CARING FOR FLOORS
PART OF HOUSEWORK THAT RE*
QUIRES ATTENTION.
Results, However, Are Well Worth
the Expenditure of Time and
Trouble—Hardwood Always
the Best and Cheapest.
Undoubtedly the best floors for the
average house are hardwood, but to
keep them In order requires work.
Daily wiping and polishing Is neces
sary, but the beauty resultant more
than repays trouble, and such floors,
unless they are abused, wear well.
Their expensiveness differs according
as to whether or not they are par
quetry or plain, and for bedrooms and
halls the latter Is as good, except In
very elegant houses. If drawing and
living room floors can be finished with
a border they are more effective, but
even in these places design is not
necessary. What is required Is posi
tion of the boards—that is. close to
gether and smooth, so they can be
kept in the highest state of polish and
cleanliness.
>' hen a house that ts occupied dur
ing the entire year is fitted with hard
wood floors the problem of carpeting
is solved, for in winter rugs can be
used, while in the summer the beards
may be left uncovered. The latter ef
fect is cool and pretty.
For general durability there are cov
erings which conceal unfinished floor
ing and are more easily kept clean
than carpeting. In these days of fre
quent moving, when housekeepers do
uot like to have carpets and mattings
cut to fit rooms, rugs of endless vari
ety and material come in prices w hich
are equally varied. A Wilton or tapes
try carpet, cut like a large rug and fin
ished with a wide border, is practical
;n many different places, and a rough
floor may have a border stained to
make a suitable finish.
For summer, or to use all the year
in bedrooms, mats of straw are ex
tremely pretty. They come in straw
colored grounds with designs of vari
ous sixes. They wear well and are
easily kept clean.
Nothing could be prettier than some
of the hand woven rag rugs. They
haTe the merit of washing when soiled,
and have sufficient warmth to be good
for winter, and yet are light enough
for summer wear. In many summer
houses they are used exclusively for
the upstairs rooms, and large ones are
exceedingly nice in dining rooms.
They can be woven to order and for
dining rooms round ones showing a
border of contrasting color are both
effective and durable.
Rag carpeting also now comes by
the yard, and by many persons is pre
ferred to matting because of the way
dust sifts through the latter. Rag
stair carpeting is extremely pretty.
A floor covering khich has cork in
itsg composition has come into favor
for bed and billiard rooms as well as
dining rooms, h is rather thick and
has some "give," and may be w ashed
with soap and water as a bare floor,
it Is the common covering In many I'ng
Ush nurseries, ow ing to its hygienic
qualities. The stuff comes in only a
few plain cokers and n ay serve as a

Gardiner Family
(Copyrtpht bj XcClur* ScntlnM
Gardiner. Gardner, Gardener and
Gardyner. are the only variations of
this name, which is derived from the
Saxon words “gar." a weapon, and
••dyn.” a sound, an alarm. Gardvn,
then, means a martial sound, or clash
ing of arms: or Gardyner. one who
lead a martial life.
, The Gardiners have been prominent
in affairs all along the ages, and since
those days called poetically “the twi
light of fable.” they have helped make
history. Stephen Gardiner, bom 14S3.
at Bury St. Edmunds, was lord chan
cellor of England and bishop of Win
chester.
"Waverley.” Scott’s work, describes
1 the death of Col. James Gardiner,
a Scottish soldier, born in I.inltthgow.
whose life was written by Doddridge.
Very profligate in youth, his whole
life changed, and he became very de
vout after what he regarded as a
supernatural vision vouchsafed to him.
In the colonial records the name ap
pears as Gardener and Gardner, quite
*2
*s frequently as Gardiner The May
flower pilgrim was Richard Gardiner
Thomas Gr.rdiner cjrae over in 1624. to
"oversee the planting of the colony"
and for this reason he has been called
the first governor of Massachusetts.
He had extensive grants of laud In
Salem and Danvers. He married. In
Knglatid. Margaret Frier.
One of the most picturesque figures
of colonial times was Sir Christopher
Gardiner, living in Boston. before there
was any Boston. and accompanied by a
lovely woman, his wife. He wore a
large cavalier hat and heavy cloak,
and was never without his long Span
ish raider. A melodramatic personage
he has often figured in the pages of
romance.
No more romantic story is found in
our national annals than that of Uon.
or Lyon. Gardiner, the only real
•lord." so the story goes. that this
America of our has eTer been able to
boast. An Island In Long Island sound
—nine miles long by one and a half
miles aide—was purchased by Gardt*
• ner from the Indians for “one gun. a
few Dutch blankets, and one large,
black dog." a year or so after Gardiner
landed in Boston. 1S35. The purchase
i of the land was confirmed by the
agents of Lord Sterling, and by the
terms the Island was constituted *
separate plantation, in no wise depend
ing upon New Kngland or New York,
and its owner was empowered to make
j all laws necessary to church and state
A few years later the governor of New
York consented to the erecting of the
island into a lordship and manor, to
be called Gardiner's island, and Lion
Gardiner was practically king, living
j in a handsome manor house, with wife
| and two children, and a retinue of
servants. The principal part of Smith
town. L. I.. was given to Lion, as a re
i ward for rescuing a bride—the daugh
ter of an Indian sachem—on the night
of her nuptials. She was carried off
by a hostile tribe of Indians, but res
cued by Gardiner.
Gardiner Island, like an almost royal
domain, had its hundred or more re
! tainers; rarely less than C* horses
were stabled there; StH> cattle grated
in Its sunny pastures, and five times
as many sheep. The island Is still in
possession of descendants of Lies who
left it to his son David
Without mention of Oapt Kidd this
story is incomplete. When the pirate
anchored in Gardiner's bay be helped
himself to whatever he wanted, and
added insult to Injury by tying Mr
Gardiner to a mulberry tree. I'poa
taking leave of the island he showed
w here he had buried a box of treasure,
and said that tf he never returned It
belonged to the family. To the lady
of the manor he gave a present of
cloth of gold, a bit of which la still
a family relic. In the buried boa were
“six diamonds, rubies small and great.
GT green stones. other precious
stones, silver bars without number,
and one gold bar, a coral necklace, and
S$ bales of silk, somewhat damnified'
by water."
Characteristics of the Gardiners are
wit. eloquence and Warning Of ere it
was said he was a friend of Warning
! in every form The home of the
bishop of Winchester was s5>chen of
as the seat of ehxjuence. and the
special abode of the muses."
