SOME HELPS FOR WASHDAY
Several Simple Ways by Which Busy
Housewife Can Save Time
and Strength.

When taking clothes off the line
fold smoothly the wash cloths, bath
towels and hose and lay them away
without ironing. They are just as
good for use as though they were
ironed, and the busy wife needs to
save her time and strength whenever
possible.
Always iron embroidery on the
wrong side so as TO bring out the
pattern.
A tablespoon Of kerosene in, starch
will keep 1t from sticking.
If you scorch an article badly when
ironing. moisten it with lemon juice,
rub In sor,o salt and Icy it in the sun
shine If it is only a slight scorch the
sunshine will remove it.
If possible, sprinkle the clothes the
night before ironing day. The damp
ness will be evenly distributed and
they will iron easily next day.
Black goods will not look shiny and
the white starch will not show on ii
If it is ironed on the wrong side.

No Greater Good in This World Than
Love, Kindness and the Considera-

Politeness that Is bred In the bone

character a resemblance to a flower

the atmosphere in which it develops.

others.

Boys in a family where there are
no girls. owe it to their mother to
help her with the heavy homework
There is nothing degrading in pushing
g. washing machine or turning a
wringer, but on the contrary 1T is hon
orable service. Any boy who will let
his mother do any heavy work that
can be done by him is making a
wrong start in life and is laying up
trouble for somebody's daughter when
he marries her.
Most of us take life too seriously
end fail to see the bright and beauti-
full side of things as we plod along
with our daily work. Cheerfulness
and the ability to be happy and make
those around us happy are not Divine
gifts, but simple heart growths that
can be cultivated at the same time we
cultivate corn and the flowers. They
are crops that pay 1000 per cent.
The most beautiful thing in the
world is a wholesome, sweet-tempered
girl, whose cardinal points are unself-
fishness, cleanliness, neatness and poll
ness-whose natural lovableness is
so irresistible that people swarm
around her like bees around a honey
suckle. She is a tonic to the Ill and
unfortunate. She is the embodiment
of joy, and her friends are legion.
This girl is the one who helps her
mother-who sings at her work-who
| caresses and cheers her father, look
ing after his comfort--who works In
stinctively and quietly without osten-
tation.
She thinks her people are the finest
people in the world and they adore
her as she deserves-Julie Gordon.

to dignity with the ugly word "utili-

with the ages and starlit nights, of
scented love notes flung from the
fower-clad balcony as throbbing
strains rose from the guitar beneath.
These moderns find roof of steel and
glass better than your velvet skies; a
glaring blue-white arc electric light
more in keeping than your mellow sun
sets. And your scented letters of love,
the last of your attributes they have
stripped from you, they are replacing
by his barbarity, the photograph, a
thing that knows so little of you that
1t will not even hide the tender senti-

these cords string more spools, until
about foot Of each is filled. Then
and so on until the four shelves are
all in place. Bring the three cords
together about Is inches above the
top shelf. so that the one on the back
corner will run straight up the angle
of the wall, while the other two slant
back to meet it. These upper pieces
should also be filled with spools A
stout loop at the top will hang the
cabinet safely against the wall, or it
may be allowed to rest on the floor,
and be simply balanced by the upper
loop.
Any size of spools will do to make
this article, but those on which num-
Der 40 thread is wound are about the
best. The spools may be either
gilded or painted, and the shelves
stained, painted or covered. One
pretty cabinet made in this way had
the shelves covered neatly on both
sides with plain white oilcloth, while
the spools were painted light blue,
with a gilt band around the center of
each. The loop at the top was hidden
by a broad bow of blue ribbon. 1t
was dainty enough for any room, and
easily kept clean.
One of the most fascinating collec-

The boy who lives near the water
always likes to collect shells. These
make beautiful cabinet. If each has

of the collection will be much greater

Although much of the value of such
a collection lies il the sentiment con-
nected with 1t, yet the habit of Oh

The board of land commissioners
finds that it must act in accordance
with the wishes of the forestry board.
Most of the forest reserved lands now
being sold are isolated tracts. Some
of the purchasers have in view actual
settlement, while others are buying
land for the timber that is on it. The
forest reserved lands in the northeast
ern part of the state where the for
estry board is planning the principal
reserve, are being sold, most of the
sales being made in the counties of

HAVE AN OLD-FASHIONED AIR
Styles in Nantes Have Gone Back to
Those Popular With Our Grand
mothers.

The old world fabrics have aided IL
producing the real old-fashioned air
in the prettily draped nantes of silks
and chiffons and fascinating nets,
with stiff little bhnches of flowers
scattered over the filmy surface A
thin China silk or chiffon, matching
in tone one of the flowers, may be
used as lining, the color glimmering
through the creamy yelling in a most
artistic manner On some of the more
unusual nantes the designs are de-
veloped on a coarse net in crewels.
These nantes are very vague in
outline, being wound or wrapped
around the figure with the fullness
falling between the shoulders and the
knees. The sleeves-when there are
sleeves-are of kimono cut, or at least
are kimono at the top, with hint
of the bishop sleeve at the cuff Quite
as often there are no sleeves, Sits in
the goods serving as an opening, or
drapings falling in such a way that the
arms may be released. Some of the
mantles are fastened at the waist
line, even lower at one side, and 9TH
ers are wound around the figure and
held up in the front in a seemingly
careless fashion. There is a certain
informally to this latter style which
seems to appeal, for the latest models
for winter are arranged in this way,
the fastening-if there is one-not be.
ing noticeable.
The feature of the new nantes
which are heralding the styles for fall
is the collar, according to a New
York Tribune writer. There is no at
tempt at fitting in the collar. After
the many, many years when the fit Of
the collar made or marred the gar
ment it is a bit startling to learn that
the collar would not fit. The bunchier,
thicker and clumsier the collar is, the
smarter the wrap becomes. Natural
ly, it gives a very thickset look to the
back of the neck. The effect can be
| produced in fur very easily, and,
strange to relate, 1t does not look as
clumsy in the fur One naturally eX.
poets fur collar to be thickset. The
new fur collars are straight pieces Of
the fur which very often only cross
the back of the wrap. Occasionally
they roll toward the front and join
band of fur that is used to outline
the edges.
