IN THE HOUSEHOLD
VARIOUS MATTERS OF GENERAL
INTEREST.
Special Costume for Wear in kltcF en-

Way to Clean Matting-For
the Invalid.

The houseworker's costume Ia low
an established thing. All careful wom-
en- keep special gowns of washable
cotton to wear in the kitchen or at
their housework. 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 i1 the way.
A simple band is best, and the collar
is of the comfortable kinda Dutch
neck or Peter Pan for hot weather.
The buttons hold waist and skirt neat
ly together, and make the garment
one to get into quickly. For such
work as frying or mixing dough.
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much worn before they are out of
date, and, after all, the family labora-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 iood is pre-
pared, is no place for worn finery 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 handful of salt has been dis
solved. If light in color boraX will

For an invalid with literary or ar

entertaining thas to provide means
of notwithstanding some favorite
book. A pile of miscellaneous maga-
zines containing art or scenery arti-
cies illustrated with cuts and photo
graphs, pair of scissors and roll
of narrow gum tissue paper Will prove
a mine of interest. An article ON

easily be found for Scott's novels, or

coIors to Liahten Mourning.

For second mourning wear to light.
en- up the deep mourning costume the
shops are showing some very attrac-
tive neckwear in fine embroidered
linen and hem-stitched sheer lawn.
The collar and cuffs. accessories for
the first mourning, are shown with
hand embroideries in dots and rings
and fancy stitchings in black, and
there are some attractive soft stocks
with bishops tabs, iabots and plated
rabats of finest linen embroidered IN
black. The handkerchief sets are also
very attractive. These are made OF
those corded plaid handkerchiefs with
narrow hemstitched edges, and inside
of the corded border black French
knots are embroidered in double
rows

BLACK THE COMING COLOR.
Promises to Be Fashions Choice for
the Autumn.

Paris dispatch says: Black is
playing such part in all clothes for
the season that 1t will go more heav-
lily into autumn fashions. That is GER
tain. We see 1t in finish of hat,
gown-whether tailor or dinner toilet
for wraps and for the soft, fluffy
little frills of tulle that are mads for
the shoulders.
Black is always elegant, always
ready for any occasion, and IL the
end is economy, since one black
gown will take the place of two col
ored ones. At present, in Paris,
black is gaining, and by midsummer
we shall see frocks for the seaside
or mountain of mousseline or cloth
or any material madame or her daugh-
ter choose to order. And late sum-
mer modes have great influence on
those for winter, so black will share
honors with any color.

FITTINGS OF WOOD
CONSIDERED MORE SANITARY
THAN WALL PAPER.
Dull Finish Leads In PopuIarity-lm.
mense Variety Of Ways in Which
the Natural Wood May
Be Treated.

The present demand for wood fit
tings are trimmings in private dwell
ings exceeds anything that has been
encountered in that line for two de-
cades, and the varieties of wood in
use are even more surprising than the
quantity demanded. The polished
woods are being superseded by the
dull finished woods in most cases.
There is a great demand for natural
oak, chestnut, mahogany, walnut, etc,
etc, and great variety of ways in
which they may be treated Every
thing of dull finish, with the grain of
the wood conspicuous, is in great fa-
vor, and the brighter browns have
given place to the ash browns and
grays.
A certain library, in which wood
was extensively used to great advan
tage, had the walls to the height of
six feet from the floor covered with
wood divided into panels two and a
half feet wide, by strips of the wood
four inches wide both panels and
dividing strips being perfectly plain
and fiat, without holdings or deco.
ration of any sort. The wood was
oak, though it did not at all resemble
it. The coloring was two-tone,
mottled combination of dull gray and
grayish green, every appearance of
grain having been removed by a
solution of lead, rubbed well into the
pores of the wood, then covered with
dull stain alone.
Many of the modern dining rooms
have wood cornice and siieze from
10 to 20 inches wide, the ceiling being
left plain. A room of this type done
in gray-toned oak with a renaissance
design had n wood cornice of eight
inches joined to a 12-inch wood frieze
which was heavily carved in a scroll
and grape design, as were also the
posts unfolding the mantel, the cap
the six-foot wainscoting
Walnut of dull finish, quite different
from the old-fashioned sort, is In ex-
tensive use for lofty halls, it's dark
effect being relieved by touches of
gold on capitals and columns.
The enameled woods are steadily
growing in popularity for drawing
rooms, all but the ceiling being fin.
ished in the wood. A drawing room
but recently completed is lined from
top to bottom with paneled, pale
green, enameled wood in combination
with white enameled wood touched
up in gold leaf, and has doors, mantel
and window IN match
In sleeping rooms, too, wood is
taking the place of paper, birch, syca-
more, birds-eye maple, and sometimes
enameled woods being used the first
mentioned being in a new garb, gray
and green having the preference as
to color. A sleeping room done in
bird s-eye maple had cornice and
frieze is inches deep and three
foot wainscoting.
There is a wide belief that wood is
more sanitary than paper but one of
the main reasons for its increased
demand Is that It is something new.
1t must be admitted, however, that
there is a very restful quality in these
wood interiors.
