A alioo or a pull: costs a black gloom over the household. I know when his score is bad by the vicious way he bangs the garden gate. Even the dog has developed a sixth sense on these occasions, and omits his usual vociferous welcome.

From now to the end of the goling season my husband will take no in- terest in the garden. I shall have to eut the grass and keep the borders. If I should suggest a walk, he is for too tired after fils round. Still, that does not provent him from practising putting on the lounge carpet, where

There are different methods for re- moving various kinds of stains from linen, but one rule remains constant for all stains. Act at once; don't leave the stain on the article for a moment longer than is necessary.

Meat juice and gravy stalas are best removed by washing first in cold water and then in song and water. To remove coffee stains, hold the linen smoothly and tightly over a bowl and pour boiling water through it from height. Continue this treatment until the stain has dis appeared.

Wine stains should be at once covered with salt and left for some hours before washing in lukewarm water. This method will also re move peach stains, but other fruit stalas should be soaked in, milk for an hour or two and then treated with boiling water in the same way, Ga coffee stains.

Iron rust is best removed with salt and lemon juice, applied until the stain disappears. Paint stains should 'be, rubbed on the wrong side with scap and cold water, then covered on the right side with a paste of starch and water.
