While our neighbor is buil
ing his new house, we are dooi
ed to this house built perhaps
quarter of a century ago. A
we to let this discourage us? N
t
a bit. We did not start out to 1
discouraged. Maybe we have n
learned to keep this yet, aud <
we appreciate the historic inte
ests here?
To embellish this old hon
we will concede that this go
man has it in repair : that t]
locks and hinges are all oile
and that the window panes a
in. ami that the floors are oile
and wiped up with water, f
without this attention the woo
work will dry rot. And I wou
suggest a coat of linseed oil I
the back of washstands and b
reaus, for they, too, Will go
the same way.
HKGIN ON THE OUTSIDE.
Reforms should usually beg
in the lowest places: so we w:
take the back porch first. Ever
thing not positively needi
should be removed. And here \
may begin with water, ai
work until every square inch
cleaned. Right here the far
boy will do some good work, <
a warm rainy day when he ca
not be out, and the experien
will be a benefit to him. Ui
him clean towels, show your a
preciation of his work, and 1
will begin to take pride, wi
the other keepers of the lioue
Tell him how Mr. Roosevelt hi
the White House washed 01
side the last time it was clean
up.
But our work should not st<
here, but rather go on to t
guest chamber, which might 1
called the "index to the house
as well as an expression of ti
love of the family for their frienc
and the stranger that is som
times within. So we will, li|

Of course it fared with ]t
other rooms with the "sprit
cleaning," now we have] on
to set it in order,and to make ti
job good. We should dust ?
the drawers, under and above,,
before we sweep, and again <
completion. The colorings shou
be harmonious: where one col
is selected it is carried^out; b
let me be beg that the whole
soft and refreshing. My memo
runs back thirty years, to a cs

my dismay when they came from
the dress maker's and were put

of disappointment I learned a m
great lesson?everything needs a aj
in bit of trimming?some contrasts, a(
ill some joy touches. It is very inj b<
y- portant to know the rules that ^i
sd govern things ? the proportions, gC
ve etc.,?so that a firsthand success m

re never was known to bring mud 8}l
in on his shoes, although he is a y

1<r on the mat at the door. How w

of course, we are overcome and
