is an all important subject with the
careful housekeeper, a word as to the
best way of washing them will not be
amiss. First shake the curtains until
all the loose dust is shaken off, then
put them into tub with some warm
soapsuds and let them soak over night.
/ Now pour off the suds and put the cur
y tains into clean suds. do not rub the
lace on a board, but squeeze it in parts
when dipping it over and over again,
keep on renewing the suds and squeez-
ng until clean. Then rinse in two
\lear waters, and lastly in starch water
pade by adding one gallon of quite
hick starch to one gallon of either
ear or blue water; this process of
arching gives( better results than the
binary method; stiffly starched cur

pour over the poached eggs.
Cheese Omelet-Grate two ounces of
cheese; mix the yolks of two eggs with
pne-eighth teaspoonful of salt and
same of pepper, and two tables poontuls
of cold water; beat the whites of the
two eggs to a stiff froth, add slowly to
the yolk mixture, beating all the while;
place the frying pan with one tea
spoonful of butter over the
fire. When hot pour in the

is brown underneath sprinkle over it
half the cheese; place the pan for
few minutes in a hot oven. Prepare
another omelet in the same way using
the other half of cheese. This dish is
