There are fashions In fads and
fashions in clothes. There are fash
ions in furniture as well. You just
get used to one style of chair in
your neighbor's home when the next
day il Is gone and something plain
and rich and in better style stands
in its place.
II is the same way at home.
Every girl that grows up to the
age OF entertaining her beau must
re-arrange the rooms and have the
old rockers replaced by a mission
easy chair and the round table for
the square table. and the drop light
for the old-fashioned student lamp.
and so It goes until the father of the
family is at loss to know where he
stands, or where he is going to sit,
for that matter.

the old furniture. and asked her. and
she said: why. I sell it. everything

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Fashion's
whirligig has long been a favorite
theme with pessimistic writer's, who

them in the enthusiasm with which
women embrace as "A new mode some
thing which they have discarded in

things do look endlessly funny when
they have gone out of stylel Turn

Or even four or five-and the quaint
skirts and waists. the unfamiliar
coats, will furnish you as much
amusement as any comic paper Of
the day. But when any really attrac-
tive style comes back. which there
was no reason except caprice for
casting aside. there is just cause for
pleasure. That is the case in the
pretty caps which are in favor again
after years of oblivion. They were
seen first as theatre caps. made al
most necessary by the mussing of the
hair in the compulsory removal Of
the extended and towering hats which
obscured the view of the whole stage
for everybody so unfortunate as to
sit behind the wearers. Then women
remembered the dainty breakfast cap

A pretty breakfast cap has another
advantage as was recently discovered
by the mother of a rather careless
daughter who has become the posses
sor of one Of lace, much beribboned.
Heretofore, regardless of the condition
of the frock In which she appeared at
the family breakfast table, she now
feels that she must dress up" to the
cap, and is as particular about the cut
and fit of her house gowns as of her
toielttes for afternoon or the evening.

HOUSEHOLDNOTES~ Maud. e Z. e..,

Beef broth is one of the best relne-
dies for constipation in children. sUse
"a pound Of lean boiling beef, salt and
cover with cold water; allow to cook
slowly three or four hours until tire
meat is nice and tender; then Sc.
aside to cool. When cold skim off all
the grease, strain and give cup just
before the meal.
For quick lemonade take the Juice
of ~ lemons and grated Iind of one.
Let il stand overnight. Make a
thick syrup of four pounds of sugar,
and when cool add the lemon juice,
bottle and keep in a cool place. This
makes two quarts of syrup, and two
tahlespoonfuls added to a glassful Of
ice water makes a refreshing drink
at short notice.
To remove peach stains in white
material stretch stained article over a
dish and hold a kettle Of boiling wa
ter about two feet above, pouring the
water slowly on the stain. If this
fails to remove all traces of stain,
place in oxalic acid and rub thor
oughly. Then wash out in cold water,
being sure no trace of acid remains.
Never set a pie on a fiat surface
when removing from the oven. Use
a fiat-iron stand or wire teapot-stand.
This prevents steamed and soaked and
soggy under-pie crust. Three table
forks placed so that the tines meet
in one point in the centre will let the
air circulate under when one has not
the stand.
Beside the ever-ready newspapers
for the kitchen have wall-pocket
made from oilcloth, ticking or Gre
tonne. Into this tuck odds and ends
of clean cloth to be used for wiping
out baking-tins and wiping off fingers
when baking and for many other pur-
poses. Burn when through with
each piece. This saves time and
washing.
Children who dress themselves
usually have difficulty in holding
down the legs of their flannel draw
ers while pulling on their stockings.

down securely. and the ankle is al
ways well covered.
Fold your sheets once, with thl
wrong side inside. Put clothes-pil
at each corner and one at the centre
When sheets are hung in this manh
ner there is no possible chance Of
their having a mark through the cen-'
ter. which oftens accurs when they
are hung over the clothes-line. Then,
il sheets are folded with hens inside

Before putting stockings into the
wash each week, If each person Will
tack the stockings Of each pair to-
gether at the hens Ga half-dozen
stitches over and over are sufficiently,
she will save much time and annoy
ance trying to mate them afterward.
This is especially helpful in a large
family, where different colored thread
may be used by each person.
Before attempting to remove a stain
from any fabric consider the char
acter of the stain and of the material.
This will save both time and often
times the fabric. All trace Of stains
on household linen and clothing
should be carefully removed before
washing and scalding. as water and
soap are liable to fix stains. They
should also be removed before allow
ed to dry, if possible.
To make a neat, serviceable button
hole, mark with a lead pencil a
straight line just the length of the
button hole to be worked. At the
end nearest the edge of the goods
punch a small hole and buttonhole-
stitch around this, then buttonhole
along each side of the marked line,
having the lbuttonholed edges toward
the center facing each other. Cut
between the buttonholed edges.
