IN THE HOUSEHOLD
VARIOUS MATTERS OF GENERAL
INTEREST.
Special Costume for Wear in Kitchen

Way to Clean Matting-For
the Invalid.

The houseworker's costume is now
an established thing. All careful wom,

cotton to wear in the kitchen or at
their homework. Nothing is smarter
than a plain striped or checked calico
or gingham. made with a short skirt
and simple blouse attached to the
skirt band with large pearl buttons.
The sleeves are short and not too full,
with cuffs that do not get in the way.
A simple band is best, and the collar

neck or a Peter Pan for hot weather.
The buttons hold waist and skirt neat.

n to get into quickly. For such
work as frying or mixing dough, a
large, capacious, but not too full,
apron is worn. The old way Of wear.
ing out old clothes and semi-soiled
blouses in the kitchen is gone. One
cannot wear old clothes at all these
days, but must give them away. The
gain is perceptible to the receivers, for
these rejected garments do not get
much worn before they are out OF
date, and, after all, the family labora-
tory, where the family food is pre-.
pared, is no place for worn fnery or
soiled, unsuitable clothing. So the
gain is in neatness and sweetness, and
the greater joy of the rest of the
household.
To clean mating, sweep it thorough
ly first with a stiff broom, following
carefully the grain of the straw, heat
up a soft broom in warm water and
brush across the grain. Finally wash
the mating off with warm water, in
which a handful of salt has been dis
solved. If light in color borax will
aid in Frightening and preserving the
shade.
For an invalid with literary or ar

entertaining that to provide means

book. "A pile. of miscellaneous maya
