Floors and WaHs.


Floors and Walls.
The inartistic and dust holding all-over
carpets, so dear to our mothers, have nc
longer an advocate to redeem them from
the oblivion into which they have almost
entirely passed. and 50 completely has the
cleanly and beautiful rug superseded them
that 1t is only in hotels that the barely
surviving usage is stin kept up.
But while the Persian and Turkish rags
OF any considerable size are often too ex-
pensiye for the average home they are hav-
ing the good effect Of influencing taste in
the selection Of lower priced ones. and
have established the supremacy OF rugs
beyond recall
This home that cannot have Daghestan,
or even Shirsz, rugs may with Just as good
taste and effect have Smyrna rugs, and.
indeed, artistic furnishing is achieved IN
using plain two toned terry" rugs, %
say nothing OF the always available and
often beautiful ingram ones Of Norris de-
sign.
A rug OF mhgured center OF one cOlor
may have a figured border, but It is great
mistake to use an alI-over figured rug
with figured curtains and figured furni-
ture covering. This spotty. crude effect is
TOO often seen in homes where better things
might be expected, and yet scores upon
scores Of ugly homes have figured walls,
curtains, furniture. and rugs all in the
same room, and you are even called upon
often to admire the results OF snch atrocious
taste on the part OF the would-be decorator
One such was demonstrated with re-
Gently and told how much more effective
her pictures and ornaments would be
against plain. unhgured wall. whereupon
she claimed that plain wall made a room
look smallerl
1t surely does not take an architect to
refute that idea, for we all know that II
is the large patterned. befiowered wall pa
per that materially diminishes the appar-
ent size OF a room. while the plain walls
give an appearance OF greater dimensions
There must be. in every room treated
with Artistic discernment, unngured and
undecorsted surfaces and spaces for the
eye TO rest upon and to serve as a back
ground This woman was at last per
suaded TO have the walls Of her living
room done over in plain green paper Of a
good shade, and to get a rug with soft,
subdued colors. She was also prevailed
upon TO weed out about half Of her pic
lures and ornaments Seeing the happy
effect Of it ALL and especially OF her ivory
tinted Venus de Milo against the soft
green background. she literally fell on ones
neck and vept the tears OF repentance for
her past sins against asthedcism, and
tears Of Joy over her conversion to an en-
lightened point Of view.

What Women Should Knov.

I wish could induce every woman to
cultivate the theory and practice Of home
nursing-not so much on its professional
side-so far as that covers bathing, lift
ing. hypodemics, even a knowledge Of
the details of pulse and temperature, use
rul as all this may be-but Of the things
that any one with common sense and a
little imagination might understand IL she
would take the pains to think OF them.

you carry your worries into the presence
Of the invalid You dump your cares there
and perhaps you go away without sus-
pecting that what you have laid down
the invalid has taken up. to ponder over.
TO dwell upon with anxiety. to force into
a position of false Importance. No sick
person is entirely sane and able to look
at any situation in its normal state. You
come back TO find that the bothers you
have forgotten or ignored have held the
patients eyes waking, perhaps have raised
the temperatune and retarded recovery
Practice reserve with your invalids and
stand like a bulwark between them and
distressing or irritating information Of any
kind. Don't bounce in with the announce
ment that the cook is leaving or that
Johnny has come home from school with
bad marks or that the Housekeeping bills
this week are half as much again as they
were last. Keep these thrilling bits OF
news until sickness has departed. They
may be less annoying later on than they
are now.

Pressing Clothes.
The woman whose ambition It is always
to look well dressed VIII pay especial atten-
tion to the pressing Of her garments. A
linen shirtWaist or suit should be pressed
after each wearing All thin waists and
dresses can be worn twice as long before
being laundered IL they are pressed often
They are usually more mussed than soIIed
when put in the wash. The tailored suit
needs constant pressing. Air the skirt, brush
it thoroughly and press II before hanging
It In the closet. The girl who boards. unless
she can afford the constant expense Of a
tailor's services, can buy an iron which can
be heated over an alcohol lamp or gas Jet.
unless she Is able TO utilize the electric
iron.
The iron suitable for the alcohol lamp Is
not heavy enough TO press the coat OF the
tailored suit, but will be perfectly satisSac-
tory for the shirtwaists and lighter gowns
A good many girls who board make speeisf
arrangements with their andlady for the
use of the electric light for their pressing
and for the laundering Of their dainty white
waists, dresses. neckwear, etc
To press seams OF cloth. no matter how
heavy. do not use an ordinary ironing blan-
ket, but get a thick fold of newspapers and
use a fairly hot iron. For girls who do
their own pressing this method will be
found much easier than camping, as the
best Of cloth often cookies.
