Household Hints

The housewife with q regard for dust
should keep on hand several sizes or
soft varnish and paint brushes.
So equipped she need not fear dust viii
disgrace her by sticking in the corners
OF moIdings in the carvings Of furni-
tuFe. and along the edges Of mirrors.
The scraps of sap left from house
hold and toilet purposes need not be
wasted The former may be used to
the tiniest piece IN tfie soap shaker for
the dishpan, while the latter can be
boiled down to Jelly with a little
water and kept for shampooing mix

SHELVES IN ATTIC
FOR LIGHT CLOTHES

There Is Il firmly grounded idea that
summer clothes must be put away rough
dried.
There is so little. If any. injury to the
material from careful ironing before
packing that the woman who wishes
comfort on the first hot day will risk
it.
An excellent way to pack the summer
clothes is to have shelves built in an
attic closet or IN a room that is little
alsed- These. shelves should be lined
with blue paper and the clothes neatly
folded upon them, if possible. at full
length.
See that clothes of the same kind are
placed together. as all the white linen
skirts. lingerie froeks, tailored shirt
waists ard so on. Ia this way If one
of these articles is wanted IN a hurry
there viii be no mad turning over Of
ones entire wardrobe, with ruin to
careful ironing.
To insure a good color after several
months il IS we'll TO put blue paper or
heavily blued nuslins betW cen separate
pieces or at least at frequent intervals
among them. Cover each shelf with a
clue muslin or old crib sheet. Hang
sheet inside closet door to keep out
dust
Second summer hats would not be the
sorry sight they are If more carefully
put away Dust well. wipfng of with
tissue paper and pack TO avoid injury in
boxes with tight-fitting lids.

STEWED PUMPKIN
MAKES BEST PIE

Fresh home stewed pumpkins makes
the best pies. This cannot be had the
year round. But pumpkin may be so
treated as to defy an epicuce to distin-
giush between the preserved and the
fresh product.
Stew the pumpkin dry" that is. re-

being careful not TO burn the mixture.
Seal in air tight pint jars. This viii
keep indefinitely.
Inc preserving may be done in the
fall, when pumpkins are fresh, or
little at d time at each stewing. or
IN the winter, when pumpkins viii keep
no longer. WI .chever plan is followed,
the product is most convenient.
For pie dissolve one cupful Of pre-
served pumpkin in one and One-haIf cup
fuls Of hot scalded milk, add one-han
cupful Of cream. and two well beaten
eggs; bake in a rich crust one hour
and you have the famous old New Eng

NoUeI Hanger for Clothes
Ingenious BOTHER Idea

One ingenious mother who was
cramped for SPACE IN her home. evolved
a novel little clothes tree for her baby s
clothes that may be either stood or
hung.
To six-fnch square block OF wood,
about a half Inch thick, she attached an
upright strip a yard and a quarter long.
If nothing else can be found the handle
of a long broom answers nicely.
To this upright was fastened cross
strips. six inches long and four or FIVE
inches apart. to the top of the tree
was fastened q screw ring that could
he hung upon q closet hook, or to one
stuck in the lower part of deep shelf
The framework was given several
coats of white PART and a finishing
coat Of enamel that It might easily be
scrubbed and kept spotIess.
The little clothes are hung to the
cross pieces by the shoulders. or by
running through the sleeves, and may
be put on to overlap thickly without
mussing.
SO popular did this tree prove to other
mothers that the originator reproduced
them for Iayette presents, with greater
elaboration
The cross pieces were wrapped with
cotton batting and wound with orris
root and violet sachet. The bags were
made with draw string that the little
pads of perfume within could be easily
renewed

FERNS MOST EASY
TO KEEP IN HOUSE

Ferns are looked upon as the most
ornamental house plant.
They are not difficult to keep in rooms
Of medium temperature OF course, no
plant should be permitted to remain
in the soil in which It grew all summer
In fact, the best plants are those that
are cut of in the spring and place in
the yard, for at this season the ten and
twelve inch fronds viii be strong and
healthy. But if this was not done, get
rich soil, Just as rich as possible. and
pack it rather loosely around the roots.

Demand for Guinea Fouls
Is Light for This Season

There has been very little demand for
guinea fowls this fall, and. so far, very
few OF them have been shipped 10 the
market. Dealers have been unable to get
a line upon the supply Of them.
Usually, guineas begin reaching the
market every year about the time the
game season starts. With the house
keeper, they All an intermediary position
between domestic meat and game. IN
fact, the meat Of young guineas is said
to resemble in flavor that Of prairie
