THE WAY TO MAKE WATERPROOF.

(By Request.) (Cut this article out for future reference; it is taken from ‘Tiro Scout.’) Tents, ground sheets, mackintoshes, and so on all need reproofing now and then in order to prolong’ their lives. Hero 11 ro tho ways in which they should he treated; Calico. —One way is to proceed as fishermen do. Stretch tho calico on a table, then make a thick paint of whatever color is desired. Take a piece of common, soap, and every time ygu dip the brush in the paint rub it on the soap. After painting tho calico rub more soap well into it. Hang in a very airy place to dry, a. process which will ho complete in a month. It is a long time, but the material will be perfectly supple and watertight. If a second coat ‘am bo given, so much tiro bettor, and it will dry in a much shorter 1 lime. Another way is to coat with boiled linseed oil and turpentine in tho, proportion of six parts oil and one part turps. Still another; Bass through a. warm soap bath (11b to the gallon), and then through

an alum bath of the earn© strength, afterwards putting through the mangle. Canvas.—Dissolve soft soap _in hot water, then add a solution of iron sulphate.’ Skim off the scum which results and mix with linseed oil. Then rub into the canvas. Another method: Stir loz sugar of lead and loz powdered alum into a gallon of rainwater until dissolved. Let th© solution stand until the sediment has sunk to the bottom. Then strain and lay the canvas in the clear liquid for twentyfour hours.

Cloth.—'Dissolve equal parts _of soap, alum, and isinglass separately in water; mix all well together, and then thoroughly wet the cloth on tire wrong side with this solution (a sponge is a, good tiling to apply it with). Hang in the air to dry, then tmish well on the wrong side against the grain, first with a dry brush, and afterwards lightly with one dipped in water. Brush down smooth finally. Ground Kl<ret.~lf your ground sheet is no longer waaScoof give it a. good coating of tho following mixture:—Melt one part mutton suet and, two parts beeswax. Mix thoroughly together, and apply with a piece of rag. (To be continued.)

A scheme for a set of hangings for a bedroom window occurs in a plan of lavender and green. Tho side curtains and valances are of lavender-and'-white checked gingham lined with purple and trimmed with ruchnigs of organdie three inches deep in a real wistaria. The unbleached muslin inner curtains (says “L. 8.," in tho ‘ Manchester Guardian ’) are_ dyed to a pale apple green, whilst their widelyseparatedl spots, about tho size of a five-sliilling-piccc, are outlined hr shades of woodsy green and violet. Then for the window in tho den one visualises small vitniges of coaree-uicshed) material, but which are equally successful when tho homely dishcloth is used as a substitute. One probably requires a couple of these for each vitrage, and they will bo joined together by a bold faggoting of flamecolored wool, whilst from the bottom spring fanciful figures and l trees in cross stitch in brown, black, and flame. Stall curtains of deep maroon, bordered with black and lined with flame, bang from a flat pelmet edged with several inches of fringo.

The demand! by women for monocics Is increasin' 7 , and may soon become afasmon. A word °„f warning, however, is uttered against tho danger'’that such women, before they are fifty, may be unable to load witli tire case they should. A leading London West Find optician was very omphalic in declaring that monocle wearing affected lire sight. “If women,” ho said, “lake to monocles, just to look smart, it will, bo a meet foolish tiling. Monocles are meant far bad sight; Urey are never intended for ornaments. Unless an eye is abnormal and requires artificial help,*a, monocle throws an unnatural strain on it, which in time is likely to result in grave injury and possible blindness. 1 think,” lie added, ’“apart from tho danger to sight, such a fashion is most unbecoming to women.”

Tire Rev. Constance Mary Coltnian was the first woman to perform tho wedding service in England. Tho wedding took place at the Congregational Church, Maida Vale, London. A first-class mannequin is worth £3OO a year, and even more. A well-known dress designer admits that ho was paying his leading lady £8 a week, which was quickly raised to £lO when he discovered that a hated rival sought to tempt her away. With men there is very evident a tendency to think that a woman may injure herself in Eomo way by the pursuit of athletics.

“ Men and women were evolved together, and what is good for one is good for the other. It is only centuries of repression and coddling that makes woman think she is the weaker vessel, and perhaps thiy thought and her consequent mode of life have made her so. Tho sooner she forgets it the hotter.”— Dr Hill, of tho National Institute of Medical Research, Hampstead. The average girl does not got enough wear out of her “best clothes”—the number of frocks and garments the girl of today seems to keep for occasions, and so seldom wears. \V hy not ’wear all possible frocks up to the office, and not keep so many things by in case you go here, there, and everywhere? You will probably never go. "or only once in a blue moon. After all. the best pint in one's life is spent working, and one may a.s well get some p'casurc out of wearing clothes before they get old fashioned.
