three little loops on either side and

loop of cord is attached to the

from a nail in the wall or the post OF

The papers are held in their places
by a broad band Of elastic which is
run through two slits cut on either
side aud the ends securely sewn
together at the back. The position of
these two Sits is clearly indicated in

The little article would also be very
useful for hanging upon the wall by

Painting the House.

The odor of fresh paint indoors will
last for many days and even weeks,
especially II the weather is not favor
able for drying 1t. Rooms should be
heated to assist the drying process.
and buckets of water should be placed
in all rooms to absorb poisonous
gases, as water quickly absorbs all
impurities of the air.
Rooms that retain the paint odor
can be freshened IL sugar Is burned
in them. 1t is preferable to disinfect-

An extremely simple and practical
rubber novelty comes in the shape OF
a bunch of violets and is designed for
the protection of a gown when the
natural flowers are worn.
It is made of green rubberized silk,

outlined with a green wire. When
worn it effectually prevents the pene-
tration Of any moisture to the gown.
The wire edge permits Of shaping the
holder to the bouquet proper and the
latter Is then attached to the corsage
or wherever else desired.
