HOW TO MAKE A STORAGE ROOM ATTRACTIVE. There is no reason why a store room should be a dingy. messy place. which must be hidden from every eye except the own er’s. It is quite possible to make { it an attractive. cheery place. b which one may visit as freely as : any parlor. | One woman uses her back bed : room as a combination storage l and sewing room. and except for I the faint odor of tar bags and > moth balls one would never sus- T pect the real purpose of the room. . it has a big. roomy closet. in this she has a pole stretched from one wall to the other. and from the pole are suspended many tar bags holding all the furs and long heavy coats. 0n the shelves. wrapped in many covers of news papers, are the winter hats, with t a small bag of camphor balls be- ‘ tween every two. This closet is i kept tightly locked. as a rule. but 1 once a month the bags and pack- 4 ages are removed, and the closet : is well dusted and aired. i This housewife keeps two : trunks with her most valuable «4 possessions in this storehouse. also an old fashioned wardrobe j with a mirrored door. a sewing machine and two chairs. THE KITCHEN APRON. How to Choose Materials For This Pro tector That Are Becoming. in the apron that protects the gown while cooking there h possibility for the utmost ugliness, so this garment should be chosen with an eye to its eii'ect with other things. A blue and white checked apron only looks well with a blue and white dress and the statement holds good with other con trasts. 0n the other hand. an apron in the solid color that forms the dress trimming is very neat, and if it is a bib pinafore of coarse white butcher’s linen it can be used with various gowns. Brown holland is also an Ladaptable material. and if the apron is only assumed for a moment and put on over a good dark dress it is a good thing to have it of black calico. The model of the apron must be of a gener one sort. but if it is shaped to the figure and made neatly it can still be as pretty as a gown. Cbiored pipings could also be put with white or black. I although the single color will wash better. Most beautiful housekeeping aprons are made of yellow pongee in various English pinafore designs. which is to say. there is always a bib. The smock apron which goes over the head and hangs full below the knees is very easily made ~at home, and these can be real beautiflers if they are of white. yellow or robiu‘s egg bine raJah. with a little embroidery about the neck and 1 armholes - ‘ Very useful plnatores—the sort of protectors needed for pickling. pre serving and any other hard cooking stunt-are of oilcioth. with several con venient pockets and braid edges. _ if smartness is considered the ma terial of the apron and cap should match. except where the former is of oiicloth. which is too hot to put over the hair. But a white cap is always dainty and convenient. A mob crown and a straight or shaped face friii is the model used. but the ribbon band that trims the dressier of these caps is. of course. left oil' with the genuine housekeeping article. What is called the Dutch cap. this with the face trill cut away at the forehead and very deep at the cam. is a very becoming style for pretty faces. Gingham sweeping caps and muslin breakfast caps are both made in this style. How to Utilize Your Lao. Flounoa and Allovers.

Such a jacket. seen the other day. made of tete de negre brown satin with a very narrow edging of string colored braid ing at the edge. was seen to be opened }over a folded kerchiei' or dull gold lace something like a waistcoat and brought to a couple or points beneath the waist. The skirt had one deep flounce and another beneath it half the width. and still there was room to dis cern the dark brown satin petticoat upon which the lace was posed. The ilounces. were wired at the ham to make them stand away from the petti coat. which was just a sheath with the narrowest hem of braiding to finish it. New to Drive Away the Moths Poem Bugs and Carpets. it you fear moths in carpets or rugs scrub the floor with strong hot salt and water and when sweeping the was each week. or the carpet. sprinkle it first with salt. This salt and water treatment could hardly be applied to a 1 nicely ilnished floor. but moths seldom get in rugs laid on a shellacked or waxed hardwood floor. If they do the rugs can simply be taken into the air and thoroughly cleaned. with salt sprinkled on them before the sweeping or beating. and then they can be held over steaming water.

In no other field has the right use 0; color been so neglected as in the fur nishing of the American home. and no where else could its influence be st wide or beneflcent. The use of colon has countless possibilities. The individual, spontaneous choice oi color. however, is not always best 0: wisest in the furnishings of a home. First, the mental influences of color must be taken into account. Consider. for example, the eilects of the time elemental primary colors—yellow. red and blue. Yellow is nearest to sunlight. Mor bid dispositions require this color, al though they do not choose it. Yellow brings cheer and light into a dark. gloomy room. Red is symbolic of blood, fire and ex citement. Even an animal is excited by red, for the sight of it actually ir ritates the nerves. Therefore. since the keynote of all homes should be rest, and red in any large area destroys restfulness, it should be handled with special caution. It may be introduced successfully into drawing rooms, club rooms and dance halls. where gayety and a certain amount of excitement are desirable. but for other interiors it should be employed only in occa sional details. Barely in public buildings and al- D most never in private homes is a red room advisable. Blue is the coldest color note and makes a room restful and cool. For this reason it is especially pleasing in warm sections of the country, in sum mer homes. in sunny south'rooms and also in bedrooms—tor it is always sug- ‘ gestiVe of rest. An entirely blue room may prove rather monotonous. but this can be avoided by the introduction of orange. the complementary color. as a decorative note. The orange adds both warmth and interest. Orange, the combination of yellow and red. is symbolic of light and heat, which makes it the hottest color pos~ sible. Since it is the strongest and most intense of colors, it should be used only in small areas for emphasis. Violet. composed of red and blue, suggests heat and cold combined, ‘ which results in ashes. It is the color »ot shadows; it expresses restrained heat or mystery and ”gloom, and this is the psychological reason for its use in mourning and in religious rites. The use at violet is not often practical in home furnishings. although it may he used to dim a room having too much sunlight. Violet hangings are pleasing where there is a large window ex pause. Green, the result of mixing yellow and blue, expresses light and coolness. Generally speaking. it is the most suc cesstul color that can be used in in terior furnishing. for it eliminates the nerve exciting red and combines rest and cheer. than which nothing can be better for a home.

The clasp is of gold. ' To Preserve Linen. A very excellent plan for preserving linens and underwear and one which was used successfully by a very good housekeeper is to place the fresh arti cles as they come from the laundry at the bottom of the pile in sideboard. dresser or linen chest, leaving the ear lier ones on top. In this way the slum; articles are not used week after week, but come into use eyery three, tom- or the weeks, according to the supply. It will thus be seen that the wear and tear ls less than if they were in use constantly and golng through weekly washings. as ls sometimes the case if no system is used In piling them away. If this plan ls strictly adhered to it will be found of lnestlmable value. THE COURIER-REPORTER. KENNEWICK. WASHINGTON USE OF COLOR.

Easy to Raeogm’- the Woman Who .> Had Haunted the Place. “A certain lady and her family." says Sir Mountstuart Grant-Dull in his “Diary." “hired a place In Scotland [which was haunted by the ghost of a woman, who was to be seen constantly at: night wandering through the rooms and passages. When the family arriv. ed"the lady was much struck with the placeand said. '1 must have been here before. for I know this place so well. only there ought to be two rooms here. and there is only one.’ ”The agent replied that within a few weeks the owner had caused a parti tion to be taken down and made the two rooms into one. Still the lady was puzzled at her knowledge of the place , till she remembered a that it was a house she used to go to in her dreams. “Well‘ some time passed. and the agent was up at the house again. when the lady complained that one part of . the contract had not been fulfilled They had hired a house and a ghost ‘ for. the summer. and no ghost had she seen. “The agent replied: ‘0! course not. because you. madam. are the ghost. We recognized you the moment we saw you.‘ " The Fate of the Oneida.

She was bound homeward with a Jolly ship's" company eager to see wives and sweet hearts and native land on more. when not far out of port osis was struck by the British steamer Bombay coming in. The stem or the Bombay cut oi! the stern of the Oneida. The ship was sinking rapidly. and guns of distress were immediately tired. but the Bombay steamed on her way and left the vessel to her doom. She went down. and all but one or two of her crew were drowned. The captain of the Bombay gave no other reason for his conduct than that he had Lady Eyre. the wife of a distinguished Brit ish satrap. on board and did not wish to disturb her nerves with scenes of shipwreck. He was’ mobbed when he ‘ reached Yokohama. dismissed from the service. socially tabooed from that time In and died in disgrace a year or two ater. The Obstacle. to Evil.
