Keeping an Account Book.

With any girl It is the beginning Of
wisdom to keep an account book in
which to set down all her expenditures
item by item That Of itself will many
a time prevent a contemplated extrav
aganee. AT any moment she can glance
at 1t and see how much she is spendina
for this, that and the other. A good
plan is to set aside certain part of
ones income for dress and another for
other necessary expenses. After that a
small amount, not too much. may be
allotted to amusements, literature and
various desirable accessories. II the
allotted amount has been overrun one
week it can be made up by "skimping
a little the next week. Every week
something, no matter If the amount is
small, should be put into the savings
bank. Thus after a little time the
young worker will find herself in train
ing for successful business woman

CARE OF RUGS.
How They Should Be Cleaned Daily
and Prepared For Storage.

1.-THE care Of fine rug Is every
thing" said George Leland Hunter In
an article entitled 1.-THE Truth About
'Doctored' Rugs in Country Life In
America. 'sJust as thoroughbred ra-
GERS have luxury and affection laylshed
upon them, so thoroughbred rugs
should be treated gently and tenderly.
The broom should be used daily on
them, and they should be swept with
the nap. Every third day after the
sweeping sawdust that has been slight
~ lnoistened should be sprinkled over
the rug, which should then be gone
over with a carpet sweeper
"Be careful to have the sweeping
precede the application Of sawdust, as
otherwise the moisture will turn
some of the dust into mud that, caking
itself In the threads, will ravel the
fibers. Once a week rugs should be
taken out on the lawn, spread out face
down and then gently tapped gently,
mind-with fat rattan beaten.
sFine rugs, like razors and people,
too-require rest. By no means leave
rugs In use during the summer. When
the warm weather approaches, have
them taken up, carefully cleaned and
sent to cold stroage. The process Of
cleaning as practiced by experts is as
follows: First of all the dust Is remov-
ed by the vacuum system. Then the
rug Is spread on its face, liquid olive
oil soap is poured over the back, and
1t is gently rubbed with brush until
n fine Iather forms. Then the same
thing is done to the face of the rug.
After that warm water is played over
the rug until it reyiyes.
after the hot shower, of course, d
cold shower follows, and for about an
hour on a concrete floor that slants
slightly cold water runs over the sur
face of the rug from sprinklers. Then,
in order to take the water out, the rug
is rolled with the nap, a light wooden
roller being the tool employed, after
which the rug Is spread out on the
roof, face up, for three clear days and
nights. When the sunlight has re-
moved the last vestige of moisture, the
rug is rolled up with the nap and is
ready for storage"

Economical Dressing.

With the wage earning girl it is a
question whether she shall spend all
her money on fine clothes or dress eco
nomically and put something in bank
for the future. She can choose which
she will do without, costly clothing or
a bank account. 1t is quite possible to
look nice on small sum. For business
the wise girl selects the tailor made
jacket, skirt and shirt waist style,
choosing quiet toned garments Of good
quality that viii wear and bear clean

Iaces and dragging skirts are in the
worst possible taste in a business Of

WoMAN'S THRIFT.
A. Hundred Dollars In Bank Better
Than on Ones Back.


Than on Ones Back.
At the end of last year the people Of
this country had on deposit in savings
banks $s.4s2, 1877, 1873 A large part Of
this huge sum was owned by women,
married and single The married wom-
en-, of course, save what they can over
and above their housekeeping expenses.
The old country custom. which ought
10 be copied here much more widely
than it is, is for the man of the house
to turn bis weeks pay over to his wife.
She, on her part, takes from the amount
n certain sum and gives it to her hus-
band for his spending money With
the rest she provides for the household,
food, clothing. rent and other necessi-
ties. In Great Britain after this is
done there is usually nothing left, be-
cause wages are SO low.
With us it is different, and the thrift
ty housewife whose husband is wise
enough to let her take charge of the
spending of the money has opportunity
to gather In the course Of few years
a sum that will be the nucleus for max
ing a payment on a home or for send
ing son or daughter TO college. The
working girl who saves her money has
even better chance than the married
woman If she has sense enough to
look beyond her nose she will not rest
till she has savings bank account.
A bank book is an incentive to exer-
ton. 1t is a real inspiration. The habit
of rolling up dollars therein grows on
a girl. She takes out her bank book
now and then and counts its treasures.

How to Remove caIiosities on Feet.

How to Remove CaIiosities on Feet.
To remove callous spot on the sole
of the foot first soak it well In hot
water to soften. Then with sharp
knife cut off as much of the thick skin
as may be removed without hurting,
but great care should be taken not to
touch the soft skin. After the cutting
spread the place with a paste made Of
half a dram Of boracic acid, ten
grains Of beat naphthol and half an
ounce of lanolin. Bind on with d thin
piece of cotton muslin. Keep this soft
tening grease on the callous places day
and night, for it will eventually cause
the hard spots to soften entirely.
