Helen Gould Is the Type of Woman that the
Warn,-hearted American Public Loves
and Admires:

about 1t according to the drift of her
mind and the quality of her heart.
But the great American public-if II
takes her measure at all, what does 1t
reckon her worth?
Small and Narrow.
That public. of which we are a tiny
part, would nightly like a lot OF money
itself. It loves all the luxuries and the
beautiful things that money controls.
and, it might grow pretty reckless and
cxtravagant itself-quite likely 1t would,
once given the chance.
But II It would go beyond the limits
of vanity. then the public better stay
right where it is. For 1t does seem sort
OF small and very narrow to hold ones
jewels, ones entertainments, and ones
Overlooking wardrobe in such affection
ate regard
And one woman. living her life in her
own splendid way. having about her all
the fine things that money can buy
when there is a still finer spirit to guide
and direct. vet never once giving herself
over to meaningless display, always pur-
poseful, hopeful, and true
That Is the type of woman to win
and to hold the American heart.

Hints for the Housewives.

To erase all trace of scorch stains, wet
the scorched place, rub with soap, and
bleach in the sun.
After backing a stove. try rubbing II
over with a rag dipped I'm turpentine and
polishing off in the usual way. It will
give a nice Jet black polish that will last
long time
Boots and shoes, however damp, will
polish in a few minutes if a drop of
kerosene oil is added to the backing. 1t
also prevents the leather from cracking.
1t is not generally known that wiring
ing out a cloth in hot water and wiping
the furniture, before putting on the fur
niture cream, will result in very high
polish that will not show finger marks.

The fad for black and the various
shades OF brown and yellow has extended
to the wearing of brown overshoes with
black shoes. Some of the new brown
rubbers are as gracefully cut as the best
dress shoe.
They are made Of such soft and flex-
ible rubber cloth that they do not give
to the foot that large and much-de-
plored bulkiness that makes many women
prefer wet shoes and even a cold in the
head to wearing the hideous things
In few things has greater Improvement
been shown in recent years than in the
manufacture of overshoes.
