True Politeness

Parents might we'll insist upon
brothers treating their sisters with d
good deal more OF the superflne po-
llteness which they bestow on other
peoples sisters; and young ladies
might beam on their brothers con-
siderably more, with immense fleets
In the way of promoting Joy at the
household hearth.
II Is sham politeness which is not
sufficient to "go round" to ones own
sisters and brothers and which is
only reserved for strangers. Besides,
IL never fits one properly when one
puts Ii on for special occasion,
Home manners are )rthy of a good
deal more attention than many peo-
pie are apt to believe. Tho world
outside Is made much moro agree
able place by the exercise OF them.
People who feel any alarm about
that and who think they are more
polite outside for being lll-mannered
inside might ponder what happened
to SHELLS parrot that Max Adler tells
Of. Smell taught his parrot some
beautiful phrases for public reclta-
ton. but someone suggesting that tho
parrot might got tired OF the con-
stant repition. Smell taught him some
tailor language for his private use.
Tho worst OF II whs that the parrot
always forgot when he was In public
and when In private.

Umbrella Styles

The general adoption OF dIrectoire
| modes has created demand for um'
brellas that shall be in keeping With
this style OF custom. And so short
handled umbrellas arc accessories OF
the past. for In their place We see
the nattiest looking models. with
handles from forty-five 20 fifty inches
long,
The carylngs and decorations on
many OF the handles arc exceedingly
eccentric and In some cases gro
tesque. For example, parrot, by no
means small. In all Its natural bril-
liant plumage, handpainted. is seen
clinglng to the end OF one. while
another is finished with a Eat plate
three and sometimes four Inches In
diameter. on which Is portrayed In
enamel the face OF an animal. such
as a cat, owl. dog. etc. with most
realisti looking eyes OF mock Jewels.
Colors In umbrellas arc fashion
able this year. and dark red, DARK
green. taupe ard odd looking grays

Darnina Carpets.

Rugs and carpets can be darned to
manifest advantage. Lay a bit OF
stout woolen cloth upon the wrong
side OF the rug. fnsten down the
frayed edges with casual stitches here
and there, then darn thickly back
and forth. using the largest size en-
broidery needles and either wool, SILK
or faS OF harmonious color. Darn
the threadbare spots in the carpet on
the floor with rAvellngs In a fine
curve-ended upholsterer's needle. II
there arc any moth-eaten spots match
the colors as nearly as possible In
flne soft wool. cut into short lengths
and sew the tufts to the carpet with
flno twist or fax. drawing the stitches
so tight that the wool stands up on
either side. When the spot is well
covered with the tufting trim 1t level
with very sharp shears.

II is possible that tho newest ao'

CLEAN FLOORS

The mother OF small children who
lets them creep around on the floor
should be careful that those floors
are kept scrupulously clean.
II is not pleasant to think Of tho
contamination that babies can pick
up from PARTICLES OF dirt lying about
on carpets. Note how quickly even
the bone and ivory rings that go In
the mouth become soiled from being
carelessly thrown down.
II you cannot afford hardwood
floors In the nursery. then by all
means throw down a sheet before al
lowing baby to creep around.
Insist, moreover, on each member
or the family being particular "a
wipe his shoes carefully before en-
tering the house. Mud brought in
from the outside is more than sign
OF poor housekeeping and danger To
handsome carpets; 1t is a regular
germ menace.
