Women Soiled JeweIrv.

Jewelry is supposedly worn for orna-
ment. but much of it is kept in such a
condition that it is anything but orna-
mental. There is no surer sign of
carelessness than to wear pins, rings
and chains so black and greasy that
onlookers may be pardoned for ques-
tioning the personal cleanliness of the
wearer.
There is no excuse for this dirtiness
when soap and water are to be had. 1t
is we'll to purchase small box of
jewelers. sawdust to expedite drying
and polishing. A rouged chamois is
also helpful.
1t is particularly i'll advised for the
girl who works to wear dirty jewelry.
Indeed, she should wear as little as
possible. A watch. cuff buttons and a
simple brooch or pin at the neck are
all that is permissible for good taste.
These should be kept shining.
Remember that dirty jewelry is an
ofense against good taste that no we'll
bred girl will commit.

ENLARGING ROOMS.
Optical Delusions Wrought by Clever
Interior Decorations,

The problem Of making a rather
small low ceiling dining room look big
ger and loftier was successfully solved
recently in one home. Until the change
this fall the wall paper was in dark
green figured pattern extending three
quarters Of the way to the ceiling,
where a white rail met border of
light green. The effect Of this was to
make the room look low, while several
pictures in white frames took up too
much space and appeared "spotty."
The first move was to Danish the pic
lures and give the figured paper a coat
Of light but beautiful blush green cal
cimine, leaving the paler green frieze
intact.
The new color scheme made the
room appear more spacious and served
admirably as a background for two
handsome old pieces of furniture that
were household treasures. One was
buffet and the other a desk with an
upper part inclosed in glass that was
utilized as a closet for fine china.
A couple Of marine views in water
colors 0 by IL inches were set fat
against the wall. covered with glass
and held in place by beading. Two
high class designs cut from wall pa
per frieze showing artistic marine
views in tones Of green were treated
in the same way.
A globe of silver fish was placed in
this "sea room." as the mistress Of the
house called it, and contributed to the
nttractiveness Of the apartment.
The old grained woodwork gave way
to white enamel with crystal knobs on
the doors. The curtains, filmy lace
ones. were placed next to the window
panes. electric lights in the ceiling re-
placed the chandeliers and contributed
to the effect of spaciousness produced
by this innovation. /!

She will lengthen sleeves and put in
fresh lace with infinite care and great
expenditure Of time and nerves. Once,
after she had been altering blouse

few dollars in the first place and had

the time it had taken her and showed
her in cold figures that she might
have earned $50 in the time wasted in
fixing that blouse. And I suggested
mildly that sleeves at $25 apiece were
rather more expensive than she ought
to wear. But she protested that the
garment was too good to throw away
and no seamstress would bother with
it, and dare say she is still fixing up
her old clothes.

A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.

1t seems that the specialists in the
agricultural department at Washing
ton have lately conceived the notion
that if the weeds are kept down in a
field of corn by hoeing once a week the
yield will be as much or more than if
tended in the usual way with culti-
vator. A farmer not far from where
the writer lives was asked to give this
idea a test. and his report. made a
short time ago, is in substance as fol-
lows: Six rows twelve rods long were
planted in the open field. and during
the growing season the only care CIV
once week with hoe. while the corn
on either side was given the customary
treatment with drag and corn plow
and also kept clean with hoe. At husk-
ing time the four middle rows in the
| uncultivated plot yielded 301 pounds
of corn. while four rows of equal
length beside it. cultivated rs stated,
yielded 2G1 pounds of corn. Accord
ing to these figures. the uncutivated
corn yielded at the rate of sixty BUSH
els to the acre. while the other yielded
but fifty-twO bushels. 1t would seem
in view of the enormous loss that is
sustained by corn growers of the coun-
try annually through lack of proper
cultivation of their fields that the
above is Il" mighty risky doctrine for
the department at Washington to pro-
| mugate. In the first place, so many
of the conditions attending the expert
ment are unknown-namely, the char
acter Of the soil. which for the proper
circulation of the air and moisture
might need little or much cultivation,
whether the cultivation given was of
| the proper kind. how thick the weeds
were and how much cultivating the
| stirring Of the soil with a hoe proved
| to be-that the value of the expert
| ment in proving the idea entertained
! is largely vitiated. More than all this
! is the unavoidable fact that even if
! this hoeing method were preferable
| the labor situation is such as to make
| this way of handling any but very
limited areas an absolute impossibili-
! ty Better would the department de-
vote its energies to proving. as has
| repeatedly been done. that corn that
| is cultivated six and seven times dur
| ing the growing season will yield from
eight to twenty bushels more per acre
than corn that is cultivated but twice.
This is the kind of gospel that needs
| preaching to the Indifferent and care
less farmer. who if he were to adopt
| the hoe method could not be counted
| on to work the handle as vigorously
| as would be necessary to give ideal
conditions and desired results.
