THE HOME CIRCLE. “VICTORIA EARLE,” EDITRESS. —~ -0-——a [The object of this department is to pre- sent weekly to the female readers of the Brg, items of interest concerning the Home Cir- cle; and to assist in the success of the same. The ladies are earnestly requested to send original contributions (for which they will receive credit) weekly addressed to “Vic- TORIA EARLE,” EDITRESS HOME CIRCLE, 1125 Park Avenue, New York.| As a continuation of “hints” for house cleaning time [ would add a few more, with the hope that to some one, they will prove use- ful. In putting the wardrobe and clothes press in order, it will be necessary to put away the wool- ens for the summer; wearing aparet flannels, draperies, blauk- ets &c,, should be thoroughly air- ed, brushed and neatly mended, folded up carefully, with plenty of camphor in between the folds and laid where the moths wont destroy them: to some thisis a puzzling question, I know of nothing better than an extra sized cedar box for by laying woolen goods away in this kind of a box, there need be no fear of moths; some might say, that moderate means wont always allow room enough for such a large piece of furniture that can be used no other way save asa packing box, to such I would say this same box with a little trim- ming can be transformed into a most excellent lounge or (i- ran. Get the box a little less than six feet long, about three quar- ters of a yard in width, see that the cover is well hinged on, pro- cure tuur strong castors, screw them on securely, then cover the top with a cushion made to fit. Sometimes housekeepers, have @ mattrass that for several sea- son breaking in the certre, becoming lumpy asd such if emptied and picked over will do nicely for this purpose, excelsior which can be obtained for a trifling expenre, or common straw clipped in short pieces.) Secure this to the cover und make a cov- ering of pretty cretome with a narrow row of pleating around it. ‘The lower part of the box may be covered plainly or lay the cre- tome on in large pleats with a narrow one at the bottom; two square cushions, covered with the same material, stood upright across the back, gives a pleasing finish to this very inexpensive “convenience,” Auother good way to prevent moths, is towrap each garment to be put away in a whole news- paper with plenty of camphor between the folds. Some claim that a strip of cloth rolled. up and dipped in kerosene, and put among flannels will do a great deal of good. An excellent plan to keep soft woolen wraps or shawls that we do not care to put too far out ofreach, for fear of needing them onthe rainy days and rainy nights during summer, is to put them in bags made ot unbleached muslin, made especial- ly for the purpose, with two rows of stitching around the entire bag so that these troublesome insects wont be able to make the:r way through the seams, they wont eat their way through the muslin, put the wrap or what you wish to preserve in this bag, tie it up very tight and hang up. If moths gets in the carpet, and effective way to destroy them, is to uring cloths out of hot water and iron witha hot iron until the cloth is dry, the steam kills them, a little benzene or kero- sene poured in the coruers of the carpet will be effective, the scent will not liuger in the room long, nor will either of these liquids injure the carpet in the least. When one is in the habit of | scrubbing the carpets. if a pint if Builocks gall is udded to two gal- lons of water, it wilk make a most decided improvement, as it restores the brightness of the colors. In cleaning matting, a pint of salt to every pailful of water, improves the looks of it when dry. Ink stains can be removed from white goods by spreading a lit- tle salts of lemon and cold water fthe stain let it stand about ve minutes, then washing it out with soap and water after which thestain comes out; for colored goods use a teaspoonful of oxalic wood on the part of the officers acid in a teaspoonful. of hot wa- ter, rubbing the stained part well: Often through washing the dust from guilt frames, . the guilting is destroyed this can be remedied by washing such spots in water in which an onion has been boiled. A good way to utilize or make use ofa chair, the cane seat of which has become worn out with- out going to much expense is to tack astroug piece of carpet in the oponing after all the cane has been removed fill it with any con- venient stuffing and nail down over it, with brass headed tacks a square of new carpet this is strong, and lasting if not orna- mental; for a rocker another way ia to make a seat of two contrast- ing colors of braid used alter- nately after the basket pattern use upholstering braid as it is the most durable, ee VISITORS TO THE NATION- AL DRILL.
