One Who Wastes

vS the one who lacks decision.
 She has poor judgment. \ She wastes time worrying and fret ting.
 She magnifies difficulties. She is given to trusting unworthy people.
 She lets her ambition cool She tries to combine business and pleasure
 She is constantly waiting for some thing to turn up.
 She Is given to the looking on the dark side of things.
 Or she is guilty of overconfidence born of a first easy victory
 She is not ready for an opportunity when 1t presents itself.
 She dreams of great things instead of, doing the little ones at hand.

bTVHERE are some women who seem
 to think that because their
 & houses are on the whole well kept and cleanIy, general house clean ing and remodeIing of rooms is unneces- sary.
 AS matter of fact. once year some one room should be thoroughly gone over. the paper changed. needed furni- ture supplied. all the fixtures and decor ations refurbished and the floor and woodwork repainted and vanished.
 Thus, in an ordinary house. and allow ing double care to dining room and kitchen, every room should have a reg uiar overhauling once in ten to fifteen years-surely seldom enough.
 The Family Rooms.
 Usually one knows Just what she wants in the rooms shared by the fam fly. There are certain conventions to be observed, certain indispensable pieces of furniture that admit of not much more than making new what was old, on the same plan as before.
 In the bedrooms. however, individual taste must be consulted, and it is quite likely that this may change in the years that elapse, say, from fifteen to twenty five. or from thirty to forty.
 What Dorothy or Margaret thought charming at 21, she may think hideous and tawdry at sS. and so 1t may be that not an article in the room will remain as it was before the remodeling.
 The first things to be considered are the floor. the ceiling and the walls. On the whole, polished floor well supplied with rugs seems best for chamber use. Carpets are unsanitary, being hard to clean, and are cumbersome. Mating is cold and wears out easily. The bare, vanished wood, then, is best.
 Of course, an ''art square, which is first cousin to the carpet, may be per mitted, while for those who are thor oughly emancipated from the tyranny of the three-ply and the Brussels, grass or woven mats are in order.
 Old-fashioned rag rugs. worked in odd shades of blue and brown, are most at tractive, and give a quaint touch to a room furnished in harmony with their atmosphere.
 It is possible for a woman to paper a room herself. She must, however. exer- else extreme care in keeping the paper smooth and in avoiding wrinkles.
 First the old paper must be soaked off with a soft brush dipped in hot water, and then the bits that still adhere to the wall must be scraped off with a putty knife, long and tedious but not a hard task

olution of the room and its renovation. It may be on similar lines to the old. but certainly not on identical ones.
 One of the needs of human nature is change. and there is no reason why 1t should not be gratified in the room where We spend one-third of our lives as elsewhere.

Hints for Renovation.

This occasional remodeling must not be understood to refer to the annual housekeeping. Once or twice a year every room should be cleaned in every crack and crevice. that the weekly sweeping never seems to reach; the mat tresses should be renovated; the floor and surbase vanished; needed repairs ma6e. and the room made fresh and bright for another season.
 Also. all furniture and accessories that need replacing or improvement should be romptly attended to.
 But this remodeling is a complete rev.

Death frequently follows a sudden
