housekeeping Hints.

Now is the time when the wise
housekeeper is taking account Of
stock and doing certain amount Of
refurbishing and renovating. For
example an old linoleum. if not worn
into holes may be refreshed and
made almost as good as new with
little trouble First, be sure that
il is stretched and tackled as closely
as possible. Then paint it all over
with two coats of any good wash
paint, letting the first one dry before
experimenting il with the second
When this is quite dry give the floor
a coating of orange shellac. After
this is dry go over it with a second
coat This gives an excellent finish
to the floor and viii make the limo
leum not only look we'll but add
greatly 10 its wearing qualities. An
oil mop will keep il clean
One hOusekeeper makes her own
floor mops as follows She buys
cheap string mop, cuts off the cot
ton strings and sews strips Of wool
en- cloth, about nine inches long, in
their places. fastening them 20 the
frame or binding. Mix together one
half cup of kerosene oil and one half
cup of melted parafne. Dip the mop
in this and let il dry: then keep the
mop when not IN use in a paper bag.
This mop may be cleaned by wash
ing i'm warm soap suds and when dry
moisten again with a good floor oil
or furniture polish.
II is quite possible 10 convert

I'm the first place il should be care

paint the floor over with one coat Of
thin white paint. This according to
one housekeeper Of an experimental
nature must be so very thin that Il
will resemble a sheer gauzy veil. Let
that dry then give the floor two coats
Of orange shellac OF course. the
first one must be allowed 20 dry be-

Aviation. like other forms of hu-

When women first began 10 drive
automobiles, they were a curiosity
but the world came to recognize
their rightful place in this activity;
in time they will feel the same about
their place as aviators. The success
of any undertaking depends upon
the man or woman. as much in avia-
ton as in anything else under the
sun. The craft is but in it's infancy,
and when it has reached as ad-
vanced a stage OF perfection as has

Practical Ideas in Dress

Every little while the advocates

new idea, or, often, a whole series
Of them. which they bestow upon
an always interested albeit a not
always reformnclined, public. Not
long ago a group of New York wom-
en- who believe firmly in their right
20 wear the sort OF clothes they
like and find becoming, irrespective
of the mandates OF designers of con-
venuOnal fashions. revolted and,
inviting many individuals who were
interested in designing different
clothes for women and some mer-
chants who made a business Of sell
ing simple, comfortable things for
feminine apparel 70 Join in an eX-
hibitton OF their wares. they staged
the display in the home Of we'll
known clubwoman OF the city and
sent out cards Of invitation far and
wide. The response astonished them;
the rooms we're so filed with in
terested women that it was hard 10
see the garments
Simplicity was the keynote, but It
was an artistic. not merely a utilita-
rian, simplicity. There were suits
and coat dresses made on good and
practical lines and minus shOddy
adornment. There was one business
like gown which could hardly be
seen except by those on the inner
edge OF the circle continually swarm
Ing about il; that was a wonderful

tune at short notice. Then there
was another gown from which
hooks. eyes. buttons, buttOnholes
and patent fastenings were entire

in place by the clever adjustment
of a sash that encircled the figure

There were garden costumes that
made more than one woman feel
inclined 70 go home and plant some
sort Of a garden. even if she lived
in an apartment and could do no
more than esta blish a window box
in every window. one Of these was
a gorgeous, huge pocketed, rose
pink crepe affair, as dainty and
charming as one could wish. and
one beauty Of it was that you could
slip il on over whatever other clothes
you happened 20 be wearing. A
palmer affair for the woman who
