Pleasant For Women In a little while more we shall be donning our Spring suits, and it is well to have the chest or wardrobe ready for the winter clothes, and then, too, if you begin now and take things by degrees, getting all the little things dome, you won't find yourself turning the house topsy- turvy when the actual cleaning time arrives. : All closet shelves and bureau drawers' should be lined or covered with paper of some sort. It not only makes them look neater, but helps | 10 keep the dust out. One of the best things for the chest or closet shell where the win- ter clothes are to be stored In the ordinary newspaper. Moths abomin- ate printer's ink, so it is really a preventive; although it is not wise to depend altogether on the newspa- per to keep the moth out. Suits and coats should be hung on bangers wherever it is possible. If, however, they must be laid away in chests or drawers, fold them inside out, with sleeves down at the sides, and lapels folded in. When folding a skirt, never have a crease down the centre. Al - necessary creases should be made in the sides of the skirt, and where it i8 folded over at the top a roll of soft paper should be put in the crease. Fold men's coats and vests in the same manner. . 'While newspapers are just the thing for the chest or closet, they do not look so well in the bureau draw- ers, and many women dislike them for this purpose because they think the ink is apt to come off on their underwear; so the nicest paper for a bureau drawer is a manila wrapping paper, which comes wide enough to fit any size drawer. It is an excel- lent quality of paper with a smooth finish, good and strong. For the buffet, sideboard or closet where china is kept, there is the white shell paper, which every wo- "man knows about. This always looks neat, and makes a dainty finish for the china shelf. The paper edg- ing comes in strips. For pantry shelves and kitchen dresser, there is nothing so neat nor #0 sanitary as the white shelf oil- cloth. This can be washed, and will last for years. Paper is not practical " for these shelves. When cleaning out the dresser and pantry shelves it Js well to sprinkle a little insect pow- #der of some kind around, in the cor- ners, as a preventive against ants, roaches and so forth, for these little pests will come sometimes, even in the best regulated household. Sn It Pays to Believe in Your Boy Is there a boy problem in your home? If s6, you are looking for its solution. It is to be found in a little sentence of four short words: Be- lieve in the boy, It is a sad day. in a boy's life when he hears a parent say, "I have no confidence in you." And yet parents ~well-meaning parents, too--say say these very words to their boys, and other parents say them as plain- ly by action as if they had spoken. A boy's dally chores include look- ing after the barnyard, milking: the cow and caring for the family horse. On several occasions the faucet that supplied the tank with drinking water was found open and the barn- i ard flooded. Of course, the boy Was charged with carelessness. He stoutly denied having left the faucet open; but be was threatened with punishment next time such trouble occurred and he missed it only by chance. The cook happened to look out of the kitchen window just in time to see the old bay horse turn the faucet with his nose. He had probably learned the trick by acei- dent, and was smart enough to draw his drinking water fresh. Many a boy has been punished for just such acts which he never com mitted, so.be slow to judge the boy The normal boy is quick to be hard ened by unjust judgments of thos in authority, More than one bo came safely through the storm years of his teens not because of but in spite of the system of discipline to which he was subjected in the home.--The Mother's Magazine, When a Girl is Ready for Marriage William = A, McKeever, professor of child welfare in the University of Kansas, has set down in his "Training the Girl," recently pub book, | Reading | be prepared to co-operate 'with him in Mving a worthy life.

She should have finished the so- called common school, which would have contributed to her thought a permanent 'interest in people and in public affairs.

Ten Marks of the Man Prepared for Marriage The rules of William A. McKeever, professor of child welfare at the Uni- versity of Kansas, for knowing when a girl js ready to marry have been quoted from his "Training the Girl" (Macmillan). In the same book Mr. McKeever gives tén marks of merit by which the young woman such as he described may know whether or not the young man friend is worthy to become her husband. The ten characterizations 'of the worthy young aman are as follows: 1 As to age, the same theoyetlt rule obtains for him as for the woman, the maiximum of physical and mental readiness probably being ten years after the beginning of adolescence. His common schooling should be about the same as that required for the young woman, and it would be well, in case of an actual mating, if they had both attended the same type of common school : During all the years of his physical development the young man should have been constantly trained and dis- ciplined in the performance of the feeling' maximum variety of such work as : : A ' i J and preventives of "spring fever. the -ordinary home, shop and field It tone naturally br 14 are com- provide for the growing boy. ploxion Bei tile rs Besides having had ample experi- Eat pineapples without stint.
