Penmanship and Spelling to Be Taught
Two Years in High School.

Following the complaint of business
men that not enough attention is paid
in the public schools to penmanship,
and the general feeling that spelling is
taught too little, all first and second
year students in the high school will
next year be required to take these two
studies. A course in household chem
istry for girls is also being considered
for next year, to be added to the do
mestic science courses.

TRY TO Do TOO MUCH
ERROR MOST WOMEN MAKE
WHEN HOUSE CLEANING.
TO Lay Out a System and Do the
Work One Room al a Time Is
Better Than Upsetting
the Whole House.

Winter. with it's attendant duties
In household affairs, means that the
woman who has system in her plans
will accomplish more work and have
more satisfactory results than the err
ratio, makeshift housekeeper, who
cleans because she is expected to do
SO, and whose work speaks for her
incompetence.
House cleaning should not be a mat
ter to be feared, and it decidedly
should not disrupt the home and verify
the eating from the mantelpiece'
joke.
The first rule is to plan the time to
be given to the work and to do one
room at a time. This will insure
thoroughness, and will allow a part
of the day for rest, SO that wreck
of a woman need not greet the home
corners at night. Most women are en-
thusiastic, and when one room is
cleaned feel that they might as well
go through the suite. This is the er-
ror for which they pay later on.
The easiest way when cleaning the
| furniture which has been covered Is
to remove the linen coverings and
place in tub of water to which
naphtha or borax has been added
| While these additions are doing the
washing for you the furniture should
be taken out of doors and thoroughly
| brushed with a stiff brush. If the
covering be durable, a beating will
a rattan beaten should be given.
The woodwork should be wiped of
with warm water and a chamois.
Paints should be cleaned, and yot
have no idea what an extra coat o.
enamel on white paint or varnish or
other wood will do.
Wallpaper can be cleaned by wip
ing it with breadcrumbs. Art gun
or kneaded rubber will do this work
as also will bread dough that has no
much lard in 1t.
Carpets or rugs after thorough
cleaning can be frightened by wip
ing over the surface with water Il
which ammonia has been added.
Gas globes are also frightened b,
a bath in soapsuds and ammonia.
The curtains and other hanging
are easily cleaned, and the furnitur'
moved back. Just hint. Chang

Double Skirts.

Although the plated skirt is prom
ised a revival. numbers of the new
Paris model suits have still skirts
which, although rather tight at the
ankles. are ample enough round the
hips and knees. There are ways of
giving spring to these gowns, which
prevent them from developing into
anything which is likely TO recall the
hobble.
In some cases the seam is left
open at the foot in modified directoire
fashion, while a still better expedient
is that of the two skirts, one above
the other. and both OF which have one
open seam in different place, so that
plenty of freedom is gained in this
manner. the skirt remaining, however,
narrow in appearance and the opening
unnoticeable.

Pie Stand.

A very convenient receptacle for
cakes and pies is made from a box.
Stand the box on end and place strips
at equal distances along each side IN
side the box. Let these support light
pieces or strips of boards. This allows
for the placing of a number of pies
one above another and saves space.
BY removing one or more shelves
cakes may be placed in it. This can
be easily moved from room TO room,
or even taken on an outing. The front
may be closed by either screen or
solid door as used on cupboard.
