Starting at the bottom is the rule for any wall cleaning, as a matter of fact. If you are washing a wall, start at the floor and work up, making sure that the water does not run down over the clean spots. Wash a couple of square feet and then rinse it well. After the housecleanin we would suggest that y few things in mind. TF pictures several times a If walls are papered, you can still have them cleaned. Of course, if the paper is the new washable kind, you are in luck, because you can cleanse it with soap suds and water. The oldâ€"fashioned kind of paper can be cleansed with a prepared cleaner, or with bread rolleq into a ball and rubâ€" bed over the dirty spots. Art gum rubbing is another great aid in cleanâ€" ing wall paper. Grease spots may be removed by appiying dampened French chalk to the offending place and leavâ€" ing it on overnight. Dirty spots over radiators or hot air registers should be cleaned with an upâ€"andâ€"down moveâ€" ment to prevent streaking. Always start at the bottom, too. If you have walls which need washâ€" ing and are painted, go easy with that soap and water! First try out a small and inconspicuous portion of the wall and make sure the finish isnt going to come off on the cloth. Test the spot by rubbing gently with a cloth dampâ€" ened in clear water. If the finish comes off . . . leave it alone. It will have to be refinished before you can get clean walls If not, choose your cleaner and go to work. There are many cleaners on the market ,and you will go well to follow the advice of your painter or hardware dealer to find out which one is suitable for your walls. DIVIDED PAYMENT In the first place, or maybe it should be the last place, are you doing any painting inside this year? If you are painting woodwork, furniture, or walls, whether they be light or dark, it is a good idea to give them a coat of wax as soon as they are dry. Not furniture polish, but a good hard floor wax will prevent them from growing dull, since it can be renewed and polâ€" ished and will also prevent dirt from becoming ground right into the paint. On painteg woodwork, that is, around doors, and floor boards, a selfâ€"polishâ€" ing wax will give the appearance of a glossy paint. spring, traâ€"la" certainly have nothing to do with this case, since the budgetâ€" eers column this week is taking up anâ€" other subject which blooms in the spring . . . namely and to wit, houseâ€" cleaning.

Because color‘s the thing this year, and casual coats are the rage. Colorful sports coats are headed for the brightest and biggest season ever. Keen interest is noted in bright solids in fleece and angora coats designed to be worn gayly over simple tailored dresses as well as natty country sports clothes. Or if you prefer pastels there‘s a whole rainbow of them. yellow, or how about lilac?

To bring spring, with its Easter message, to the home, Bruce Leek, florist, advises Easter lilies, daffodils, tulips, stocks, snapâ€"dragons, sweet peas, and roses in all colours. Naturâ€" ally, with the gayety of spring in your wardrobe, you will want to make your home a fitting background for your fashionable self, and there‘s no better way of doing it than to adorn that home with flowers. It helps .when economy has been followed in the costume) to get two or three gay and unusual things to give you a flair. Adorn the Home With Flowers, Says Bruce Leek, Florist Why Not a Corsage for the Easter Costume? Shoulders in these jackets, while padded, will be at shoulder level. They are made to be a continuation of the natural line and not to stand up like a puff. Shoulders are the new fashion note, and in jackets are parâ€" ticularly important, since the hang of the garment depends on them. If you are a lot older, and like to stick to smart black, you will have a simple basic frock of crepe, with a soft Vâ€"throat edged with white or with a small turned back white collar. Over it you will wear for every day a bolero of the same fabric, which does not fasten at the front. For dressâ€"up days, you will want a printed crepe jacket, with a black ground, and a design of small white flowers over it. This will tie with a small flat bow at the waist. You can wear a bouquet of white violets on your shoulder. The sleeves of both the bolero and the jacket will be threeâ€" quarter length and full. made of dull navy crepe or triple sheer. Its skirt will be a whirl of stitched pleats, slimly tapered over the hips, and it will have req buttons and a red belt, with the buttons inserted like studs.. The jacket will be red, white and navy striped wool, tailored to perâ€" fection, with wide lapels pointing to a tiny waist, and slash pockets. Your navy turban will be slashed with red and white hairpins And then, for your sissier moments, you will remove the red studs and belt, and add pink flower buttons and a pink suede belt. Now you top your frock with a pink wool jacket, buttoned to the throat, with the small collar of the frock showing on the outside. This jacket will button down the front with small pink pearl buttons, and your big pink offâ€"theâ€"face hat will be bound with navy ribbon. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO This year you won‘t be buying New York hats, but you‘ll be wearing New ‘York models. This year‘s hats will bear a "madeâ€"inâ€"Canada" label. Your ,'bonnet, has been copied from the New ,York model, but the originhnal has been _ sent back to Fifth ‘Avenue. ‘_ So when you buy your headgear this spring, you‘re buying Canadian. However, some doubt if Miss Joan \Canuck will rush to her coiffeur palace =to be pompadored. They say for a {time she will prefer her hat tilted ‘forward at a rakish angle. So many ‘of the new styles are made with the \ bandeau adjustable for wear either ;way. Incidentally, remember that your gloves must match your hat. If you have a reefer from last year, don‘t throw it awayâ€"they‘re still in the fashion news. «But there‘s a tip for the ladies who are adept with the needle. This year the single breasted and twoâ€"button double breasted style have belted backs, inverted back pleats and inset back belts. They also show easier fit through the waistline, alâ€" though they still retain their flatterâ€" ing flared skirts. Box coats that top suits so comfortâ€" ably and smartly are practically new and come in smooth natural colors. Hairdo Important. _ And now for hats. The fashion exâ€" peris advise that it isn‘t the hat so much, but the hairdo . underneath. Your Easter bonnet may be a natty smallâ€"brimmed sailor, or a flower beâ€" decked sailor, or a flower bedecked creâ€" ation, or the South Amercan influence may be expressed in your millinery. But underneath you must have a pomâ€" pador. For the new hat styles are worn slightly back on the head and untilted. Picked as a fashion winner in style is the softâ€"type trench coat in shaggy fleece, camel hair and tweed. Featurâ€" ing smooth easy shoulders, inverted unpressed pleats in back, handsome wide revers and new hip patch pockets, the new version of the Hollywood wrap coat is forecast for prominence. (Glen plaids have adopted a differâ€" ent appearance for spring, with someâ€" thing new in their coloring and size of their plaids. In smoothâ€"faced flanâ€" nelâ€"like worsteds these new glen plaids are softly blended yet bright. Striped woollens as well as men‘s wear worâ€" steds are also on the Easter parade list. beautiful new block plaids in such color combinations as red, light and medium blues and misty pastel block plaids. And we mustn‘t omit the patriâ€" otic plaid mixtures of red, white and blue. Saddle shoes are definitely the "thing‘"‘ for spring sports wear, coming in all colours, and made mostly of a fine leather which stands up to sports wear. The soles are of crepe or cork. with a new 1941 asset in the allâ€"rubber sole. That‘s straight talk, I grant you. But, after all, we ate discussing beauty behind the scenes. And there are cerâ€" tain moments when it pays to mince few words. The cleansing bath is a working session. Let the suds fly as you free the skin of surface impurities.... Alâ€" low no bacteria and such to breed skin ills upon your body. The latter is no exaggeration. Scientific experiments have proven that certain bacteria upâ€" on the outer layer of the skin produce a kind of ptomaine similar to that generated in the stomach by tainted foods. One doctor has it that ‘this ptomaine .poisoning of the skin gives rise to pimples, boils, carbuncles and other cutaneous affections." You mothers whose adolescent boys and girls show signs of clogged oil glandsâ€"oily scalp and hair greasy, coarsening skin, will find it a good looks gift to the youngsters to start them off on a bath a day. Bathe twice a day, if you like. But let one bath be devoted entirely to removing surface grime, cuticle scales and secretions from the perspiratory glands. For tools, then, you will need softened water, a bar of swiftâ€"toâ€" lather toilet soap and a firm bath brush. Once the practice of the daily sesâ€" sion in the cleansing bath is wellâ€" established, the complexion becomes clearer. Frequently, banishment of simple blemished skin faultsâ€"blackâ€" heads, whiteheads, pimplesâ€"has been due to a large extent to a bath every day. For her the daily use of a deodorant and antiâ€"perspirant is as natural as bathing itself. She uses one or both as a routine afterâ€"theâ€"bath procedure. It would be abhorrent to her to ofâ€" fend her own nostrils by a fault that grew from good grooming slights. That being so she sees to it that dainty personal hygiene habits are intimately a part of her preparations for the day. The daily bather is not apt to don soiled clothes. Nor does she omit any good grooming rite that will war against her respect for her cleansed self. She smells sweet because she takes pains to achieve that. (By Alice Wade Robinson) The secret of many a woman‘s clear complexion is that she‘s clean all over. No daily bather can keep that fact dark. An aura of healthy good looks surrounds her. She is clean and beâ€" cause of that she is selfâ€"stimulated to appear so to the world. Says Bath a Day Keeps Poor Looks Away Trench Coat Picked. The tiered skirt is now an accepted factor in style. Germaine Montell has been sanding firmly for it. She has a trick of ruffling the skirt to the waist and still maintaining its slender form. Peplums will assume importance. No less an authority than Mainbocher has launched them in a big way. He proâ€" poses that suits, coats and dresses shall have them in various forms and lengths. For a twoâ€"piece to be worn with furs, he advocates a tunic length which has grace and gives height to the figure. _# *of # # #. )* '““ tactes #.

Their shoulders will have a softer, rounded curve, they will be hugged by little shoulder capes of fur or encased in longer ones of wool to match the suits worn. Hats will take the lead in the Easter parade. Like banners proclaiming the birth of the new season, veils will wave. They will be seen in every color and used in all kinds of ways. The promenaders who have pickeq up the latest ideas will have hats, small ones, swathed in veiling with big chenille dots looking like snowflakes. It‘s a Johnâ€"Frederics mode.

From the standpoint of utility the topcoat is one of the handiest of garâ€" ments. Now that spring is here topcoats are becoming one of the most important articles of clothing in the male wardâ€" robe. For the next month or so they will be working daily. Throughout the summer they are occasionally used and again in the fall of the year.

The Easter parade is sure to se°e a quickening in this new trend which, by next Autumn, will ungquesâ€" tionably have gone far. . Bergdorf Goodman, also forward looking, has launched a coat jin the manner of Louis XIV, with folds cleverly adjusted at the back. The Easter parade will demonstrate the versatility of coats. There will be those in which the interest is centered at the front. Closely fitted ones, relyâ€" ing for their chic on the exactitude of cut and line, receive unusual button treatments. Sophie of Saks Fifth Aveâ€" nue has a fondness for buttons in triple rows, on both coats and suits. Sally Milgrim was the one to introâ€" duce side pleats and trimmings on skirts, keeping front and back as smooth as a plank. In this season of trimming she has introduced a fresh theme which develops braiding into a passementerie embroidery. Her "passaâ€" braid" will fall into line with the rococo braiding that recently has touched popularity. Whether ruffled or pepluned, skirts on Easter Sunday will move with an easy swing, for it is the mode that they shall have fullness enough to proâ€" vide them with swaying lines.
