The Care of Laces.

Iron lace on the right side first, theit
on the wrong side, to throw up the
pattern.
When ironing laces, cover them with
clean, white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny lock seen on washed
lace.
When putting lace away, fold as lit
tie as possible. A good plan is to wind
1t round a card, as they 10 IN the
shops.
Use corn -four instead Of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces: This makes
them firm and does not detract from
the lacey appearance.
Laces aud other delicate trifies
should be placed in a muslin bag be-
fore being boiled. This prevents their
getting lost and torn in the wash.
After getting up' laces do MOI leave
them to air in a damp PLAYGROUND The
fire when the kettle is boiling, for in
stance. This robs them of their fresh
hess and makes them lcok limp.
All laces before being irOned should
be carefully pulled out, each point re-
ceiying attention. You will be repaid
for your trouble, as the lace will look
twice rs nice and last clean much
longer time.

Secret of Making Coed Coffee.

The cafetiere, which IS the name of
the coffee-pot in France, is very differ
ent from the simple boilers III use IN
many hous holds in America OF
course, some of our cooking school
girls do have French coffee-po.s, but
the majority do not. The utensil con
sists Of two halves. In one, which
has the lower position for the time
being, is placed the water, and in the
upper, which is provided with q per
forated bottom, is placed the ground
coffee. The spirit stove is then lighted,
and whenever the water reaches the
boiling point the stove is turned over.
The boiling water is thus allowed to
percolate through the coffee in its
compartment and fall into the rccPpta'
Gle beneath it, extracting the essence
of the bean. Another form is ar
ranged so that the water in boiling
over reaches the coffee and thence
flows into the outer jacket of the uten-
sill, where it is drawn off at small
nickel plated tap. These are made in
all sizes, from two to twelve cups ca
pacity.

about the physiological and psyche
logical makeup of the Chinaman are

China lies within the tropics, and that
a great part of the empire enjoys a
winter at least as severe as that o.

fact that the climatic discipline of the
Chinaman has been that of the
Frenchman, the German, the Austrian,
the American and the Briton.
