Some Household Hints.

Nickel may be kept bright by being
rubbed with wool saturated in am
monia.
Alcohol and whiting make a good sill
yer polish. excellent for polishing plate
glass mirrors.
Black lead mixed with vinegar will
be found to give d specially good polish
to the kitchen stove.
A piece of flannel dampened with
spirits of camphor will remove stains
from mirrors and window panes.
Don't use soap for vanished paper.
Instead. try half a pint of paraffin in
a painful of warm water. Dip a wooden
cloth into this. wiring it fairly dry and
with it wash the walls. Polish with a
dry linen cloth.
A good use for the bits of soap that
accumulate on the toilet stands is to
dry them out thoroughly by placing
them on tins in the warming oven, and
then pounding to a powder.

Amusing a Sick Child.

It is generally the cold maid" aunt
who is most welcome in house where
there are little convalescents who must
be amused. This is how one aunty
made whole afternoons enjoyable for
little girl: She cut paper houses from
maya zines and pasted little standards
on the backs SO the pictures would
stand erect. Across the bed was
placed an ironing board on the backs
of two chairs. 1t stood a few inches
above the bed and was covered with
a green counterpart. AS the houses
were made. the little girl arranged
them in neat rows and soon had
small village The second day she ar
ranged them differently, while the
aunt cut out little dolls. The third day
was picnic day in Papertown and al
ter that-why, the little girl was well
and able to go to school One need
not be ill to enjoy building little
town of this kind and children who
can cut paper will find as much en-
ioyment in building village as dress
ing paper dolls-possibly more, for the
idea is not an old one. Small PIC

For a Tin Weddino.

In celebrating the fifth wedding ami
versary the tin emblem should predom-
mate throughout the arrangements.
The invitations may be sent on tin.
and from then on the metal should be
conspicuous. All guests are expected
to send or bring gift, but it is not
good form to present any but the ma
terial typified piece of glass at
tin wedding is rot correct, nor need
one expect that the hostess will wish
handsome remembrance. The funnier
the gifts the better, for it is only with
the progress of years, when silver
glass and linen anniversaries arrive,
that elegance and formality are ex-
pected.
When invitations for tin wedding
are sent the services of tinsmith will
be required, for he must cut the sheet
metal into pieces the proper size to fit
note envelopes. The writing on these
must be done with a fine paint brush
dipped into white oil paint The let
tering will not be difficult.
AS the gathering is informal and the
space limited. the hostess may write:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith
want you to come
TO make merry at their
Tin Anniversary. Tuesday, the 18th.
They will expect you at eight thirty
Those invited should acknowledge
the invitation in an informal note
The hostess should provide such en-
tertainment as she knows her friends
enjoy, II she decides to give a dinner
or supper all her energies should be
concentrated on arranging the table.
which must carry out the metal idea.
The Centerpiece should be of white
flowers standing in tin vessel. 1t
may be surrounded with smilax or
asparagus if wished. The little dishes
holding candies. nuts and small
cakes must be tin and the usual small
silver should be replaced by ordinary
tin kitchen ware. If tin instead of
china plates are used the meal will be
all the merrier.

Books For Guests.

1t is a pleasant bit of thoughtful
ness which many hOstesses show in
leaving reading matter on the table
of their guest-room.
guest is frequently not accustomed
to the same hours of rising and going
to bed as prevail in the house where
she is visiting.
She may have habit of early ris-
ing, or of sleeplessness or she may
have merely short time in her room
with nothing to do. when she does not
wish to go downstairs or elsewhere to
seek books
At such time new book, an in
teresting magazine or two. would
prove most grateful.
It is not necessary to have a whole
guestroon bookcase. One or two. well
chosen. will serve the purpose quite as
Well.
1t is distinct compliment to g
guest to have put enough thought in
to her tastes and interests to be able
to offer her just the book or just the
article which she would wish to read
While this is not always possible

Gardening Cures Nerves.

Gardening as a curative pastime is
the newest idea introduced by the
head of fashionable sanatorium for
nervous women, and each patient has
her particular plot to look after. She
is even given task of spading up the
ground and is expected to spend a
certain amount of time daily cultivat
ing it, regardless of the weather On
clear days, after the garden hour, the
entire force of fair women is supposed
to turn to and rake and burn leaves
and faggots and play they are
amateur farmers. The benefit that
the out door life and interest does
to tn enerves is incalculable and the
novelty of it makes it something to be
looked forward to.
