If the boy gets his rubber boots wet

The outer rough stalks on the bunch

Patent leather and kid boots will

When boiling potatoes, Try putting
a cloth over them before putting on
the lid. They will take much less
cooking and be much more mealy.

EARLY MORNING WEAR |
ONE OF THE DAiN7sEgT OF THE
POPULAR MATfNEES.
Pale Pink Crepe de Chine, With Mar
row Bands of White Fur and Small
Roses Make Up Most Attrac-
tive Garment.


What could be more desirable and
dainty for young woman than the
little matinee of the sketch? The
matinee and the petticoat which &C.
companies it, are of pale pink crepe
de chine and both are trimmed with
narrow bands of white fur and small
pink and blue roses.
The jacket is trimmed with puffings
between the narrow fur bands at
bodice front, waistline and bottom OF
sleeves. Frills of the material
trimmed with fine net and an edge of
real Valenciennes trim the bodice
sleeves and bottom of the, garment.
The petticoat is trimmed at the bot
tom with alternating. bands of lace
and material headed by bands of fur.
The fur, also, outlines the slit at the
left side of the skirt. Small roses of
chiffon nestle at intervals in the
bands of fur. A cluster of the roses
Is placed at the closing of the skirt
at the top of the slit.
The sketch also shows dainty lit
tie lace and net cap, which consorts
charmingly with the matinee and

RIGHT KIND OF BRUSH
PROPER SELECTION MEANS
MUCH TO THE HOUSEWIFE.
VIII Sc Found Advantageous to Keep
a Goodiy Stock on Hand for Vari-
Gus Purposes-Feather Duster
of Little Use.

Many brushes are needed in daily
cleaning. A goodly stock of these
ranks high in household helps. But 1t
is in choosing the right shape and
kind of brush that gives the most
satisfaction.
Feather busters are as good as moth
ing, because they merely remove the
dust from one place and scatter 1t else
where.
But a room cannot be properly dust
ed without some brushes. A fairly
large round one, about two and onsk
half inches across. with bristles three
inches long, is invaluable for those
nasty little lodges which are under
tables and in carved or ornate fur
niture, round the mirror frames and
tn a thousand such places Then
smaller brush of the same general
shape, but with the bristles cut point
ed, will clean out corners as moth
ing else can If this brush is dipped
into gasoline occasionally and then al
lowed to dry out well before using, it
will take out the dust and the corners
will not look so gray as they usually
do.
For the white bathtub, a curved
brush, with fairly stiff, short bristles
is more satisfactory than cloth. 1t
does not scratch, and saves great
deal or rubbing, and long handle on
it also saves STOPPING.
In the kitchen near the sink may
be kept two small, cheap scrubbing
brushes, about four inches long; one
marked d. and the other ~" thu
first being for dishes, and the second
for vegetables Celery, rhubarb, the
tops of apples and all sorts of food
stuffs can be quickly and thoroughly
cleaned without the usual waste from
scraping, and an occasional boiling
keeps the brush clean. For greasy
dishes, pots and pans, a small brush
does wonders saving time and the
usual scratching with knives.
A very large brush, or rather very
small broom, is also most valuable
help. 1t is called ceiling broom,
and is the size of child's toy, only
with very long handle, and is small
enough to get into corners, thus saw
ing getting down on the floor with a
whisk to brush out the dust and
threads. For sewing, living and dining
room, it is especially useful, and being
well made, will outlast an ordinary
broom, which, anyway, is too cumber
some for such use.

Careful Manicurine.

When the nails have grown suffi-
Gently long to be filed it is necessary
that they be treated carefully and
gently for quite some time, in order
that the tender cuticle and nails are
not broken during the work. A small,
thin, flexible file should be used IN
filing, and l would advise a girl who is
trying to rejuvenate her fingers to
use only home made preparations on
them.
If the finger nails will break in spite
of all that is being done for them,
they should then be anointed thickly
at night with the following paste:
One-quarter of an ounce of pistache
oil, eight grains of fine table salt,
eight and quarter grains each, OF
powdered resin and alum and 20
grains of white wax; melt the wax
over water bath, then stir in the oil,
remove from the bath and beat in the
powders, which should have been pre-
viously sifted together.

shredded Crab.

An easy way of serving crab meat
in the shells is to shred it and mix it
with a dressing made of four table
spoonfuls of oil, two tablespoonful OF
vinegar, salt, white pepper and cay
enne. Return the dressed crab meat
to the cleaned shells and garnish each
with thin slice of lemon, cut in two
pieces. and two or three green sprigs
of parsley.
Crab meat may be prepared in the
same way heated, then returned to the
shells, and eaten hot.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE HAIR
If Neglected, 1t viii Take Many
Months to Restore 1t to Proper
Degree of Beauty.

A great many men, and not few
women, neglect their hair shamefuliy
until a diseased condition, such as
dandruff. falling hair or an excess OF
oil. calls their attention to the TACT
that the scalp is in urgent need OF
care. Then, after week or Two OF
scalp massage or the rubbing IN o.
prescribed tonic, they expect the halr
which has been neglected for years
to regain all its original glory.
This. of course. cannot be done.
Thu damage done by years of neglect
cannot be wiped out in few weeks
time. 1t will probably be at least
few months before permanent I'M
provement can take place. The thing
to do is to take care of your hair
before it is too late. Start now.
Brush the hair thoroughly each
night to remove the dust acquired
during the day, and after that take
another brush and stroke it briskiy
from. the crown of the head to the end
of the strand, to start the circulation
At least a hundred strokes should be
given each night. This will give the
hair a gloss and nothing else.
Massage is excellent for Starting the
| circulation. Purchase some reliable
| tonic rub this into the scalp, not the
hair. always rubbing with a circular
motion s-om the edge Of the scalp te
the center of the head. After the en-
tire scalp has been gone over place
the elbows on table, with the finger:

movement all over the head.
