Dainty Night Robes.

Have you noticed the lovely niGhtgowns
fashioned of crepe de chine? If pur-
chased in the shops. they are extremely
expensive, but can be made at home for
about one-half the price asked. Select a
good quality of white pale pink. or blue
crepe de chine and a pattern. Using this
as a guide. cut out the crepe de chine and
haste the sectione together. Make French
seams at the sides and blindstitch the
hem. About the neck and sleeves stitch
a narrow hem, and to this whipstitch a
frill of lace or narrow silk fringe. The
nightgowns are much daintier IL made
entirely by hand, and as the crepe de
chine is an easy material to sew, this
will not be an unwelcome task
The front can be adorned with medal
lions of lace or with monogram en-
broidered with silk of the same color.

TO SAVE POLISHED SURFACE
Homemade Plateaus May Be Fash4
loned at Home by Any One With
Little Ingenuity.

Very attractive disks for use under
vase Of flowers, a pitcher of ice
water or the punch bowl can be made
at home at trifling expense by any
woman who is in the least ingenious.
These glass plateaus will be found
especially useful in hot weather, as
they will prevent moisture from soil
ing any polished surface.
Have a piece of heavy glass cut in
the shape of a hexagon, each side
measuring about five inches. Get a
small piece of cretonne having a fig
ure about the same size. Lay the
glass over it and tack in place by
small amount of glue along the edge.
Bind the edge with gilt gimp about
an inch wide, by sewing lightly at
each corner it will stay in place. The
cost of materials is as follows: One
yard gimp. 25 cents; one-half yard of
cretonne, Is cents. The price of the
glass varies according to thickness.

HINTS "WORTH WHILE"
TO SAVE TIME AND WORK IN
THE HOUSEHOLD.
RenoVatine Of Old Wooden Floors a
Matter Of Easy Arrangement
Treatment to Get Best Results
From the OIL Lamps.

Old wooden floors are a woman's
trial They can be improved this way:
Dissolve one pound of glue in two
gallons of water. Stir into this
enough fine sawdust to make a thick
paste and fill the cracks with 1t. The
paste may be colored to match the
wood.
Or you can try this: Fill the
cracks with putty. One can make
seed-oil together and kneading 1t un-
til the paste is smooth. The putty
may also be colored to match the
wood.
Some persons soak finely shredded
paper in water and boil 1t until 1t
is soft pulp, and to every two gallons
add one pound of glue. The cracks
must be filled solid and even with the
boards. Then stain or paint.
Soak lamp wicks in vinegar, then
dry them thoroughly to keep the lamp
from smoking.
Alcohol will take out candle grease.
Hold hot flatiron a few minutes
above a white spot on furniture. 1t
will soon disappear.
Discoloration on china and baking
dishes and custard cups can be re-
moved with whiting.
Brooms will last longer If dipped
occasionally in boiling suds.
Always wash veal and mutton in
weak vinegar before cooking.
A coating of good machine oil
rubbed over the flatirons and the
bright metal parts of the sewing ma
chine will keep the rust away.
Chores must be done, but boy
and girl must have time for some
fun If they are to be happy.
Never take a stepNor climb a stair
that is not absolutely necessary. We
waste much strength in useless pot
tering.
1t is not the woman who works the
hardest who prospers most, but the
one who works to the best advantage.
When farm folk take a vacation
they should not go to another place
in the country but to the city. People
from the city go to the country for a
change of scene, which means rest.
Farm folks ought to go to the city
for the same reason.
Disease often turks in the sink or
the bath tub pipes. Hot water and
lye, carbolic acid or ammonia will
keep them clean.
Muriatic acid will remove dark
stains on the porcelain sing or bath
tub.

Desirable Floor Finish.

When the house is having its
brightening-up, the floors need their
share Of attention. A floor that is
vanished and rubbed is satisfactory
both In wear and appearance. 1t is
durable and clean, and If wear shows
in the most used spots, little more
varnish can easily be added. The shiny
finish of unrubbed varnish is not de-
sirable, but the rubbing down is easily
done, Pulverized pumice stone with
crude oil or water is used. applied
with a bit of heavy felt or burlap.
Only a little rubbing is necessary to
destroy the high gloss; but moro rub
bing will produce a rich, smooth. vel
