By T.K,

81 have returned, perhaps you will be j glad to hear, to the normal state of j woman, and instead of exercising my faculties upon problems of State and politics, lam occupied with the more pressing, and very important questions of spring-oleafuog. How to renovate old linoleums and faded carpets, whether it is possible to make them *do* anther year? which is the best of all furniture polish ? and such like points have driven oat-*-foir the time being—my indigna tion against anarchists, and soda iscb, and nihilists i Probably, even if I were created autocrat of Nbw Zealand, 1 might never be equal to coping with ihestt devastators, 80 I conclude it k wisest to wage war against those I bay Boroe chance of 'settling' ; namely, dust., cobwebs, mildew, rua), aDd such * email deer 1 as are usually to be found associated therewith. , Hints to housekeepers starting their spring campaign—Try to get your hus band to take a little ' run ' to the country—three days ought to be suffi cient-—-before you bsjs;in your spring manoeuvres. Endeavour to have them completed before his return. Secure the services of the tidiest sweep you j can get, and bave all the chimneys j Bwept. Whin this movement is passed, attack the bedrooms and nursery, If you can afiord it, send all your lace curtains to a good laundry, if you are accustomed to have ' washing done at home.' You may think this hint ex travagant, but I assure you the com fort of seeing all your curtains returned m good as new, (by-the-way, if you are as thrifty v yoa ought to b«j you will carefully mend them before sending them), without the disadvantage of giving up the time of your general ser vant to getting them up, will amply repay a little extra outlay, Garniture that you mean to ' touch up ' for your self With enamel or varnish should, after careful dasfeing, be washed with ammonia or water. It is not generally known that cracked Ohina can be effi ciently mended by running white enamel, or the colour of the China to ba repaired into the crack ; apply with a fine brush. This 'hint'often eaves the life of a valuable piece of a bed room set Venetian blinds can be repaired neatly by buying from any of our furniture people tsew ladders i.c the tapes pre pared for the laths of the blinds, these should be carefully washed and wiped while the biinds are clown. If they do not need new ' ladders' your Venetians should b© nicely washed with a little soap and warm—not hot water. If yoa have been troubled with moth or see signs of them in your carpets or curtains have your floors, especially in cracks between boards and corners, lightly brushed over with turpentine, If jog usually have paper laid below jour carpets or mattings—a very good plan—.ace that thia is renewed and sprinkle a few drops of turpentine upon it before replacing your oarpets. If your carpet ia faded, immediately after it is stretched into place—always sup posing it haa been thoroughly beaten go over it with a clean cloth and warm water in which a few dropa of ammonia have been mixed, This is an excellent revivor < ■ for cleaning pidtarea and mirrofa take a fresh wash leather and wash carefully, frames and all this is a task that you had better do yourself, be «j*ttae a valuable picture may be greatly damaged if w&tee is allowed to tricklo between the frame or under tha glass. After wiping glass and frame?, i dry carefully with the wash leather I well wrung out If j3u have leather work frames to your mirrors or pictures, you cannot have a better revivor for them, than the'white of. an egg well beaten up.
