Paint

■It, is said tliat the smell of paüit in achatnberoï living room may be got rid of in this manner: Slice i few onions and place ttaem iu a pail of water in the center of the room ; close the door, leave the window open a little, and in a few houis the disagreeable smell will have almost gone. Another method is to plunge a handfnl of hay into a pail of water and let it stand in the newly painted room over night. Laces were never more worn than this summer.
