seam together on the wrong side. 1
neatly done the join will be scarcely ap-
parent.
Carpets which have been laid away
during the summer should be closely ex-
amined for moths and well swept before
putting down. Ingram carpets may be
neatly mended by slipping a patch
under, taking care that the figures
match, and pasting carpet and patch to-
gether with stiff flour paste.
Clothes which are to be laid away for
the winter should be washed and rough
dried, but not starched, since the starch
has a tendency not only to yellow white
cloth, but to rot it as well. To preserve
the color they should be slightly blued.
Mice are apt to cut white clothes and
calicoes when laid away in closet to
which they have access. especially if
any starch is left in them. Grenadines,
buutings and summer woolens which
will not be needed in cold weather,
should be packed in trunks with cam
phor to preserve them from moths,
which, in a warm house, are frequently
as active in winter as in summer. The
English custom of laying sprigs of
lavender, or dried rose leaves among
linen is an exceedingly fine one.-Phila-
dclphiG Times.
