Rag Rugs

Hit-or-nhiss patterned rag rugs
are attractive: but even more at
tractive are those of single color,
or two colors well blended. One way
to get good results from dyeing
rag rugs is to dye the rags before
they are woven--some one color,
others another color for the border
Another way to dye rag rugs Is
to have, them woven in any colors
you have on hand-bright red,
for instance, with yellow for the
border, or blue with a border of
white. Then dip them into a dye
OF some neutral color-olive green,
gray or some shade OF tan or brown
Remember. in dyeing anything. that
to get the best results the things
that you dye must be free from
dirt. Boil them clean in a boiler Of
water and then rinse them thor
oughly In clear cold water.

All Kinds of
Baths

n IAN is about the only animal
N that has to be taught to
AVA bathe. The dislike seems to
be inherent. The infant battles
with all his little might any ap-
proach to the bathtub. and after
months and years of training the
sturdy child rebels just as strenu-
ously.
1t is only after years Of habit and
knowledge of it's benefit that bath
ing becomes delight and
necessity. So much is this the case
that the demand for a daily bath is
taken by many as an undeniable
sign of culture.
Certain It. is that the ignorant and
untutored peoples of the earth give
little time TO the cleansing OF their
bodies. -Sh

delights to splash in the little pools
that il finds here and there in its
fights. The little head is plunged
deep and then suddenly lifted,
throwing the drops in fine shower
over the whole body. A vigorous
shake, his toilet is finished and
birdie hops away clean, dry and re-
freshed.
Some of the animals accomplish
their purpose in quite a different
way. Instead of water the barnyard
fowl uses dust as the medium for
his bath.
The fine dust dries up any super
fuous oil that emanates from the
body and dislodges any mites or
parasites that may have found place
there.
A violent shake and all disappear.
A little preening and he. too. ap-

squirrels, &c, use their rough
tongues or claws as brushes for
their cleaning.
Some that have none of these APP

once-"off with the old apd on with

The worn out elements must be
discarded, and nature has wisely
provided all with the instinct and
some means to accomplish this end.

FashionHints
{ for Spring
By Rita Stuyvesant.

Straight line frocks have low
cred waistlines, and this effect is
very often achieved by means Of
a sash draped low about the hips.
On tricotine. crepe, charmeuse and
nearly every type of silk frock
Keorgette crepe is used to advan-
tage. These beautiful sashes are
about three yards long and half
yard wide, and are finished by
picoted edge. Much of the beauty
is obtained by the proper color
combination, and with navy frocks,
whether of wool or silken fabrics,
gray georgette Is good choice.
Jade green Is also well liked with
navy. Orange georgette loops It
self attractively about black
frocks, and tomato red and flame
shades are effective. too.
Another novel trimming offered
for spring days is in the form of
motifs cut from cretonne. Dresden
pliqued to taffeta or satin crepe
ffocks. Bizarre wool work is also
featured on many of the newest
models. Eyelet embroidery on taf-
fefa Is a novel offering, and we
are told that this is indeed to be a
spring of lavish embroidery.
There are some delightful col
lars In this day of collarless
frocks. One smart. gown of black
chsffon velvet, with simple bodice
distinguished BY a cunning collar
embroidered in narrow gold braid.
an outstanding affair that encircles
the neck and only two inches deep.
A tiny string tie of the braid is
knotted at the front and finished
with gold tassels.
To lend colorful beauty to ones
suit there are some stunning
waistcoats even more gorgeous
than those shown last spring. For
instance, flame-colored duvetyn
elaborated by silver thread, shows
and admirable front to the world
in a suit of black velour.

Is. Marriage a
Success?
LIKE A BALL TEAM.

l believe marriage Is a success.
/ believe there are a great many
more successful marriages than
there are unsuccessful ones. Mat
rimony Is sacred institution and
Is the only natural and happy life.
However. l do not believe IL is a
good idea for every one to marry.
Every one, of course, knows his or
. her business best. and therefore
must be governed accordingly.
There are several essentials to a
successful marriage. First, there
must be true love. Without true
love there can be no happiness.
quite agree with one of your good
readers who so wisely said that he
did not believe in the old adage,
which declares that true love
doesn't run smooth" for as he said,
II ii does not run smooth, 1t should.
Henry Drummond once said Love
is the greatest thing in the world"
/ believe he knew what he was
talking about. / sometimes wonder
whether some people know what
true love is. / believe that where
true love exists, all the rest will
come to make life one grand sweet
song.
Second, there must be premedita-
tion. If a great many people would
spend more time thinking about
the steps they are taking, there
would be fewer divorces and much
more happiness.
Third, there must be unselfish-
ness. If they would forget them
selves and just try and help each
other, there would be great deal
more harmony and good feeling.
Fourth. there must be common
sense. II people would exercise q
little more good judgment and COM
mon sense there wold be less oick-
ering
Fifth. and lastly, there must be
cooperation. 1t Is a great thing TO
work together. Matrimony Is just
like a ball team. Without team
work no games can be won. If
you expect to win in matrimony,
the best way is to work together.
If each party is willing to help the
other, there is no reason in the
world why they should not progress
and marriage prove successful.

Married Life
a Failure?
International News Service.


LINCOLN, Neb.. Feb. 9.--Is
married life a failure? Not ac-
cording to Daniel and Mary
Reneker, who live in perfect
peace and harmony In their lit
tie cabin near Mt. ZION. Iowa.
They have given married life
more thorough trial than any
other couple in the country and
pronounce II a success, positive
ly and absolutely. Daniel and
Mary Reneker should know
whereof they speak, too, for
they have been married for sew
enty-fiye years. and for all that
space of time they have lived in
the same homestead.
In 1916 the bride and groom
left the little Ohio town where
they were wed to "go West"
They foated down the Ohio to
the Father of Waters and then
turned their course north. Into
the wilderness they plunged and
the stalwart husband cleared a
piece of land he purchased for
dollar an acre and built the
occupied. And in spite of all
hardships, as the fairy book
says. "they lived happily ever
after" Daniel Reneker Is nine
ty-nine years old and his wife Is
ninety-seven years of age. They
have four sons living, the eldest
seventy-two and the baby" Dr.
John Reneker, is fifty-four years
old and member of the Ne
braska State legislature.
Seventy-five years ago-and 1t
seems like yesterday to the low
ing couple-they began married
life in their little home and let
the rest Of the world go by"
