Good Results That Can Sc Obtained
from Small Expenditures.

Don't overcurtain windows. Light
enables one TO see those aeeumula-
lions Of dust and dirt which collect
so rapidly on the appointments Of a
room and It thus becomes a stimulus
to cleanliness.
Abundance Of light also makes for
eheerfulness. and thus, for its effect
on spirits, should be allowed free en-
try into rooms.
That bright sunlight fades the car
pet is only too true; but careful
housewives may consider whether the
injury should not be tolerated, in view
of the advantages secured by its in
trusion. BY avoiding certain shades
Of blue and by buying carpets Of
good quality the trouble may be in a
large measure avoided.
Don't cover floors with fitted car
pets. A carpet square, with margin
of at least Is inches all round, costs
less and IL preferable on hygienic
grounds.
Carpet-surrounds Of excellent APP
pearance may be made Of parquet-
pattern linoleum. Plain linoleum is
possibly better still on the score Of
good taste as it interposes an unpat-
termed surface between the decora-
ton Of the carpet and the wall paper.
The floor boards, If in good condi-
tion, may be made to serve without
any other treatment than staining and
olling. This is usually very badly
done If done by the householder, and
