INl ONT you know this barrel H@I story? It is about a little girl lS who simply would not pick up
 her things.
 seThe mother had insisted on the child caring for her room as soon as she was old enough, but the results were anything but gratifying.
 "Fhe mother was obliged to make daily pilgrimages to the little room, where she strengthened hastily-spread bed clothes; picked up and put away ribbons, sashes, shoes, and stoek1ngs' hung up hats coats and dresses.
 'She puzzled long and hard and finally hit upon solution.
 "One day the child came into her mothers room most explosively.
 "'What is that old barrel doing in my room? she demanded.
 That. my dear, is for my conve- nience' replied the mother calmly am tired of picking up your things and putting them away, So after this when I find them out of place shall simply drop them into the barrel. You may take them out or leave them in as you please.'
 "'But mother, the old thing looks perfectly horrid. I don't want it in my room The child was ready to cry . it does not have to be used it will be
  to put in it there it stays
 For awhile there was marked inn provement; but little by little the bar rel repository began to fill up.
 Every few days there was a rum mage and emptying to find some mis- laid article; it seemed as if the dis c1pl1ne were failing of it's effect; the child did not in the least mind dig ging into the barrel for what she wanted. One day there was a party and an especially pretty frock for the occasion The next mornng the frock hung over chair just as it had been taken off. It wrung the mothers heart to do it, but she felt this was the Spartan test.
 Another party was imminent; the day came; it was time to go; no sound was heard above stairs. The mother finally went up. Sounds of sobbing came from the child's room; she soft ly opened the door. On the floor lay the party dress, mass of crumpled muslin, lace, and ribbons; on the bed lay disconsOlate little figure; a tear stained face was lifted.
 "'Oh! Mother! You put my best dress in the barrel and now it is ruined'
 Mother is sorry, but you were warned
 "'Oh! I know it! But if you will only take that barrel out I will never.

6NNl IM the housekeeper aware that 1t @ is time to wash her blankets
 and other Woolens. So many women write asking how to wash b1an- kets that few simple directions are given here.
 First, blankets are made of wool, which is a substance particularly af- fected by two thin and rubbing. The wool fibre shrinks when cold or very hot water. The fibre also becomes broken, if squeezed or rubbed too violently.
 The best way to wash blankets, then, is to keep in mind that we can neither squeeze nor wiring them nor use too hot or too cold water without making them shrink Unless there are some very soiled spots it is best to use a soap solution. This is prepared as follows:
 Four quarts cold water; one large bar white soap; shaved; tablespoon fuls borax.
 The soap should be shaved and add ed with the borax to the cold water then heated to boiling or until per fectly liquid. The water for the b1an- kets should be tepid, or about llO de- grees. The tub may be filled partly full of such water and about one quart of the above soap solution used.
 The blankets should then be i'm mersed in this water and washed by gentle squeezing or sousing motion until they appear clean Remove the blankets from this first water and re- peat in two other soap waters, if necessary. The last water should be tepid. but clear, with a half cup of bo- rax added to whiten them still fur ther.
 The blankets should then be gently squeezed or pressed dry. They may be wrung through a wringer if careful ly done, but should never be wrung by twisting.
 The whole washing should be done as quickly as possible, and the blan- kets at once hung in a sunny, windy place. If the two opposite edges of sthe blanket are pinned together after v the manner of large tablesloths, there will be less danger of the blanket dry ing uneven1Y-

 "Yes'm-I can do all your extra work around here-beat rugs, wash windows, fix storm doors, clean off snow, do your garden work, ct cetry. I've got wife and three kiddies that's got to be taken care of, and you bet I don't ask my wife to go out washing! She's got her hands full taking care of me and the kids and that's enough for even a big strong woman like she is.
 "Say-that woman of mine is mighty good. She's making a man of me. used to drink, you know Well, just got the habit.

That was five years ago.

 You see, I got something to work for now, and something to look to at the end of the day. It keeps me. straight. Anyway, I'd do anything for that woman of mine. I couldn't go back on her after her showing me what a good woman's like. Goshs she's good!

So we finally got him to say he'd come for a visit. though he wouldn't promise to stay. He stayed in the city just three days and then he said he was going back on the farm, where he could live in peace and safety.

WALLPAPER Presents Great Problem of

EIT7 HEN bed stands in the corner lkII of 8 room so that one of it's l@@zz4 sides extends directly against
 the wallpaper, the maid should be instructed to pull the bed well away from the wall when it is be- ing made so that the paper will not get soiled from the pulling and smoothing of the covers, or from the contact of the persons clothes who crowds in between bed and wall when smoothing the covers on that side.
 On sweeping days, too, it seems al- most impossible to prevent the marks from dusty fingers from leaving tracks on the light wallpaper, and greasy finger marks are difficult to eradicate. A little French chalk rubbed on the spot will sometimes re- move the worst of the grease spot, but if this fails it is possible to iron out the grease with a hot iron after laying a piece of plotting paper over the spot to absorb the grease as it is absorbed with the heat.
 When having room or hall papered always ask the paperhanger to leave a few scraps of the new paper so that it may be used for patching if the wal is defeaced at any time.

 "Now this is the way I warned the children. I told them that when went into the playroom at night and found it looking like a cyclones path, that I should put everything into the barrel proposed installing. As said in the beginning. believe I shall have order."

SUMMER
 EATABLES
! BY MRs. MccUNE.

eE@Tf OR breakfast hot coffee is al- most always in order in every A home, and if it is also demand
 ed at dinner, it will not take more than ten minutes to prepare and serve it.
 A mould of ice-cpld cereal with fruit and toast will complete a very tasty breakfast. For luncheon there are a number of cold beverages that will ap- peal to the appetite-tea, coffee choc- olate. butterm1Ik, lemonade, matted milk are all good; vegetable salad of string beans, tomatoes or some other refreshing vegetable, with a French dressing made of good oil, will answer nicely for substantial, and with bread and butter and a dish of ripe fruit with cream and sugar will be all that any one could possibly require. If one hot dish is desired, a corn pudding. creamed peas or scalloped to- matoes will prove satisfying, and hot tea is always in order.
 It is the cold dinner which most housewives find most difficult to plan and prepare, though I wonder at this,s for there are so many good things possible for such a menu. Clear soup, jellied or iced, is always appetizjng and healthful, and the fruit soups which were described in this depart ment some time ago are excellent for a summer dinner.
 For meat dish, beef or veal loaf, symmetrically sliced and served in a ring of sliced tomatoes dotted with mayo1naise dressing, will prove to be appetizing; Of you may have jeliied meat with peas, or cold roast beef or mutton with a mayonnaise of aspara- gus. Sometimes you will have three or four kinds of cold meat in the re- frigerators; perhaps a little of each; these may be jeIlied together with peas and bits of canned pimento added to make the dish more tasty and attrac- tive
 Serving meat and salad in combina- ton is new and very nice. It saves extra work and dishwashing and pro- vides a novelty for the dinner table as well.
 Dessert follows, of course, and if you can manage sherbet at home you win have supplied the very incest sort of complement for your cold din- ner.
 Frozen raspberries or peaches. or lemon or orange water-ice costs little and are easily made if one has one of the new freezers. Then there are the gelatine dishes and creams, almost as good as a frozen dessert and quite as inexpensive. A ring of lemon jelly filled with fresh-sliced and sugared peaches and served with cream is charming sweet dish. Or you may prefer rice pudding packed Tn ice and salt for two or three hours and served with fresh or canned red rasp- berries Floating island, if made in tensely cold, cannot be improved up on, and plain cream whipped and sweetened and served icy cold with lady fingers makes dainty hot even ing dessert. Most men prefer hot coffee, even aft CT cold dinner, but that, as I said be- fore. is easily supplied and very sat tsfying.

IE 1V FRUITFUL hands are a sign Of lashH good breeding, it is said, and lk&A certain it is that no one who
 neglects her hands can expect them to look well. Only regular at tention and steady care bring forth any results in beautifying the hands. The girl who works for her living need not despair, however, for if she will devote few moments each night to her hands they will look almost as well as those of the lady of leisure. Be careful first of all as to how the hands are washed-in tepid water is the most satisfactory, for it is not too cold to remove the dirt and not too hot to redden the flesh. Constantly changing soap is very bad for the skin. A good soap should be selected and be used regularly without change. Be sure that all the soap is off the hands, then dry thoroughly, so that the flesh is not left damp and moist. By going to manicurist once in a while and by watching attentively how the work is done you may be able to do your manicuring at home the rest of the time.

The rotary move ment can be used also, working from the center of the cheek outward. Some people make the mistake of massag- ing too heavily.
