All Sorts of Hints,

A good umbrella with proper care
will last for years. Never roll up an
umbrella when wet, as the dies rot it
and soon it will crack in the folds.
When a wet umbrella is left to drip
IN the rack, alwoys turn it handle end
down, as the water settled in the TOD
and if no soon dried will rot the silk.
1t is strangely true that those who
have the fewest clothes are they who
take the least care of them. It is NOT

is lack of care when O worn. If
hung badly or folded and put away
a gown will soon lose its freshness.

to have W o or more pairs of shoes to
wear, as leather, like people, need
rest to wear long. If the feet perspire
the leather rots quickly unless aired
and changed often. Sprinkle a little
powder in the shoes or burnt alum is
a good remedy for hat trouble.
Use the least dressing or BACKING

Points to Good Future,

Seven poor children, four girls and
three boys. all about ten years old,
went to a nearby seashore resort, in
charge Of two women, for a days out
Ing. The funds for the picnic were
provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one Of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One Of the women in
charge Of the children said that the
boys had arranged the outing "of their
W accord, and the remarkable thing
Is this: They are not good boys by
any means and one of them is prob
ably the %naughtiest boy in the neigh
borhOod. But we think that when boys
do little things like this they will come
out all right.'-New York Tribune.

Hints for the Housekeeper.

Many prefer to write off val
liable recipes rather than use a good
cook book in the kitchen. When this
is too much trouble, have a pane Of
glass cut to fit the size of the open
book, bind the edge with the binding
used in passe %partouting and always
have it handy when using the book,
as it serves two purposes, keeps the
book open and clean from the spat-
tiers in cooking.
For a change add a m: iced green
pepper to scrambled eggs With a few
mushrooms. "atery custard or a Gus
tard that wheys. is caused from cook
ing in too hot an oven or too long in
cooking. Set the dish in hot water
and never allow the custard to boil.
A cupful of ripe olives added to a
beef stew makes an elegant dish out
or a common one.
Use tomato juice instead of water
in the omelet.
Cleaning pots and pans is the bug
bear of the cook. 1t is hard work if
left until after the dishes are washed
n hangs over n as a burden. One
easy way is to keep a supply of news
papers in the kitchen and as soon as
a greasy dish is emptied wipe it out
with the paper and wash it as soon as
possible. The paper may be burned
and so the grease is kept from the
cloth and sink.
A dish which is a great favorite
with many is Goldfish served in a white
sauce made of sour cream instead of
sweet; 1t makes a pleasing change.
For a plant stimulant use a few
crystals of iron sulphate dropped into
the watering can once a week. This
chemical being a combination of iron,
sulphur and oxygen, acts as a tonic
to the plants tissues.
To clean kid gloves with little
trouble and expense try this method:
Soturate a bit Of clean muslin with
gasoline and shake it out until it is
no longer wet. With the glove on.
wipe gently from finger tips to wrist.
Hang the gloves in the air for a few
hours to air thoroughly.
