweetheart flowers and chocolates now:
give them after your wedding day. and
always. That IS all I have 10 say. II
you do that you will be happy"
Much the same advice applies to re-
lations with friends. Remember the 3it-
tie courtesies, the gentle solicitude. lest
their feelings be wounded; the birthday
surprise of entertainment or gift OF din
ner or guest. the holiday greeting. the
ready service. the sincere compliments.
the minute vigilance in etiquette and
ethics are all aids, perhaps necessities,
to lasting friendships
p Another successful wife gave as her
formula for happy married life the
stunning Of familiarity. the mainte-
nance Of a certain reserve between hus-
band and wife This she astuteIy ap-
piled 10 her friendships as well 1t is
perfectly harmonious with the others.
Familiarity breeds contempt as of old,
when the saying first was written. Pro-
tect yourself and your friends with the
dainty battlemelts Of due cOurtes.es and

SLUIhS DIPEE Ed
In hot water readily act as a poultice
and have few equals in reducing pain.
Cloths which have been dipped in hot
water and then are wrapped around a
hot water bottle viii have all the efficacy
OF those freshly dipped and rung out,
and viii retain their heat and moisture
for hours. This IS a good thing TO bear
in mind when it is difficult 20 change

One of the most healing Of appltca-
lions in the case of bad burns is made
from raw potato without adding any
thing TO it, Crate It freshly every time
the poutice is to be changed, and. after
putting il thickly on a cloth, lay over
The burns. The heat of the burn will
yield like magic to its dripping cool
ness. which, however, dries rapidly. 1t
should be renewed as fast as the juice
of the vegetable evapOrates. Burns
treated in this way rarely leave a scar
10 matter how severe they have been.
As usually made, the flaXseed pOultice
is all that il should not be-a wet mass
which none can welcome. One way OF
making them is to Scald the meal with
boiling water. allow 20 swell, and then
heat 10 the boiling point again This is
used where something gentle Is required.
To strengthen the pOultice, mustard in
small proportions may be added. The
well-made poultice should be soft and
moist, but not wet and hot.

are well worthy Of note.

An exquisite effect was gained in he

worked out on yellow and black Sc

The owl fan is another favorite lhis

owls heads produced In yellow and

Lace has become such an indispen-

people care to 60 to the expense Of
dispatching IL TO the cleaners when

Practically every kind Of lace can be
successfully treated by home methods,
and many women are becoming suffi-
GENTLY expert not only IN the launder-
ing of every variety OF lace. but IN do
ing any mending which may be neces-
sary
According to expert opinion, IN wash
ing lacc the articles-unless very fine
should always be soaked overnight, the
lace being first soaped on both sides
with pure CASTLE soap. The next day
the articles should be lifted out and
placed IN a lukewarm father.
The lace should then be moved gently
up and down with the fingers and rinsed
In frequent changes of water until every
trace OF soap and dirt is eliminated,
while If the lace is a pure white, a little
blue should be added TO the last rinsing
