Paint them old !gory, choosing a light, medium or dark finish, First see that your chair or table is free from dust. A good brushing is usually enough. The hose may be turned on reed furniture, but it should be thoroughly dry before you begin to paint. Next give the piece of furniture a coat of 'fiat white paint and allow it to dry for several days at least. Then give it a coat of white enamel and allow this to dry for at least three days. A week is better. If you want the light or yellowish old ivory finish get a jround of chrome yellow and miss with turpentine. Paint the piece of furniture all over with this. With a lintless cloth then wipe off all you can of the yellow. You cannot reach the inner surfaces, so these are left the deeper tint char- acteristic of old ivory finish. Enough of the yellow is left on the outer sur- faces of the etiamei to give the faint cream tint. If till article is rather large you should paint only part of it And then begin to rub it off before the yellow gets too dry. If you wish a medium ivory finish, use raw sienna instead of the chrome yellow. For the hrown tones nae burnt umber. The painting, you will fled, makes your furniture stronger and firmer as well as smoother and prettier. If mending is necessary it should, of Course, he done before you paint.

When the hot days coma upon us the appetite craves something cool and refreshing and fruit juices in suitable cementation, slightly sweet - tined and diluted, are best suited to strengthen and refresh the inner man -or woman ---or child. Lemons, oranges, fresh pineapples, Limes, all freak summer fruits and berries, spices, extracts, pure water, ginger ale and carbonated water are useful ingredients. In serving summer drinks at home make them attractive by serting them in tall, well -polished glasses garnished with a slice of fruit on the edge of the glass or a few bright cherries or a sprig of mint in the top of each glass.

"Are you going on a trip?" she asked, "Going on a sewing trip," I replied. She looked puzzled until I opened the suitcase and revealed the goods and trimmings for a dress. In the wide (drape tacked with small Up- holstery tacks to the inside of the lid were patterns, scissors and other things needed in sewing. Also tacked to the lidwere little cushions for pins and needles. At eadh end of the suit- case were pockets for thread, thimble, buttons, and so on. "Such a splendid idea," said my friend. "The lid keeps out the dust, and you have everything together." It certainly does save labor hunting for things when i go to sew. When the inevitable interruptions come I close up the case and put.it out of the way. It is easy to carry it to any part of the house, or outdoors it I wish to sew there.—Mary Meson, A SMART FROCK POR THE GROWING GIRL. 4764 To the girl who likes some- thing different, this style will appeal.

TO CLEAN ERMINE, Mix '}z Ib. of flour and le. lb, of powdered whiting well together and put in front of the fire or in a cool oven to warm through. Lay the ermine on a clean cloth or towel and rub In the mixture. Shake the for out of doors and heat tightly with a cane. Repeat the tient. stiesit if necessare. LABELING CANNED GOODS. Labeling canned goods in' either glass or tin is quickly and easily done if you write directly on the surface with a crayon or ebinaenerking pen- cil while the contents are still hot. The crayon melts slightly because of the heated jar or tin and on cooling is a clear label. Red, yellow and orange are good colors to use for the. Black may also be used on, tin but red is quite as clear, Again with tin, the label may be written on before the ran goes into the hot-water hath, The cooking process tends to ]take the writing the clearer.

There's len Indian's. forcing open, the stove door so that 'shaft of ruddy light cut like a red knife through the dense gloom of the cabin. In varying ways the sounds played a Bart in Billy's dreamy. In all those dreams,'and segmenta of dreams, the girl—his wife—was present, Once they had gone for wild flowers and had been caught In a thunderstorm, and had run to an old and disused barn in the middle of a field for AM - ter. He was back in that barn' again, with her --and her could feel her trembling against him, and was deck- ing her hair, as -the thunder crashed over them Unit -the lightning filled her eyes with fear: After that there came to him a vision' of the early auttimn nights when they hadgesnecorn roast- ing with other Young' people. He bad always been afflicted with a slight nasal trouble, and smoke irritated him. It set him sneezing and kept.itim dodg- ing about the fire, and she hadelways laughed when the smoke persisted in following hint --about, like a young scamp of a boy bent on tormenting hen. The smoke was unusually pee- sistent to -night. He tossed in hip bunk and burled his face in the blan- ket that answered for a pillow. The smoke reached him even there, and he sneezed chokingly. In that instant the girl's face disappeared. He sneezed again—and awoke. A startled gasp broke from his lips, and the handcuffs about his wrists clanked as he raised his hand to his face. In that moment his dazed senses adjusted themselves. The cabin was full of smoke. It partly blinded him, but through it he could see ton nos of g g fire shooting toward the ceiling. Ile could hear the crackling of burning pitch, and he yelled wildly to Brokaw. In an instant the sergeant was on his feet. He rushed to the table, where he had placed a pail of water the evening before, and Billy heard the hissing of the water as It struck the flaming wall. "Never mind that," he. shouted. "The shack's. built of pitch cedar. We've got to get out!" Brokaw groped his way to him through the smoke and began fumb- ling at the chair; about his ankles. • "1 can't—find—tile-key—" he gasped chokingly, "Here --grab hold of mel" lie caught Billy under the arms and dragged him to the door, As he open- ed It the wind came in with a rush and behind them the whole cabin buret into a furnaee of flame, Twenty. yards from the cabin he dropped Billy in the snow, and ran back. In that seething room of smoke and lire was everything on which their lives de- pended, food, blankets, even their coats and caps and snowshoes. But he could get no farther than the door. Ile returned to Billy, found the key in his pocket, and freed him from the chain about his ankles. Billy stood up. As he looked' et' Brokaw the glass in the window inks and a sea of flame spurted through, It lighted up their face,'. The sergeant's jaw was set hard. Itis leathery face was curious- ly white. lis could not keep front shivering. There was a strange smile ore Billy's Mee, and a strange look in his eyes, Neither of the two men had undressed for sleep,` but their coats, and caps; and heavy Teletexts were in the flame, Billy rattled lits handcuffs. Brokaw looked him squarely In the eyes. "You ought tp know this ,country," he said. "What'll we do?" "The nears3t post is sixty miles from here," suit' Billy. - "l lrnow that," replied Brokaw, "And,1 know that Thoremu's cabin is only twenty /piles frons here There must be snore traijsjiei' or Indian cheek nearer Chau that.

That'll giveme another chance for South America—. an' the kid at home." I Brokaw was buttoning the thick col- lar of his shirt elose up about 'his neck, On his face, too, there came for a moment a grim' and determined "smile. r "Come ;" h.said. •"We'll ]take Thoreau's orondiele" "Sure," said Billy, stepping quickly to his side. "1 stippose I might lie down in -the snow, an' refuse to budge. I'd win my game then, wouldn't I? But we'll play it -on the square, It's Thoreat's or die. And it's up to you to find Thoreau'a." He looked back over -his shoulder at the burning cabin as they entered the edge of the forest, and in the gray darkness that was preceding dawn he smiled to himself. Two miles to the eolith, in a thick swamp, was Indian' Joe's shack. They could have made it easily. On their way to Thoreau's they would pass within a mile of it, But Brokaw would never know. And they would never - reach Thoreauf's. Billy knew that He looked at the' man hunter as he broke trete ahead of him—at the pugnacious hunch: of his shoulders, his long stride, the de- termined clench of bis : hands, and wondered what the soul and the heart of a man like this 'must be, who in such an hour would not trade,life for life. For almost three-quarters of an hour Brokaw did not utter a word, The storm had broke. Above the spruce tops the sky began to clear. Day came slowly. And it was grow- ing steadily colder. The swing. of Bro- lalow's arms and shoulders kept the' blood in Ahem circulating, while Billy's m.anaeled . wrists' held a paxt of his hotly alinoet .rigid. He' knew that his hands were already frozen,f: Itis arms were' numb,, and when at last Brokaw paused for a'moment on the edge of a frozen stream Billy thrust out his hands, and clanked the steel rings.
