The number of diseases peculiar

Is fact that most of these diseases
are of catarrhal nature. A woman

Keeping Closets Clean

they are dirty. They are breeders OF
disease, even in the best-managed
households. for no maid and few mis-
tresses will crawl into the dark hole
under the stairs or back in the kitchen
after perfectly invisible dust.
One solution of the problem is to paint
these closets white. ceiling. floor and

and remove the obsolete and horrihis
wallpaper that usually incumbers these

If the closet IS stiH dark after this
treatment, try cleaning with the aid OF

danger Of fire, and corners can be
closely investigated. All OF which Is
an advantage TO the housewife who does

+, the conclusion that it's noisier at home
than anywhere else.

evenings-when we play the plano. and
can hear, through the thin walls. our
next-door neighbor trying to sing, and
the dog outside bowling at both of us.
and when the childrens lessons must be
heard and the bell keeps ringing for
nothing at all. and. to cap the climax,
the next-door baby cries, then / want to
go somewhere and put my head In

HE a$
hin NOI

TIME clever girl always has some
bright "parlor trick" on hand, or
- on tongue, with which TO amuse
her friends In the odd moments of an
evenings entertainment. Not every one
can sing or recite or play musical
instrument well enough to entertain
people generally. but every one can have
some little stunt to set people laugh
ing when g dull moment seems 10
threaten.
Try, for instance. playing the mando-
lin on tennis racquet. Pretend to tune
your racquet. announce your tune and.
with many airs and graces. play your
song through in time-and in perfect
silence
Or tell the assembled company that
you can guess any tune they will drum
with their fingers on the floor: and after
one of them has tried your powers in all
seriousness tell him he is playing-the
fool.
Again, try a descriptive piece on the
plano. You do not need to be able to
play at all for this. Simply tell as ridic--
ulous a story as you can. and as you go
along make strange trilts and rumbles.

with rope silk in white or a color to
match the lining. The whole should
then be lined with soft silk of a plain
color, the straight edge gathered and
attached to a silk-covered disk of card
board. Drawing strings of ribbon or
velvet, or a silk cord should be the adj
ditional touch.

indescribably odd and attractive.
Another variation is the Irish lace
collar pin, where the lace is darned
around the founda ton smoothly and
neatly, and the three flowers are then
worked in black or color-or In white,
If you prefer. Another idea in this
darned lace is to use a hand-painted
china pin as the foundation and to
leave open spaces where the painted
flowers can show through.
