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 n more artistic
atmosphere.
If your pictures Have been hung
with a wire corning 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 on
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 a pan of water
until the seater 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 I
before ironing as rolling will often
leave them streaked.
Enamel a few oli•re bottles of good
lines, in bright colors to harmonize
with the room. Absolutely no arti"tic
skill is necessary. Simply purchase a
small can of enamel and a brush and -
paint right on the glass. If you de-
sire light },lues, 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. Mudding 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 arr,ey
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 e e home.
y
SHOULD WE ANSWER THEIR
QUESTIONS.
A child is b nature a questioner
y t eq one
and seeker of knowledge. In trying to
know 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 hisquestions or not, an
o,ad
how we answer them influences 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
child of the thrill of learning, and of
discovering new things, and dulls his
enthusiasm for knowledge.
We recall the incident of the little
boy who had listened to a very impres-
sive ghost story as narrated by an
elder friend. Hurrying home he asked
his father, "What is a ghost, daddy?"
"It is a boogy man who will get you
if you're not a good bay," answered
the father as he went on about his
work.
This little fellow went through boy -

Approximately' seventy -Ove per cent.

THE GLADIOLUS
The gladiolus is a flower that is not
grown as largely as it deserves. Prob.
ably the two main reasons for this are,
first, that it is not sold In the nommen
seed packets; and, second, it is very
easy to lose one's whole stock of gladi-
oli if one dig them in k forgets to he
