HOUSECLEANING SUGGESTIONS It is easy to make changes in a home! during house-cleaning time, and there are usually a number of little things! that can be changed, without cost, that; will contribute toward a more artistic atmosphere. If your pictures have been hung with .a wire coining to a point at the moulding and forming a V shape, try hanging them with two wires, -'each wire being vertical, thus agreeing with the vertical line of the frame. The other way is inartistic and not restful to the eye. If your woodwork is tan, light brown or yellow, dye your white win- dow curtains cream color. They will harmonize with the wood work and give a warm glow to the room. The dyeing is very simple. Purchase a pound of yellow ochre at any paint or hardware store. This will cost less than ten cents and is enough for six or seven usings. Put a little of this powder into a small salt bag and tie up the top. Dip this in aapan of water until the water becomes the desired shade. After the curtains have been washed, dip them in this solution until they are the right color remembering that they will dry lighter. Stretch them if possible. If not, hang them up. before ironing as rolling will often leave them streaked. Enamel a few olive bottles of good lines, in bright colors to harmonize with the room. Absolutely, no artistic skill is necessary. Simply purchase. a small can of enamel and a brush and paint right on the glass. If you de- sire light blues, rose color or other light colors mix white enamel with the color. Clean the brush with turpen- tine. The plain black vases are very attractive. Budding branches, pussy willows or flowers in a new vase of the right color will• add a bright touch to a room. If you possess an old-fashioned china closet containing a motley array of dishes, curtain it with cretonne, or gingham. Eliminate all unnecessary bric-a- brac. photographs and calendars. There is no rule better than the old one of William Morris': "Have no- thing in your home that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful," and it can be applied to every home. — - A Poem You Ought to Know..

A child is by nature a questioner and seeker of knowledge. In trying to knew himself and the world about him, he asks questions of everyone who .comes his way. But many, too many, of these questions pass unanswered or are evasively answered. Questioning is thinking. When a child asks questions he is thinking and his mind is' growing. Whether we answer his questions or not, and how we answer them influences eases the' extent of development of the child's! mind. If we answer the child's ques- tions honestly, truthfully and under- standingly, his mind will grow stead- ily and as surely as his healthy body, grows. If the parents and others turn the, child aside with an excuse that they must not be bothered with 'questions and "to run along and play," it forces the child's mind into a rut, robs the 1 '1d f th tl •'ll f 1 ', d f often wouldget him and laughed andjudge y y on. ou n'e seem to get recapture • , g No need for aud a or jury."
