A housekeeper who has considerable difficulty in keep- a hardwood floor in good believes that she has solved the problem by a method which is claim- ed to be much superior to that of rubbing with oil, as it leaves no dis- agreeable sticky feeling.

Afterward the entire surface is gone over with a mixture consist- of half a cup of the best polish dissolved in a quart of moderately hot water. When dry the boards are said to acquire a fine polish as the result of this process. Silver and Copper Combined. The combination of silver and burnished copper now so fashionable is artistically introduced in a tall slim vase of green glass, the flaring mouth and bottom of which are of the cooper, the stem of dull silver.
