An Economical Recipe For
Laundering Lace Curtains
at Home.

written for the Citizen by 5. H. H. }
| have always heard that the
Maryland house keepers were
the best in the land, not except,
ing even our old Virginia house
wives, so it may not be so profit
able to tell my way of laundering
lace curtains to them, but there
are always young beginners who,
like myself, are glad to save their
pennies and at the same time
have excellent work done. Is is
not III the laundering of the lace
curtains where the expense comes
in, but in the way they tear them
and make small rents and holes
all through them. BY doing them
at home and being careful they
will last twice as long. Such has
been my experience. 1t is the
rough usage the curtains receive
away from home that creates the
expense. | think my learning to
soak them over night in cold
water was one source of success,
then the next morning rinse them
through several clean waters.
This makes very little rubbing
necessary The first thing to do
is to shake them free of all dust
then look over them carefully to
see if there are any small holes
or rents, if so mend them neatly
with linen or cotton floss cotton
is the best). After letting them
soak all night next morning take
them out, rinse through several
waters, then put them in tub of
warm pearline suds. with a little
white soap added, squeeze them
up and down and then wash in
second tub of suds prepared as
the first, then put them in a tub
OF boiling Suds. If YOU desire to
have them pure white slightly
blue the water, but if YOU wish
them cream color or pale yellow
rinse them through water TO which
Il little coffee has been added.
Dry them in the sun aud open air
if you have frames and can put
out several pair at once, but if
not, tack sheets on to a carpet in
a room not used at night and pin
the curtains to them carefully.
Let them get perfectly dry before
taking them up. Some put them
through a thin starch water.
Some prefer them without stiff
ness.

Besides ThOreau and his mother the
house (at Concord has had for its oc-
cupants A. Bronson Alcott and family.
including his distinguished daughter.
Louisa NJ. the author" writes Samuel
5. Kingdom in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. TO them sometimes came the
ghost of Nine. Thoreau. Those who
know Nine. Thoreau and her habits
confirm the description given by a
servant, who left the house because of
the visitation, in every detail; her tall
gaunt figure, her big, white cap, her
stealthy step, her quiet comings. her
noiseless goings.
When seen, she invariably stood in
justed. her neat handkerchief, half I'M
folded, tucked securely into the waist
band of her full dress skirt-pausing a
moment on the Threshold looking anx-
iously about, then STOPPING and run
ing her finger along the edge of the
mopboard, to see if perchance speck
of dust had found Judgment there.
Proceeding to the workroom, she glanc-
ed in, then glided to the fireplace.
STOPPING over it and motioning with
her hands as if in the act of covering
the Goals with ashes.
"In life, it should be said, the tive
prominent characteristics of Nine
Thoreau were an adherence of dust
and dread of fire. Satisfied on these
points, the spirit would disappear. I'm
like other ghosts, this one always APP
peared in the daytime"

Mr.. Charles f. Rothenhoefer

last Sunday evening with his

Judging from the amount of
travel through this place on Sat
urday last, the Mountaindale

success and the largest of the
season There was continuous
stream of travel from early in
the morning until late in the at
ternoon. The Mountaindale pic
mic, like the Yellow Springs
Band, which furnished the music,
is coming to the front.

The dog raced around it once or twice

meet not to judge us by the 20
lemics of our newspapers and
from the cosmopolitan agitation
of our Partisan boulevards. but
to do like you and to make ac
qualntance with our depart

perfectly reasonable request, for
the longer one lives here the
palmer does it become to him that
Paris is not France and France is
not Paris. 1t would be very I'm.

A Chinese story

VI. Monnier, the well known French
Asiatic traveller, vouches for the truth
of the following story of how his
friend, Hop Sing, travelled oriental
and man OF means and refinement was
on one occasion sorely victimized. Hop
Sing lived in the street Of the roasted
corn, as unSayory and as i'll paved
street Us any in all Picking The local
mandarin was an intimate friend Of
his, and Hop Sing awaited himself Of
this friendship to press the mandarin
to have the street repaved Certainly.
At once. The men would be at work
on it before Hop Sing had returned
home. y week passed, then another
visit, ana 50 on, until, in despair Hop
Sing determined to have the street re-
paired at his own expense. The work
was satisfactorily completed.
The surprise of Hop Sing was only
equaled by his indignation when, on
awaking one morning, he found gang
of coolies upheaving the newly tagged
street. His surprise grew when he
heard from the mandarin's own lips
