CARE OF BEDDING.

Few people take proper care of bedding
1t is a rock on which many good house
keepers go to pieces. To begin with, the
mattresses-in France and Germany they
are remade every spring. In how many
houses In America Is Il done? 1t is con-
sidered too expensive TO send them to the
shops, so they remain in the same con-
ditlon for years, perhaps, and we get so
used to lumpy beds that we accept them
as one of the necessary evils of life. But
if we cannot afford to have them remade
every year we at least can take pains
20 keep them fresn says an exchange. AS
soon asa mattress is made II should be
enclosed in cover of unbleached sheet
ing This will protect 1t from dust. and
the sheeting should be removed and washed
at least once a year. Whenever a room Is
not likely to be used for some time the
mattress should be lifted from the bed
stead. so that the air can reach it on all
SIDES II seriously Injuries q good hair mat
tress to keep it for long without proper
airing, and every mattress in regular use
should be turned at least once week.
To wash bed ticking rinse 1t well In cold
water. to which has been added some
permanganate of potash. This will make
Il perfectly sweet. Stains can be removed
with the assistance of chloride of lime,
but the ticking should be rinsed after
ward. The inside should be cafetully
waxed before the feathers are put In; this
will prevent them from working their
way through The best way to clean
bed feathers is to put them into bowl
of hot soap suds, shaking them well all
the time they are in the water Then
rinse them thoroughly and wiring them
in a cloth. so as as to extract all the
moisture possible. Spread them out on a
clean sheet in a warm room and leave
them there to dry all night. Then place
them on another sheet and beat them well
with a stick This is disagreeable proc
ess, and a veil should be tied over the
face and head to prevent the fiuff from
getting into the hair and eyes.

UNION SUITS.

The union suits of Isle have decided
advantage for a woman who is travelling
during the summer. The garment takes
up less space in a trunk, it costs less to
have them laundered, and the material is
cooler than muslin. Lovely pieces can
be purchased for 81 or 80 a suit. They
are trimmed with silk laces and baby
ribbon
Corset covers of white silk are worn
with net waists They are trimmed with
lace In exactly the same manner as white
cotton ones, and are pretty for underslips
to wear with openwork waists OF all
kinds.

BEDROOM HANGINGS.

Decorations and hangings for bed
room should be of the daintiest material,
both in color and design. Printed dim
ity is quite the prettiest and most in
expensive to use in furnishing a sleep
ing apartment. Curtains, bedspreads,
dresser covers and chair cushions may
be made of It, though for the latter
chintz in the same design is heavier and
more desirable.
In the properly appointed modern bed
room as little furniture as possible is
used. This insures proper sanitary con-
ditions, for the less there is to collect
dust the better says Woman's Life.
The floor should be either plain var
nlshed wood with a few rugs on it or a
denim carpet-tacked close to the wall.

A woman who Is constantly before the
public, whose ambition is to succeed,
should make a study of the harmonious
relation between the hat and the gown as
well as the wearer She should make the
most Of some attractive feature and give
a pleasing impression by her air of re-
finement and taste
In the selection OF a hat it is well to
choose one becoming in style and practic-
ability. A small, close street hat will be
found far more serviceable and will stand
more rough weather and usage than the
large hat with snowy trimmings large
hat trimmed with plumes or flowers, or
lace hat covered with ribbons and bows
Is In very bad taste for the business
woman.
dressed select a style simple in design
and material; in color, tone to match or
harmonize with the gown: in short,
hat that you can wear in the crowded
cars or on the busy thoroughfare every
day. If the wind blows you can wear
thin veil that will afford protection to the
face as well as to the hat
So many girls wear their last seasons
best hat for every day. Don't do that,
for very likely it is trimmed with flowers
or feathers. and either of these are en-
llItly out VI pldCe lOT DuSlntSS wear
1t Is much better to wear something
simple and becoming than to select some
of your last years finery to wear to busi-
ness. Nothing makes a stronger impress
sion than ones personal appearance, and
the girl who studies her appearance and
dresses in simple good taste will be beyond
reproach.
Whenever you hear of a girl who is
ne 4.-ff -t@g
acquaintance, for, as you wilr find. she Is
invariably an amiable girl and one whom
you can thoroughly trust.
A girl who is congenial with other girls
one who is frank In her everyday life, Is
quite certain to be companionable to al
most all persons. Some girls find their
best friends among men, while some men
confide only in men, though the man who
likes men, and the girl or woman who Is
friendly with other girls and women, will
in most cases be found among the liberal
minded men and women of the day.

AIDS TO BEAUTY.

AE night apply to the nose an ONT
ment made after this formula: One
dram OF powdered sulphur, two and
one-half drains of powdered starch,
one and one-half ounces Of ointment
of zinc oxide and three drops OF oil of
rose.
A red nose is often the outward sign
OF deranged stomach, and the ruddy
glow will disappear with the return of
normal digestion. Drink hot water ev-
cry morning before breakfast Wear
loose clothing, for tight lacing will pro-
duce this t1amboyant condition almost
invariably.
The following mixture has been found
excellent for the blotting out Of moth
patches: Thirty grains Of bismuth OK

one fluid dram Of kaolini, two fluid
drains Of glycerin and two fluid drains
OF rosewater. Paint the spot, with this

consequent inference that it was his
work and the reputation resultant
therefronl operated powerfully to make
him a political leader In addition to
this, the unquestioned products Of his
pen, breathing the spirit Of advanced
democracy and the doctrines of the
French revolution, tended to place him
ut the head Of the growing democratic
sentiment in this country
Jefferson's greatest power was his
optimistic faith in the people. He
trusted them, and they returned the
compliment. Herein is to be found
the secret Of his success. He was not
q speaker. He belonged to the school
Of the idealists rather than to that Of
the practical politicians. He inclined
to be freethinker in religion. All
these things were handicaps rather
than helps toward popularity. 1t was
Jefferson's persistent advocacy of the
rights Of the people and his implicit
trust in their judgment that made him
SO strong with the masses 1T was this
that made him the most commanding
figure at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century and an influential fac
tor from that day to the present.

She Should Remember an Overcrowded
Bedroom Is Horror.
1t Is natural for every girl to want
her own little nest to look as attractive
as possible, and she should be encour-
aged in it.
Let her learn to have around her the
books that are really hers, the photo
graphs Of her special friends, the little
pieces of bric-a- brac which she has
picked up here and there and which
were given to her at different times.
But remember that there must be
sufficient space to move around COM
fortably and not to lumber the dress
ing table with trihes Of no moment
when the room should be saved for the
brushes and the numerous boxes and
bottles that hold the toilet belongings.
An overcrowded bedroom is horror
and an inconvenience. Have one or
two big easy chairs with a view Of not
only the comfort Of today, but Of the
time when it is possible one may be a
bit Of an invalid and want comforta-

The chairs need not be richly uphoI-
stored ones, but Of rattan or of wood,
made delightful with great soft cush-
ions.

WOMEN IN CIVIC LIFE.
Problems For Which the Serious Mind
ed Are Needed to Solve.

Problems For Which the Serious Mind
ed Are Needed to Solve.
There is nothing that women cannot
do, but the work must be planned with
thoroughness that precludes failure
and done with q modesty which is the
inherent charm of the superior sex,
says the Woman's Home Companion
AS said, every community has its
own problem. Most Of these originate
outside of the home. Pure water, pure
food, pure air. clean streets, sanitary
schools and tenements, district nurs-
Ing, the education Of the ignorant In
the care of babies, the question OF pau
pers, the public baths and travelling IL
braries, the treatment Of our women
prisoners in prison and after, the lodg-
Ing house problem-these are only a
few Of the civic puzzles crying for
trained women to solve.
A woman does probably her greatest
share Of her duty as citizen when
she makes home safe and happy
harbor Of refuge from stormy world
when she brings up her children into
noble manhood and Womanhood and
when she does not destroy her husband
and family by bad cooking and bad
temper, but that same woman crowns
her career as citizen when she in
terests herself in and becomes a vital
part of some problem of government
A woman successful in home life Is
desperately needed in civic life.

CURTAIN CLEANING.
The Proper Way to Wash Handsome
Lace Curtains.

Great care should be taken to re-
move all iron rust or mold stains with
oxalic acid before the curtains are wet.
The curtains should be placed in cold
water to soak about twelve hours and
should then be squeezed out and placed
In fresh lot of water for some hours,
repeating this until no more dirt comes
out. They should then be thoroughly
washed in warm water with plenty Of
soap. After washing it improves the
looks Of the curtains to boil them.
They should then be passed through
blued water to avoid the yellow ap-
pearance and afterward dried out Of
doors In the bright sun.
After the curtains are dried they
should be starched, using raw starch
If they are to be ironed and boiled
starch If they are to be dried in a
frame or pinned to the floor
If the curtains are to be ironed, they
must be rolled in a clean cloth for
some hours, and If they are to be dried
by pinning out fat they should be
pinned to a sheet and pulled out even
~, so that the pattern and shape ap-
pear all right. Ironing should always
be done on board Of such length that
the full width of the curtain can be
ironed at once. Moderately hot irons
only should be used, and the curtains
should be kept square as the work pro-
ceeds. After they have been ironed
the frills, If there are any, should then
be attended to. s"

That he should have been this and vet

by certain members of congress toward
