 Blouse Styles Varied
 The varied styles of the blouse at present are long departure from those that We have hitherto known. Embroidery and floral designs and a blending of white tissues, plain or polka-dotted, are conspicuous charac- teristics.
 The tea gown has undergone an evolution. It has become a garment to be donned hastily, decorative, but with much less garniture than for merly. Sometimes one sees a simple ''redingote,' loosely fitted, embroid cred with swansdown and with sat uncovered buttons.

PROTECTING THE PARTY GOWN

Nearly every girl realizes that the average party gown gets more hard usage when hanging in the crowded wardrobe than while it is being ac- tually worn.
 As most girls have far less ward robe space than they need, the best means of protecting the party froc'l from contact with the workaday garments is to make a special cover for it of lawn, dimity, muslin or q similar dainty and sheer material. Having measured the length of the gown from the shoulders to skirt hem, take two full widths of the chosen covering. material and shape an end of each one of them into shoulders and the half of neck. These shoulders and the long, straight sides of the cover are then scanned together, the bottom is hem- med, the neck is neatly bound with ribbon bowed in front at the top of two short silken cords, from which depend two small square or oval sachets.
 When the gown is adjusted to it's individual hanger and the muslin cover drawn smoothly over its folds and draperies, it is in condition to be as nicely kept as it is pos sible to keep any unboxed garment.

AT HOUSECLEANi TIME.

Almost every woman thinks she is called upon to do little varnish- ing when house cleaning is done, yet comparatively few women know exactly how the work is done. Many are the pieces of furniture ruined by the inexperienced hand.
 In vanishing any piece of goods always wash it with water sufficient ly strong with alkali to cut the grease. Dry thoroughly and give the wood thin coating of varnish. Never drag the brush when the varnish thickens; never go over one place after it has been vanished.
 Be certain the varnish is proper ly mixed; if it thickens while work ing, add little turpentine. If the first coat does not look we'll after the work is done, do not go over il the second time to remedy any de- fleets. Leave the work alone until it is thoroughly dried, and revarnish. Never varnish any oil-filled furniture, for this kind must be treated with oil polishes.

Table decoration is an art that more housekeepers should cultivate. for there are very few persons who are not consciously or unconsciousN affected by surroundings. A simple meal may appear to be much more than it really is if the table looks pretty.
 In these days of dainty and attrac- tive china. that can be secured a; small prices, there is little excuse for the use of heavy ware Pretty dishes add much to the general ef- feet. though the most important part of the whole scheme is that every article shall be placed where il helps most with form and proportion.
 Balance All Dishes.
 For instance. there should be two salt cellars. however small the table is. One of these goes at one side, near the centre. the other opposite to it. diagonally. That at once makes balance. There are few young housekeepers whose wedding gifts have not included some fancy silver spoons. One of these laid either side of the salt makes distinctly ornamental addition 10 the who'll" II is neither necessary. nor to be eN' pected. that these spoons shall be used They are to be regarded stmp ly as establishment
 Women who go much to large and formal dinners know that half the elegance imparted to the tables is from the magnificent pieces of sil yer. such as forks and spoons that are not used but lie as ornaments till the end of the meal.

An Attractive DiraiEag Table

If bread is to be put on the table have il cut into cubes. instead of slices. and put on a fancy plate. This may go at one side near the centre. and to balance it on the other side there may be a similar one of jelly, or pickles. The butter should be so placed as to have something to correspond across from il.
 Keeping this idea constantly in mind and having glass and china well washed so that il shines, very charming is the effect which may be given
 But no dinner table should be con sidered complete without flowers. It is senseless to call them an expen- siye luxury. for they should be re 4arded as necessity. Three or four. or even one. will give an air of grace and beauty to the simplest table. It is in this art ofachieN ing much with little that the Japanese excel. The whole effect of flowers is in every way desirable and to b. striven for quite as much as any other grace of life.
 Pleasant Gatherings.
 Meals should be something more than the consumption of food. All work stops at those times and peo- pie meet together. Nothing that can be done should be omitted to make it an occasion of agreeable inter change of thought and conversation. and when this is done not only the body but the mind and nerves are refreshed.

Be careful to brush the teeth up and down instead of across, and use an antlseptic mouth wash of a healing nature before retiring at night.
 When hunting for health eat fruit" This is the advice of well known physician, who claims that most of the ills of the modern wom- an are due to a sameness of diet, which includes an abundance of rich foods and a scarcity of fruit. Fruit, according to this authority, possesses many health giving properties which no other food contains, and unless a plentiful supply of it is included in the daily diet it is difficult and almost impossible to keep ones self in good condition.

and deeds of some of our~anCestors --and we like to forget that we ever had certain brands of auces- tors-but, though they may have worn cloth of gold, or have gone abroad in inIaid armor, for the most part an aristocratic American hog lives better than any one Of them eyer lived. No knight Of Arthur's Table Round lived as we'll as any eighteen-dollar-a-week clerk in the city of Dayton. Those old ancestors of ours were none too clean, and they had some very startling and careless habits.
 It's fine thing to live i'll an age of soap and paint, finer thing to live in any community where these things are religiOusly used. It pays in many ways to be clean. About the only popular thing left in this country that appeals to anyone if it happens to be dirty is a dollar; but the majority prefer clean dollars though we cant deny that they may be tempted That isn't due to tie condition of the dollar, how eyer. It's beacuse Uncle Sam says it's worth a hundred cents even if its face isn't washed.
 In every other sense and relation cleanliness is a personal and civic asset.
 So lIr. KnOcker, go chase your seIt-no, go and paint everything in sight, except your mother-in-law. She probably has learned how to do that job for herself.
 Clean up and paint up, or shut up if you cant do anything but growl. There is a scripture that fits your case if you want to con ttnuc dirty and rusty. It leads:
