MendInR Straw Hats.

1t is convenient to know how to re-
pair straw hats, as those of the children
of the household get sadly battered in
brim and crown. One should always
keep one old straw hat of each of the
ordinary colors-black and brown and
whlte-to supply materials for repair
ing, and to this end it is wise to avoid
buying the fancy straws, as the plain
braids are much more durable and USE
full. Black thread No. 40 is used for all
sewing OF straw, except the finest grades
of hand-sewed hats, and the do
mestic milliner may well follow the
trade rule. The straw should be wet
or dampened as it is sewed, as this
will prevent its breaking. When a brim
is ragged, rip off the torn braid, and
taking a braid that matches, deftlv
weave the ends together, and sew around
the hats edge as many rows as are
wished. The brim can be made to turn
down by stretching the upper edge of
the braid tightly as it is sewed, or made
to roll up by holding the upper edge of
the braid loosely, the mender guiding
the results by her taste and Judgment
as she sews. Torn crowns are replaced
in the same way. Braids that do not
match can be utilized wherever the
trimming viii hide the patch, and un-
fashionable low crowns may thus be
transformed into those of any desired
height.-Harper's Bazaar.

The best way to remove a stain of
grease from paper is to apply fuller's
earth, pounded fine and pressed IN a
mass over the spot. Lay brown paper
over it and press a hot iron over all.
This will cause the dry powder to ad-
here to the paper and will also help
draw out the grease. Let the paste re-
main on the wall for at least forty-eight
hours. Then brush it off, and if the
grease has not entirely disappeared, re-
peat the process.-N. Y. Tribune.

And Several Methods of Making 1t as
Delicious as 1t is Healthful.
Asparagus is coming along now, and
she who would be the beloved of her
husband will see to it that the succulent
root is often before him. In preparing
it for the table the bunch should be
plunged into boiling water, which is
well salted, set down on the root end,
with the tips well out of the water, as
the steam cooks them quite sufficiently.
Almost any asparagus will be we'll
cooked after twenty-five minutes boil
ing 1t can then be taken into
colander and drained, the strings care
fully cut and the vegeta bles arranged
on toast to serve. There are several
sauces used with either plain butter,
pepper and salt, or get sauce Holland
aise being quite popular, or drawn but
ter may be poured over it. Sometimes
when the tips of the asparagus are
served with toast as an especially
dainty dish, the stalks are well boiled
and strained for a soup. Asparagus
soup may be made with either stock or
water. If stock is used, the white is
preferable, and cream is frequently
added to make the soup still richer. It
is delicious soup. Asparagus can be
steamed to warm it over, and can be cut
in small bits and stirred into an ONE
lette, if any happens to be left over
from dinner. Athenaus wrote of aspara-
gus, for it is no new invention, and
spoke of the wild and cultivated sorts,
saying that the flavor of the former was
much the finer; but if what he said was
true at the time, it is certain that the
ancient author never could have in
spected the product of first-class Jer-
