SUGGESTIONS OF I u

To REMOVE MILDEw.-Take tWo
ounces of chloride of lime; pour on it q
quart of boiling water; then add three
quarts OF cold water; steep the linen
twelve hours, when every spot will be
extracted.
10 RENovATE BLACK SILK.-Boil an
old black kid glove in q pint of water
till reduced to half a pint, steam the
water and sponge with it the right side
of the silk; iron while damp on the
wrong side.
WR1NKL.ED SILK.-To make silk
which has been wrinkled and tumbled
appear like new, sponge it on the u Z
face with a weak solution of gum ara
bic or white glue, and iron on the
wrong side.
10 REMOVE GREASE FROM Silk
Put a piece of brown paper over it, an
ironing blanket underneath and q warm
iron over the spot usually results favor
ably; although on some %colors, if the
least bit too hot, it will change the
color ~unpleasantly.
PAINTING FLOWERS ON SILK OR SATIN.
First draw the outline and fill it in
with flake white, then paint it over
with the colors. Use q good deal of
neutral tint and burnt sienna, with the
green of the leaves, roots and many of
the stems wholly Of the latter.
10 CLEAN BLANKETs.-Put two large
tablespoonful of borax and q pint
bowl OF soft soap into a tub of cold wat
er. When dissolved put in q pair of
blankets and let them remain over
night. Next day rub and drain them
out and rinse thoroughly in two waters,
and hang them out. Do not wiring
them.
A PRETTY WALL-PocKET.-Is made
as follows: Make a piece of macrame
lace about one-fourth of a yard long.
Now take one Of the pretty bird's-eye
maple plaques and paint a spray of
flowers near one edge. With very fine
tacks fasten the lace on this, line with
bright satin and hang with ribbons Of
the same co,or.
To TAKE GREASE OUT OF VELvET.-
Get some turpentine and pour it Y
the place that is greasy. rub it until
quite dry with a piece Of clean flannel.
If the grease is not removed repeat the
application, and when done brush the
place we'll. Hang the garment in the
open air in order to take away the
scent of ~turpentine.
A HANDSOME AFGHAN.-For q baby
carriage is made of cream-colored wool
canvas, in three strips, each about five
inches wide, and embroidered with q
pretty vine in crewels. These are
fastened together with long crochet
st tches OF wool, through which are run
cream-colored satin ribbons. A border
of crocheted lace is around the edge,
headed by a border of the ribbon,
fastened on with fancy stitches. Bows
of ribbon finish the corners.
To CHOOSE BLACK SlLK.-When
about to choose black silk it is we'll to
pull a thread out of the "tram." or fl
ling try the strength of the thread.
If it breaks easily the examination has
gone far enough; it is wisdom to look
further. We will suppose the thread
has been tried and indicates some back
bone. Rub a corne of it just as the
washerwoman would do when she in
tends to remove a stain. If this awful
ordeal can be tried to perfection-re-
member some muscle must be brought
to play--the silk is good. If it is heavy
with dye if held up to the light slight
traces OF disaster may be discerned.
