FoUSECLEANING is that an
nual period when the house
= = wife delights to see that
everything has a thorough over
hauling and is put to rights" be-
fore the advent of warm weather
Naturally, the kitchen, the work
shop Of the home, has especial in
terest. Also, since Winter has kept
the room more closed, with extra
dirt from stove and range and with
the cooking of heavier foods, the
kitchen needs attention more than,
perhaps, other rooms.
The first step in cleaning the
kitchen depends on what kind of
floor and wall covering the room
has. If any redecorating is con-
templated, the most satisfactory
choice for a wall lies between
painted walls and those covered
with washable wallpaper. The lat
ter may easily be applied over any
painted wall. 1t can be kept clean
by merely rubbing with a damp
cloth.
Another plan is to run a wains-
coting Of tile or plaster up two.
thirds the depth Of the wall and
then finish the remaining wall sur.
face and ceiling in one continuous
tone. This makes a room look very
large and airy.
wrszsA,.1 r,f
the dingy, dirty-brown or bilious
green kitchens in some homes need
not wonder why it is so difficult to
hold servants In such a place.
Since the worker spends about 80
per cent of her time in the kitchen
it is certainly only fair to select a
scheme of decoration that viii
make the kitchen as agreeable as
possible a place to work in. A
kitchen should be painted neither
in too dark a tone nor in one too
vivid. Good colors are light tan or
buff, light apple-green, a warm light
blue and a warm gray. There are
shades of blue and gray that are
cold, and these make the room
chilly, especially il it be a north
room. The more northerly the eX-
posure, the warmer the tint that
should be used.
If il is possible have light wood
work, and very little Of it. Dark
woodwork makes the room heavy
and formal. Light paint may be
used over any old dark woodwork.
Two coats Of paint, one plain and
one enamel, should be sufficient.
The enamel finish is hard and
makes ii easier to keep the paint
clean. Pure, dead white in a
kitchen makes great deal Of work,
but light gray, tan, etc., are bright,
and also easy to keep clean. One
Of the prettiest kitchens / know
has woodwork painted buff and the
walls light green.
Many women make a great deal
Of work by having each shelf COW
cred with some kind Of paper. This
becomes soiled and needs frequent
changing. A better plan is to paint
all shelves with two coats of paint
and leave them without any other
covering. A damp rag will suffice
to clean them when necessary.

RWPE all know that q Woman'B

means that there must Be no coat

sirable, and that no ugly moth

have set their mark Of depreciation
on 3 face that would Otherwise be
. pink and white dream of peTfec-
ton.
TO attain this, would insist, for
. time, upon giving the face three
baths every night before retiring.
First, rub q quantity Of pure cold
cream into Il to remove the coarser
dust and CRIME. Wipe this on thor.
oughly, after e has been on the
face q few moments, and then give
your face q second bath Of tepid
water, preferably Of water softened
with borax or benzoln, and, last, q
light coat Of cold cream, which may
be left on al night.
IL the complexion has no obvious
defects, then this treatment should
restore the skin to its normal deli
cacy within q few days, when the
treatment may be suspended. But
II your skin is dishgured by an OBJ
stinate coat Of brown. and this hue
Of tan makes you miserable and

skin is IN this condition. I have
given It the fitting name Of Honey

Another old-fashioned remedy
which I have found most excellent
for freckIes, tan and other discolor.
ations Is the following: Sour milk,
/ cupful; horseradish, Il teaspoon
ful. ScFape the horseradish into1
hne shreds and let stand in the
sour milk for six hours before
using. Then wash the face freely
In Il several times 4 day.
OF course, every one knows that
fresh buttermilk Is one Of the most
efficacious and yet simple, cleans
ing, freshening tan-andf frecklere-
moving face baths that can be
taken at night before retiring, but |
for either freckles or liver spots |
this remedy has been found In
many instances curative: Solution |

Some faces that are otherwise |

no amount Of powder can conceal.
