That "white China" Look on Linen.

~N----N~
CLOSING is an art to be acquired only by
patient practice, and even then the homo
laundress seldom equals the work Of the
public laundries with their special nipple
ments.
Borax, white wax, ETC., will materially
help when mixed with the starch, but the
actual white china" look must be given by
the laundress herself by dexterous use Of
her polishing irons, which must be in the
highest condition of polish themselves.
Starch the parts that require stifRening
first in strong boiled starch, into which
some borax has been mixed. Work the
starch well into the linen; rub and clap it
between the hands, leaving the surface
quite smooth without the slightest trace Of
Jumps Of starch. Let this dry and starch in
raw starch, to which add your favorite
starch powder or improver, whatever 1t may
be. After this wiring as dry as possible and
roll the things in clean cloth. The part
Of the shirt which does not require starch
Ing must be damped ready for ironing pre-
vious to the rolling. After a couple of
hours or so iron with very hot iron and 20
on till the collar, or whatever you have in
hand, is perfectly dry and as stiff as
board. "Round" it by pulling It upward
from under the iron few times while fin
lshing it off. Have polishing iron rounded
Rt the bottom, especially for shirt fronts.
Giving the iron an occasional rub over with
q cloth smeared with white wax is Of great
help to the worker.

A Princess Shoes.

Among shoes for evening wear in the
trousseau Of the Princess May, whose mar
rage with the Duke of York is the great
event of English society at present, were
made after her own instructions pretty
pair of light blue brocade, with pompadour
floret sprays. The variety of shades in
these shoes include pink satin, coral satin,
embroidered in beads and Jewels; blue,
heli0trope, together with pink morocco, and
many In shot tints we'll blended. The white
shoes are a most tempting disp. y. The
white satin are embroidered in pearls, iri-
descent beads and jewels; the white kid
with gold and pearl butterflies and Jewels,
and others are crossed with white ribbons.
Many display rare old paste buckles
Bronze is evidently in favor, and some are
sandaled with 4-button straps.
Princess May shows a special predilec-
ton for light colored tan shoes, and q
charming pair Of Russian leather appear
in the Oxford form. A tan shoe with a
perforated band round also appears in the
trousseau.
The slippers are of the Turkish shape,
low on either side. Some are made in white
kid lined with satin; some in pale pink
trimmed with fur. Bronze is combined
with pale blue, and some are of white satin
edged with swansdown.
Among the boots are new make of Rus
sian leather light tinted balmorals, coming
high up on the instep, and some in patent
leather and French kid, buttoned, while
others are entirely composed of Russian
leather

Refreshing, Thirst Quenching and Easy TO
Make.
In summer time we are all thirsty, and
housekeepers are especially interested in
the drink question" /" for it falls to their
lot TO provide at least part of the many
cooling beverages so lavishly drank In hot
weather.
Lemons lead the procession of fruit
drinks, perhaps because the citric acid they
contain cools the blood. Lemon squash is
delicious when properly made, and only
simple materials are required for its decoc-
tion. 1t must be drank the instant it is
made, and a large glass is required TO make
each squash in. The juice Of fresh lemon,
plenty" of crushed loaf sugar and a bottle
Of soda water are all that is required. Aft
er squeezing the lemon into a pint tumbler,
put into it at least 8 teaspoonfuls Of sugar,
mix we'll up and then put in the soda wa
ter, stirring all the time" A bone spoon

Air Frozen Into n Clear Solid.

} "Professor Dewar, whose experiments
upon the liquefaction of air have already
been described, has now succeeded In freez-

we'll known, is a mixture of oxygen and
nitrogen gases, and although pure nitrogen
is easily frozen oxygen by itself has hither-
to refused to solidify. The exact constitu-
