Rhea, 21s1 North sSd street, Philadelphia,
Tor the following suggestion:
To clean piano keys, squeeze the
Juice of lemon into n cup and with
small piece of flannel and rub It we'll
on the keys. Leave for little while
and then polish with O piece of chamois
To clean the keys when the latter have
become bad color, dampen q cloth with
eau de cologne, dip into little finely
powdered whiting and rub the keys one
at time, then polish with an old soft
silk handkerchief or leather. The quickest
way and the best is to rub the piano keys
occasionally with new milk, then polish
with leather or silk drster. BY this
means, the plano keys are constantly kept
nice. If the keys have been allowed to
get into bad condition they can be re-
stored with a weak solution of nitric acid
and soft water. in the proportion of half
acid to five ounces OF water. Apply with
a soft brush, taking care that only
small quantity of the liquid Is placed upon
the keys and then wipe off with a clean
piece OF flannel molstened with water
prize of so cents has been awarded to
Mrs. u. French; 3lT Vine street Camden,
n. j., for the following suggestion:
Have you ever tussled in vain to with
draw rusty screw2 Just apply a very
not iron TO the head OF the screw and
use the screwdriver while tho head is still
hot It will come out easily.
A prize of 80 cents has been awarded to
q. II. b., Box 720, Haddon Heights, n. j.,
for the following suggestion:
l save oil the initials from the corners
of my worn-out handkerchlefs to put them
on my lingerie. Cut them either square
or oval in shape and featherstitch them
to the garment. They may also be edged
with lace, and look very we'll, indeed.
A prize of 80 cents has been awarded to
Mrs. S. Bruce Chase, Pen Argyll, Pa, for
the following suggestion:
A great time-saver for tho mother of
small sons is the use of a "snap" hook
and eye to secure the kneeband of bloomer
pants. If the buckle Is removed from the
band and sewed to the strap and Snap"
sewed underneath at the proper place to
hold the band securely it cannot be de-
tected. and will save the almost constant
sewing on of buckles. The "snap" also
makes dressing and undressing much sim
pier and quicker than the daily adjusting
OF straps and buckles.

low-creatures. from life, from love and
from happiness. He wants to marry. tc
have a home and family, he yearns fol
permanent ties, and ne begins to hate
and detest the sea. But Il Ia too late to
turn back, he argues. What would people
say? What would his family say? What
about these old traditions7 He tells him
self that he would be a coward to give
up his chosen profession. So he sticks to
It, and he goes to make yet another
square peg in the round hole.
Then there Is the city clerk who hates
the routine OF the office with q hate that
amounts to loathlng. There he sits at his
desk, like a weary prisoner chained to
his task, and his thoughts are out In the
open. somewhere beyond the city skies
and gray roofs and tho noise of traffic.
He is yearning for tho wide wind-swept
spaces of tho world, for fresh cold breezes
and wild expanses OF sea and sky. "If I
were only a sailor and could roam round
Gods universe, what happiness that
would bei'' he is saying to himself. "Eow
1 hate this miserable office, this detestable
desk and the dead, soul-killinE monotony
of it alll But 1 can't quit! There arc
others depending on mo. Tve-got-to-
stayw
And so he stays. But no is another
square peg in the round hole, and never
in this world will he have his ambitions
gratlhed.
To talk to tho unhappy and the suffer
ing OF resignation Is often futile and
nearly always on impertibence. But let
them remember that there are greater and
finer things in this world than mere hap
plness. And somehow, somewhere, IL not
in this world, then in another. there will
be for these a greater compensation and
a finer chance than they have ever had
before.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
PAPER CUT-OUTS FOR A RAINY DAY

THIS is the month when every one is
i talking garden. What to plant, how
to plant and where to plant it are the
main things people think about appar-
emily. And, funny thing. the city people
who can't have gardens are sometimes
the greatest takers. I suppose they are
so sure of not having garden that they
feel perfectly safe when they say what
they would do and plant and grow II they
had onel That's the way things go some
times, you know!
Even you boys and girls have your own
little patch, If you can; and you are
planning just what you will grow on 1t
and how faithfully you will keep down
the troublesome weeds.
But some days in April 1t has to rain.
But while you are waiting, why don't
you make a paper garden? Wouldn't that
be fun?
You say you don't know how? Well,
you'll know in n minute!
Listen
Collect as many pieces of clean white
paper as you can find-letter paper or
tablet paper Is the best kind for II is
stifr enough to hold its shape nicely.
Then get some small sharp scissors, and
you are ready to begin.
Now spread out your paper on the table
in front of you. Sort the sheets into diff
ferent piles according to size. Perhaps
you have used envelopes (ths inside of
an envelope is clean and can be used, you
know, or some pieces OF business paper.

: your paper is just fresh tablet paper
Whatever it may be, sort into sizes and
cut the pieces into squares.
Take up one square. Fold It into halves,
then into quarters, then into eightha
Then cut the folded outside edge in a
pretty curving shape. Unfold 1t and see
what flower-like shape you have! Isn't
It pretty?
Now fold and cut another piece and
open it out You must make each ore q
little different; cut the curving edges in
little different design. so that 1t will BE-
dlfterent from the others, just as eacn
flower is unlike its mates.
AS you fold and cut think of all the
flowers you have ever seen. Can you re-
member the shapes of their petals?' II
you can, you will have little patterns in
your mind that will be splendid to cut
by And If you can't remember, don't
mind! Just make up some pretty shapes
Or If you don't like to make up things,
look In picture and see some pictured
fiowers-you can cut by them.
When you have all the paper cut Into
flowers. open them up nicely; spread them
out neatly on the table. Don't they LOOK
pretty?
And now they must be arranged into
flower beds. Sort them into piles accord
ing to the pattern they were cut by. Put
the ones that look like roses together;
and the daisies. they go in another pile
Sort them all out. Then arrange your
rainy day garden out on the table. Isn't
It fun?

AROUND THE BARGAIN COUNTERS
Street Suits and House Gowns

Dark colorngs. plain materials and
simplicity of line are evident in the
new spring street suits. There was, per-
haps, never a season when the smart
woman wore such conservative and yet
such becoming costumes, and It is safe
to say that the fall styles will reflect
the same tendencies. Navy blue serge,
gabardine and woolen poplns are already
being purchased by wholesale sultmakers
for the fashionable fall styles.
White serge and gabardine are being
shown in all the shops now for wear In
early summer. These are most becoming
to the average woman, and most reason
ably priced. One large department store
Is selling a neat suit of cream-colored
serge, with a high-waisted coat, pointed
in the front. The front of the coat is
simply trimmed with two triple patch
pockets and pearl buttons, with a mar
row black-and-white belt at the high
waist line. The skirt haI a wide flare
and pockets also. The prize is $3.50.
Silk poplin and MORE suits are also
seen. but the prices are rather pro-
hibitlve at present, A stunning navy
blue poplin suit was seen in a small
Chestnut street shop the other day. The
coat was short and pointed, like many
models seen this season. The points were
outlined by a design in Chinese en-
broidery also done in navy blue. The

skirt was box-plaited and stitched half
way down the front, falling in wide godet
folds at the bottom. The price was
$3.50.
Light street gowns are more reasonably
priced. although the favored materials
are almost too cool to wear without n
coat just now. Pongee is by far the most
popular fabric and many attractive styles
made Of 1t are to be seen. One shop Is
selling a gown of natural pongee shade,
with q braided coat of Antwerp blue,
with a wide satin girdle of the same
color. The full skirt has two ropes of
the pongee at the hips, and is made to
stand out by a pleasing contrast about
the feet. Tho price is Sl9.75.
Another very good looking house gown
was made Of dove gray crepe de chine
on very plain lines The blouse was
made in simple shlrtwaist style with
heavy white fatlle vestee with upstand-
ing collar. This buttoned down the front
with little pointed cut steel buttons. The
skirt was fitted at the hips and fared
at the bottom. The price was also $1975.
Another plain gown was selling In
certain little shop for S12.5O. 1t came In
taupe or moss green taffeta, with a corded
Jacket, edged with ball trimming. Ball
buttons to match were placed in the
front of the Jacket. with large slit but
tonholes on the opposite side. The skirt
had three ropes at the hips.

To Wash Blouses and Laces

First make a lather OF a good pure
soap and warm water. Hot water will
shrink the net and lace hopelessly out
OF shape. Rinse the blouse in the lather
several times squeezing and patting 1t,
but never rubbing it Rinse 1t in cold
water twice and dry it in a moderate
temperature. Never peg out a lace
blouse. Put It over a clothes horse, and
change its position constantly. or you
will have 1t dragging out OF shape
If you are lucky enough to possess any
bits OF real old lace, don't, whatever you
do. try to clean them by ordinary wash
ing. Pin them out on a shirt board, or
any fiat surface covered with a thickness
OF flannel and shake over them some
powdered French chalk, or magnesa
powder, and leave them for day. Then
shake out all the powder. II the laces
are very much discolored, you can often
bleach them by damping and leaving
them out in the sun. All laces should
be ironed between cloths. on a thickness
OF flannel, and with hot iron. They
ought to be damp, and you must pull
them gently into position as you work.
otherwise you will find II impossible TO
shape them afterWard. Tho best way
TO clean a length OF insertion or edging
when you want to keep its shape, Is to
wrap 1t carefully round a bottle, and
cover the whole with muslin. Then rub
IL over with soap and boil the bottle in
