plicity. neatness and sincerity as ap-
piled to house furnishings is necessary,
according to Miss Grace Averill. assist
ant in home art in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
MANY persons have the idea that it
costs n great deal to furnish home
tastefully. but this is not true" says
Miss Averili. "a few simple furnish
ings, moderate In price. that go well
together are In better taste than pro-
fusion OF costly articles that are unre-
lated. Having only few necessary
pieces Of furniture in room helps to
give an air of spaciousness. This is a
valuable principle 10 follow in furnish
ing the small house.
The floor and walls should be fin
ishcd In neutral tones in order to form
n background for the furnishings and
also for the persons who will occupy

Methods to Observe In

For silks, which urc now II part Of
the everyday washing. clean luke

has been dissolved should be used. and
there is no need of soda or any of the
washing powders, says the Ladies'
World. Make good suds, wash the

as little rubbing as possible. remember
ing that two soapy waters are far bet
ter than one which has been overused.
Rinse in several lulfwarm waters, and
If white silk II few drops of bluins
may be added to the last water.
Much of the new underwear is flesh
cOlored or delicate pink. This color IL
likely TO remain with the method Just
described; but. to retlnt, pink coloring
may be put into the last water. This
may he done by soaking little colorcd
tissue paper in water or using water
color dyes.
The method that has been suggested
for white silks will be successful for
colored silks and woods us well. All
three are composed of delicate tibers
and should be washed without rubbing
with water no warmer than the tenn
perature of the hand and good quality
white soap in the form of u suds. All
waters that are used for these fabrics
should be of the same temperature, the
work should be done as rapidly as Is
consistent with good results. and the
drying should be out of the sun. 1t is
well 10 press the colorcd silks in a
towel before hanging, as this will alb
sorb surplus moisture and avoid
streaks.

Use an egg in washing the hair.
Break the egg into basin. Beat the
egg until white and yellow are well
mixed: then with the fingers rub the

How They should Be Treated With .
Nitrate Solution.
Thoroughly clean the surface with
soap and warm water. to which add Il
few drops Of lye. Rub the surface dry
and then keep 1t covered to protect
from dust. A wall of putty or clay
should be built about two inches away
from the spot to be repaired, being
very careful not to touch the clean
surface. This is to serve as reser-
voir for the silvering bath. For each
nine square inches to be covered pour
one-half ounce of a per cent solution
of silver nitrate. To this add ammonia
water, drop by drop, until light
brown sediment appears and does not
dissolve. There should be a very small
quantity of this sediment produced.
Dissolve piece Of glucose about one
fourth inch square in half ounce OF
water, Warm the solution and add to
the nitrate solution on the mirror,
which should be in a warm place pro-
tected from dust and allowed to re
main for twelve hours. Pour of the

with shellac.

SANITARY PILLOWS.
Why Ono Should Be Careful In Select
ing These Necessary Articles.

With feathers an ounce of prevention
is worth several pounds of cure. Read
the tags on the pillows you buy to see
it the feathers nre new. Dirty fcath-
ers, from which the lumen or protein
moved, carrying barnyard filth, mean
a smelly pillow, with possible danger
from disease. 1t is very difficult to
purify them perfectly even by factory
methods.
Never buy pillows made of second
hand feathers. You can never tell
whence they came or whittier they go.
This was where our grandmother
got her start. She had feathers of
sun or oven baked. and she changed
the ticks faithfully, often with thor
ough washing of the feathers them
selves.
Modern cleaning establishments. us
ing either live steam or an electro
chemical process, offer the housekeeper
every opportunity for the bacteriologi-
cal cleanliness of her feather beds and
pillows If the inside of the cup should
be clean, no also should the inside Of
the pillow.
Buy only pillows made in factories
which have n process for complete
sterilization. One woman after see
ing a film picture of the factory meth
cd of removing dirt from feathers and
the mute evidence of how much 1t
was needed wrote to the factory for a
supply OF the sterilized article, saying
that she hadn't had nights sleep
since seeing the pictures.
Uneasy lies the conscious head that
rests on unsterilized feathers!

Why Ysu Have Goossflesh In Chilly
Tampcratures

GOosefiesh is nothing more or less
than contracting of the muscles un-
der the skin. This causes the tiny
blood vessels also to contract and
drives the blood out. The skin tight
ems, and this acts directly Oh the hair
follicles, which are always at an angle
with the skin and not directly inward.
Therefore as the skin eXerts pull
the angle Is changed and the hair is
made to stand straight up. As the
growth Of hair on the body is 50 slight.
the hair follicles are clearly visible,
and what we term gooseflesh is the
result. But 1t is nothing more or less
than the hair standing on end.

HOW TO TEST DIAMONDS 4

" HOW TO TEST DIAMONDS "
" AND NOT BUY u
" PASTE.-well made Imitation "
" diamonds commonly scratch y
" glnss. but they do not cut 1t. A "
" real diamond drawn Lightly over u
" the surface cuts the gln1s so "
" completely that the sl~. nest v
si blow will cause separation. "
" Another old test Is that III which y
~ file Is employed. In the case "
Y of real stone 1t is impossible to "
y make any impression with the "
" implement. An imitation article "
u Ia easily marked. Or the s,s- "
" pected gem may be placed be- y
" tween two coins and pressed y
" hard with the fingers. 1t Will be y
" impossible to make the slight u
" est impression on real dia-. y
" mond, but In the case of paste "
u article the edges may be crushed. "
" The effect can be discerned by "
" critical examination with lens. "
u When a diamond Ii, quite clean "
" and dry carry out the following v
" experiment: Place on the surface "
" tiny drop of water. Now take "
" 4 needle or pin and try to move "
" the drop about If the diamond "
" is genuine the drop can Ike rolled y
" about intact. On the other hand, "
" where the gem is an imitation ~
" the water spreads directly it Is y
u touched with the needle point. "
" Another very good test may be "
" carried out with a tumbler Of "
v water. Into this put the sus- "
" pected article and examine its v
y appearance. A real diamond "
v will show up In the water with "
u startling clearness. and 1t can v
" never be confounded with the u
" water. On the other hand, the "
" imitation looks indefinite. and 1t y
u is sometimes difficult to see 1t "
v clearly at all. "
" Generally speaking. the facets v
" In a real diamond are not cut 30 v
" truly as those in the imitation. "
" This is on account Of the fact u
" that diamonds are sold by "
v weight; hence the cutter tries to "
u preserve as much Of the original y
" as possible, even making small y
" sacrifices In the matter of regu- u
v larity. In the case Of paste "
" article or cheaper stone no y
u such need arises, and the cutter y
" endeavors to make the stone mp "

- anime 1t with great care. v
