Your Home and You
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

There are some women who can do
all sorts of houseworkf still keep
their hands smooth and shapely, while
other women manage to ruin their
hands even with the lightest sort Of
work about the house Well. if one
woman can keep her hands attractive
in spite of hard work, so can the rest
Of u.s.
Here are some rules that will help.
Use mild soap for dishwashing and
keep your hands out of scalding hot
water Use wooden-handled dishmop
or allow scalding hot water to run over
the dishes in the pan, cooling 1t off
somewhat before putting the hands into
the water.
After washing dishes or doing any
other sort Of cleaning take time to wash
the hands thoroughly, rinse we'll and
dry carefully. Use a little hand cream
if the skin Is inclined to be dry and
rough.
Wear loose, washable cotton gloves
when you are shifting rugs or carpets
or doing heavy busting.
Avoid staining hands with fruits and
vegetables as much as possible. Pota-
toes and other vegetables may be scrub
bed carefully and boiled with their skins
on. If you insist on pairing the pota
toes, wash them first and allow to dry
Then pare, dry and wash the hands at
once in cold water and soap. If stains
appear remove with lemon juice. Fruit
stains can usually be removed with
lemon juice if it is applied at once.

Bile or single Fit it with various peck
cts. Bind all edges and put a tie-tape
at one end. Feather stitch around the
case and along the top of each pocket.
Embroider initials on the case, if you
like. You will have, when completed,
one of the most useful of travellers
accessories.
Such a case is hung at the head of
a berth on a steamer, where comb and
brush, hairpins. handkerchiefs and the
assortment Of needed accessories for the
toilet can be reached with least trou-
bic. If you are inclined to be seasick,
il is a comfort to be able to get at these
articles with least exertion and without
getting up. BY he way, the Old Eng
l1sh initials are cents each. Should
anv one want them, don't forget the
seh-addressed and stamped envelope
also.
Every one needs a sewing kit of
some sort to slip into a suit case or
perhaps into handbag. A strip of
Iibbon inches wide can be made into
such a case. Make a small roll of abb
sorbent cotton and case for it of thin
White goods. Use quarter for pat
tern for circles at each end, straight
piece of the cloth for the center. Seam
strip and one circular end. Stuff the
roll of wadding into it and seam the
ether circle in place. Cover this with
the ribbon in the same manner. Seam
e length of the ribbon to the seam of
tie pincushion, for this is what the
tubular part really is. Cut the strip
CT ribbon or inches long. Put the
two selvedges together at the unat-
tached end and seam raw edges to-

the ribbon before it begins the angle
to the point. Blanket stitch edges ex-
cept at one end. Make a tiny hem at
this end and seam to seam In the
cushion.
Sew tie string Of narrow ribbon to
the pointed end of the ribbon. Sew a
short bit of this narrow ribbon to the
cushion near the seam on the inside,
and another wee piece by one end Of
the cushion. Under the strip slip a
pair of tiny scissors and have the bit
of ribbon hold the tip of the scissors.
Thread needles of different sizes with
threads of different numbers, both in
white and black cotton, and some in
silk. Have threads double so that
needlefuls will not be too short. Run
the needle up from the lower end of
the flannel and through it to near the
cushion and then turn the needles and
weave them through the flannel so that
the needles will be parallel with the
cushion. Slip thimble into the point
ed pocket. Stick pins around the edge
of each end of the circular portions of
the cushion. Roll up the case and tie
securely with the narrow ribbon tie
string. Every traveller knows the con-
venience of such a sewing kit. A pack
age of extra assorted size needles can be
tucked into the thimble pocket, also
some extra thread wound on fiat card

many a child has held her
glistening flower under her playmate's
chin.
The golden wedge-shaped petals are
so curved that they form a cup, at the
base Of each petal is tiny scale which
beetles know well where to seek their
drink and the dazzling colored Syr-
phidae flies dance with glee over the
shiny cups.
Being thrifty plant, the buttercup
stores food in the Summer for the
coming Winter. Her bulbs are her
storehouse. From May until September
the flower may be found in the sunny
meadows. grassy places, in the fields
and along the roadside. She is a
naturalized flower from Europe, and SO
well does she like her adopted country
her children are to be found pretty
well over the United States; she does
prefer the North.
buttercup sends up her stem. It often
reaches 3 feet in height, is erect and
branched, most Of the time fuzzy. The
vanished petals slowly unfold and in
the center Of the cup may be seen the
cuddled anthers, like a golden basket
of tiny balls. AS the flower grows the
filaments reach up, lifting the crouch
ing antherS into a loose rounded tuft,
almost hiding the little bunch of pistils
which are packed snugly under each
stigma Then the fllaments lean back,
the anthers are seen as dainty fringe
like circle about the pale green pistils
which are topped by short, yellowish
stigma. To prevent -pollenat ton,
the anthers open away from the pistils
and shed much of their pollen before
the stigmas are ready to receive it.
Most of the time the sepals and
petals fall the same day. Then you
will see the little green bunch of pistils
with fringe Of torn and ragged old
Stamens clinging to them. As the seeds
mature. the seed-box becomes globe
shaped. The buttercup mother has a
wise plan for the distribution Of her
children. Her seeds are fat with an
incurred hook at one end With the
