FTER the spring housecleaning then should come the selec- tion of all the labor-saving devices and household con- veniences that the housewife can pos- sibly afford, first among which are kitchen utensils and kitchen com- forts. These are the essentials in the home. ’ Is vour kitchen of such a size that you can work quickly and conven- fently? A small, comp: kitchen is onomical of a housew time and energy. Nine by twelve feet is a con- venfent size. Many kitchens are too lage for qulck work.

Instead of using such pa per, a roll of grocer's papers, which comes on a frame, should be close at hand. You will then be sure of hav- ing something that has not been h: dled, since it was rolled up by ma chinery in a factory. Paraffin paper should also be close at hand for covering food, for wrap- Ping up sandwiches, for school and picnio lunches and for other purposes. Cutlery and Brushes. When you buy cutlery, carving knives, = cookin other knives, get the stainless stecl variety. Stainless steel cutlery will not rust. With this kind of cutlery You can stick a knife blade through e un- room. chen, such forks @ lemon and leave it for an hour and | vou will find that after the steel been washed, its shining surface will still remaln’ untarnished. nless cutlery is made of the same metal throughout. It is not a surface fin- ish. For these reasons, if vou must economize. it is better to A few pieces of this quality than a great deal of inferior cutlery. This cutlery is also very flexible an durable, and can be easily bent b: and forth without breaking. The knives have keen cutting edges which wear well, and having steel blades, they can be sharpened on steel. Never scour them with a gritty sub- stance. Stainless steel cutlery should be cleaned just as you would clean a china plate, simply by careful washing with soap and water only, The bristles in household brushes of all kinds are usually fastened by door- | and wash tubs | For in- | imeans of a special cement or pitch. which will hold them very firm unless | kerosene or petroleum oils come in ontact with the cement.

Electrieal In addition to w hing machines, ironing machines, vacuum cleaners und dishwashers, there are many other electrical labor-saving devices which add to the efficiency and convenience of housekeeping. For instance, the small_household motor is remarkab uxeful, as sewing by motor requires very little energy.

The cost of the electric current consumed is very little per day. The vacuum cleaner takes the drudgery out of housework. This is an old story, but there are still plenty of housewives who have not heard it often enough. In addition to cleaning rugs, it has appliances that will clean mattresses, pillows, cushions, draperies and hang- ings of all kinds Furnishing the Bathroom. The bathroom, like the kitchen, must be considered from the standpoints of sanitation and convenience, supplying fixtures of highly polished nickel gleaming white enamel. A cabinet to hold bottles and jars is a convenience that can hang unon the wall or fit into a recess. It should have a mirror on the door, and_should hang over the wash in. Glass shelves should be *d in a bathroom. They are eas ned aud do not have to be re- painted.

The city couple had gone out te the pretty suburb to spend the week end, expecting to find a house set in ample grounds and dotted with trees and garden beds across a spreading lawn. What was their surprise to find that a quaint little low-lying cottage was Set upon quite as narrow a plot of ground as thelr own city lot. A {fat little line of hedge separated them from neighbors in sfmilar cot- | tages on either side, and there was no room on the patch of grassy earth | between the house and the pavement for snything more than a few bright iantuals up against the porch. When the guests had removed their wraps, however, their hostess led| them out through the dining room at the rear of the house, through a 1 French door which had been cutdown from one of the winflows, and then | down a short flight of steps to an| cqually diminutive back vard.

Of all the miracles that rise and pass upon this world of ours, there's nothing more miraculous than that dull earth of which it is composed. The soil has little showy beauty in itself. It does not move our souls to laughter or amaze. It lies forgotten underneath our feet. But while we go along our careless way., all that we need is builded by that vast and silent power we call “dirt. All foods and drinks are born deep in its heart— all glory of wrought gold and jew- els—the wickedness and beauty of fine steel, the homely strength of iron and ihe yielding grace of wood, are all born in the soil. Nothing we own or need but claims close kin- ship with that “dirt” beneath our feet.

Henry was nineteen and his little brother was six, Henry took a big brother's interest in his younger brother and tried to pass on the train- ing and the admonitions that had been 80 generously bestowed on him. Little Ben was in need of them, fo his father spoiled him dreadfully. He had been very strict with the other children. They had to obey on the instant. Their manners, their speech, their lessons were watched and sharply checked up if they were below the family standard. ‘When Ben came along all this was changed. He didn't pretend to obey. He stamped his feet and bade defiance to any one who even suggested that| he do something displeasing to his wishes. He left doors open or banged them, he scattered his belongings about him and refused to pick them up. He used whatever of the belong- ings of the others he chose. He made wild swipes all over Nell's new note book and played horse with Henry's beloved cane. At the table he was at his wors eating with his fingers, refusing a thing he didn’t fancy and reaching about for what he thought might please him. When he licked the sugar off his buttered bread Henry attempted to correct him. “You let him alone,” father. I'm here thundered his to correct him. You attend to yourself and that wili| give vou plenty to do. You ought to be ashamed to pick on your little brother.” Henry was angry. He knew that he had mnot been picking on his little brother, but that he had been trying to keep his little brother from be- coming 4 nuisance to himself and to other people. “Pick on him,” he retorted, “why he doesn’t give one a minute's peace. He's kicked me all through dinner. He has kicked the legs of the table until they are a sight. He ought to have on his slippers and he won't put them on. He's torn Nell's library and she’'ll have to account for {t. He needs looking after and a lot of it.” Now the father was angry in_his| turn. “Never vou mind what he does.
