Something, although not strictly new,
certainly worthy of notice. is painting up
on lace for decorative and household pur-
poses. The work is in imitation of old
Cretan laces, which were made with col
ored threads. arranged as patterns upon
a black or white ground. 1t is executed
with water colors, and can be used for
sofa cushions and similar things, frills
for old-looking portieres, to give them
the air of antiquity, or for dainty bed or
couch dressing. The colors are made fast
by the use of a fxative, and though they
will not stand washing. they will not spoil
from atmospheric causes. To paint: Use
veloutine as a fixative: moist water col
ors. with Chinese white of body colors
red sable brushes. and work upon lace
of good designs Stretch the lace and pin
it down to drawing board, so that ev-
cry part of it is quite secure. Select the
colors to use, and where they are ap-
piled, and over every place that is to be
painted lay wash of undiluted velou-
tine. When it is dry a wash of Chinese
white and veloutine, pass that over the
parts already sized with the veloutine,
and then paint the lace with bright colors
in set pattern. Metallic colors, such as
gold, silver and bronze, can be applied in
the same way to the lace. See that the
colors are thoroughly absorbed into the
lace, and remember the more broken and
diversified the coloring the better the eff

What can be more discouraging than
the June weeds? No matter how hard
we fight them, they seem determined to
conquer. Just try leaving home for
week or two in early June, and allow
them their own sweet will during this
time, if you would gain some idea of
their possibilities. Constant watchful-
ness and systematic work is about the
only remedy for these pests. And then
the insects-take the rose pests for in
stance-if one is not careful the aphis
and the slugs and the rose bugs will fair
ly swarm in June. Do not wait until
they gain a foothold, but begin early, and
give the bushes an occasional busting
with slugshot and hellebore, or spray
with kerosene emulsion, and this preven-
tive will be better than any amount of
cure, and so much less trouble.
But other plants will suffer from the
insects as well as the roses, although If
they are kept thrifty and making good
growth there will be very little trouble
from the various insects, which, like the
weeds, will take advantage of you If you
give them the slightest opportunity. An
occasional spraying with a strong decoc-
ton made from tobacco stems will rout
the green aphis, and will also persuade
the other insects to seek more agreeable
quarters.
1t is well to remember that small weeds
are more easily killed than large ones;
that the first few insects are more easily
conquered than the swarms that will fol-
low if they are left undisturbed; that the
young and tender plant is more easily
trained than one that has grown old in
its .'crookedness;'' ann we1l-'a word to
the wise is sufficient

This is just the time to gather sweet
clover leaves and after a partial drying
to store them away with your linen. There
is nothing more exquisite than the light,
delicate fragrance of this abundant green.
Select the top shoots and break into small
springs. You can't use too much of 1t. and
while 1t is so hight as to offend not the
most fastidious, ii win act a full year in
the chests or drawers where your wear
ing apparel is kept. When partially dried

care to shake ii back while they are re-
moved; or, II you can't get such large
quantities, dry what you have perfectly
and make into large, fiat sachets of thin
silk or cheese cloth. You are sure to be
delighted with the result The very new
est idea for perfuming ones clothes is to
have the laundress boil either piece of
orris root or small bag Of pulverized or
