We have arrived at a period OF dress

one elects to wear it at, say, g O'Clock

THE cleaning OF wardrobes and
closets and bureaus should be &C
complished before the regular house
cleaning is undertaken Choose a
sunny day and hang all the clothing
from the closet out to air, brushing
each article well before putting back
in place. Remove all boxes, shelves
and drawers.
Dust them well and wash those which
are of wood in soap and water. using
plenty of ammonia. While they are
drying. sweep the walls with a broom
covered with a clean cloth. Sweep
the floors, then wash the woodwork
and the floors When all are dry. ap-
ply turpentine or common salt to every

spices in each drawer to keep away
the moths.
Never whitewash the walls of a
closet or you will have to brush every
article that touches them. If you
have moved into a house where the
closet walls have been whitewashed.
tack clean sheets to the walls before
hanging up your garments.

WHEN the marking of time by any

PM

"xdEN the marking OF uIhe ny any
w thing Sc accurate as the sun dial
was still a modern invention Epi-
, Gurus. who lived in the latter half OF
the fourth century 3. c., called sun dials
"a fine invention to hinder us from for
getting to dine
For Just such a purpose the modern
sun dial is useful. -..
OF course we have clocks that gently
| remind US to dine to dress, to dance and
to work. But when we are in the garden
we usually leave our clocks. and our
| watches. too, behind US. We are not IA
miiar with the lights and shadows that
tell the time to a woodsman We know
it is the middle of the day when the sun
stands overhead, and all of US recognize
sunset and sunrise. But without a time

Presumably We could fasten an alarm
clock up in the pergola or hang a dollar
watch from the Crane arbor. we should
have to run out of doors at a stated time
each day to wind them, but at least we
should be able to tell time, until the
dampness rusted the mechanism of these
| modern timepieces to such point they
refused to go.
There is something incongruous about
| a clock of the modern sort in garden,
however. and the ancient sun dial, made
in the most modern method. is the clock S
ideal substitute.
There are various complicated attach
ments to the ordinary dial that make II
a perfect timepiece. But for the purposes
of most gardens the simple dial is enough
By 1t we can at least tell when 1t is time
for dinner.
The ordinary dial can be had in either
one of two forms-in the vertical dial. to
fasten on a wall. or in the dial which is
mounted fiat on a pedestal or standard OF
some sort.
The face of the dial can be had either
In brass or in slate.
In one old-fashioned, brick-walled gar
den the sun dial is of the vertical sort
mounted on the garden wall SO that il
faces the south. 1t is a replica, in brass,
| of an old dial, with a legend n an ap-
propriate sort at the top.
In a garden fitted with a Grecian per-

TO TRIM WITH BRAIDING.

back stitches. 1t is easier to braid with
sewing silk, and the shade should match
the braid perfectly. Do not full the
braid, nor stretch when sewing. When
finishing, pierce an opening with a still
etto and push the cut end Of the braid
through to the wrong side of the ma
terial, making a neat finish. Fasten firm
Nv SO that 1t will not ravel.
Many patterns are intended for a COM
bination of embroidery or beadwork with
braiding. The interspersing of effective
stitches and the use of several colors IN
a design add to the richness of the pat
tern. DO the beadwork or embroidery
while the fabric is held in a hoop, and
before the braidwork is begun.
Some designs have inset patches OF
TRANSPARENT net, darned or beaded, and
held in place by the braid which sur
rounds them. Beads can readily be
sewed upon thin material if the thread is

other.
Tracing paper, through which the pat
tern shows, is needed when braiding on
net This should be basted against the
back of the net. Also haste several lines
of stitches through the center of the net.
Back stitches are necessary when sewing
braid upon any open-meshed material
For chiffon work there may be fewer
back stitches but there must be more &C
curate basting upon the temporary paper
foundation.
To follow a pattern without stamped
design, use measuring-card with the
spaces accurately marked. After little
practice with the card one soon acquires
facility and skill In original work. In de-
veloping unstamped patterns beads or
embroidery stitches are added after the
braiding is completed.
When braid of two-tones is interlaced,
two strands are carried along side by
side, and two-threaded needles are used.
The standing of a fiat braid on its edge is
extremely pretty in appearance when
combined with fiat braiding. and not diff
cult to do after few trials.

the bronze disk is sunk into the face Of

The dials can be nicely adjusted to the
characteristics Of any garden. and that
is one of their beauties. the style OF tne
dial itself the style of the pedestal or
other mount and the motto that is en-
graved on the mount or the dial all lend
themselves to the individuality OF the
garden where they are placed.
Almost any price can be spent for the
dial and its mount for they can be made
to order, or bought in stock designs. So.
if you have hundreds of dollars to spend,
you can invest in a hand-engraved slate
nedestal. If YOU have little money to
spend, you can buy cast brass dial. Of
simple design, that marks only the hours,
for as little as six dollars.
