MAKES GOOD 4sun PARLoR."
Young Matron Has Room with Deco
rations Entirely in Yellow.

Every woman who takes real in
:erest in her home is glad of little
suggestions for identifying it or for
making work lighter. To this end,
the scrap book has been found to be
a wonderful help and satisfaction. An
old ledger will do very nicely, but g.
fresh volume is better.
In spite of the fact that Prof. Some
body claims to have discovered that
too much sun in room has an i'll eff
feet upon the mind, the sun-parlor is
growing institution. One young ma
tron has hit upon plan that she finds
satisfactory She has a corner apart
ment, north, and the entire place has
been done in a deep, soft yellow, pre-
cisely the shade of sunshine. When
the beams are reflected, as they are
on every bright day, by the walls of
the building opposite, the effect is not
at all unlike that of the sun parlor.

STORING CELERY.
Variety of Ways in Which the Work
May Be Done.

Variety of Ways in Which the Work
May Be Done.
There are a variety of methods used
In storing celery. Whee the celery,
is grown for home use it is usually
either stored in the place where it,
grew or in the cellar. When it is
stored in the field where it grew the
soil is banked up high around the
plants so that only a few of the tips
are exposed. When the weather be-
comes colder the ridge is covered with
straw or leaves which are held down.
by boards or earth. When the ground
commences to freeze the entire ridge:
is covered with several inches of
strawy stable manure. The celery
may be removed from the ridge as de-
sired for use, but during part of the
winter it will be inaccessible.
A cool, well-ventilated cellar is al
good place to store celery in small
amounts, suggests Wallace's Farmer.
The celery may be stored in boxes
whose sides COTE up even with the
celery tops. In the bottoms of the
boxes is placed a layer of moist sand
or earth in which the celery roots are
bedded. Holes should be bored in the
sides and bottom of the boxes for
ventilation and drainage. The plants
should be watered at the roots occa-
sionally when signs of whiting appear.
Larger amounts of celery are stored
In similar fashion by covering the cell.
lar floor with layer of moist sand or
earth and holding the celery in place,
by means of boards. Market garden-i
ers have regular trenches or store
houses for their celery, but the meth.
DDS herein described are the usual
ones practiced by the small grower.

ECONOMY IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Seeming TrifIes That Will Result ir
Cutting Down Bills.

Water kept in bottles on the ice, in
stead of breaking the ice into the
water, reduces ice bills.
Craving parsley, sage and other
herbs in a kitchen window garden
gives better seasoning at less money.
Raise some okra in your garden,
dried it keeps Indefinitely and is the
best flavor soup and bouillons can
have.
Cheap cuts of meat can be served
palatably in stews and croquettes.
Cheese is an excellent substitute for
meat. and there is infinite variety in
the ways of preparing it.
Serving but two vegetables at din
ner is as fashionable as it is econom
ical.
Buying olive oil by the gallon is one
of the few times when wholesale pur.
chases means saving.

The effect of long stoles and coats
of fur is scant, straight, square like
the Byzantine stole, and Byzantine in
deed are the rich embroideries and
gold and silver lace combined with
them. A stole in sable that is most
beautiful hangs down the back to the
knees straight and square, and just
the width of the shoulders, narrowing
below somewhat, and bordered with a
band of sable in which the stripes run
in lozenges in beautiful mosaic of
darks and lights. In front the stole
opens down the middle and the sides
and back are fastened loosely togeth-

cords and tassels. This fur is lined
with a thin Japanese silk of blue bro
cade or a gold bullion ground.--From

FALL MOVING.
Work That Can Well Be Done When
other Tasks Are Light.

When work is not pressing it will
often pay handsomely to run the NOW
er over meadows, pastures and new
sown grass fields, leaving the clip.
pings to lie on the ground during the
winter. Grass or clover sown with
wheat or oats and not cut for hay is
benefited by clipping like this. Many
weeds are cut down and made useful
to the grass as mulch during the
winter season. If allowed to mature
they would continue to compete with
the grass until they had ripened seed
or were killed by frost.
Often It is wise to take the grass
off the better portions Of a field for
hay, leaving the clippings on the thin
parts, together with the weeds and
other refuse, as a protection for the
young grass, suggests Farm and
Home. 1t even pays sometimes to
rake the poorer part Of the cuttings
from the good land to the less fertile
spots. Continued clippings with a
mower will get rid Of many weeds,
briers and bushes easier and cheaper
than it can be done in any other way.
For this reason, the moving OF an old
pasture. especially if there are many
weeds on it, is nearly always a profit
able lob. The weed clipped off while
still green is yet a weed, but it viii
decay and fertilize the soil, and is not
half so bad a weed as if left to go to
seed and become nuisance.

somewhat circular form. The cosy
we illustrate is made in four pieces,
and has four equal sides, sewn togeth-

course, be made in miniature for COW
ering one egg, or in larger size for
keeping three or four warm. On each
of the sides some pretty floral design
can be painted or worked in silks, and
the cording is caught up in four
loops at the top, which serve as a
handle by which the cosy can be lifted.
