But if you want to show your allegiance to French fashions, then match vour slippers to your trock. The black slipper, save when worn with the ‘black frock and flesh colored stockipgs, may be economical, but it is certainly no longer smart. One of the shoes shown in the sketch is of brown and white kid—a shoe of the type now known as a “high- heeled sport shoe.” Once, of course the shoe salesman smiled or looked perplexed if you asked for a shoe of that description. Obviously high heels didn't grow on sport shoes. High heels would be shooed off any tennis court and no one could play golf in high-heeled shoes. But there are countless sport frocks and hats that never get any nearer to & tennis net or a putting green than the country club veranda—and with clothes of this description the high- heeled sport shoe is well chosen.

When a sweater is washed, if the buttonholes are sewed to- gether before putting the sweater in the water, the but- tonholes will not stretch. The best way to remove stains from tiled hearths is to rub them with kerosene and sand. This combination should be used in the place of soap and water. To keep tiles in good condition they should be washed twice & week with a little kerosere and water. Bricks around fireplaces should be cleaned with vinegar. To clean marble basins, make a'paste of whiting and soft soap and apply it with a soft cloth. Rinse with cold water and rub dry. For cleaning all kinds of tea- pots, pot lids, insides of pots ‘and pans, and enameled ware, nothing can equal wet emery cloth. It is splendid also for pelishing tin er zinc basins. It is true economy to have two pairs of shoes in use instead of one, wearing them on alternate days. It will be found that the two pairs will In many cases last as long as three pairs worn continuously. Dry or oiled mops should be well shaken each time after use, and occasionally should be washed in hot soapsuds, rinsed in clear hot water, and dried as quickly as possible. Olled mops may be renewed by pouring on them a few drops of kerosene or floor oil and letting them stand until the oil spreads through the strings. olored stockings with a frock of blue [ re you goed in J Geography ?

Ry DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX “Good” Father Who Is Model in Public, But Brow- beats Family at Home—Husband Who Married a Marble Goddess. [DEAR MISS DIX: What is wrong with a husband and father who is good morally, who claims to be a good Christian, always attends church, spends his evenings at home and provides for his family, but who never has a kind word for his family? This men has a furious temper, and gets angry at his wife every time she falls to think just as he does, and he is hard and cruel to his children, but he is so pleasant to outsiders that he is held up as a model in the community. Is there any way to make him be more conslderate to his own family? L. T. Answer: I think everything is wrong with the man who is an angel outside of the home and a devil within it.

A Crib Mattress. One mother say: 1 made my own mattress for my baby’s crib, saving money, without a great deal of effort. 1 bought two rolls of high-grade quilted cotton, three pounds to the roll, and folded these together to fit the crib. Then 1 made a cover of heavy unbleached muslin with fitted_ends, leaving one side seam open. This I slippéd over the cotton, whipped the remaining seam by hand, apd tacked the mat- tress hero and there with a long darning needle and heavy cord. I have kept a quilted wash pad over this.

Unfortunately, there are many men of this kind. I have known men celebrated for their generosity and whose names headed every subscription list, who were 8o niggardly at home that their wives had to corkscrew every penny out of them. I have known.men who wore the smile that never came off in public, and the grouch that never ended at home. I have known men noted for their gallantry and chivalry to women, who beat and swore at their own wives. I have known temperance leaders who went on debauches of rage at home. . I have known men who lived up to the letter of the moral law, who broke their wives' hearts with their coldness and neglect, and who were worse husbands than any drunkard, or gambler, or roue who had a little kindness or tenderness in his' soul. The only way.to change a man of this sort is to make him see what a hypocrite he is, and this is hard to do, because he is blinded with his own self-righteousness. He doesn’t realize that it is just as dishonest to defraud his family of happiness as it would be to rob some one of money; that it is just as cruel to refuse to bestow a little kindness on his wife and children as it would be to turn away from a starving beggar, and that when he blights his children’s youth and kills his wife's joy in living he has committed murder just as much as if his hands were wet with the blood of a fellow creature.

[D¥AR DOROTHY DIX: We are a couple of young girls 16 years old. Wil you please give us a few suggestions about how to pass the evening, as we do not care for either sewing or reading and do not go out? ANXIOUS. Answer: Well, my dears, there is conversation left to you. That's the favorite indoor sport of women. And there are eards, a knowledge of which Talleyrand advised all to acquire in their youth in order that they might not pass a bored old age. And there are puzzle games, particularly the tross- word puzzle, which is making all of us sit up of nights just now. But if you do not sew or read you are deprived of the two great resources of your sex, and my earnest advice to you is to cultivate a fondne: for both. 1f you like to sew and like to read you can never really be bored, because you have always something interesting to do, something new and wonderful to think about. Every girl should learn to sew, because if she can mske pretty things herself she can have 10 times as many good clothes as she can if she has to have them made; because, if she marries, she will need to know how to sew to take care of her children; and because, if the worst comes to the worst, she can always make her living with her needle. Svery zirl should acquire a fondness for reading, because she is a dumb-bell if she doesn’t read, and because of the many times that will come | to her in life when she will be.sick, or sad, or lonely, and she will find her | only refuge is in books. They will carry her over the rough places. So, Anxious little girls, I urge you to get some one to teach you how to sew. Form a little club of girls who rew of evenings together, and while you are sewing have one of your number read aloud to you some thrilling story of adventure. In that way vou will learn to love both sewing and reading. DOROTHY DIX (Copyright.)

Did you ever wonder what the dragon, or the serpent, or the stork on_your Chinese rug means? The Oriental peoples are exceed- tngly symbolical. To them a rug is never just a rug; it is a sentiment. So that it is impossible for the in- tensely . practical-minded American fully to 4ppreciate a Chinest rug without some knowledge of its de- signs. Even their colors—wonderful blues and tawny golds—are not employed merely to catch the eye, but to initi- ate one Into some Oriental mystery. One of the first things that a stu- dent of Chinese rugs always remarks is the prevalence of mythological animals—the dragon, serpent, uni- corn, and so on—in the designs. The dragon in China is worshiped and feared. They have their dragons of the air, of the sea and of the earth. Two dragons are often seen guarding the sacred pearl], representing the guarding of Wisdom from the grasp of the demons, a prominent idea in all Chinese superstition. The unicorn s the symbol of good government and longevity. The lion, or the dog, which defends the altars and temples of Buddha, repfesents energy and power. It is called the dog of Buddha or the dog of ¥o, and carries out the same theme as that of the dragon and the pearl. The stork is the usual s longevity. It was believed mbol of to live to a fabulous age—some say 2,000 years—and then turn black. Tre black stork is very sigmificant in Chiness design. Like so many others, the tortoise, too, denotes longevity. The Chinese sav: ‘“May®your days be as long as the tortoise and the stork.” The bat is very much con- ventionalized and signifies happi- n The butterfly typifies vanity, and also takes the place in Chinese romance of our “Cupid” A pair of fish indicates married happiness er domesticity. It is not always possible to pick out these various devices in a Tug at a glance. The Chiness have a habit of overlaying the design with an intricate network or filets, loops and streamers which are quite con- fusing to the eve, and render the tantalizingly inconspicuous. ed-ribbon work {tself is symbolical, and when associated with stars and cloud, may signify Paradise.
