TO KEEP AIR IN
THE HOME CLEAN

OF course, the average housewife is
familiar with the old saw, IAN ounce
Of prevention Is worth a pound of cure"
She can do quite a number of things to
keep her house air from becoming as
dust-laden as it surely will If she does
not interest herself in these simple de-
vices.
When wind is kicking up" great
clouds Of dust, let her close the win
dows while the agitation lasts. It will
serve the double purpose of keeping out
lot OF flying dust and causing what
dust is in the room to settle and SO be
easy to remove.
Let her train the various members Of
her household to sneeze and cough into
their handkerchiefs. Then the moisture
resulting from such exertions will not
be sprayed into the air, nor. in the case
OF illness. more or less deadly germs ac-
company the spray, and later become
floating bacterial dust.
Let her set her foot down on any of
family brushing his or her shoes or
clothing in the house. Dust in its most
disgusting form is brought into living
rooms on shoes and clothing, likewise
swans OF germs, and though a son
runs a whisk broom over his coat in
the seclusion OF his own room. bacteria
nevertheless will escape through the key
mole and travel from room to room, all
over the house. This is another trait

WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.
Hometown Chances Two Artist
Sisters.
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.

A friend has just told me of two
sisters with a talent for art who have
made success of their work
They live in small town about forty
miles from the nearest city. where a
good many Automobiles pass through,
and where there is summer contln-
gent. Neither of them could paint or
draw sufficiently well to make a sue
cess of pictures or illustrating, vet
they did not want to push aside the
talent they had and take a commercial
position.
So they hired a tiny little shop on
the main street. with a window where
they could display their work to ad-
vantage. And then one of them set
10 work to carve out of wood. and then
to gild, wooden picture frames of diff
ferent sizes. She does exquisite work
make any size frame to order. and If
preferred follow given design. But
most of the designing is her own,
taken from the finest old models.
Sometimes she paints the frames in
the Italian renaissance style, dull blue
and reds and gold and greens, and
some of the frames are round, others
oval, others square. All are beauti-
full, and the workmanship perfect.
Her sister paints water color sards
pave ediuS VI many varieties birth
day and Easter cards Christmas cards
ana cards for every anniversary. For
these she makes cunning little verses
or selects quotations. She gets orders
for them from a big statioper's com
pany in the city. in addition to those
she keeps in her shop. She has all
she can do. working several hours a
day. Between the two arts the sisters
make an excellent income, besides
working at what they love and pro-
ducing something lovely under their
own management.

used in combination with black velvet
hats of all descriptions. Sometimes
the sole trimming of big hat will be
"a big silver gauze rose. Sometimes
gilt or silver cord will be bound about
the crown and loosely knotted at one
side. Again. a transparent brim OF
gold or silver lace will have puffed
or shaped velvet crown.
Fur, too, is used on black velvet hats
and will probably be more usual when
cooler weather comes.
One large black hat has fringe of
monkey fur fiat on the brim with a
silver band about the crown and sill
Yer ornament. at one side.
Other Trimmings.
White flowers of various sorts are
used on some of the black velvet hats
and pansies are as much in vogue as
they were two months ago. Big, deep
pansies they are, of velvet usually, in
all the loneliness of natural pansy col
oring.
A novelty is white kid rose-not a
stiff, shiny rose of the sort of kid mil
liners gardenias have been made of
for season or two, but a soft. luster-
less kid-as soft as a suade kid glove.
This rose is huge and is finished with
a big black velvet button in the cen
ter. 1t is placed as the sole trimming
on the left side of big black velvet
Spanish sailor.
Colored flowers and colored feathers
light, pale colors-are also used to
trim BLACK velvet hats. and one de-
cidedly striking hat, a big sailor. is
brown stems of deep pink peach bios
sons that look actually as if they had
been broken from Towering tree five
minutes ago.

This autumn, when we are going from

we had tiny bonnets perched on the
