Try It I- ---- ItPays PFOi'EH CARE OF MATTING i Its Days of Usefulness May Be Con. c siderably Extended by a Lit tIe Forethought. - f For aSweeping. a hair broom should be rather gently plied, always in the sane direction, since stilff bristles, t undue vigor and brushing across in stead of along the mesh result In a frayed surface, which ruins the ap pearance and harbors dirt. A scat tering of damp Indian meal, scraps of newspaper or common salt-on no ac count tea leaves or newly mown grass, of which a stray shred acct dentally stepped on creates an ugly staln-simultaneously attracts the fly ing particles and enhances brightness, while a final rub over with a soft dry cloth, though not absolutely neces sary, imparts a pleasing gloss. Although plain water and soap, or worse still, soda, invariably turn mat ting yellow, a periodical washing with bran water or brine is very bene ficial, provided sloppiness Is strictly avoided and the surface is not left wet. The latter shouldbe gone over piecemeal, first with a large cloth, squeezed out in the chosen liquid, next with a second similarly wrung out In fresh cold water and lastly with a dry rubber. If the matting canndt be taken up and hung in a shady spot in the open air, windows and doors should be thrown wide for at least a couple of hourb after this washing and sunlight meantime ex cluded. HANGINGS FOR THE WINDOWS Pretty Materials That Will Suit Al. most Any Style of Furnishings Are Offered in Profusion. For bedroom windows and do6rs there is an endless variety of good things to select from, In all colorings and materials, and suited to any style of furnishing. The domestic, cre tonnes may be used for the less im portant rooms, bpt the colors are not as permanent as the imported ones. so that it is often cheaper In the long run to spend 'iore on the material. Some of the materials are partly covered with birds and butterflies, or trees yielding roses, peonies or fruit on the same branch. And there are pastoral effects on cretonnes, much used for bedroom windows. It is well to touch on the necessity of restraint, Snot only in coloring,, but in pattern. Assuming that one has much elaborate detail in the carpet and chair cover ings. curtains In such rooms should be t in plain, simple colors. With a plain carpet and wall paper a good background can be formed for chintz coverings to chairs and similar materials for curtains. The successful drapery br curtain should combine I the quiet and gay in such a way that Sunity, harmony and variety are at. tained. For Measuring Shirts. ) What woman of enforced economIes l' bas not been worried almost ill over the measuring of a skirt? But relief is In sight, for in Europe they are ) selling a device. consistlng of a frame Swhich may be attached to the edge of almost any table, and to this; frame -Is hinged a pair of semi-elliptical V wings, shaped to conform to a curva L, ture of a skirt's lower edge. Loosely attached to one of these wings is a o tape measure which slides along the e skirt as a guide to mark its length. y The other wing has a linen cover, which may be pinned to the waslt 1, band of the skirt to facilitate the ,f marking of the latter. n Baked Lobster.
