The maiden aunt is ever eager for

Hanging Doors and Blinds.

In hanging a number of doors which are of
the same size, the time expended upon meas
uring the correct position of the hinges may
be, according to Building News, saved in a
very simple manner Take a lath and mark
upon the top and bottom the exact position
where the hinges should come, drive in at
these marks sharp pointed brads, and you
have a gauge which may be used in hanging
all doors of the same size. In using it, all
that is necessary is to place it against the
edge of the door with the top of the lath on
the level with the top of the door, give it a
sharp tap of the hand, when the brads will
mark the exact position of the hinges.
The same gauge lath may be used in mark
ing out the position of'the hinges of the stile
of the door frame, excepting that a nail
should be driven in the bottom of it, so that
there may be sufficient room left at the
bottom to allow proper play of the door. The
use of gauge lath in the case referred to is
an example of its use. 1t is Of equal utility
in hanging many other pieces, such, for
instance, as inside and outside blinds. shut
tets etc

used in making paper flowers. These are
crumpled lengthwise to make them look like
crepe; the edges must be gummed together
and hidden in the crumpling. The pink is
put over the white and the latter cut little
the shorter. The top is tied with MORE
ribbon, and a light transparent shade is thus
cheaply made.
Very handsome are the little squares of
light, transparent silk crepe in blue, pink,
pale green or blush rose which, thrown over
glass globes, render the light subdued and
soft.
Some shades are very large, made on a
wire framework in form of an umbrella, the
foundation being a very thin, transparent
pink silk covered with soft, light muslin
trimmed with lace and with little bows of
MORE or satin ribbon at the top For these
shades light colors are used, but pink is pref
test and gives the best light, and the effect
Of these large pink umbrella shades in light
ing room is to give very agreeable, soft,
rose colored light.

Vanilla Ice Cream.

For vanilla ice cream beat the yolzs of
eight eggs with three-quarters of pound of
sugar. Flavor one and a half pints of rich
milk with a tablespoonful of powdered va

not to curdle, then stir it into the eggs Set
the pan containing the mixture into a vessel
of boiling water and stir constantly until it
has thickened. Do not let it remain long
enough to curdle Take off the fire and add
a quarter of box of gelatine which has been
soaking half an hour in two tablespoonfuls of
luke warm water near the fire. Cool the
custard before putting it into the freezer.
When in the freezer stir constantly till the
mixture begins to set, then stir in lightly a
pint of whipped cream. Put in mold and
return TO q second relay of ice and salt.

Wine Stains on Table Linen.

To remove wine stains on table linen it is
usual to soak them in milk. This answers
well if done at once But if the stains are Of
long standing it is best to use Javelle water
or prepare the following bleaching liquid:
Dissolve one-quarter pound each of chloride
of lime and common washing soda in three
quarts of boiling water in an earthenware
basin; strain and bottle. Pour half a pint
of this mixture into one basin and some boil
ing and soapy water into another. Dip the
stained part of the cloth for few seconds
only in the bleach; then rinse in the soapy
water. If this is not entirely successful re-
peat the process until the stains disappear;
but do not let the cloth lie in the bleach, or it
will spoil it. The cloth should then be sent
to the wash.

Window Screens.

Window screens inserted under the raised
lower sash cause endless vexation in remov-
ing and replacing them whenever necessary
to close a window. An arrangement much
better is to nail or glue to each side of the
window frame inside narrow strip of wood,
let the screen frame be provided with small
groove on each side, and it can then be run
up and down on the wooden strips, which
should fit nicely IN the grooves. Windows
and blinds can thus be opened at will by sim,
ply sliding the screen without removing it
The only disadvantage of this plan is that it
Is interfered with by some styles of window
