How TO Set 4 Table TastafuIIv.

See that the center of the table
stands directly under the center of the
chandelier or hanging lamp, whichever
dining room, says Men and Women.
Place your canton flannel, or felt, as it
is called even on the table, smoothing
it down well, so that there are no
creases to upset the water glass or
vegetable saucer during the course of
the meal. Next lay your white dam
ask cloth evenly and smoothly, SO as
to have as few creases as possible, and
see that it hangs well over the sides
of the table, without touching the floor
Then place your linen centerpiece in
the center of the tableeloth, and If
you have two smaller linen pieces put
them at opposite corners, right at the
edge of the table. Now place your
vase filed with fresh water and gar
den flowers, or even wild striped grass
or ferns. in the center Of the middle
linen piece, and two smaller vases (if
you possess them) on the smaller cor
ner pieces. At the edge of the opposite

house. Apples, bananas, oranges and
grapes make pretty showing. A
pineapple may be placed in the center
of the glass bowl and the mixed fruits
nicely arranged around it. The fruit
and the flowers give festive appear
ance to even the most simply laid
table. Our eyes should be gratified as
much as our palates. At the edge Of
the other corner place a china tile,
upon which set your glass water pitch

The Country w0man,s Advantage.

Now, there is no doubt that house
keeping in hot weather is about the
most trying work that could be de-
vised. Wash day. ironing day, baking
day and sweeping day have terrors
enough of their own in cool weather,
but when their tasks must be done in
a broiling temperature they are labors
fit for a Hercules. The farmers wife,
who is compelled to rise at daylight
has some advantages ever her town
sisters in that she can get much of
her heavy work out of the way before
the sun is high. Besides, as rule,
she lives in an airy, tree shaded house
and can take her tubs or her ironing
board outdoors, and the summer kitch-
en- is so open that even on the fiercest
baking day the hour or two spent over
the stove is not enervating.

How to Manage In the City.

The woman who lives in a city house
or fiat may so regulate her work that
the worst can be done in the cool part
of the day. She has also the oppor-
tunity of making use OF many labor
saving and heat economizing devices
which the ruralist, perhaps, cannot get.
In fat the windows may be shaded
with awnings at both the front and
rear. Boxes of flowers at the window
will give the suggestion of GOODNESS
and help to purify the air. An cleo
tric fan can be installed in any apart
ment where there is electric light
fan large enough for cooling an ordi-
nary room costing s. or Sc. Pals of
water set about warm house also
help TO cool and purify the air.

Anticipating Warm Days.

It is a good plan to be prepared for
hot day cooking by making out in adj
vance special bills of fare that will not
require much fire. All the ingredients
for these that can be placed in the
storeroom in advance should be bought
in anticipation of emergencies, for it
will be a relief to have no shopping to
do on day when the thermometer is
registering 100 in the shade. Provi-
dence seems to temper the wind to the
shorn lamb by making eating a second
airy consideration when the mercury
flies upward Cool salads, fruits,
canned goods, including fish, dried
beef or potted meats, with selections
from the stock Of the delieatessen
dealers, will afford variety enough for
number of meals.

How to Paint Iron Beds.

Do you want to paint iron beds deli
cate colors? To make delicate pink
get the smallest size box Of brilliant
red and same of white. Add little red
to the white until the color suits. Add
a little varnish to give it luster; also
a little wood alcohol and turpentine to
make it dry quickly and hard For del
icate blue get brilliant blue and put
with white, and for green get your
fayorite green and shade down with
white For all this work get an extra
good two inch wide brush. A poor
brush makes a poor job. Clean it with
wood alcohol, turpentine or hot water
and soap after each job, and it will
last for years for your household work.
You can paint woodwork in the room

COMFORT IN HOT WEATHER.
How to Neutralze the Effect Of
High Temperature.

The average housewife suffers more
from hot weather than do the mem
bers of her family whose duties call
them to airy Offices or shady school
rooms in which are installed all the
appliances for making torrid day
tolerable. It is the midday heat that
tells upon body and mind, and when
the workers come home in the evening
and find mother exhausted and queru-
lous and Bridget On the verge of re-
volt they are amazed and shocked that
those whose lines are such singularly
easy ones should be 81 unappreciative
of their lot For of course by even
ing the house is neat and cool. the
steamfng wash boiler and the blister
ing irons have all been tucked away,
while the dust from swept floors or
passing teams no longer adds its chok
ing current to an atmosphere that is
as scorching as that of Tartarus. The
baby has been put to bed. and the rest
of the little ones are nodding, too tired
to tease or romp, AS the lengthening
shadows fall through the neatly cur
tanned windows the scene seems a
haven Of peace and GOODNESS, and the

What to Wear and Drink.

Cool, loose clothing should be worn
and no day allowed to go by without
taking morning and evening bath,
even If it is only a plunge into the tub
on rising and retiring Water at blood
heat is better than too hot or too cold
Cooling beverages made from fruits,
such as lemonade or raspberry and
pineapple sirups, are good Drink as
much water as you can. If 1t is abso-
lutely pure.
Do not exercise too violently 1t is
better to postpone work until a cooler
day than to do a task so badly that it
must be done over again.

TIPS ON UPHOLSTERY.
How Prayed Furniture Can Be Re.
covered

How Prayed Furniture Can Be Re-
covered.
Upholstery demands more knack
than strength, says the Boston Globe
In recovering anything, as chair or
sofa, first remove the tacks which hold
the edging guimpe, then take off the
plain outsides. This will reveal the
tacking Cut the lacking threads and
remove the buttons, noting how they
are applied.
Loose all the edge tacks. take off the
old cover, mark the middle of it, brush
it well and press very smooth. Go
over the chair with a whisk broom and
a small brush and remove every par
ticle of dust and lint from the tufting.
Spread out the new covering fat and
smooth, doubling it lengthwise, right
sides together Fold the old cover
likewise and lay it on as 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. Fol-
low the original cover in finishing.
That is to say, either bind the bottom
and leave it free or sew it 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 begin
tufting straight down the middle, tax
ing great pains not to pull the new
cover away. The tufting requires up
hoIsterers' needles and Irvine, to be
had at any shop
Thread a needle with three yards
of Irvine, double and knot it; then
stick it from the back through the
highest middle tuft, press the cover
in With sne dngers, arranging it in
proper folds, pass the needle back,
draw it tight, then bring it out again,
thread button upon it and again pass
it to the back. Fasten there with a
slip stitch and go on to the next tuft.
Work straight up and down, taking
care not to draw the new cover so it
will not reach. When the tufting is
finished, lay the edge in proper plaits,
tack down and cover with new
guimpe.
Finish the back first with cover of
paper muslin and over that a smooth
stretch Of the furniture stuff 1t is
wise TO practice upon something one
can afford to spoil.

There is no fruit which Is more
luscious when picked at the proper

Where such condition of things exists
1t is quite safe to conclude that the
damage which such animals do by

SELECTING A QUEEN.
Lucky Young Woman Will Ride in
Elizabeth Old Home Week Parade.

ELIZABETH, Sept. 19.-Although a
certain lack of interest first character
lied the contest. the battle for the
honor of being queen of the carnival
at the old home week celebration in
now on in earnest, and thousands Of
votes are being cast daily.
The lucky young woman will ride
through the city in the civic parade on
Thursday, the Mardi Gras parade on
Friday, in one of the most magnificent
floats ever shown in the State of New
Jersey.
In addition to this loaf there will be
fourteen others in these two parades,
and the people of Elizabeth and visitors
to the city during bic home week will
therefore be given an opportunity to
witness n of the finest displays of
this kind ever provided by any city in
the State. So numerous are the appli-
cations for positions in these two pro-
cesslons that the parade committee Of
the old home week committee will be
in session every night from now on,
until the list of parade entries is closed.
In addition to the parades, another
feature, never before seen in New Jer-
sey, Is being arranged for, in the form
of a nightly display Of Pains specta-
Gle, "Pompeii," which several years ago
delighted several hundred thousand
summer visitors at Manhattan Beach.
Through this arrangement the old
hsme week committee will be in posi-
ton to furnish a fine exhibition of fire.
works every night of the week.
