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

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 to turn it over to Il
trustworthy establishmentth that makes Il
specially Of cleaning and repairing such
articles, but with the less expensive
laces the cleaning can as we'll be done
at home. It is not a difficult nor a te(li-
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. But as these ar
ticles are inf1ammable, it is better to
use them in room where there is Nd
fire. Basic the lace smoothly on piece
OF thin muslin, being careful to leave
good margin of the muslin on all sides
Of the lace. Put the gasoline in bowl
and douse the lace and muslin up and
down in it rapidly. If 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 it
is perfectly clean. Then stretch the
cloth, with the lace uppermost, on 4
clean table, and secure it with few
tacks or pins. This could be placed in 4
room where no dust will fall on it and
allowed to remain all day. for while Il
will dry in short time, a days airing
will be necessary to be rid of the odor.
If gasoline that has been used is set
aside for 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
it in hot soapsuds into which have been
put few drops of ammonia or kerosene.
In such cases the water may be brought
to a 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
ly clean, the bottle should be removed
from the water and set aside or hung up
to dry in a place free from dust. This
method, though perhaps q little more
tedious than the other, is exceedingly
good, and makes the lace look fresh and
new without the suspicion of all odor.
Another way is to sew the laces care
fully on a cloth, which must then be
stretched and tackled to table, then
go carefully over the lace with a 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 laces as
we'll as other delicate fabrics which
cannot be successfully ironed is by
pressing them smoothly, while yet wet,
on window pane or marble slab. This
will obviate all necessity of ironing,
and they will appear fresh and new

HnirDinH Cause Insnnity.

It has recently been decided by some
who claim to be authorities that loss
of mental balance is often induced by
the use of hairpins. These scientists
argue that the head, especially at the
back, is the most sensitive part of a
woman's anatomy. Further, that she is
likely to fix upon nerve center as the
permanent spot on which to locate her
coils of hair, and thus persistently lab"
with hairpin the regions which should
be kept free from the slightest touch.
1t is claimed that this is the reason so
many are yearly sent to madhouses,
with some other cause for their malady
assigned. AS middle-aged women do
not care to appear with short hair many
are wearing a loose coil at the back
fastened with a blunt-edged shell comb.
In front the arrangement is la POM

known as the tilifera palm, but botan-

large leaves are Of a rich dark leathery

thread-like tilaments along the seq

form long white hairs, dropping down
in masses from each leaf, and giving
the whole plant very odd appearance.
This palm, though so odd and rare, is
not difficult to grow, and it is becom-

During the administration Of Presi-

it's baby ruler. There is only one baby
among all the branches of the McKin-

early part of the campai gn, and though
neither Maj. nor Mrs. Mckinley had
ever seen little Marjorie it was then

success she was TO take up her home in
the white house. This plan, however,
will not be carried out until warmer
weather makes the change from Cali
forna to Washington less dangerous to
the baby's health. Marjorie will prob
