One acre of our furiit has been set aside for the children. Our boy is four and our girl is two. We planted twenty fruit trees on a recent holiday for thoni, about five of each variety. This acre hud not been used, and it is well located for a small orchard. The peach trees will bo bearing in three years, at which time the boy will be .seven and the girl five. The cher- ries, pear.-^, and other varieties will of course come along later.

The boy is already proud of his part own- ership in the trees, and in time they both will swell their savings-account for college' from the sale of the fruit. They will be managing, under direc- tion, a small business of their own. They will be kept busy. So far I've found that when my children are kept busy and interested, automatically they are good. â€" C. J. CURTAINS ARE IMPORTANT. It takes only a tiny touch of bright colors to set a room off, and the first thing we know, instead of a dreary, stupid, rather tiresome feeling place, we have a bright, cheerful, attractive room. The curtains and draperies af- ford a chance to indulge in livelier color than we can use in the wall paper, rugs, or tipholstery. ITiey need not be expensive. There arc innumerable materials with which we may get the prettiest of effects without paying an enormous sum of money. Firat of all, have you looked over the ginghams and chambrays in your local dry-goods store? Have you con- ! sidered the possibilities of the voiles, | or cheesecloth, or dress muslins, and } unbleached cotton cloth? Every one of these materials offers an almost un- limited opportunity for pretty and In- expensive curtains, with the addition bleached cotton, ciossway bands in children, finding in the weather little} He sat down on the upturned table, cretonne, sateen, or colored cotton are ' encouragement to linger, had gone to! his legs sprawling on the carpet, and often very pretty and effective.

You will find them exceedingly useful in the elimination of marks and stain* that have been left from contact with soiled hands, broom handles or chair backs. To remove the offending spots, rub gently with clean art gum, erasing aa much of the stain as possible without damaging the texture of the paper. Usually this process will rub the color out of the design, but this is not alarming, as it may be easily and quickly restored by the water-color process. To do this merely moisten a small, fine camel's-hair brush â€" such as ia found in toy paint boxes â€" and apply in turn to the desired colors in the left-over paper. Deftly paint over the rubbed-out design, supplying with the brush the proper tone and form. To avoid smears and running colors, cleanse the brush each time before at- tempting to apply a different color or tone. Use the water sparingly. This restoration method has been used successfully by an experienced decor- ator in renovating fine wall papers.
