LIGHTING THE ROOM
A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
THE HOME.
Side Lights Increase Apparent Size OF
Observation-Disclosures Still Used
for Reading Lamps-Fernery
for Dining Table.

OF the various problems of furnish
ing house, the question of lighting is
an important factor. For rooms of
some height it is generally agreed
that the invisible source of light is
the best. This means concealed lights,
high above the eye, that reflect upon
the ceiling and then throw a soft light
down over the whole room. High cell
1ngs, however, are not built in the
ordinary house, and, therefore, would
be impracticable for domestic use. The
apparent size of rooms in an apart
| ment or house may be considerably
increased by using side lights instead
of the regulation chandelier. A pair
| may be placed near the piano, another
over corner seat or against book
case, and so on, to give light where
specially needed.
Some consider, however, that a
house is not properly lighted where
| side fixtures alone are used. Low GEN.
trail lights are often a necessity, and
| these requirements are best met by
lamps or drop-lights. Even where
electricity and gas are used, kerosene
is still popular. 1t provides a steadier
and softer light for reading. Many Of
the lamps of to-day are handsome to
look at. but give a poor light for read
ing or sewing. No form of electric
bulb has yet been designed that in its
unshaded form is beautiful or artistic
The ordinary bulb needs covering
that will give beauty, and the shade
must be carefully considered.
| Nothing gives the dining table a
more cheerful appearance than few
flowers or fernery. So popular has
the custom become that the filling of
ferneries is a large part of the florists
business. They should be made with
an outer and inner receptacle. The
inner case can be taken out and re-
moved from the table whenever wa
tering is necessary. Stand the ferns
in the dish first and then carefully fill
in the soil between the plants, press
ing it down firmly and evenly Ferns
will not grow in the common garden
soil, but should have rich soil from
the woods. The common hardy green
house varieties are the best plants to
buy. Whatever receptacle is selected
it should not be less than three inches
deep.
Several new and attractive sand
witch filings are suggested: Take
green peppers, remove seeds, chop fine
and simmer for ten minutes in butter.
Add a dash of salt and cool. Spread
between thin slices of lightly buttered
bread; cover with layer of grated
American cream cheese.
Mince fine cold boiled ham. chop fine
some peanuts, using half the amount
of ham. For every cupful OF ham use
a heapiag tablespoonful of minced
sour pickles and half cupful OF
chopped celery. Mix to a good paste
with salad dressing
Chop very fine blanched almonds,
add cream cheese and chopped olives.

To Make Clothes White.

Nothing will bleach white materials
like sunshine and fresh air. If it were
possible for every laundress to have
for her use clean grass plot there
would be no need for bluing. The
italian women wash their clothes in
the RAINING water of streams or on
the banks of rivers, beating them on
the rock, which, of course, is more or
less damaging to the clothes. After
the clothes are washed they are
spread out on the grassy banks to
dry in the sunshine, and no matter
how mutilated the garments may be
Or how poorly ironed they are Ger
tainly dazzlingly white.

Ruffles for Pantry Shelves.

Buy five yards of common white
lawn at five cents yard Take the
length of four yards of it and make
ruffles five and one-half inches wide,
including hem of one inch, then
measure the length of your shelves
and out of the other yard make a mar
row binding to sew the ruffles in. Tack
to the edge of the shelf with brass
headed lacks and your pantry will al
ways look inviting. This amount OF
goods will do for four shelves two and
half yards long. 1t will cost only 20
cents, and can be taken off, washed
and ironed, saving the expense of pa
per and does not tear, which makes a
pantry look disagreeable. In appear
ance it is far better than shelf oil

Potatoes Once Boiled.

If you have a quantity of cold boiled
potatoes and wish they were hot, put
the usual amount of water in a pot on
the stove. Let it come to the boiling
point. Drop the cold boiled potatoes
into the water, if possible without
lowering the temperature. If the po-
tatoes are small boil for five minutes;
If large, boil for ten minutes. In this
way they will not have warmed-over
taste but will be as white and mealy
as when freshly boiled.
