Vari-colored, checkered patterns in printed
linens are also seen in great variety this sea

For floor coverings, the woven wood-pulp
fibre rugs, that suggest mating but have
closer weave and are more durable than the
cheaper grades, are unquestionably the most
satisfactory Substitutes for III: heavy rugs
that have been removed and laid aside tor
winter use. The fibre rugs are shown with
neutral colored centres and colored striped
borders, and are made in several sizes at very
reasonable cost These can be cleaned by
wiping with damp cloth. The rag rugs, in
solid colors with lowered borders, and those
of the hit and miss" weave are also desirable
for summer use, but soil easily and are rather
hard TO clean. Checkered rugs should be used
sparingly.
In the matter of curtains only the simplest
washable cotton materials should be used.
There is a growing disposition to use no cur
tains at all in summer, for with screens. that
are yearly becoming more and more neces-
sity in the city, they only tend to shut out the
air and with the added protection OF awnings
are really superhuous Overdraperies OF chintz
to match the coverings used throughout the
room are, however, desirable and do not act
as screen. for if one would have eosey
homelike room, the overdraperies with val
ance give the window opening its proper set
ting and without them the room looks bare
Now that it is possible to have the English
glazed chintz rehnished or 'recalendered' here
in America this will be found especially dc
sirable for summer use, as it can be readily
wiped of with damp cloth when soiled and
until such time as the glaze has disappeared.

Most women imagine that they are buying
things for the beauty and comfort of their
homes. This is not true. They are buying
things because there is delightful excitement
in bargain hunting and in purchasing charming
things. And for the moment there is that hyp-
notism in a sale that makes us think we are
really being economical by buying something
we do not want and may never be able to use
Men sometimes have this same hypnotsm.

along isolated lines. They meet their down
fall before a variation Of one object. and this
is not so disastrous TO the house and little
more humorous; but the housekeeper through
the bright art of the advertiser and the cheer
full aspect of the department store, is lured into
manifold purchases that clutter her house and
clutter her spirit.
This does not mean that we advocate spend
ing less money than the average woman GOES
spend on her home but it should be spent III
a more concentrated way; she should buy bet
ter and more durable and more beautiful furni-
ure furniture that will be an heirloom; she
should buy fewer rugs OF finer quality each
one a priceless picture of itself; and this is not
nearly so difficult as it seems. If you know
good rugs you can find them in almost every
citv or town. and you can have beautiful ones

warm and comforting, can be gained by the
use OF transparent colors-tea color, yellowish
brown and, most interesting Of all, madras
with the background of yellow or orange or
red or black with brilliant flowers standing out
in the design. All that is necessary with these
curtains is to give them careful shaking once
a month and for years you have their beauty
without laundry or without sacrifice.
In speaking of the furniture l should have
mentioned the fact that the first requisite OF
wisely selected furniture is no upholstery. If
you want rich cooring use rugs that can be
taken up easily and shaken, but do not fill your
house with anything so unsantary and so
capable of making work as upholstered
furniture.

seeking in your home is beauty, 1t is not ira

although it breaks tradition.
There are two things essential for beautiful
ROOM furniture good in construction and out

The cleaning of the closets is the next con-

caution that has become more and more the

Heavy woolen wearing apparel and turs

HOUSEKEEPING should be the sim
II plest easiest, most enjoyable thing IN
n u the world. 1t is our own fault when
this isn't true. OF course do not mean house
keeping along that trail to the hospital and
the insane asylum known as the old-tashioneo
farmhouse; I mean housekeeping in the mod

If we avail ourselves OF the opportunities al

humorously. and with all the brain that she
would put into any business that interested
her. There is no reason in the world why
home should not be as completely and as sat

Two things can bring about a smooth

elimination. In fact, it is almost enough to
say organization, because you cannot organize
well without intelligent elimination And this
brings us right down to the point that most
women, with or without servants spend nine
'enths Of their waking hours buying and taking
care Of wholly useless articles OF furniture
The overcrowded house is burden to every
one in it; it presses comfort back to the wall;
is mental and physical strain, and real
