Watch Your Furniture.

Fine furniture. like ferns and other
plants in your house, like canary
birds. goldfish. children. and even
husbands, fare better from q little
daily attention and care than a lavish

free from dust and dampness. the
beauty Of its original surface never
is lost. By giving 1t daily attention

out ever having to wash 1t. If spot

II allowed to stand, 1t is sometimes
necessary to use soap and water.
However. II Is a mistake to use soap
and water on fine furniture unless it
Is positively necessary. There is al
ways danger of harming fine finishes
with the free alkali contained IN many
soaps even Of the highest grade.
1t is a mistake to dust fine furni-
ture with dust cloth slightly moist

the dust from flying, but this can also
be accomplished by using a cloth

a drop of the oil directly on the fur
ntture. as this makes the surface of
the furniture show uneven gloss. A
cloth slightly moistened in the oil
should be rubbed over the entire sur
face Of the furniture. A fine brush
may be used to dust the crevices Of
the furniture that cannot be reachei
with the ordinary buster. 3.
Special busters should be kept for
highly finished furniture, as you will
need an oilless duster for use on
painted surfaces, books, wicker chairs
and enameled woodwork. However,

For Sadie. like most stimulating

The Bag in Readiness.

During the war it was considered
among smart Parisians rather a clever
thing, as well as a sensible thing, to
carry about with one at all times in a
very contracted form the necessities for
a night away from home. No one could
tell just when the air raids would come.
and 70 long as a raid lasted one had
to remain under substantial shelter.
This sometimes meant that dinner
guests were forced to remain for the
night. and on occasions women went to
have a simple cup Of afternoon tea or
chocolate at the home Of a friend only
to find It inexpedient to try to get home
before morning.
So 1t came about that handbags were
made large enough to hold toothbrush.
nightgown. brush and comb. powder
and possibly a soupcon OF other make
up. These overnight necessities were as
small and light as possible and could be
crowded into a bag that in no way
suggested a piece of luggage.
Now the vogue has come for smaller
handbags And naturally now that the
necessity no longer exists French wom-
en- find 1t convenitne not to try to man
age an overnight or weekend trip with
the equipment that might be crowded
into even a large handbag.
1t is a comfort and a source Of con-
venience to people VINO often take un-
expected trips away from homo to have
overnight bags always in readiness,
with practically all the needfuls for a
trip away. Thus tho married woman
feels no qualms when she goes to the
telephone to hear her husband an
