fact. all the wood work on the outside

the library. Now the window frames

How to Make Ruqs,

To make durable rugs out of old
clothes. rip the garments apart. tear
In narrow strips one-third of an inch
wide; bend stiff wire so that it will
form two prongs an inch apart, the
length Of the width of the rug you
want to make. Then take the strips,
pin the ends together, mixing bright
and dark colors for centers or border,
as one wants. Now wrap them around
the prOug5 carefully until they are
filled, ton place the prongs across the
foundation Of muslin the size OF the
rug and pin them firm. Now sew in
the middle Of prongs with the machine
or by hand, remove the prongs and
cut the loops. Repeat until length is
filled. Take some thick paste, spread
on lining, lay the rug underside
down, press on lining, making it firm,
and lay smooth on the floor, and you
have good and durable rug, easily
made and with no expense.

How to Mako Dainty Neckwear.

AS it is absolutely necessary for a
woman to wear some form Of a neck
trimming to be considered we'll Dress
ed, the woman Of limited means will
look about for way to construct some
Of the fussy, fluffy little bows and ia
bots at home. 1t is wonderful how
cheaply these can be made at home
compared to the tremendous price
which one must pay for these in the
shops. Hemstitched handkerchiefs
with dainty colored borders may be
had for moderate sums, and these, with
the addition of a little valenciennes
lace, may he made into charming ia
bots. The lace edge should be whipped
on all around the handkerchief, which
is then laid in small plaits and press
ed. 1t is then divided about two inches
above the center, and the short end is
folded over the longer one to form a
jabot effect. All white handkerchiefs
with barred borders may be treated in
this same way with charming results.

How to Keep Feathers Fluffy.

TOW 10 NeeP featnerS fIuny.
The expense Of keeping either an
ostrich feather boa or an ostrich feath-
er laden hat looking like new reduces
itself to nothing at all and very little
trouble when one knows the way. The
straightest feathers may be curled
without ripping" as the old ads. used
to say, and boas require only little
shaking. Boiling water and dry heat
are the two essentials, and the method
Of treating either hat or boa is the
same. An old fashioned teakettle
with long spout is best for the boiling
water. Either a radiator or the top
OF stove is usually best for the dry
heat. A register seldom sends out suf-
ficient volume. In any event, both
kinds of heat must be ready at the
same time. When the kettle boils the
feathers should be waved to and fro in
its steam until they have gathered a
little moisture, not SO much, however,
as to be wet At the time when the
last lingering remnant of curl disap-
pears they are usually ready for the
dry heat. 1t is this which curls the
feathers, and hat or boa should be held
as close to 1t as can be without burn
ing, and either should be shaken gent
ly every moment.

The climate of Moclips during the
months Of June, July, August and
September is simply perfect. and dur
ing the other eight months the tenn
perature Is more even than at any
place in California. and is better for
people who live in the dry atmos-
phere of Eastern Washington. Idaho
and Montana than California.
The prevailing winds at Moclips
are westerly and as a result of cross
ing the great Japan stream, which
flows from Alaska to California, the
air is tempered just right for health
and pleasure.
There is much less rain and fog at
Moclips than at any point on Grays
Harbor or Puget Sound, because the
colder currents from the forest do
not lower the temperature of these
westerly winds enough to cause pre-
cipitation so near the ocean.
Moclips Is sure to soon become the
Mecca for health and pleasure of the
Northwest, of people who love the

this enterprising firm raised about so
acres on new, raw land under the

more than doubled this year and the
crop promises to be enormous.
Some OF the crop is now up and
doing nicely, while other portions
have juS been planted and other por-
tlons remain 10 be planted yet. So
far the potatoes have not been irri-

moist to keep them growing from the
winter irrigation which the land under

says that there Is every prospect that
but little irrigation will be needed on
the Furnish land. so thoroughly is the
ground saturated from the winter ir-
rigation.
