"A serviceable tidy, or, as our En-
glish friends would say, an antimacas-
sar, is easily made with satin ribbon,
one or two In width, sewed into fat
single rosettes, and joined together in
circle of three. The white lace of two
inch width is first sewed on one edge of
the ribbon, and this is gathered to form.
a fat rosette. The center may be filed
with small plush ball or a series of
yellow knots. When three rosettes
have been finished, join together by the
edges of the lace. This pretty trife
may also be used for lamp-shade.
Having had linen seorched by
careless ironing, was glad to be told
by good laundress of the following
remedy, which she says will remove
scorch, provided the fiber Of the linen
is not really burned: Tie up an onion
in clea4 piece of muslin and beat it
till all the juice is extracted; mix the
juice with one ounce of fuller's earth
in powder, little soap shaved fine and
half tumbler of vinegar. Let it boil
together for an hour and when it gets
cold spread on the stains and let it dry
in. Then wash the linen as usual"
The warm night wrappers now
made of soft wool stockinette are es-
pecially welcome in travelling on the
ocean or across the country in winter.
The wrappers made of blanketing are
are also useful, and in cold nights,
where one is uncertain Of heat, may be
worn over an ordinary cotton gown
with comfort. They are also boon to
an invalid. The blankets to make these
wrappers are to be found in a great
variety of plain colors with striped bor-
ders, and in stripes and plaids. The
silvery gray blankets with pale blue
borders are especially dainty and
pretty.

chicken, and then measure half a pound,
using all the white meat and only
enough Of the dark meat to make up
the half pound. The white meat, being
dry, will absorb more sauce than dark
meat The croquette may be made
without the trufie. Measure salt and
spices level. A saltspoon is a quarter
Of teaspoon. The cream sauce used
with this is twice as heavy as that or
dinarily used. Some add an egg to the
croquette, after mixing it with the
white sauce. The egg assists in mold.
