Helpful Hints.

iNNlRAhl
Uses OF the lemon.-Take daily the
Juice of a large lemon, either in cold
water or clear. This is a remedy for
billousness.
For a felon. cut off the end of a
lemon and insert the finger, bind II
on. In the morning the tester will be
near the surface and may easily be re-
moved.
Lemon Juice and loaf sugar is a
good remedy for coughs.
Lemon is a good stain remover,
either from the hands or clothing.
To remove tan, wash the face in
water and lemon Juice.
A trained nurse of experience has
emphasized the necessity of keeping
mirrors out of the sickroom.
The patient should never be al
lowed to look into one, If the vag
wrought by disease are very evident,
as the shock which II gives a nervous
patient is hard TO soothe away.
To Wash White Cashmere.
First remove all the hooks and eyes
and any colored trimming. Then
shave up about four ounces of white
soap. put It into a saucepan, cover
with water and allow II 10 melt over
n gentle heat. When quite dissolved,
take out a cupful, beat the remainder
to a lather in a gallon of water. When
the suds is a little cooled, immense
the cashmere, squeeze II and knead
II I'm water. Do not rub soap on the
material. When all the dirt has been
removed, squeeze without wringing,
and place the goods In a bath of
tepid water to which the cupful of
dissolved o has been added.
Squeeze as much Of the water out
again as you can and hang to dry in
the open air.
When nearly dry, press with an iron
not too hot.
Very pretty porch pillows are made
by drawing pretty colored strips OF
worsted through burlap. Different de.
signs may be used and contrasting or
well-blended colors make the pillows
very artistic.
Honey is one of the best remedies
for a cough.

The Breakfast Table.


As the appetite is more apt to be
tickle in the morning, great care
should be taken that the table is at
tractive. A welllaid table and a few
dainty. dishes will often call forth an
appetite.
The no-breakfast fad has died a
natural death. although II certainly
had much to recommend II. Think of
the time. temper and bother saved
each morning. The ideal English
breakfast would o suit the average
American. Pigeon Pie and Collared
Tongue seem a little hearty for the
simple breakfast"
The French idea Of a roll and a cup
Of coffee is simple. easy 70 prepare,
but would be very monotonous day
in and day out.
For those who are able to have sew
eral sets of china, that used for break
fast should be different from the din
ner set. Blue is generally considered
a good color for the breakfast china.
A well-laid table is decidedly mill
tary in its appearance, precision is
the watch word. Knives. forks and
spoons are laid in careful order, a half
an inch from the edge Of the table.
The blade of the knife turned toward
the plate, at the right, the fork tines
up at the left. The spoons in regular
ORDER next to the knife. The first ar
ticle of silver to be used is the n
farthest from the plate. The water
glass is placed at the point Of the
knife, the napkin at the left of the
fork and bread and butter plate when
used, just above the napkin. One
may decorate a table with a few flow
ers laid carelessly on the table. But
Il is best not to trine too much with
the military effect Of the table.
Southern Rolls.
Take six cupfuls of flour, two eggs,
one cake OF yeast. one cup of milk,
two tablespoonfuls of lard and a tea
spoonful of salt. Mix and set to rise,
knead, shape into rolls and let rise
again. Bake in a hot oven.

this day of outdoor sleeping rooms,
to speak Of the Importance Of airing
the bedding and room each day; but
there are many, many homes where
fresh air only enters because carpen-
try cannot make woodwork air
tight.
We may excuse the extreme poor,
who are saving fuel and heat; but
what of those who have plenty and
yet deny themselves the blessing Of
pure air? One of the best ways OF
training housekeepers is in the school.
the children who are taught the way
to air a bed and make II are learning
valuable lessons in housekeeping
These lessons may be taught with a
dolls bed in the rural schools, where
this knowledge is as much needed as
in the cities.
No equipment seems to be he
great drawback in so many schools.
First, a teacher with some training In
the line of household economics and an
interest deep enough to overcome OBJ
s%tacles, and this teaching becomes a
great educational factor to both boys
and girls.
II is well that the boys should be
trained in the knowledge of the value
Of a well-manageC home, that 1t takes
skill Of a high order to keep the house
hold running smoothly and without
friction.
Roosevelt says: Teach the boys
to be home-makers and the girls to be
home-keepers."
The Importance of this training
cannot be estimated as a large ma
iority of the boys and girls receive
none of this teaching in their homes,
and all they acquire will be FROM
school training.
The great obstacle to household eco
Monies in the rural schools, beside
lack of equipment and trained teach
ers, is the already crowded curricu-
lum; but even this may be met by
giving the training in connection with
language. reading, arithmetic and for
the opening exercises.

White Collar and Cuffs for Girl.

Nothing is daintier for the small
girls school frock than spotless col,
lars and cuffs OF white linen. These
collars are of the popular rundown
variety which may be bought In the
stores, OF plain starched white linen,
with cuffs to match.
But much finer sets can be made at
home out OF the handkerchief linen
with a simple buttonhole edge and
they are much smarter than the ready
made eton and Byron collars Of the
stores.
The cuffs are the most important
garniture, for It is a labor of love to
keep snowy cuffs on the little sleeves
which seem to rub all the soil of the
school desks, but these white acces-
sories are so charming that the
trouble is well worth while.

SUITED TO THE DEBUTANTE
Dancing Frock Patterned After One
That Was Worn by Empress
Josephine.

These mid-season frocks have the
same straight, slim lines. with little
surplice bodices above a high sash or
girdle which were noticeable in the
earlier costumes. From Cabot has
come n of the sweetest little de-
butane frocks Of the year-a dancing
frock patterned after a little morning
costume worn by Empress Josephine
In the days when Napoleon was first
~captivated by her slim loneliness.
J~osephine's dress-like all the cos
tunes of those lax days-was very
thin and very, very transparent and
was so narrow and straight that Il re-
yealed the slender. rounded limbs be-.
meath with the f%rankness OF a yelled
statue; but, of course, the Callot re-
production is in keeping with
the customs of later times. Here is
the quaint little high-waisted frock
with long sleeves to the wrist and a
perfectly straight, narrow skirt, but
this little frock, made of very fine
pure-white lace. falls over an equally
straight, narrow slip of palest pink
satin. Around the high waist-line,
reaching from Just beneath the bust
to almost the natural wais.line, is a
broad girdle of the pink satin Dor.
