Some. of them are large, indeed,.and have the happy faculty of not looking so; some of them are quite small but can surprisingly seat three people; and all of the good ones are so beautifully de- signed that they seem to melt into the room in which they are placed and become wholly a part of the scheme. This is as a sofa should be. ' Some of them are overstuffed; that is, with all wooden parts covered with upholstery, and only the wood of the feet showing. We see more curve in the back, more roll on. the arms, more delicately turned feet, the seat cushions more frequently loose. And instead of the old leather and foliage tapestry upholsteries, the ma- terials used are more sumptuous, and either melt into the neutral back- ground soheme, or form a more def- nite part of the decorative idea by be- ing in themselves startlingly and dec- Practical Help for the Amateur in _ Spring Painting In the shops we see many new sofas; graceful they are and luxurious, and quite a far cry from the sofa we have for years deemed the one and only foundation on which to begin to upbuild the furnishings of a house. The older sofas are matter, more bulbous, more pretentious; they are most frequently covered in tapestry, though we sometimes see leather and velour; these are the sofas that no longer dominate the shops, immense affairs,quite too large for the aver- age mOdern room. _ WHY HANDKERCHIEFS ARE . SQUARE The shape of handkerchiefs V was fixed by a decree of Louis XVI of France, and usage has continued that form. Handkerchiefs have been in use since the earliest days of civiliza- tion, but they were round, triangular, square-any shape that individual fancy dictated. more to it than merely wielding a brush. ' There is. _. Ready-mixed paints by a reputable firm are safest for amateurs. Suit-. able brushes must be used for good results. For one must take into consideration Size, style, price, personal taste, as well as many,other things. It seems to be such an easy matter to buy a pot of paint and a brush and to undertake some redecorating. But after the first rapture of wielding a paint brush has worn off and the work begins to give some' indication of what its finished appearance will be, the amateur begins to think that, after all, there must be something Be certain that the surface of the article to be painted is in a suitable condition. For instance, never paint over grease or dirt. They may be hidden for the time, but ultimately both will work through to the surface. The proper method of preparing a greasy surface for a coat ot paint is to scrub with hot soda water. Work for which a particularly tine finish is desired should be sapdpap- ered after the first coat is completely dry. Radiators', water pipes, cisterns, etc., are effectively treated by giving them a coat of aluminum paint. Be- fore this is applied they must be thor- oughly cleaned and every trace ot rust removed. .Scrape carefully, or better still, use a wire brush or steel wool for the purpose. 'Never use water, but a paint remover or turpen- tine, ifrditficult to clean. Then Marie Antoinette remarked that it would be more convenient and heater if handkerchiefs were all square. So on January 2nd, 1785, the king issued an edict declaring that "The length of handkerchiefs shall equal their width throughout the kingdom." made use of till a real honest-to-good- ness sofa can be afforded, such as the inexpensive daybed, the slip-covered cot, or even the -chaise-lo‘ngue. any one of which may be moved later to another part of the house. But before the sofa isrbought, many people do not realize how many dif- ferent types there are to choose from. A sofa is a sofa, and when one sets out sofa hunting in this frame of mind, the sofa that is ourchased is mighty apt to be a disappointment. Work if possible qn a dry day, and of course, never apply paint to a sur- face that is not absolutely dry or the paint will crack and peel off. New wood needs special treatment. A first under-coat or filler is given, well brushed into the wood and fin- ished smooth and flat. When this is dry the cracks or holes must be filled up with putty, and then the surface sandpapered and a second under- coat applied. Let it get hard, rub down again, and give final coat of paint or enamel. In nearly every living room it is ab- solutely necessary to have a sofa, and when possible this is the first piece of furniture to be bought, though of course everyone knows that there are substitutes for sofas which may ‘be The medical profession very gener- ally advocate that all food products should be sold in sealed packages. All cities rigorously inspect butcher shops to prevent meat from being in- fected, many prohibit milk from being sold in bulk and gradually this will come with everything. "SALADA" was the first to introduce the package idea as regards tea, over thirty-two years ago, and "SALADA" is still a little purer and a little better than other teas. It has by far the largest sale.-Advt. _ ALL FOODS SHOELD BE SEALED GOOD STYLE IN SOFAS WIELDING THE PAINT BRUSH MAIN LY FOR WOMEN THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO '"Ft"FFFFe"Fgq6qqq+erago+erq"gq"Fgq, In the completely overstuffed sofa it will never be foupd to be a mis- take to buy one low set on delicately- shaped feet, with a slight but com- fortable curve to the tilt of the back, with detachable seat cushions, and beautifully covered in a taupe friz- ette, printed linen, or black-grounded needle point. Among these there is the Hepplewhite sofa, overstuffed and with delicate reeded legs; the Louis XVI sofa, something like the Hepple- white, except that it is apt to have more flare;' there is the plain sofa that goes with anv furnishing, simple and straight of line, with seat divis- ions, and cushions that are loose. Very adaptable are these last named sofas, since they come in two, three and four seat, making them quite pos- sible for a room of any size. To be well dressed need not mean, as so many believe, to be clad in ex- pensive things, but to wear with ease and grace whatever one has chosen; and usually the simpler the garments, the better do they become the wearer. They do not look at her costume especially, her hat or her shoes. They just look at her; her in the entirety; from head to foot and will say: "She is elegant," or, on the other hand; "She is not." ' We should teach them what they seem at first sight somewhat of an ab- surdity but which is in reality a great truth, that the simpler their wardrobe may be, the more likely they are to be ‘suitably dressed for divers occasions. The French have a delightful way ot judging whether a woman is well- dressed or not. If you ask why, you will receive the answer; "Why?-becatise of the tout ensemble/u-ue whole thing---every- thing together.' Maybe, it possesses that wonderful new shade-some variant of electric blue, so very difficult to "tit" with anything else you own-only a black hat and black shoes will tone with it, but, as it happens, your black shoes show unmistakable signs ot age and cannot be considered as fitting com- panions to the new dress. You wish, then, that you had chosen navy blue instead. oratively striped and patterned. Frizette, mohair, striped or plain' vel- ours., needle point, uncut velvets, printed linens, are the materials now in vogue. And woe betide the dec- orative scheme of the room when the sofa still persists in having itself cov- ered in tapestry showing wooded glens, or leather coldly spreading over a fat unyielding surface. In some of the upholstered sofas more outside wood is being used; oc- casionally the body is raised higher from the floor, with less of an apron or skirt, and longer legs taking the place of the mere feet used on the older sofas serviceable connection by wooden stretchers, 'The shapes of the backs of these sofas show the wooden stretchers. The shapes of curved or undulating line, rest of the easy chair. In this class there is the Virginia sofa, which is the type that is not over-stuffed, but that has a mahogany frame. the upholstered parts appearing inside this.

The details of her dress fit, they go well together, the whole effect is pleasing to the eye; I do not know what she is wearing, but it pleases me." And you, also, know how true this is; oftentimes how much more com- fortable and better dressed you feel in that old brown costume of yours that matches your brown velvet hat, your nigger-brown shoes and your cape gloves, than you do in your new suit. The French say also: "There are two things of which a woman, to be well-dressed, must be carefu1:---her hat and her shoes."
