This useful little stand into which newspapers may be slipped is quite easy to make and the amateur may undertake it without fear of fallure. A strong wooden box of a suitable size should be obtained, and a well- made case that has, perhaps, contain- ed a dozen bottles of spirits or wine will be found very suitable for the purpose, and may be obtained from any grocer almost for the asking. One end should be removed, and 8 portion of the lid, and the remaining portion of the latter securely nailed down in its place, and the conmstruc- tion thus obtained Is shown in the dlagram at top of the sketch, This woodwork has then to be up- bolstered and must be covered with e some suitable material, cream colored art llnen having been used in the stand from which our sketch was made. It is an easy matter to fasten on the material inside and underneath the box with tacks, and the woodwork should be covered wherever it will be visible. The word “newspapers” was work- ed in dark blue silk on the linen cov- ering the front of the box, and this portion was further ornamented with a border of tiny brass-headed nails driven in close together, and the edges of the stand were decorated in a like manner. AWAY WITH WINTER RUGS Floor Coverigs of the Lightest De- scription Should Be Used Dur Ing Summer Months. The housewife who desires her sum- mer home to appear restful, cool and comfortable will remove the thick- napped floor coverings which have done service during the winter. - ———————— ——————— They disagreeably emphasize the warmth and stufliiness of the room.‘ and are extremely difficult to clean. After making the rugs and carpets moth-proof roll them upon poles and | store away until the cool days of fall. There are plenty of light, cool floor coverlngs to be had under the names | of colonial, cottage and bungalow rugs { which are inexpensive, attractive and practical. There are rugs woven of cotton yarn, without seams and in any size desired. Many pretty designs are to be found in these rugs, or they may be had in plain colors. | Returning to the days of the “four- poster” and figured chintz curtains, v | find the rag carpet. | One of the popular rugs for the summer cottaze is woven of rags, with | a landscape border showing small] blouses set among trees and a portion | of the counery road. \ There are factories where you may | send your rags to be woven. To pro- | duce the best effect the rags should | be dyed a uniform color. Pale blue, | green, pink and light tan make an ef-! fectlve covering for the floor. ! The braided rugs, scorned for 8o | long, are fashionable again. Thelr; wearing qualities are proverbial. ! These rugs are easlly made at| home, the rags bralded and fastened | together. Japanese matting is always cool, and the soft pliable variety woven of fine grass s especially pretty. An- lnther Japanese importation s the jute rug. This is woven of hemp fiber There are grass rugs manufactured {n shades of green, brown and blue: when combined with wicker furniture | to mateh, it is most artistic | Narrow strips with bound | make splendid hall runners. edges [ Not for Young Girls. [ Fspecially fatal is It for a voung | girl to be a high light girl. 17 her |own frlends do not spot her thelr | mothers w!ll. Many a debutante will-| ingly permits herse!f to be eclinsed | { by a brilliant companion whom she | admires; but her mother is sure to| resent it, and takes care that it does | not happen often. The eclipser finds herself without {nvitations because | she s mot clever enough to give her less clever friends their chance. The high light girl soon deterion ates. Because she thinks always of self, she grows hard, selfish and. as she sees her power to dazzle wane, she adopts spurious methods to keep in the Ilimelight. Sometimes she grows risque, again scandal-monging or caustic, anything to center Interest on herself. She fails to realize that real charm s dimmed by forced play for attention, for if she is not a shin- fog light she is miseradle. Cleaning Velvet. To clean light colored velvet, cordu. roy or felt, rub the solled portion lightly with the cut surface of a day- old loaf of white bread, cutting off the surface as fast as it becomes discol- ored !kem arovnd.”—HBoston Transcript, { second and fourth Thursday nights lof each month at 7:30 p. m. LINGERIE ALMOST TOO DAINTY Elaboration of Lace and the Finest of Hand Work Is Now the De- mand of Fashion. No notable changes have been made recently in underciothing. It possible, 1t is more than ever irreproachable in cut and of a daintiness that entices one into spending every cent of one's pin money, just as though no provision need be made for anything to wear over the fascinating frillies. Probably vou have heard that so much lace was. never used before, that chemises and combination sets are veritable cob- webs of lace and lawn and even whol- Iy composed of more diaphanous and filmy fabric. It is difficult to avoid thinking of our granimammas and how, in their view of it, pretty underclothing was scarcely respectable. Certainly we bave changed all that and know no longer the regime of unbleached calico and handmade crochet—and yet a lingering prejudice survives against the overdressy, overtransparent gar- ment of lingerie, whether it be worn by night or by day. About Carpets. A weak solution of oxalic acld ap- plied very carefully to inkstains on carpets will remove them. If this | changes the color, it may be restored | by ammonia water. When sweeping thick carpets always follow the weave of the pile. The car- pet will wear much longer and look better. Carpets should be lifted from the floor at least once a year and thor- oughly cleaned. The dirt which col- lecis beneath grinds and cuts the threads. Wait untfl the floor has thoroughly dried before relaying a carpet. The tacks are apt to rust and injure the carpet. Stalr carpets should be heavily padded it you desire them to wear well. Remedy for Damp Walls. Boll two quarts of tar with two ounces clean (kitchen) grease In an fron saucepan of convenient size, for a quarter of an hour. To this mix- ture add some slaked lime and very finely pounded glass which has bean previously put through a hairsieve. Two parts lime to one of glass and worked to the thickness of a thin plaster. Use as soon as made as it soon becomes hard. One coat an inch thick will generally anszwer the pure pose, but if wall {s very damp, two coats may be applied. Taint over the cement or plaster and, if wanted, it may be papered as any ordinary wall Wherein the Difference. Casey (watching the golfers)—“Of don't cee anny dift rence beehune thot | an' worrk."
