DECORATIONS SHOULD BE SIMPLE

Do not make the mistake of trying to make your apartment look like museum or a collection of br1c-a .brac by unwise and indiscriminate b@yi:g of plaster casts, vases and small pieces of so-called art studies. A few good pieces we'll displayed, well chosen ard well made are far better than mass of truck, for that is what most of the so- called bric-a-brac is; it is not only bad i'll itself, but is tiresone to the eye and confusing to the occupant. There is a decided air of restfulness in the plain, well-chosen, modestly arranged room.
 In the selection of furniture, buy good pieces, pieces that will stand the wear of years It is far better to have one good chair than a half dozen cheap ones that fall to pieces as soon as the furnace heat comes in contact with them.
 If we bought OUT furniture with an eye to the future, as well ae a thought for the present, we could avoid the dis carding of legitimate pieces which comes to every housekceper as the years

She added a baking powder which she manufactured herself, then a fine face powder, then flavoring extracts, and so on until she had list of about twenty articles, for which she took or ders.
 She started out early in the morning and carried her heavy satchel herself. She could only see well enough to know her way about, the streets, and could not readily distinguish faces. She was sweet, gentlewoman, and always cheer full When her trade grew, she helped other women needing money by making them her agents and employing them to help her manufacture her goods. Sev- era1 shops asked her to put her goods in their stock and let them sell on com mission, but she preferred to keep things in her own hands. She did not grow rich, but she kept the home to- gether, helped educate her brothers and sisters and several other women to get start

 Let me caution you againss becom- ing village gossip" if you decide to take up hairdressirg. The temptation is great as you go from house to house, or receive patron after patron, to retail to each newcomer news gleaned from her predecessor Being admitted into the private section of the home enables you unconsciously to learn many fam fly secrets. You cannot avoid 1t. It is q good, safe and honorable plan to for get immediately anything of a private nature you see or hear while attend ing to patron.

 If you do this, baby will not need bootees or socks, nor will he have the joy, evidently dear to his soul, of kick ing them off When he has reached the dignity of six months, weather permit ting, his dresses are shortened and he wears stockings and tiny shoes of soft kid
 Proper Clothing for Six Months
 The linen kind, that are hand-em- broidered and lined with soft flannel, are for special occasions only, when he wears dress; other times he wears "a slip" That means the simplest kind of "a little, yokeless dress, gathered in at the neck and wrists, and trimmed with very narrow lace edging. You may provide enough of these slips to use them for both day and night-dresses, or you may make the night-dresses to open down the front-rather like wrapper.
 Six slips of nainsook or fine soft cam brio are about as few as seem advisable; it might be possible to get along with four, but it will make the laundering more frequent, and you will certainly need the greater number if nightgowns are not provided, for he must not wear at night anything he has worn during the day.

A TYPICAL BUSINESS PLUNGE

Quite the most exciting plunge" into business that has happened among my immediate friends was that of a very young man. He, with an absurdly small capital, and against the protest of his relatives, paid one hundred dollars 2 month rent for just a 'cubby hole" un- der flight of steps in Fifth Avenue It was holiday time and he wished to at tract attention to his wares, SO as to gain patrons for his larger studio later
 He set little hedge of box trees in a white box outside the window on the sidewalk. Then he made a white and gold window, using curtains. valances and loose draperies of old gold cloth His lamp and candle shades, pictures, wood carving were all in soft colors and gilt. He covered the walls with burlap, put up small, narrow wf1fe shelves here and there with brasses and old china. The floor was yellow and the whole place radiated light and warmth.
 The very first day woman who has circi=d the globe came in and said: "This renipds me of Liberty's in Lon don; it is the most artistic little shop in Fifth, Avenue" Patrons stopped invol- untarily before the artistic window and in two days the youth had employed clerk. two girl artists and an errand bow to supply his patronage. No, this being a true story, ne did not come out enormously wealthy, but he kept hi: Fifth Avenue place until spring, paid all his expenses and gained some big orders for his more serious work of interior decorating. So much for en- thusiasm ard bravado, backed by real talent. If mere boy car do this, women with more mature judgment need not fear tp try.

 bered by the thousand, yet m told 1t is almost impossible to secure sficient helpers in the various parlors. This is not business you can pick up yourself. Even if you are born with a natural gift for it, you must either go and take regular course at a hair par Tor or one of the schools where 1t is taught, or you must go regularly and often to a good hairdresser and get her to instruct you. There are so many women who are doing the work we'll that the novice who does not know a good method will not succeed.
 Starting in Business
 The moss sir,rle way, and the least expensive way, after you learn the trade, Is to work lip your own list of private patrons and go from house to house. Then you will only need an equipment you can carry in small bag. You can treat society women during the daytime, and have your clientele of busi- ness women for evenings. You can gen. orally make an arrangement with the manager of summer resort hotel by Whlcn you eitf1er WOrf~ TOT commission or receive your rent free and sometimes your room and board. Or you can se- cure corner IT. one of the little shops that flourish at summer resorts and work up a patronage; so, you sec, neither day, night. nor the ordinary dull summer season. need keep you from earning money.

nience of running water, but in her large, sunny room everything is clean, she is gent1eness itself, and the bright sunshine helps her dry the hair, so she has all the work she can do during the tourist season.
 The best equipment for dressing the hair is to have a long mirror with a shelf beneath to hold brushes and so on Have comfortable high-backed chairs and footstoo1s. If you cannot af- fort hot-air drying equipment, you can rub the hair dry; many prefer this method, as 1t does not make the hair harsh.
 The making of hair goods, wigs, tou- pees, switches, and other accessories is a distinct business in itself To learn this you must go to regular estab- lishnent. It is very tedious work, but it pays we'll. The wig-naker draws a large patronage from the theatrical field, so you could hardly keep this busi- ness up away from big center. There is chance for advancement in the hair business as well as in any other.
 What One Woman Did
 The best example I know of this is little Irish girl, who told me she re- ceived fifty cents as her first weeks wages in hair store. Not enough to mend the shoes wore out running er- rands," she laughed She has worked hard, is earnest, digniicd and conlne- tent. To-day she is in charge of the women's and cliildrcn's department of a big hair establishment and has seven teen men and women working under her authority. She does not do any of the work herself now, but when she did her manners and her capabilities made her a favorite with wealthy patrons and she was sent for to go to country estates as well is city houses. At Christmas time no business woman in the city re- ccivcs more rcnennbrances, or prettier ones, thar does this young woman, and almost every patron who returns from abroad brings her a Tnerne:to.

Good furni- ture, in the end, is not expensive, for it is well made, well constructed and well finished. It ought to last life time ard is far cheaper and much more economical than the cheap specimens, poorly put together, that are thrust upon the inexperienced housekeeper.
