The best way way in which to clean
ivory hair brushes is with spirits OF
ammonia, as its effect is immediate. No
rubbing is required, ana cold water can
oe used as successfully as warm. Take
a teaspoonful of the ammonia to a
quart of water, dip the halr part of the
crush without wetting the ivory, and in
a moment the grease is removed; then
rinse in cold water, shake we'll and dry
in the air but not in the sun. Soda and
soap soften the bristles and invariably
turn the ivory yellow.

dish. When the fruit is soft remove
from the fire, put in an earthen dish,
and beat with a fork until the mixture
is light. If the fruit is not tart, and Of
sufficiently distinct flavor, add the Juice
of one lemon. This is nice for dessert
with cake as well as for tea.-New York
