WHEN CLEANING HOUSE

T-JERE are a few good recipes for polishing furniture and floors that may be found useful when the spring cleaning Is In operation: Furniture Polish. Melt equal parts of a Rood white soap and beeswax in

Just sufficient turpentine to produce a creamy paste. For some kinds of wood It is better If one part of soap is used to two parts of beeswax. To melt the soap and beeswax sta.nd the pan or jar containing them in another three parts full of boiling water, for it Is not advisable to melt the beeswax over the fire. This polish Is fine to use on mahog

any furniture: Put Into a bottle one-

half pint of turpentine, one gill of

methylated spirit, one-half pint of lin

seed oil and one gillof vinegar. Shake

these all well together till thoroughly

blended and always shake before using.

When old furniture Is to be revived

trv this recipe: Put into a pan two

of nces of yellow wax, one-half pint of boiled linseed oil and one ounce of boiled slkanet root. Stand this in a double boiler till the wax is all melted and the whole is well colored with the a'.kanet; then strain It, and when cool add a gill each of spirits of turpentine and vinegar. Mix well and use. Apply on a piece of flannel and rub sharply, always rubbing with the grain of the wood. Finish with a clean flannel, and, lastly, polish with an old silk handkerchief. This polioli la especially good for rosewood and dark walnut.

This recipe will be found good if one has a floor to stain and polish: Wash

the floor to be stained with plenty of

hot water and soda, but no soap, re

moving all grease spots and paint, scraping it if necessary with glass and then sandpapering it, always working

with the grain of the wood. Mark out the part to be stained, if It is only a

border which is required. Leave the

floor until it is absolutely dry and be

sure there is no dust on the surface

If it is to be stained oak color take

from one-half pound to one pound.

according to the darkn ss of tone re

quired, of logwood chips, boil them hard

for half an hour in five quarts of soft

water and then strain through muslin

Add to the liquor sir ounces of cake annatto and one pound of thinly sliced

yellow wax, then stand the pan con

tain I rig the mixture in another con

taining three-quarter parts of boiling

water and stir it until the wax is melted. Apply it to the floor while still hotj

using a paint brush and always working with the grain cf the wood. Let It stay on overnight and the next day polish with a hard brush. After that polish with beeswax. To make white paint look like real enamel take a piece of caustic soda the size of a marble and dissolve thoroughly in a wineglass of spirits of turpentine. Add to this a two pound tin of white zinc paint. Stir well, and It is ready for use. When dry it will be' found to give a fine glossy surface which almost equals enameL

fif Tricks With Tulips iftf

rjTULIPS may be very provoking at

times, iney win insist on opening

out in the most blatant way long be

fore the visitors they are to charm or the meal they are to grace is due. Worse than this, their colors sometimes deteriorate In the most lamentable way. But all this may be prevented by the woman who deals firmly with her flowers. Tulips are greedy and drink too much when put in water, so they should be taken from their vases at night and laid in a cool dark place quite out of water altogether. By this means they will be kept from opening

overwlde before their time or losing

their clear color. One hostess always puts her tulips in clear glass vases because of the delicate green, of the stems and leaves which is so delightful and loses its effect somewhat in the colored earthenware which suits so many flowers, but to get the best effect the glass must be polished and the water clear to the highest possible degree. Another annoying way that tulips have is that of coming with their heads bent

and their stalks twisted all one way

a serious matter if one has only a small supply. This may be remedied by setting the tulips in water up to their necks, when it will be found that they straighten themselves after a time.

Do You Think This Is Honest?

MOTHER who proudly asserts that her daughter dresses on "next to nothing a year" explained how she did It to an interested group of women recently. When several had shown their appreciation of her cleverness a young irtman of the party asked quietly, "But do you think that is honest?" . This economical dresser tours the hops until she finds Just the frock she wants; then she has the saleswoman send it home "on approval," and she

end the clever daughter "work like mad" to copy the style. This done, the saleswoman is asked over the telephone to send for it, as the shopper has decided not to keep it. "Oao she ripped out the yoke to cut pattern from it and sewed it back so that no one would ever know the dif

ference." the mother boasted. Neither mother nor daughter does w!l at millinery, so hats sent out on approval are taken to a wonderful young woman milliner who has not yet "arrived," and she duplicates them e.t half the eost asked by the shop from which tbey were borrowed. "It la tl simplest thing In the world," the Ifcotber explained, "and I wonder that nor people do not think of It. Uartuna.tely for the shops, too many

persons think of it, flattering them selves in so doing that they are "splen

did managers." But, as the lone re- j

iiiuuaLi .iur sliu lu . mo economical dresser, "Is it honest?"

FLORAL BEAD CHAIN. A REAL novelty is floral bead chains for neckwear. The beads are the colors of the flowers from which they are made. For instance, a rose chain made from pink roses will be the exact color of the Bald flower. Each bead is made of cruehed rose paste In composition with other material and wrought

in a special design. The notable thing

about these beads ia that when they become warm from contact with the

throat they exhale the natural odor of

the flower. They are made from roses.

violets and any other flowers with strong perfume. The beads In every Instance will be of the color of the flower.

A USEFUL form of the chaise lounge.

SPRING HAT FOR YOUNG GIRL

WHY DEEP 5REA1H1NG IS GOOD FOR YOU

X r jiS JV A.sgxr -S I (

"OEOFLE who practice deep breath- . lng and learn to breathe properly are not nearly so liable to throat and chest troubles as those who have never studied the art of deep breathing. The reason is this: Each breath drawn in brings a supply of oxygen to replenish and purify the impure blood in the lungs, and each breath exhaled is laden with the poison it has taken frcm the blood in exchange for the oxygen. So that a person who breathes short, half hearted breaths never takes Th enough oxygen to reach down to the bottom of the lungs and purify them or breathes out sufficiently to empty them to the bottom, so that a certain amount of poison is left behind at every breath. Deep, regular breathing empties and replenishes the lungs and keeps them clean and healthy. Deep breathing, too, is good as a beauty culture. The exercise of taking deep breaths with a weight bal

anced on the head strengthens the muscles of the head and neck and gives one a really good carriage and an ad

mirable poise of the head.

This exercise may be varied by

walking up and down for ten minutes or so with the arms folded behind the back and the weight still balanced upon the head.

Not only that, but If you learn to

control the breathing you can successfully practice singing loud, long sustained notes,, which are especially good for weak throats and chests and. from the beauty point of view, improve the appearance of the neck and bust immensely.

There Is another benefit too. One

sort of control helps another. If you keep control of your breath you can

THE NEW DERBY.

T"HE aat pictured Is the fcew spring derby that young girls who affect the

latest cry In headgear will entirely approve. The straw Is so pliable that the hat may be turned Inside out without detriment to its aoDearance. This

elongated shape, with Its rakishly rolling brim, la one of the smartest models of

the spring and summer season.

then keep control of yourself as well. Next time you feel that you are at the end of your tether and that your self control is rapidly slipping away from you try the deep breathing. It will help you wonderfully to get a grip on yourself again. Siand la front of a widely opened window, put your hands well back on your hips. Angers pointing forward, and take two or three deep breaths, gently exhaling in the same way. It Is wonderful how this steadies one's nerve. Try It some day when you are feeling inclined to weep hysterically and you will realize how effective it is. And it is very Important that one should not overdo things in any case. This is where "amateurs, exercising entirely on their own responsibility, generally go wrong. They think that by exercising a lot they will improve In health sooner. Never waa there a greater mistake. Begin gently. Don't try to do too much. One exercise repeated six times is enough at the start. Don't be discouraged if you cannot draw very deep breaths at flrst. You will improve gradually. Never attempt to do breathing exer

cises Immediately after meals. Wear

loose clothes, for preference a loose

dressing gown only, when doing

breathing exercises. Do them regularly every morning. Do them In the open air if you can. If not, do them in a room with the win

dows wide open. When you are in the open air take good, deep breaths every

now and then.

These exercises are not suitable for any one suffering from any organic

disease.

WHITE FOOTWEAR PRETTIER THAN EVER. JQUTtrN'G the coming summer white footwear Is to be more fashionable than ever, and the conventional white shoes for outdoor occasions will be well cut buttoned boots of white buckskin, with a moderate Cuban heel and vamp on th new, long line now considered patrician and distinguished. One handsome model has the high top with fourteen buttons and lines of dainty perforated trimming of broguelnjr. in the shoe vernacular, on th toe. New types of piazza footwear are Included. There is a colonial pump of whit calfskin with a covered heel and an odd trimming of black patent leather laid under a row of perforations. The buckle Is of patent leather studded with rhinestones. To the woman who adores novel effects a new white buckskin oxford will appeal. The arrangement of the buttons on alternating scallops of the white buckskin and black patent leather is a novel footwear note.

A bowl of Quicklime placed In a damp pantry or closet will not only remove dampness, but tend to aborb odors. 1
