A pretty decoration for a bedspread used

The women of Holland and Belgium use
refined borax to whiten their linen, and

salt it is not injurious and far better than
much soap or any washing fluid
In making black lace dresses, when
transparent sleeves are desired, if the
sleeves are first lined with very fine
white net, the arms will look much winter

A pretty decoration for the shelf of a
mantel in a summer room is a low metal
tray, wide and as long as the shelf,

An authority on cake-making and diet
says that cakes rich in butter and filings
are the cakes that kill. These cakes are
not the foods that give brain and muscle,
though we cannot deny that they DO give
pleasure to the sense of taste. Sunshine
cake, angel food, and the sponge cakes
which are all made without butter are
more healthful. In greasing pans for
cakes suet is a much better material to
prevent sticking than is butter.
An authority on physical training for
women gives the following directions for
securing the best results, which naturally
must be modified by individual charac-
teristics and circumstances: sleep nine

drink q cup of hot liquid before break
fast, spend half an hour every day in out
door exercise. make the best of bad bar
gains and always keep your temper

touch your dishcloth to your lips just as
you would a napkin? This is not far

decide whether you keep the dishcloth as
clean as it should be. 1t comes in contact
with the dishes on which your food is
placed. See. then. that you do not turn
up your nose if the humble djshcloth
makes a closer acquaintance with you.
Don't invite the germs of disease to be-
come summer boarders with you.
