To Clean Furniture.

~ HERE is right and wrong way to clean furniture. The best way is the - easiest. The fat willow whip should never be allowed to touch stuffed furni- ture, no matter how cheap the covering. for 1t only injures. The dust which slfts through the covering settles in the stuff fng, and the sole action of the whip Is to bring this dust to the surface In ridges. Future dusting on the outside falls to remove this. All furniture should be pro- tected from the dust as much as possible. .s When agfesfs- Is swept all the lighter, articles should be removed and the heavy ones covered closely. whiskbrOom and soft cloth should be then employed to remove the particles in the coverings. First, a good brushing with the broom. and then a thorough wiping with the cloth, which may be dampened if the fabric will stand 1t. The woodwork is then cleansed with a paint brush. fol- lowed by damp cloth.
 The dust which sits through to the stufflng and springs never shows itself. and while some housekeepers may object to leaving 1t undisturbed, all the whip ping in the world would not get 1t out, aside from running the cloth.
 good furniture polish for ordinary use may be made by mixing three parts of linseed oil and one part of turpentine. Use a piece of cloth or fine flannel and apply to the surface of the furniture, then rub in well with a pad of wool. Another plan is 10 use equal portions of turpentine. linseed oil and vinegar.

FLA OW don't mention the word expense
 to me- Blossom" exclaimed Mir.
 Justwed. decisively That's funny
 k thing about you women-you talk
 and plan about something. and wish and sigh for il, and then when you've got 1t you begin to wonder whether it's right to spend so much money all in the same place and whether 1t isn't beyond your means, and all like that. What do you do 1t for anyway?
 "Of course this little jaunt's going to be extravagant - naturally = that's what makes it worth taking! But when you're going up against the real thing play it like a thoroughbred, not like piker! When begin to growl about what It costs. then. is the time for you to regis ter your little plaint."
 "Certainly, Homer-dear. certainly" ex- plained Mrs. Justwed, pleasantly. "I had your interests solely at heart. Lots of women wouldn't care how much money their husbands spent on their vacation the more the merrier! But, 1t seems to me. there's no use wasting our money foolishly. We can spend 1t freely for the many little luxuries we want, but we needn't blow it all in,' as you men say, fin the same place
 That strikes me as the failing of the average man. Why is 1t that a man loses his head completely as soon as he gets ofr on vacation? He may have only S10 week to pay all his expenses. but he throws 1t around like a drunken sailor as long as 1t lasts,'
 'Oh. daresay. Blossom. But that doesn't. apply here. Now just look at the facts in the case. Here we are with two-week vacation ahead of us-two weeks of solid leisure, two weeks In which noth- ing has to he done, nothing bothered about. It only comes once year. We can reach Oceansroar by train in six hours. Taking the longer way round, by boat, it means a day and a half. On the one hand, a hot. smoky trip in a stuffy old train; the other, a cool, invigorating sail over the briny, with breath of real ocean, tossing waves and open heavens, There you arel The difference in cost is about S15, but isn't 1t worth 1t? Why, I'd almost give twice that amount for an hour out of sight of landi''
 Its the price of a weeks board for one of us," suggested Mrs. J., practically. Look at 1t in that light, and s15 meas ures up a trifie larger. don't you think?"
 "Yes, perhaps" agreed Mir. J., lightly. But we'll save 1t in-well, we'll save it in doctors. bills, Just think what tonic a day and night of ocean air will be!

is no way that a woman can eat more than she ought and not get fat. Dieting and exercise are the best remedies for superfluous flesh. These can be relied upon at all times. and the treatment is not In the least dangerous.
 There are two fundamental facts about reducing or keeping of flesh. One of these Is that a woman must not eat ex- cept at the regular hours. very light breakfast, or no breakfast. is a big help. There should be no drinking at meals. not even water. That is the second. There must be some kind of work, fresh air and plenty of it. If there Is a wish to take flesh of any particular place the mind should be concentrated on that place, as 1t has 0 great effect upon flesh
 Walking in the fresh air and the sun light Is good remedy. When they are thoroughly understood and taken prop erly. calisthenics are good. But the mind must be upon them all the time they are being taken. Every motion should be fought. That Is, even when the hands gre lifted they should be raised as though there were a ten-pound weight in each of them. All the muscles should be set in much the same way as though they were lifting a great weight In lead. Ten-minute calisthenics each morning will accomplish wonders.
 One of the best exercises for the figure

The natural pongee motor and travel ing coats of the present season are very charming. The touches of black and vivid color used for facing or piping does much to give a decided air to the useful gar ments
 Instead of jet. the wooden beads 50 much in use everywhere are seen exten- sively as mourning trimmings, being used with black silk buttons and crepe band ings, where no other ornament is per- missibse.
 Pheasants, roosters, peacoeks. and other birds are made up in gold and silver or with a plating of precious metal, for the chantecler jewelry. The birds are usual ly soldered to such ornaments as brooches. pendants, buckles, scarf pins, veil and hat pins, purses and mesh bags.
 The lining of the gown and its girdle are being emphasized to the overshadow- ing of the rest of the toilet. The fad for yelled effects Is responsible for the rage Nothing must be garish or Haunting. but. while rich color is suggested, 1t must be softened by a misty film of one kind or another.
 In suede shoes there Is toupe. old nottier, wood rose, all dark browns and blues, and, of course, black. Many Of the women this season have a pair for each gown.

Fighting Your Superf1,4ous Flesh.

Is swimming. It makes one graceful. The wind and sun cut the fat like a knife and tennis is excellent But noth- ing can beat square heeland-toe walking from three to five miles each day at a good gait. especially over rough ground
 In all exercise keep the mind on the reduction of flesh at the waist hips or wherever desired. Avoid medicines. mas- seuses, food and, above all. liquids. Water Is almost as bad as any other liquid Reducing flesh permanently means the reducing of expenses In the present era of high prices this saving is worth while A thin person needs less food, less clothes and has less expensive habits than the fat one. Fat Is the result, not the cause. of prosperity.
 Too strenuous exercise is almost as bad as no exercise at all For this reason tennis is one of the best for women. It brings all the muscles of the body into play, yet the game cannot be called strenuous. Care should be taken not to play too long at a time however For Indoor exercises dumbbells are considered the best by many physical instructors. Weight machines are also good. But a woman does not need apparatus for her morning exercises. A series of move ments can be originated, and these should be gone through with each morning upon getting out of bed. The early rising makes a person feel better, aside from its benefit derived in other ways.
 Many women have taken up the child ish pastime of skipping a rope in order to reduce superhuOus flesh. This exer- else. too. brings all the muscles of the body into play, and Is quite healthful. Because golf Is always played out in the open air. in the wind and the sun, Is one of the reasons this exercise Is so bene- hcial in reducing superfuous hesh The long walks over the rough turf replace the fat with good. hardened muscles. Horseback riding Is also a great aid hut

at the waist and made ail fin one Nearly all of the so-cailed one-piece dresses this season are made with a belt at the waist line. There are many simple styles trim med with fiat bands and buttons, and at least one of the dresses should be made with a kimono waist, with sleeves and bodice in one piece.
 Then there are the different colored belts which lend an air to the costume. It is a pretty fad of the season to have separate. frills made with buttonholes so that they can be slipped over the buttons at the front or side of the dress under the fastening. The necks are cut low to the base. for one needs absolute con- fort on these warm days. The fiat turn down collars answer the purpose very well. but there are also the lace frills On cooler days in fall a stock can be pasted on, or better still, have the col lars attached to a little guimpe such as the children wear to slip under their arms.
 When buttons are used for trimming on summer and fall frocks, instead of sew ing them, tiny eyelets should be worked and the shank of the button pushed through. This is caught on the wrong side with patent fasteners or rings. Be

> HE summer girl of 1910 Is more picturesque than ever before. No
 other year has brought forth so - many pretty fads and ideas. Many
 of these fads are new to the ex- treme. but always pretty.
 One of the unwritten laws with busi- ness girls is that they usually dress in some dark material-blaek or very dark untrimmed waists. But these can be of the washable sort in the summer. The greater portion of the stay-at homes at this season of the year can usually wear pretty clothes when and where they want to, with no restriction. The general opinion in the dressing of a business girl, however, is that she should abstain from the dainty little frills and accessories that tend to soften. But this Is mis- take. There should be no approval of this fashion, and the present season has brought out many ideas for the girl who works.
 She does not have to wear severely plain clothes. There is nothing quite so refreshing on a warm day as girl gowned entirely in white, with plain or ruffied shirtwaist All girls are not pretty and they require some sort of rufiles and frills to their dresses. Some girls do not look at all well in plain clothes, and this season sees them in all sorts of fancy frills.
 If there are no ironclad rules in the mode of dressing, the one-piece affairs are very pretty for the office. They are in color. of madras, linen and gingham, or one of the silk and cotton materials that are So pretty and inexpensive. There are many colors to select from, tan. navy blue, green. black and white. They all wash well and do not easily show soil. so that when the dress presents mussed appearance it can be freshened by sim ply pressing while dry with a hot iron.
 There should be at least three of these wash dresses, and they can be worn long time without laundering If they are changed frequently. They are easier to ell in. In hnr nrn irnnd

 world to take of superhuous
 flesh. This has been proven S time and time again Some
 have q masseuse come to the house at a dollar and a half per hour. while others take even more strenuous methods The masseuse tears and pulls for an hour. The results can be deter mined by the victims alone. Then comes a detestable medicine. It seems as though the things that put on the superhuous flesh are so good and tke things to take 1t away are so detestable.
 One of the best ways to get rid of super1uous flesh is to discharge the cook. HOnsework is one of the best ways to reduce the flesh. Early rising fin the morning Is q benefit. Working in. the garden or the yard is an aid. Nine tenths of the people with money are willing to expend huge sums with the sole idea of getting thin without working or dieting to do so.
 Almost all people in America have formed the habit of overeating. Many of those who live fin hotels, at clubs and in rich homes make the physicians rich. fill the hospitals and practically eat themselves into that condition. No one has yet invented a substitute for water, and 1t is hardly possible that anyone will invent a substitute for work. There

TO PRESERVE FLOWERS,

n NE of the best ways to preserve
 freshly cut flowers is to place them " in a vase filled with fresh water, in which a little charcoal has been steeped or a small piece of camphor dissolved. The vase should be set upon a plate or dish and covered with a bell shaped glass. Around the edge of the glass a little water should be poured. so that the air will be excluded.

 Women who enjoy the sport of noun tain climbing when they are abroad rec ommend this class of exercise for women who want to get rid of flesh.

PLAYED GAME
IN The RAIN
Rutgers Preparatory School
Defeated by Newark H. S.
In Football Yesterday.
LOTS OF GOOD PLAYS

In a drilling rain and on a field
covered with mud, the Newark high
school football eleven defeated the
Rutgers preparatory school team
yesterday afternoon by a score of IL
to O.. Coach Brodhead had his reg
ular team out for the first time this
year. The line looks to be the
strongest that the local institution
has had In many years. Talbot and
Ward opened great gaps for the
backs to plunge through. The game
was played at Ashland Field, East
Orange.
Jose played a good game at quar-
terback, Gilbertson. time and again
plunged through the Rutgers line
for five and ten yard gains. Read,
Clark and Hill also played well for
Newark, some of Clark's tackles be-
ing of the sensational order. Bovard
was a tower Of strength in the kick
ing department. He reeled off sew
eral thirty-f1ve and forty yard punts
and twice sent the ball over the
heads of the opposing backs.
Voorhees, and Parkin played well
for Rutgers, as did John Schumach-
err, who formerly attended the New
ARK high school.
Newark used few new players, but
relied mostly On line plunging and
tackle plays. Twice they rushed the
ball down the field on line plunges
and then showed Gilbertson over for
touchdowns. Both sides were PEN
allied several times for off-side play,
but there was a noticeable absence
of rough work, the game being
clearly and quickly played. There
were four quarters of even minutes
each, with a three-minute rest be-
tween the first and second and the
third and fourth, and a ten-minute
rest between the second and third
quarters.
Rutgers was handicapped be-
aus Dow, their star end, was un-
able to play on account of injuries
received last week. William Grady,
Newark's regular fullback, vas un-
able to play because of parental OBJ

Window Curtains of Thin Stuff.

THE thin stuffs are many and
charming, and every need and taste
can be readily suited" says Lucy
Abbot Throop in Woman's Home
Companion for October. "Muslins
or Swiss cloth costs from twelve and
a half cents a yard, and there are
lovely patterns for twenty-five cents
a yard. One OF the many pretty
ways to make muslin curtains Is to
cut Out a flower border Of some run
ming design from cretenne and sew
it to the muslin. The effect is in
describably attractive and very up
to date. Net costs from nineteen
cents to three dollars a yard or more.
The inexpensive ones are usually
only twenty-seven inches wide, and
as the price rises, the net grows
wider, until it reaches ssventy-two
inches at about two dollars a yard.
Wren wider than this 1t costs more
Net comes In many designs and is
white, cream or ecru in color.
"Scrim costs about fifteen cents a
yard, cheese-cloth about ten. Mad
ras costs from about eighty cents to
four dollars a yard and comes In
beautiful eolors and designs In the
better grades. 1t is very effective in
rooms where color Is wanted and
only one set of curtains is to be used
The bordered designs are beautiful
and there is also a lovely one-toned
imported madras for ninety cents a
yard. Cotton crepes are from nine
teen cents a yard.
at is really impossible to mention
all the materials hat can be made
use of. lue and white checked cling
hams or checked toweling l have
seen used in camps with most
charming effect and they could be
used in a boys or girls room and
give a very smart, crisp air to it."

Distinct and decided are the new
hat shapes this fall" says the Wo
mans Home Companion for October.
Perhaps the favorite is the cloche
hat, which the fair Parfsienne likes
SO much. 1t sometimes shows a
very narrow brim which comes well
down on the head and has a little
peak In front. Sometimes the mar
row brim Is outlined with dainty
frills of lace and sometimes there
Is just a plain wide dropping brim.
Such hats r most charming for
the youthful and piquant face, while
for the more mature woman there
are the artistic East Indian draped
turbans and the turbans in many
and much more conventional styles.
''The woman who Is fond of the
picture hat has many fetching shapes
from which to choose this autumn.
The brims Of these hats continue
extremely wide and show many new
abrupt, yet pretty, curves Some
times the brim turns up on the left
side and sometimes directly in front,
while the back or left side droops
SO low as to completely conceal the
wearer's head.
''The crowns of this falls hats are
very high"

tween the Marions and Young Mems
Hebrew Association concluded in a
general mix-up in which some 1stic
encounters played prominently. The
game had been on but a short time
when the play stopped and a fight
started. Following four or five min
utes Of play the tally stood 6 to 3 In
favor Of the Young Mems Hebrew
Association. At this juncture rela-
lions between one Of the Marions and
a Y. M. H. A. player were becoming
unfrtendly all because, 1t Is claimed,
the Marion performer used a wrist
band to unsportsmanslike advantage.
1t Is asserted he repeatedly cut the
neck of his opponent with the hard
leather band and the Hebrew associa-
ton player took revenge with his
fists. Another of the Y. M. Fl. A.
players interviewed as peacemaker
and without warning the Marion
player, who appeared to be in the
wrong, started to hit him. The
~peacemaker returned the attack and
the other ear a darkened optic as
the result. At this point the crowd
