DAMP DAYS IN SPRING.

There are to be had in the shops
small glass salt shakers that are fitted
with glass, perforated tops that screw
into position. These are especially use
ful in the damp days that always come
in the spring, after the furnace fires
are first discontinued. For it Is then
that salt becomes moist and sticky. AS
the salt collects the moisture in the air
it causes the silver top of the salt
shaker to oXidiZe. Every housekeeper
knows that it is physical impossible
ity to keep Silver-topped salt shakers
bright in damp weather. and this is the
reason. The little g1ass-topped shakers
obviate this trouble and are a time
saving introduction.
There are many ways of keeping salt
from sticking in damp weather. One
way is to mix the salt with cornstarch
or flour. but. of course. this WeakenS

THE NEW BLOUSES.

| There are a good many things to notice
about the new blouses There was a day
| when any woman would attempt to make
| a shirt waist. Perhaps she was afraid to
tackle her frocks. Even a simple sum-
mer one seemed too difficult for her mex
perience. But she never hesitated at a
shirt waist. OF course she could make
that.
| Today there are many women who
would rather attempt simple evening
| frocks and house frocks than waists. The
waist has many details of finish that it
| is difficult for the inexperienced to imi-
tate The frock for house or evening
wear is simpler. Its folds and fullness.
panniers and tunics cover up many de-
fects due to ineXperience.
Nevertheless, there are still some per-
sons brave enough to make blouseS for
themselves. Now that linen blouses are
worn again. of simple. shirt waist FORM
they are good work for the home sewer
They must be neatly made. But the ma
terlal Is easy to work with and only neat
stitching and Va careful matching Of
notches and tracings in the pattern is
necessary to make them successful.
Many of the new blouses are made
without pep1ums or the little extensions
of material below the waist line to hold
them down under the skirt. The mate
rial below the waist is cut off and the
bottom OF the blouse is turned in an
inch-wide hem. Into this wide elastic is
run. This holds the lower edge of the
blouse snugly about the waist. under the
skirt. and at the same time keeps it from
adding bulk to the hips. .Iust why this
finish should have come in at a time
when the size Of the hips is exaggerated
1t is difficult to tell. But it is here and
it is good innovation
In some of the new crepe de chine and
chiffon waists needlework 1addering or
beading. the sort that is used to hold lin
gcrie seams together, is stitched into the
seams. 1t is most effective finish. The
edges are trimmed off and it is stitched
in the seams of the blouse at the
shoulder. around the arms and about the
collars and cuffs
A little bead embroidery is used on
some of the newest blouses. One attrac-
tive blouse of white chiffon shows a
small motif repeated half a. dozen times
on the front in gold beads Bead work
is easy to do and gives distinctive
touch to the waists on which it is used.

Household Helps.

Before it is time for moths to make

simple precaution: the. night before you
sweep a room, sprinkle it all over with

sweeper. This will help to keep all pests
