THE SEWING CIRCLE

In cutting and stitching crepe de
chine, china silk or any soft mate
rial use paper under the material; !;
you can then not only cut fast and
smoothly, but stitch perfectly. The
paper is EARLY torn from the stitches.
To mend linen one should use a
crewel or fine darning needle and the
ravelings of a piece of fine linen for
thread. Cover the worn place with
bit of tulle and darn through the
meshes of this, drawing the thread
firmly but not too tightly.
In the case Of old tablecloths which
are past use in the capacity for
which they were originally intended
one may make sideboard covers and
lunch cloths by utilizing the least
worn places. Cut the strip In the de-
sired shape and buttonhole the edge
in a simple scallop pattern. When
the pattern of the cloth permits the
buttonholing may follow the pat
tern on two sideJ, the other edges
being finished with heavy linen lace.
Cushion covers from handkerchiefs
are not particularly new, but some
thing of a novelty was pillow in

a miniature mattress, with the strip
of cloth joining top and bottom, was

daintily embroidered and edged with
very shallow buttonhole scalloDs. to

not one but many styles of hairdress-
ing until some model entirely salts
factory is found and then this one
should be worn, regardless of chang
ing fashions.
Certain styles suit certain faces,
one arrangement being the more be-
coming to an oval face, and another
to the round face, but then all are
not of the true types.
Square and the oblong faces are
the most difficult types, and If ma
ture has not been generous, then ar
tificial means must be resorted to.
If the face is large and square, a
certain majestic effect may be Sc
cured by having the tresses dressed
on the crown of the head.
If, however, the face is long and
square, bordering on the oblong, the
hair should be parted, well puffed in
the sides of the face and dressed low
in the back.
For an oblong face the hair should
never be arranged high, but should
be dressed from low in the nape of
the neck to the top of the back of the
head until the right point is reach

SYSTEM FOR HOME MANAGER

much seen in the morning as at any
other time of the day.
Lay the dinner cloth quite twenty
minutes before the hour at which
you dine, so that at the last you can
devote your time and attention to the
finishing touches of your cookery,
and cutting the bread, etc. You may
have pudding to take up, or some
little extra side dish to see to, and
in such cases you will find the ad-
vantage of having laid the cloth
neatly while you had plenty of time.
Now, in these few hints there is
nothing unreasonable nor difficult. A
little forethought and method ex-
ercised In the early part of the morn
ing will insure a comfortable, we'll
cooked meal, and an afternoon of
recreation or rest, instead of the dirt,
muddle and misery which are too
frequently the lot of young married

UPHOLSTERY AT HOME
You Gan Do 1t Nicely and
Easily If You Use Care
and FOrethOught.

Upholstery demands more knack
than strength. In recovering any
thing, as chair or sofa, first remove
the tacks which hold the edgi g
gimp, then take off the plain out
sides.
This will reveal the tacking. Cut
the tacking threads, remove the but
tons, noting how they are applied.
Loose all the edge tacks, take off
the old cover, mark the middle of 1t,
brush 1t we'll and press very smooth.
Go over the chair with whisk-
broom and a small brush and remove
every particle Of dust and lint from
the tufting.
Spread out the new covering bat
and smooth, doubling 1t lengthwise,
right sides together. Fold the old
cover likewise and lay it on as a
pattern, taking care to make the
threads run the same in old and new.
Cut with very sharp shears and
sew up wherever seams are needed.
Follow the original cover in finish
ing. That is to say, either bind the
bottom and leave it free or sew 1t to
the seat cover and bind the seam.
Next put the middle of the new
cover to the marked middle of the
frame, tack it lightly with Temporary
tacks along sides and arms; then be-
gin tufting straight down the mid
die, taking great pains not to pull
the new cover away.
The tufting requires upholsterers'
needles and twine, to be had at any
shop.
Thread needle with three yards
of twine, double and knot it; then
stick 1t from the back through the
highest middle tuft, press the cover
In with the fingers, arran, .ng it in
proper folds, pass the needle back,
draw 1t tight, then bring It out again
thread a button upon 1t and again
pass 1t to the back.
Fasten there with slip stitch and
go on to the next tuft.
Work straight up and down. talk
Inc care not to draw the new cover
SO 1t will not reach.
When the tufting Is 1nished Law
the edge In proper plaits, tack down
and cover with new gimp.
Finish the back first with a cover
OF paper muslin and over that
smooth stretch Of the furniture stuff
1t is wise to practice upon something
one can afford to spoil.

Years of observation have shown
that to the young and inexperienced
housekeeper the midday meal is a
time of dread; not so much on ac-
count of what shall / get for din
ner?" but because she rses no meth
cd in her preparations, and, conse-
quently gets into a muddle, and
spoils both ! and temper. Prob
ably she has never been taught to
manage well. Here is some plain and
homely advice which will be of serv-
ice under such circumstances:
We will presume that you have no
maid-not even young girl to run
your messages for you. This means
that you have everything to do your
self, but as there are only you and
your husband, the work can be
quickly and cheerfully done. In the
first place, never get into the bad
habit of leaving dirty dishes; direct
ly after breakfast you must wash up
everything and make the kitchen
nice and tidy.
If you have stew, let the making
Of 1T be your first thought, in order
that 1t may be cooking while you
are at your other work. Remember
that the longer the meat stews the
more tender and digestible 1t will
be, and If you do not take care of
your husbands health he may not be
able to work for you. Having seen
that. your stew is cooking slowly as
it should do, clean your knives, and
see that salt cellar, mustard and
pepper cruets are filed, so that when
you lay the cloth there will be no
delay.
Now you can go on your general
work, knowing that while you are so
occupied your dinner is in progress.
Tidy the kitchen Some women leave
this part of the work till afternoon,
which is pity. for the kitchen is as

For the Feet.

Many persons who are obliged to be
much upon their feet suffer greatly
during the hot weather with swol-
len, tender feet. Relief will be found
In a hot foot bath containing ta-
blespoon each of borax, spirits of am
monia and alcohol, teaspoon each
of witch hazel and camphor. Keep
the feet in the water about ten min
utes. In the morning rub talcum
powder or other good preparation on
the feet, and wear high shoes which
have broad soles and low he's.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-07
TO CLEAN WALLS.

Papered walls ma be cleaned with
a mop Of cheesecloth strips an inch
and half wide ID eight inches
long, made fast to a light handle.
Brush the paper well with it twice
a month.
Every spring and fall mix corn
starch, whiting and powdered fuller's
earth in equal parts, dip the mop in
to the powder and rub walls and
ceilings with it.
Then shake all powder from the
mop, cover it with a damp flannel
and go all over the wall again, wip-
ing in long straight strokes. The
flannel must be damp only. Wet
it is apt to leave marks. AS soon as
it is dirty change 1t for a fresh one.
Thick crust slices from stale bread
also will clean wall paper. Begin
at the top and rub downward with
long, steady strokes. 1t is a good
way to cut square loaf in two.
lengthwise, rub with it till the cut
surface is soiled, then slice the dirt
off.
Fuller's earth mixed 10 a thin paste
with ammonia and let dry over
grease spots will usually remove
them. Brush off the dry paste with
a clean stiff brush.
For delicate paper fold powdered
French chalk fiat inside a thickness
of gauze, lay chalk pad against the
grease spot and press well with an
extremely hot iron. Properly man
aged, there will be no mark left. But
where there is big spot the best
way is to cut the paper square around
1t, wet and scrape off; then put on a
new piece, matching the wall pat
tern accurately. There should be
an extra roll saved over from every
room for just such work.

Killing Dandelions.

The most effective method to rid
a lawn of dandelions is with sui
phuric acid. Go over the yard and
put one drop of the acid into the
heart of each dandeloin plant, being
careful not to touch the surround
ing grass with it, as 1t would kill the
grass as readily as the dandelions.
one drop will be sufficient to cause
the death of the roots of small
plants, when they may be pulled out.
Large plants may nee second ap-

Two Fisheries Questions.

Two important fisheries questions
affecting America are under consider
alton. One is the problem Of stop.
ping pelagic sealing, that is, the shoot.
ing of the migrating seals at sea, and
the indiscriminate destruction of fe-
males. II the Canadians agree to
stop the practice, It is probable that
japan will come into the agreement,
says the Youths Companion. The
other problem concerns the use of
purse seines by Americans on the New.
foundland herring.grounds, and is be.
ing discussed by representatives OF
the British, American and Newfound.
land governments. Great Britain ad.
mits the justice of the colonial pc.
sition that the use Of purse seines
threatens destruction Of the fisheries

The thieves who looted the Hartje
house in Pittsburg when it was closed
while the divorce suit was on trial
must be very much disguised with
themselves when they discovered how
much they might have obtained for
their loot. A Stradivarius violin that
cost Hartje $500 was sold to a man
on the street for $3.50. A statuette
of Romeo and Juliet valued at $4,000
was sold for IS. A $4,000 oil painting
was sold for 81 because the frame
was somewhat damaged. Rugs worth
81. 900 each sold at from S. to IS.
But burglars are seldom art connois-
seurs. and often, not knowing the true
value of their booty, sell it for mere
fraction of its value That is the rift
in the loot
