Pleasant Reservations.
There are q thousand and one lit.
tie things which pass unnoticed I'm.
til company Is invited. Then the lit.
tie house has it's innings in restora.
tion Sometimes this goes into more
important matters than the little de-
tails named What better time to get
the rug so needed for the dining room,
than when it will lend more interest
to the room? SO the dining room may
get the benefit of the entertainment.
Or If it is decided that the rug cannot
be acquired just then. the next best
thing is done, and the rug gets
thorough cleaning, or beating and
shampoo, so that 1t looks it's best.
All floors are given thorough cleaning
with mops, or vacuum cleaners, or
brooms.
Silverware comes in for its due
share Of attention. Pieces seldom used
are brought out and polished until
they shine like mirrors, or have the
refurnishing suited to their style of
finish. 1t does them good to be so cared
for. Mirrors are washed until no speck
or suggestion Of dust or film mars
their beauty Of reflections. Table
covers and napery get special laun-
dering.
The homemaker finds herself enjoy
ing the results Of her labors many
day after the party Is thing Of the
past. The house has benefited, and 1t
repays for the effort in it's improved
appearance.
Good Cheer in the Home.
There has never been time in the

volved or associated with commercial
or professional transactions are seek
ing to find or to keep firm fOotholds
in the shifting sands Of these imam
cial times There is turmoil. There Is
mental distraction. There Is unrest
in the psychological atmosphere, all
of which things are disturbing to
peace, and the cheer and comfort
which Is attendant upon 1T.
With such an existing state Of af.
fairs In the outer world. there Is
needed some oasis for each person
IN which to mentally and physically
recuperate. For this. there is no place
like home, spot which should be
sanctuary. 1t fails In It's province and
its privilege, II it is less. Without
cheer 1t loses it's high place. 1t must
have certain pleasant atmosphere
to revive the spirits as glow
ing hearth fire. by its gay blaze, re-
stores warmth to the body.
A New Application Of an Old Term.
The term cheer leader, 80 well rec.
ognized in the field OF sports, may
well be applied to the person In
! family who Is able to arouse good
cheer in it's members. This family

expression from one Of merely shout
