Pretty and inexpensive paper racks
can be made by taking bamboo canes or
any light wood for frames, and covering
it with Chinese mating on which any
pretty design may be painted. In paint
ing on mating bold effect should rather
be sought than extreme carefulness of
detail. Screens made of mating tackled
on suitable frames are likewise very
pretty. and by one who handles paint
brush readily, very easily made.-Chris-
tian at Work.
Lemon Ice: The favorite is made
by taking the juice of six lemons and
the grated peel of three, and the Juice
and rind of one large sweet ORANGE.
Steep all together one hour. and then
strain and add one pint of water and
one pint of sugar: stir we'll until the
sugar is all dissolved. and then freeze.
If you open your freezer three times
during the operation. and stir up the
contents well, it will improve the result
