The Successful Hostess How the Summer Cotta Her Home Popular W to Enjoy He NASMUCH as the owner of a Summer cottage. or week end cottage usually dispenses with help and runs it herself, the chief consideration in pianning the fur nishing is that of saving work. Com nlete sets of fireproof glass dishes for cooking are very desirable, as they are more easily and quickly cleaned than any other kind. If food is burned them, they can be scraped with knife. Rustless knives are <able. and there is a clever little in vention for affixing to the carving fork y means of which they can be sharp ened. There is also a new metal for tableware resembiing electroplate. but intarnishable, so that it does not re quire ps hing As regards crockery. something turesque is most suitable for this p nose. There are many very prett kinds of cottage crockery from which 1o choose apot, sugar howl. and ream pitcher can now be bought in beaten pewter, which does not require cleaning and looks well on an oak table The most important question from the labor-saving point of view in the living rooms and bedrooms is the floor covering., and Japanese matting s by far the easiest thing to deal with. Tt should be made up in a square 1nd surrounded by stained boards, and aid with felt paper underneath. It ioes not collect dust like®a carpet and with a soft only needs sweeping over broom each day. To keep it clean, it should be washed over twice a veal on the top and underneath and laid in the garden to dry A gate table and lounge cane chairs with plenty of cushions are hest for a Summer cottage. Bright colored toiletware and durable cur- tains to match are charming for the bedrooms. One of the problems in connection with a Summer cottage s the giring of the beds when they have not been slept in for some time but this can be avoided if the mat tresses.are kept in waterproof cov ers and the blankets in a large tin box when not in use Bungalow Kitchen. In a small bungalow kitchen where economy of cupboard space is neces- sary it is a good idea to have a shelf set about 15 inches under the table top. This can be used for holding ucepans or crockery. It is quite easy to conceal it by a deep ruffle| of material. If the kitchen is very small, a flat seat that n be let down when not in use, attached to one of the legs of the table, is useful Iron brackets fastened to the table egs and to the floor will steady the table. When a bungalow kitchen is used as a dining room, it is certainly an advantage to conceal the sink when it is not in use with a board surrounded by a ruffle around three sides of it. The spigots aue con cealed by small doll covers dressed in peasant costumes. Space is econ and the appearance of the is improved if a narrow shelf flitted around two or three of the walls about 3 feet from the floor It can then accommodate any deco- ative china Chairs for Summer. Cane-seated chairs are frequently colored blue, dull red or orange, to suit the requirements of modern col- schemes. Although the natural cane color often harmonizes well with various schemes, these colored seats provide a useful note of color 4 room. When cane-seated chairs have be- come worn, it i8 quite a good idea 0 reseat them with one and one-half- inch braid or carpet binding. chool ing colors that blend with the deco- rations of the room for which the chair in intended. Two contrasting shades of brald mav be used to- gether with good effect. Strips of the material cut to the size required can be interlaced across the seat, one or two colors being used, and finished on the frame of the chair with brass or copper-headed tacks, or each strip may be brought over the edge and tacked underneath the seat 4 Popular Hostess. The hostess who is generally voted a real success is the one who is not drastic in her duties. The guests who come to stay with her are made to feel that they are very welcome in her house. and their comfort is assured but they are not ail treated by rule with engagements mapped out for their every waking hour. although & certain amount of entertainnient is arranged for them. A week is cohsid ered quite a long stay nowadavs, and two or three nights the usual one, and it behooves ihe hostess to name defi nite dates to her visitors when invit ing them The hostess who Is thoughtful gives her guests a choice of theaters, opera concerts and so on before they arrive. | 80 that tickets may be secured, and also indicates anyv special engage. ments she mav have made for them adding a wish that if there is anv thing special they want to do, or any particular friends they would like to meet, she may be told of them In her guests’ rooms a thoughtfu hostess will see that there are all the little comforts required, such as ink and note paper and pins of various Kinds. She will soon discover or bid ner maid find out her guests’ prefer ences for early tea or col breakfast upstairs or down. and ‘al bedtime whether milk or cocoa be the desired nightcap. The guest wh is as tactful as her hostess makes a far better impression than the one who obviousty regards her visit as an event solely for her own enjovment Some hostesses are very particular upon such points as the guest putting herself entirely at her hostess’ disposal. They do not like engagements (o be made with other ‘riends before the visit begins, arg ing that to do so renders th house nn better than # hotel. When the zive-and-take of visiting is understood on both sides there is real benefit h d_her_gue. many Guticura Clears The Skin 0f Blemishes 1f you have pimples or red, rough skin you can rely on Cuticura to help you.
