Melt one-half pound of sealing wax and slowly pour into this one gallon of kerosene, stirring constantly until the mixture is cool or begins to whiten. This is enough polish for furniture, woodwork and floors to last six months in the medium-sized home. To apply, use a dry rag. polishing after it has been on two or three minutes. Keep the mixture covered when rot in use, as kerosene readily evaporates. The kerosene removes the grime and dust while the wax leaves a beautiful lustre and preserves the varnish. Ali's.

A The Honeysuckle (Lonicera) is a very hardy climber, producing scarlet, trumpet-shaped blooms throughout the season. Although hardy, it is well to take it from the trellis and lay it on the ground dur- ing the winter months-Can. Hort. Council. The Japanese Bitter-sweet '(Celas- trus articulatus) bears a crop of at- tractive berries. Its habit of growth is somewhat like the Dutehrnnn's Pipe, inasmuch as it does not cling to smooth walls. The various varieties of the Clts. matis are beautiful because of the abundance of flowers that come in different colors. This vine requires a trellis or other support of similar character. The Dutchman's Pipe (Aristolochia Sipho) is rather slow to become estab- lished, but makes a wonderful effect in the course of two or three years. Its leaves are large, heart-shaped and deep green. Although very attractive, it is heavier looking than some others, and is more in keeping with the mas- sive building than with one of a light, er style. It does not cling as do other vines but twines about whatever ob- Jeet comes within reach. The Japanese Ivy (Amelopsis Veit~ chii) is not so hardy as the Virginian Creeper. In Ottawa it often kills back more or less each year, but. usually recovers reclothing tho wall each suc- ceeding season. It is a beautiful vine and clings very closely to the wall, presenting a fine effect in many homes in the cities and towns in the central and southern parts of Ontario. It is recommended to protect the roots of this vine for the first year or two with dry leaves or straw packed closely about the plant for a foot or more " the base. The Virginian Creeper (Ampelop- sis Quinquefolia) when once estab.. lished is a rapid grower. It is very hardy and will soon cover the wall of a house. This plant is beautiful, particularly in the mtumn when the leaves take on a glowing red shade. There are many homes which could be made much more attractive by the judicious use of a few good vines. A very plain dwelling can be relieved of much of its stiffness by the plant- ine of a vine, which in a few years will break the monotony of a straight wall or harsh corner. Verandnhs, summer houses, fences, rocks and old stumps of trees covered with vines will so change the appearance of a place that it will hardly be recognized by one who has known it before. There are many varieties of vines from which the Canadian resident may choose. Climbers make rapid growth when once established. The' best results will be obtained, however) by preparing the ground beforehand.! The Dominion Horticulturist has recommended the following varieties: The Virginian Creeper, Japanese Ivy, Dutchman's Pipe, Climbing Bitter- sweet, Clematis of several varieties, and English Honeysuckle A row of pearl buttons in matching color adorns the centre of the box- piait. Made in sizes M to 44 inches bust, size 38 requires 3% yards of 36 to 40-inch material, with Id yard of 36-inch contrasting material cut on the cross of the goods, or 11t yards if cut lengthwise. Quite in keeping with the fashion for simplicity is the printed silk crepe frock which is so gay and smart that it ntwds little or no adornment. Frock No. 1056 is a one-piece model that is easy to make, yet gives charming re- suits. It has a centre-front box-plait, with closing at under side of plait, and patch-pockets; V-shaped neck opening with becoming pointed collar; close-fitted sleeves with turn-back pointed cuffs, or short sleeves if pre- ferred. Plain crepe in one of the colors of the printed design is used effectively for contrasting trimming.
