Cleaning Hard Wood Floors.

Dust your hardwood ffoors-whether
painted, vanished. stained, shellacked or
waxed-daily with a long-handled, dry,
dustless mop. Such mops are to be had
at comparatively little cost. They are
chemically treated so that they pick up
all dust.
Once every three weeks, or semi
monthly If necessary. 20 over the floor
with an oil mop to clean and polish it.
Sometimes it is necessary to give heel
marks or scratches rub or two with
mop in between the regular periods for
polishing. When the mops become too
dusty for use they can be washed with
out injury to their chemical or other
qualities.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The love of wom-
en- for sunshade is varying. 1t is
amazing how negligent we are of the first
aid against the sun when in the OPEN
Our journeying to the tropics and our &C
QUESTION of tropical lands have not taught
us the necessity of the parasol if we
would avoid the i'll effect of sun on our
heads.
But the advent of the new kind of
parasol. which has a Japanese form Gov
cred with lovely laces and embroideries.
has captivated the fancy, and again this
accessory has become fashionable But
the styles of other days have given place
to the more primitive fashioning adopted
centuries ago by the Japanese and the
Chinese.
A return to this shape has been hover
ing over US for year or two, but the
revival was definite last February during
the season in Cairo and the Riviera,
where. one often sees the advance fash
ions for the spring and sometimes for the
summer. This season it was so rainy
and disagreeabie along the Mediterranean
coast that one saw the new things first
in Paris in February, and much later in
Cannes and Monte Carlo,
But one of the fashions advanced there
was the Japanese parasol 1t was not
in gayly colored paper. as il should have
been on seashore sands with mountains
behind and million flowers to chime in
with it,. but 1t was of embroidered Jap
anese crepe. This was the next best
thing in artistic merit, hut when it was
later followed by parasols of MARITIME
silk there were many who thought the
idea admirable.
1t is true that these futurist silks are
variable in their beauty even for a thing
like a sunshade but If one searches Well
one can always find 8 brilliant design
and have a sunshade built to suit one S
environment. Women are beginning to
learn that in this Hes the crux of good
dressing.

You can keep your lace curtains from
blowing out of the window or against the
dusty fly screen by fastening a thin cord
or wire from one side of the window
frame to the other about six inches from
the bottom. When the draught begins
to suck out the soft material the ends
are caught by the cord and go no farther.

Parasols of Paper.

employ, for any fashion that is both con-

these sunshades are not cheap and yet
not easy to find.

When cooking cabbage or caulifower
do not cover the saucepan. 1t makes the
vegetable tough and discolored. Put 4
small piece OF stale bread or crust on
the top and it will absorb all the dis

improved by the addition to the water
of the merest suspicion of bread soda, a
level teaspoonful Of sugar and a half
teaspoonful of salt. Let the water cover
the vegetables well and do not put them
in until it is bubblng all over. Then let
them down in small quantities and by de-

cold mass will not cool the water! Have
