LACE CURTAIN WASHING.
The greatest danger in washing lace
is OF tearing or breaking the fine
threads.
Curtains will not bear hard rubbing;
they must be gently sopped up and
down in teDid soapy water.
Before putting the curtains into the
tub they should be thoroughly shaken
so as TO rid them of dust.
Allow the curtains to soak over night
i'm tepid water; in the morning put
them into hot suds and continue the
sopping and pressing process until the
dirt has been washed out. Rinse in clear
tepfd water.
Squeeze out the water and stretch
the curtains 10 dry on curtain stretch

the eggs must be taken az nearly as
possible from the nest. Beat the whole
together with a pint Of old Jamaica
rum, strain through muslin, then add
q quarter Of a pound OF sugar candy.
Give this to anyone, teaspoonful at a
time.

distinctly dowdy. In fact, smart peo-
pie never wear n rain cloak Should
the weather clear up one always looks
the right thing IL one wears a smartly
built tailor gown, no matter how dingy
the color may he. or course. only
good material must be selected, az such
alone can defy the action OF rain and
J.ud.

The new wells are verv clear and
have quite small spots. not too closely
set. Fine white and flesh pink tulle Is
strewed with small black spots and the
all white vellings are exceedingly thin
