The attention Of parents and teachers is call

The provisions Of the Act include all schools,
whether public or private, and although 1t L.

HOW TO CLEAN LACES
A Description of Three or Four of the
Most Approved Methods.


Nothing is more destructive to laces
than careless washing. Where the lace
Is rare or expensive, of course. it is al
ways the better plan 10 turn it over TO a
Trustworthy sstablishmentthat makes 4
speciality of cleaning and repairing such
articles, but with the less expensive
laces the cleaning can as we'll be done
at home. 1t is not a difficult nor tedi-
Gus task, but one requiring care and the
use of proper materials.
Real lace and delicate silk laces are
easily cleaned by the use of benzine.
gasoline or naphtha. NBut as these ar
ticles are infiammable, il is better to
use them in room where there is no
fire Basic the lace smoothly on piece
OF thin muslin, being careful 10 leave a
good margin of the muslin on all sides
Of the lace. Put the gasoline in a bowl
and douse the lace and muslin up. and
down in it rapidly. II the gasoline be
comes dirty, put the lace, into another
vessel and pour fresh gasoline over it.
Dip it up and down. being careful TO
keep the lace on the under side until il
is perfectly clean. Then stretch the
,loth. with the lace uppermosi, on a
clean table. and secure il with few
tacks or pins. This could be placed in j
room where no dust will fall on il and
allowed to remain all day. for while i;
will dry in short time, days airing
will be necessary TO be rid OF the odor
If gasoline that has been used is set
aside for a few hours the dirt will all
settle to the bottom. and the clear gas
oline can be poured off and used again
to wash silk, kid gloves. or anything
that cannot be washed in water.
Yet another way is to sew the lace
carefully on bottle or some such ar
ticle covered for the purpose, and soak
il in hot soapsuds into which have been
put few drops of ammonia or kerosene.
In such cases the water may be brought
to boil, but where the color of the
lace is TO be preserved, boiling or even
exceedingly hot water should be avoid
ed. When the lace has become perfect
IL clean, the bottle should be removed
from the water and set aside or hung up
to dry in place free from dust. This
method, though perhaps little more
tedious than the other. is exceedingly
good, and makes the lace look fresh and
new without the suspicion Of an odor.
Another way is to sew the laces care
fully on a cloth, which must then be
stretched and tackled TO a table, then
90 carefully over the lace with rag.
using chalk wet with ammonia and
water. After the lace and cloth have
thoroughly dried the chalk may be
shaken out. To have the very best re-
suits when trying this plan the drying
should be done by the sun.
Still another way of drying laees as
well as other delicate fabrics which
cannot be successfully ironed is by
pressing them smoothly. while yet wet.
On a window pane or marble slab. This

To the Editor of the Optic.
WATRoUs, N. M, April 22nd, 1897.
Real estate is on boom on account OF
spring zepbyrs.
Ties, piles and lumber seem to be
the chief money of the "realm" this
spring, and of unlimited circulation.
DIR. Rolls may and may not get there.
It is hard to tell 4; probably some parson
might know more about it than we do
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham, future "mine
hosts" of Watrous, arrived yesterday,
and are temporarily domiciled in one
of MIR. Reinken's cottages, presumably
to get "R--izedn to the locality.
However, we hope that they will survive
the treatment, and remain for many q
day.
Frank Carpenter and family are
up from the ranch, as is also Mrs. p. j..
Wells, who has continued her journey
on to Las Vegas.
From the amount Of buildings going
up now and others in contemplation,
it would seem the "era OF prosperity
has reached Watrous. But then Wat.
rous is not very backward, you know.
According to reports, the Watrous
school fund will be diminished 10 the
same measure that the public peace
will be advanced and the ssprohibi-
ton cause" concentrated further in the

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL %, 1897
A SPRUNG OLEANING.

Now that Easter has passed, and the
extensive preparations preceding that
festival do no longer take up the time
necessary for the execution of other
duties, IL will be wise to turn tho at
tention to q general spring cleaning.
It is in the spring, summer and fall
when Lasvegas can put on Its prettiest
airs.
1t should be a matter Of pride to the
citizens to keep up the appearance OF
yards and streets as much as possible.
There is no question but what the
streets and alleys of the city need
special attention. The least moisture
produces an unnecessary amount of
mud, and when it is dry, the wind
chases veritable banks of dust from
one place to another, to the discom-
fort of pedestrians, annoyance of the
housewife and disreputable appearance
OF the city. The alleys, particularly
in the suburbs, need thorough cleans
ing. In some places the garbage for
the past winter has found q dumping
ground.
But it Is not alone the streets and al
leys that are objects for attention.
Many of the private residences display
neglect and carelessness, judging from
the appearance of the yards. Each
citizen can add to the beauty of the
city by attending to his own property.
The vacant lots within the city limits,
and particularly around the business
portion, are annual sources of annoy
ance, being unsightly as well as I'M
healthy. 1t is discouraging to an en-
terprising citizen, to accomplish the
tidy appearance of his place and have
the effect spoiled by a vacant lot next
door, rankly overgrown with weeds,
springing through masses of rubbish.
Through early precaution much a be
done toward identifying the city, and
Keeping the sanitary condition to a
high standard. If the citizens give the
municipal authorities the proper as
sistance, money that is used for city
cleaning can be turned into other chan
nels of improvements that are needed,
and the health and appearance OF the
city be none the loser.
Let us see to it., that the city is
cleaned and kept clean.
