When the pattern of an oilcloth covered floor has worn onit may be taken up, turned over, receive two good Coats of paint on the wrong side and be put down again. The paint roust be allowed to dry thor- oughly. Painted walls are best for a kitch- en, and they should be finished ith a coat of enamel paint. 'Then ey can be washed without injury. ju y. he best way to do this Is by using a large carriage sponge fitted to a long -handled mop -holder. Many young housekeepers wear old kid gloves to protect the hands whoa sweeping and performing other duties that are hard on them. A pair of men's buckskin gloves Is better. The feather is thicker and protects tho hands better, and it whitens the hands and softens them. When a bureau drawer sticks and refuses to pull out comfortably, take it out and rub common yellow soap freely on the lower edges, on the pieces on which it slides and on the wide front piece. Return the drawer to its place, pull it. hack and forth a few times and you will have no fur- ther trouble. For a change, try putting the shortening on the outside instead of inside of the biscuit. Mix the dough with buttermilk and socia in the us- ual way, put a spoonful of lard in the bread pan and melt. Boll out and cut the biscuits, then turn them over in the pan and bake in a quick oven.
