Dear Folks: 1 have had the love
lest time helping one Of my news
paper friends with her house and
she says while she does not wish
her name used, that l can tell you
what she has done to an old house.
In the first place she bought the
place reasonably enough to feel that
she could make few improvements.
The front of the house had narrow
porch, you know the kind that when
you sit with your feet against the
rail your chair rockers scrape the
house. She built this porch out
wide, and instead of a rail, built
flower boxes around the edge, these
are all ready for nasturtiums to
trail! over the edge, and different
flowers to bloom in their good rich
dirt She took down a petition be-
tween the two front rooms, making
a good sized living room, and her
husband has added a large square
room back of what was the Single
front room" and this connects now
with the back porch leading to the
kitchen She said that she just
could not keep the white paint
clean, so we planned to give the
floor and woodwork the hot linseed
oil treatment, the walls are painted
light buff, she has thin marqui-
sets (95c a yard curtains, with side
curtains of old blue, mulberry and
some green and yellow for side cur
tatns, no over curtains. in both
rooms. She uses heavy rag rugs
entirely, and her husband, who is
clever with his carpenter tools, has
built her a dining room table, this
too she has rubbed and oiled, until
it is a soft brown, she could not
afford handsome dining room chairs,
so they bought unfinished Kitchen
chairs" these have been stained and
rubbed until they go we'll with the
table. Don't you think we have
made an attractive living room and
dining room? The two bedrooms
have just been cleaned and we
hope to Go those over next fall.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mrs. S: I am glad to give you
my rule for setting color in bingham
and cotton materials of other
makes. To a cup of vinegar (apple)
l add a half cup of salt, this L put
in enough water to thoroughly soak
the material. I have no set time
for keeping it in the water, Just
until it is wet all through. Then I
rinse until the sickness Of the salt
Is removed, all this in cold water,
then L dry and iron. l have done
this with deep pink wolfe and set
the color well, and that seems to me
good test.
Hilda: The lingerie or embroider.
ed collars, Peter Pan and like
styles, are worn on Jersey, wooden
CIR silk dresses, cuffs are to match.
Max; Why take a girl to a dance
unless you want to dance with her?
L really think there is no excuse for
a boy who invites q girl to so to
dance with him then deliberately
neglects her, My dear boy, YOU
didn't teach her a lesson" but YOU
should have learned one yourself.
