In the Bathroom

The care Of the bathroom is one Of the
most important Of the housekeeper,s
duties. Few women seem to realize that
dalntilv appointed bathroom Is ne
cessity. Nowadays the builders OF
houses contrive 70 give the housekeeper
a good foundation TO work On, but some
'housekeepers do not seem 10 know no"
20 take advantage Of It.
Bathrooms nowadays are generaily
equipped with simple loaded glass Win
dows OF colored glass, 50 that curtains
are unnecessary. They ara also hnished
with nickel plate, white porcelain, tiles
and enamel fixings. The housekeeper
should make the care Of these her daily
task. She should know that nickel col
lects green oxide and white enamel

should therefore be subjected 10 Wig
orous polishing every day. She should
also bear in mind that white porcelain
cracks Just like china II i'll treated
The floors are generally covered Win
tiles or oilcIoth, but for greater COM
fort a hand-WOven cotton rug should be
spread on the floor. A cotton rug that
has become wet time and time again IS
not sanitary, but the cotton rug may be
dried, and il OF good material VIII even
wash.
The room should be kept at temper
allure OF about 20 degrees Z. With good
ventilation. 50 or IS degrees is really bet
ter.
Do not litter the room up with too
many small things, but contrive to have
as many conveniences as possible. Do
not leave them spread about the room,
but keep them in hanging cabinet,
where they can be easily gotten at when
wanted. You should have such little
things as bath brushes, powder, toilet
water and soap, your husbands shaving
necessities, complexion brushes com
posed Of either rubber or fine bristes,
and a rubber sponge
The soap should be pure and Of simple
composition. A deliCately scented va
riety may be used. but not a highly
scented one A meal bag composed Of

be used about three times.
The bath tub should be thoroughly
cleansed each time II has been used, and
left immaculate and shining. The bath
rug should always be hung up 10 dry.
and the mUssed and sOiled towels put
away out Of sight All the puddles OF
stands and of the floor; all signs of
powder and sOapsuds should be removed
and the window should be opened a lit
tie 10 ventilate the room.
The woodwork should be busted sew
eral times a day If necessary. and the
door should be washed at least once a
week. The mirrors should be kept con-
stantly shining, and everything, in
short should be looked to with the ut
most diligence, in order that the room
may be kept as immaculate and dainty
as possible.

japanese Opinion OF
HmeriC0n Dress

Writing on the interchange OF ideas
and ideals between America and Japan,
IN the May Housekeeper, Marian Bon
san illustrates her point by an amusing
and instructive anecdOte-
A Japanese girl and an American girl
were having an amusing time at a Jap
anese home in Tokyo one evening,
dressing in one anOther's clothes; the
Japanese girl arraying herself IN an
American. evening gown. and the Amer
lean girl IN ceremonial kimono The
first instinct Of the japanese girl was
TO pull up the low neck Of the gown and
pull down the sleeves; and the Ameri-
can girls impulse was % pull the XII
mono smoothly around the waist and
hips just exactly where II should have
folded over. Then they started TO as
sit each other. each one protecting
firmly against certain principles the
other demanded as essential 20 correct
dressing. But even when finished there
was something radically wrong with the
ensemble and the girls, after hypOcrit-
ically insisting that the other looked
beautiful, sat on the mating and
laughed.
II feel very strange" said O-Take-
= feel funny" said the American
Il think you are very tight where we

Lemon Taris

When change in the bill of fare is
desired, and the thought of pies is no
longer attractive. then make a change
for day or so with lemon tarts. The
crisp little dainties are best when the
shells are first baked, then filed. To
make a Scod filling the following recipe
IS good: Mix a Cupful OF sugar and n
heaping tablespoonful of flour or corn
starch: pour on gradually a cupful of
boiling water add half a cup of raisins
chopped hne, and cook in a double boiler
until the fruit is well done Add a table
spoonful of butter. little Of the grated
rlnd OF ore lemon. juice Of same. and

the eggs, sprinlSled with pulverized

What the Jap Girl Thinks of the, american Girls Dress
attractive and
Easily Made Lace

Most lovers Of fine needlework enjoy
making the many attractive articles for
household decoration that may be
evolved OF lace made with woven braids.
Sheets. pillowcases, bedspreads, sofa pill
lows, bureau and sideboard scarfs. table
covers. centerpieces, and doilies are all
remarkably effective when made in
these laces. which have the great ad-
vantage of being very quickly worked.
There are different varieties Of laces
that can be made Of these braids, but
the renaissance seems the most endur-
ingIv- popular. Formerly this was some-
what coarse looking, but now there is
such a wide choice Of braids that ex-
quisite effects may be obtained Some
are Of close, tapelike weave, others are
quite sheer and transparent, while still
others have picot or purl edges. Free
quently these braids are made into an
all-oYer lace design, but quite as often
ent weights or even with lighter fabrics,
being used either as a border or in
serts.
This lace work is really verv easy TO
do. AL that is required Is good pat
tern-and surprisingly good ones can now
be obtained clearly stamped on pink or
blue cambric-careful basting and a
working knowledge OF the different lace
stitches. Really brilliant effects may be
secured, by the way. with 8 few OF the
simpler stitches, such as herring bone,
fagoting, twisted bars on which are
worked spider webs or rosettes, and
simulated drawn work made by the so
called Mexican stitch, which resembles
the famous work done by Mexican
women.
a very important thing in this lace
work is to haste the braid so carefully
to the design that IL does not twist,
but lies fiat and smooth. All curves
should be carefully rounded and points
neatly turned. AS a rule. full directions
for making will be given with the de-
sign, or the seller will generally be glad
10 give advice as TO what stitches to
use in various parts Of the pattern
