An hour put in over the furniture,

dabs of glue, a few sheets of sand

paint in willing hands will renovato
the shabbiest furniture and give it
renewed life, much to the comfort of
the whole family. No man who is
not willing to do such work, and
thus help to keep the home bright
and cheerful, has any right to have

mako a homo, nor can she keep ram
shackle furniture and rattling win

eye-sores and irritants to everybody.
If she is at all particular as to "the

soon ruin her temper and her nerves
as shabby, unsightly furnishings
that could so easily be renovated at
so little expense.

Renovating
Chiffon, when only slightly soiled,
may bo cleaned by brushing carefully
with powdered starch and borax.
Spread the chiffon on somo clean,
flat surface and rub the mixture over
it well, with a soft brush or cloth.
Shake free of this as soon as tho
powder shows soil, and after going
over it several times, cover the chif
fon with the powder and let lie out
of tho dust for a few days, then
shako out the powder,, and brush,
and tho chiffon should be clean, or
at least much improved. Tho dry
process of cleaning is the most satis
factory, as in wetting, It is so easily
pulled out of shape.
When goods which aro part cotton
and part wool become spotted or
stained, it is doubtful if the stain
can be removed without injury to
tho color.
To clean kid slippers, put one-half
ounce of hartshorn into a saucer, dip
a bit of clean flannel into It and
rub tho moistened flannel on a piece
of white soap; then rub the slipper
with this, using only until it becomes
soiled, then taking a fresh piece.
This is usually satisfactory.
To restore color to kid shoes, mix
a small quantity of black Ink with
the white of an egg and apply to
the leath

any cracks, then rub over with
French polish, or common furniture
polish, laying the polish on with the
finger, and finishing with a soft dry
rag. A mixture of sweet oil and
turpentine will answer to keep pat
ent leather in good condition.
For cleaning straw hats, unless
sunburned badly, this process will
answer: urusn tree irom every uit
of dust; take five cents worth of
oxalic acid powder dissolved in half
a pint of water, and with an ordinary
toothbrush scrub the hat with the
preparation, and when It Is clean,
rinse free from tho preparation and
dry in the sun. If the hat Is too
badly stained, give it a coating of
shoo polish.
A good way to darn a large noie

side of the garment, a piece of mos

netting, as you would any darning,
lengthwise and crosswise, and the
darning will be smooth and strong.
fronts. Then get a good box of
planed lumber tho length of tho top
of tho bureau, and nearly as wide,
which will mako it deep enough for
shelves lengthwise; two shelves, or
threo may be put into this box, and
tho box fastened on tlio top of the
bureau. Paint the inside of the box
white, and give a coating of gloss
paint for the last. Paint the tops
and edges of tho shelves also with
the white. It is better to have doors
to this box, but a curtain, hung on
brass rods will answer, and curtains
Instead of doors may cover tho front
of the burer.u. In tho lower com
partment may bo stored all sorts of
supplies in tho bulkier materials,
while the upper part may be used for
tho smaller quantities, measuring
cups, spoons, and other things tho
cook must have always within reach.
The outside of the top and the
bureau may be painted, grafned, or
stained and varnished. Many bits
of furniture which would otherwise
go onto tho kindling pile, can be
made to serve excellent purposes for
the kitchen, laundry or summer
kitchen, if one only sots about it.
A saw, plane, hammer, a few nails,
or screws, together with the glue
pot and the paint can, will save many
dimes.
For a club meeting, where the
rule is for simple refreshments, It
is only necessary that the food
should consist of sandwiches, nicely
prepared, little fancy cakes, wafers,
bonbons; a salad may bo served with
bouillon or coffee. Chocolate, tea,
served with sugar and cream, or
lemonade or orangeade, are in good
form. The refreshments should be
daintily served.
