I had one and covered t. with linoleum, and never had known kitchen -flour gem - fort before. I can wash it 111-1131t1C lately in fifteen minutee. Some author- ities recommend waxing it. And while on the subject of linoleum, unless you have one of the excellent enameled - top kitchen tables, have light-colored linoleum applied to your table. This is a tremendous convenience. Shelves around the sink and in the kitchen • pantry should receive a coat of var- Have you in your home a white •elephant in the way of a small marble- • topped table, purchased in What is now referred to as "that awful per- iod"—too ginger-bready at the base to make it peesentable? We had, and I finally decided to have the base c,hopped for kindling wood and to establish the marble top in the kit- chen pantry, where it proveciainvalu- able as a molding board for pastry, bread, cookies and the like. I should find it hard to. get along without it As a part of the kitchen furniture include a high stool or chair to use when ironing, preparing vegetables and rolling cookies and so forth. This also is invaluable. - Over the sink place- a row of neat hooks. On these should hang a dip- per, egg beater, large spoon, a good sized strainer and also a small strain- er. There should be • a pair of stout kitchen scissors—never to be: taken from the room --for cutting not only paper and string, but for mincing • parsley, 13hredding lettuce or dried • beef. Back of some pipe should hang a • a^couple of sharp -vegetable knives, a fork and a split clothespin. Why the clothespin? Try it as a scraper when something has stuck on your pet • aluminum or granite saucepan and you will never he without it again. The dish mop should hang in the air- iest corner. These I regard as kitchen h, essentials—for me. A few of the more unusual aids that I especially value are: • Iron apple parer; I have used the same one for • forty years and it will still give me a perfect, thin, entire paring. Egg andsfbeet slicer; this dainty, well -made little utensil is expensive but looks •• as though it would last forea-er. • I -- • should hesitate to keep house without either or the above. By means of the slicer a hard-boiled egg is thinly and exquisitely sliced in a trice for salads • and garnishes. Cucumber latticer; this consists of a fluted knife set in a board and lattices cucumbers, cook- ed beats and raw potatoes in the most • attractive way. A box of garnishing utensils has preyed a joy to my soul, and the implements are simple enough to be practical; I use them continually. Saucepans and double boilers of • various sorts should be abundant and spick and span. Two -quart plain, • straight -up-and-down glass jars with glass covers, bought at the ten -cent store, are the most valued containers in my pantry. They, hold rice, salt, tea, herniny and other groceries. • by "the side of the house. Little stonee big rocks, flat rocks and round onesaa any kind that are conveniently handy will do. •The large stones will have to be placed for her by someone else, but little Miss Gardener will enjoy bringing hi the othere from every- where, particularly the sand pile. With the smaller ones she may build a castle. Close around the larger ones she will plant her flowers, which may be some of the same that naither has in her garden. Sa.eetatlyssum, portu- -laca, snow -in -summer, annual baby's breath and the little eld-fashioned harebell all grow prettily around roeks. Wild sweet William carpets the ground in little drifts, ,and wood violets are pretty tucked in between the rocks. AJ1 of those first named will grow from seed as will the ice plant, which is vo very interesting on account of its thick fleshy leaves and •stems that appear to be covered with water frozen in little drops..., A snap- dragon plant or two would not be put of place and it is so much fun to make •the little flowers snap. In order to know where to place the rocks, throw a handful of small stones , and wherever they light, place •the larger ones. A 'flat dish of some sort • filled with water and perched on one of the stones Will invite the birds. CURTAIN LAUNDERING. Curtains will last much `longer if They are folded several times and then loosely tacked with thread before washing. Probably every housekeep- er has had the experience of having cui.tains go to pieces in the proceee of washing. This is because when the curtain, he,avy with water, is lifted the weight tears the delicate threads. I Even new curtains are frequently damaged. Since curtains are seldom sailed. in any one place, they may be thoroughly washed and rinsed liefore . being unfolded; and even tender old curtains will come through Without undue damage. • • Small delicate articles, such as lace collars, cuffs, centrepieces and hand- iterchiefs, should be placed in a gen- erous-sei..ed cheesecloth bag before be- ing placed in the washer. They will emerge from -the bag beautifully clean and need not be handled separ- ately until ready for drying A COMFORTABLE PLAY GARMENT. • , 'This style is ea,sy A LITTLE GIRL'S ROCK GARDEN. ari45 20. a has practical feato developtures, Th'a leg , A little will love a rock garden portions may be -finished with ar with- • ' all her own where she can pile up out the leg bands.
