Women Gardeners.

The women's branch of the Horticul-
tural college at Kent, England, has had
in the past seven years 1876 students, Of
whom SO have completed their training.
Thirty-eight Of the students are report
ed as holding or having held positions
in gardens, public or private. There
can be no more agreeable and useful oc-
~cupation for women than that OF horti-
culture, and the results from this col
lege are most encouraging. There is a
greater demand for women gardeners
than the institution is able to supply.
One of the institutions named as en-
ploying a woman gardener is the Lady

TO Make SILK silky.

Silk that has lost its luster can some
times be restored to glossiness. Let a
dozen large potatoes be grated into a
gallon of soft water, stirred well and
left to settle for "a hours. The fabric
must then be sponged with the clear
LIQUID, which must be absolutely freed
from any sediment. Then place the
material between moist cloths of fine
texture and iron with considerable
pressure in one direction. Your silk
should then once more be silky.
