Washing of Ffne Lnces.

In washing fine laces, says the Mill
merry Trade Review, have a strip of
flannel on which to haste the lace,
using care to have every point basted
down smoothly. Make a strong suds
with white soap and water. Dissolve
one teaspoonful of borax in half a pint
of boiling water and add to it two
quarts of the suds. When this liquid is
tepid, lay the lace in it and let it soak
for ten hours or more. Then sop and
squeeze the flannel but do the work
carefully and gently; then squeeze out
all the suds and drop the flannel in a
bowl of hot suds. Work gently in this
water. Now rinse in fresh water until
the water looks clear. Finally starch
and squeeze as dry as possible.
Tack the flannel on a clean board,
drawing it very tight in all directions.
See that every part of the lace lies
smooth and that all the meshes are
open. When dry, cut the basting
threads and draw them out very gen
tly. The lace may be tinted in the last
rinsing water if the dead white is not
liked. If the lace is point or any of the
laces with raised designs, it will be
necessary to lift the raised work with
small pointed instrument.

"Few women realize" says a French
expert, that the secret of face care
is to treat each feature separately.
American women in particular do not
seem to understand that there are as
many compilations as there are figures
and that no one cosmetic can be good
for all faces nor for all parts of the
face. Rarely is the skin of nose and
cheek of the same quality, and what is
healing for one may injure the other.
For example, the skin may be of good
quality all over the face except ON the
nose, where too much oil is secreted.
Bathing the skin with a soft sponge
dipped in borax water will be of value,
while such treatment would be too
drying for the rest of the face, or the
wrinkles around the eyes may be treat
ed with cocoa butter, which might be
harmful for nose and cheek. Leave
all cosmetics entirely alone or under
stand their USE" is her closing advice.

The girl who as bookkeeper, clerk
stenographer, milliner or teacher in her
village home receives a weekly salary
of 81 is far better off financially than
the girl in the same occupations in the
city who gets SIS week.
In the first place the living expenses
are much smaller in the country than
in the city. One gets very much more
for her money in the way of home
comforts, the wear and tear of cloth
ing is much less and as q rule the
work less harassing to the nerves,
since there are not the same hurry and
rush, keeping brain and nerves stretch
ed to the tightest possible tension, so
that after the days work is over one
is too tired to go in search of enjoy
ment.
Working long hours at muscle weary
ing, brain wearing, nerve rasping tasks
In shops, offices and counting rooms
causes the city working girl to long for
rest above everything else and in itself
precludes the chances of her making
desirable outside acquaintance except
such as may be offered through church
affiliations, and even these she is too
tired to mprove.-Philadelp Ledg.

A dainty little bag to hold soiled
