years ago was to have a carpet laid
from wall edge to wall edge over
the entire floor, even in bedrooms.
Under such conditions, it was i'm.
possible to move the beds, bureaus,
etc., or insure anything like sani-
tary cleaning. But to-day the chief
delight of the housekeeper is var
nished or linoleum-covered floors in
the bedrooms. Either of these may
be swept easily, or wiped with a
broom bag. In the nursery limo
leum Is best, because it can be so
easily wiped and scrubbed in case
Of accident. The floor of any chill
dren's room should never be entire
ly covered with carpeting.
Any housekeeper considering
spring repairs to the floors would
do we'll to think over the advant-
ages of each kind of covering, it's
relative cost, and especially its up
keep. Even il the initial cost is
high, it may be a better investment
than to put in cheap floors which
need constant vanishing and re-
pair, and which make the daily
cleaning so arduous.
A woman's time to-day is worth
considering. She should not have
to spend it on futile work. Keep
ing floors clean is big part of the
daily work. If servants are scarce
land where are they not?) those
floors should be chosen which will
make 1t easier for the housewife to
do the work herself.

Linoleum makes a good dining
room floor, especially where there
are children. 1t can so easily be
wiped up IL anything Is spilled, and
1t does away with the necessity Of
unsanitary rugs under the eating

take into consideration the greatly
lessened cost OF the wood for floor
that is to be covered with either
linoleum or composition.
Waxed floors do not seem to be
popular in this country. However,
no floor In the world is as beautiful
or as enduring as rightly laid

must not be confused with using an

clean string mop on varnish or

Tile looks sanitary and is easy
to wipe up; at the same time it is
very trying on the feet. Standing
on a tile floor tends to induce fat
feet. and 1t Is also very cold. Tiled
floors also increase the danger of
broken dishes, as an article dropped
on tile will shatter instantly.
Linoleum may be put over any

entirely through the fabric; not

week before the final lacking in

IN keeping house clean perhaps
nothing else requires, 80 much
attention as the floors. On the
kind of fnish--whether linoleuna,
varnish, shellac or oil-depends
much Of the difference between
work and leisure time either for the
housekeeper or the paid worker.
This is time of year when many
small repairs will be contemplated
in advance, and 1t is worth while
considering the merits and disad.

ering.
Families who live in rented
houses cannot easily change the
kind of floor finish. Still, they may
be able to make slight notifications
in 1t. especially If they are going
to continue living in the same
house.
Let us first consider the var
nished floor. This means a finish of
varnish usually placed on top of a
coat or coats Of light stain. 1t is
used only on we'll matched boards
of hard wood. If the wood is fine
and small and the varnish good.
such floor is, perhaps, the easiest
of all to care for. However, it
shows Dot marks and scratches
very easily, especially in country
houses, where much mud is tracked
In. In order to repair it one has
to do over" the entire floor.
In many cases the scratches and
marks may be treated with a small
bit Of stain. After this has been
allowed to dry the whole floor may
be given new coat of varnish. The
best kind of varnish to use is that
commonly used on the outside Of
boats, 1t is impervious to water
and almost SO to footmarks. Cheap
varnish is useless, as it will scab
off and peel.
The disadvantage of very bright
finish is that it scratches too easily.
1t is better to use a varnish modi-
fed with melted wax, which will
give a dull finish, somewhat like
wax. This will show the dirt less
readily, and also scratch less. A
very highly polished floor is insult
able in the centre Of any room, or
where it receives any special track
ing, as it is bound to- mar. Bright
finish should be used only on the
edges around the centre rug.
Shellac is another finish. It's ad
vantages are that it is harder, and
stands more wear. Indeed, it is a
good policy to shellac over two
coats Of stain, or over one coat of
stain, and one of varnish Any
floor that may be shellaced may
also be vanished.
Many popular forms of mops and
floor cleaners use oil in their fabric.
Now, while in theory oil catches the
dust, in practice a good vanished
floor should not be oiled. Oil, in
the first place, soils the edges Of

Good Ways to Serve the King of Fruits
THE apple is the king of fruits

THE apple is the king of fruits.
If you don't already appre-
ciate this fact you will when
you read 1.-THE Housekeeper's Apple
Book" by l.. Gertrude MacKay, in
structor in domestic economy in the
Schenley High School, Pittsburgh.
This volume, recently published
by Little, Brown G. Co., gives more
chan 200 ways Of preparing apples.
Sauces, beverages, salads, entrees,
puddings, dumplings, cakes, pies
the number OF delectable dishes
which can be made from this fruit
will amaze even the housewife who
thinks herself thoroughly familiar
with its possibilities.
Among the interesting recipes
which the author recommends are
the GLOWING:
APPLE CHIPS.
Gut s pounds of sweet apples into
small pieces. Do not pare. Add
4 pounds of sugar and 4 of pound
OF Canton ginger and let stand for
"a hours; add lemons cut into
small pieces, rejecting seeds. Cook
slowly for 8 hours. Put into glasses
or stone jars and cover with paraf-
I'm.
APPLE PRESERVES.
Use y Of pound of sugar to
- each pound of apples. Good
favored apples that are not easily
broken should be used. Make rich
syrup of sugar and water and add
a little ginger root tied in a bag;
add little lemon juice and boil
few apples at time until trans
parent. Place in jars or glasses;
boil the syrup until very thick and
pour over the apples. Crabapples
make delicious preserves; cook
without pairing until clear in a rich
syrup, drain and place in jars; fill
with the syrup boiled down.
APPLE PUNCH.
nut 6 tart apples in quarters;
core, but do not pare; put into
. preserving kettle and add / cup
of raisins. 2 bay leaves, q small
piece of stick cinnamon, the grated
rind of 3 lemons and quarts of
cold water, let come to boil and
add 2 quarts more OF cold water;
cover and let boil for 80 minutes;
drain through muslin bag. When
cold add the juice of lemons and
2 pounds of sugar; stir until the
sugar is dissolved. When ready to
serve add little shaved ice.

to bring back the natural oil int

acquaintance believes that the

easy to arrange.
But IL nature planned your hair
to be straight, then allow 1t to re-
main SO. Look about you and ex-
pertinent until you can find some
becoming method Of wearing 1t. II
the ends have become broken and
the hair is thin and uneven you
must set about raising q new and
stronger crop.
First, you must prepare the soil
for the new crop by cleansing your
scalp with frequent shampoos, one
every other day, II necessary, and
by using on 1t good oil. Olive oil
is an admirable agent for loosening
and feeding heat-dried scalp.
Have the ends singed or clipped.
Massage the scalp every night, un-
less it is too tender to endure that
massage often. Irritating the
nerves which protest against such
treatment does far more harm than
good.
A few years ago there were al.
most no good hair tonics. Now
there are many. Almost any tonic
containing liberal amount OF
quinine is a good hair grower.
Here Is my favorite one: Tincture
of cantharides, 2 drains; bisulphato
OF quinine, 10 grains; castor oil, I
dram; bay rum, ounces.
Hair to be really beautiful should
not lie upon. the scalp in heavy,
sticky bands, but should stand out
hair by hair, as separate as the
down of a little chicken. To &C.
quire this, use ten drops Of am.
monia sprinkled In camomile. This
must be added after the mixture
has boiled and cooled, otherwise
the ammonia will evaporate.
The above is rightly q favorite
preparation with many women. No
beauty or fashionable woman ever
uses oil upon her hair. By keeping
it frequently massaged and thor
oughly brushed she permits It t.
develop its own oil.
Most of you know that the Egyp-
tian women were considered to
have the most beautiful hair In the
world. This they owed to henna.
If you want to try 1t make strong
henna tea by sleeping one-half an
ounce of the dried leaves in one
pint of hot water for about an hour
When cool strain Off the liquid. !,
To apply 1t properly the hair
should first be shampooed thor.
oughly in CASTLE soap and warm
water. Dry in the sunshine and
then apply the henna tea. Dry in
the sun once more and then wash
the hair in clean water before the
final drying, which should be al
ways out of doors If possible. Re-
member, however. that several ap-
plications on successive days may
be needed to secure the desired re.
suits. If 1t takes" properly your
hair should be a golden, reddish
brown-the real Titan shade that
artists SO greatly admire.
