SAVE YOUR CURTAINS.
How 10 Care for Them During the SUM
rrer Season.

4 good housekeeper, Mrs. Henry Ward
Beccher, makes some excellent suggestions about
driving curtains on frames. She says many pin a
clean sheet on a carpet in an unoccupied room and
hin the curtains onto the sheet. This never gives
a clear color. because there is no free circulation
of air beneath An easier and better way is to
keep on hand four strips of these boards about
threeinches wide made onthe principle of quilting
frames with holes at suitable distances TO increase
or diminish the length and breadth suit the size
Of the curtains, and strong wooden pins to put
through The holes TO faSten the frames together
Tack closely strips of cloth. sewage edge out, or
wide tape. the whole length OF the bars Then
place them on chairs 50 that they will stand firm
and steady outdoors of still, bright, sunny day.
and pin paste the curtains TO the tapes, pulling
out and fastening every point in the lace. Several
curtains NAV be stretched at q time, though they
look clearer if done singlE.
BEFORE wETTIN'5 TIE CURTAINS
their length and breadth should be marked on the
frame They should first be tackled at the ends
and then stretched 70 meet the measures of the
width. The whole process Of washing, scalding,
and stretching should be done as eXpeditiOuSly as
is consistent with thorough work for no other
cotton material shrinks easily, and lace cannot
be stretched when dry. The approved method Of
washing lace curtains IS TO first shake
all dust ont of them when taken down: then
spread them across two lines stretched near to-
gcther in the clOthcs-yard. and brush them softly
with a clean feather buster. When this has been
done put them one at 4 time into a tuh half full Of
lukewarm water, and add two tables pOOnfuls of
liquid ammonia. Let them remain ten or fifteen
minutes turning them over carefully every minute
OF two and squeezing with the hands. Have
ready another tub of ammonia water: squeeze the
curtain dry and put 10 soak in this while another
curtain is taken through the same process rs the
first and on till all have been taken through at
least three waters or TIL the water looks clear,
SQUEEZING AND WAS HING
the curtains as the work goes on. They may now
be starched and blued and pinned in shape: or, if
thorough. them
pillow Slip and scald in clean soap -suds for
few minutes. When first put in let the water be
but tepid. If the ecTu tint is desired, coffee the
rinsing water, instead of blung it. and experiment
with bit of old lace till you ger just the right hue
remembering that, the curtains will hang against
the light, deep tint is necessary to show ut all
Washed and dried, with this careful attention to
details there is 10 reason that the drapcrieS should
not look 'amaist as weel's the new" and. follow

fessiOnals who do up" laces.-CLdra Dc Tere an

DIED.

BAkER,-In Washington, D. G.: on Monday morn.

Reuben +. Baker, esq. aged 30 years
Funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. DrS
Thomas Addison and Douglass Forrest from 5l4 Filth
street northwest, this (uesday) afternoon at four
o'clock.
The deceased was the eldest daughter of Hon. David
P Holloway. She was confined TO her bed for over
five months, during which time she reduced from
magnificent specimen of physical womanhood 10 a
mere skeleton, and, while she was great sufferer
she had no desire want, wish that not gratifie
and everything that medical skill or science could
suggest, or loving hands find to do done to al
leViae her pain and suffering. The devotion ofa fond
husband the relatives friends, and associates of her
girnoOd and SchOol-dayS was constant, unremitting
and angelic in its character, while the patience and
Christian f0rtitude with which she bore her suferngS
through these long and weary months was remark
able. and Won the love and regard of all to whose
knowledge il came 1t seems hard that one young
and full OF life and hope, and who gave promise of
useful career, should be thus stricken down and re
moved al its beginning. But the re is escape from
the DEGREES of the Almighty. Thee old and the young,
the rich and the poor must alike bow 10 His WILL
As q cloud of tlIe sunset. slow melting in Heaven,
As star that is lost when the daylight is given
As a glad dream of Slunber which wake i'll bliss
She hath passed the world of the holy from this
