Copper ToiIef ArticLes

All the requisites which the woman
of dainty and refined taste likes to
scatter over her dressing table, from
comb, brush and mirror to the mani
cure pieces and the different brushes
which serve a variety of purposes,
come in the new royal copper. The es-
sentials for correspondence are also of
copper, says the Washington Post.
The corner pieces for the writing pad
ink wells, rolling blotters, calendars
stamp boxes, pen trays, pen holders,
mucilage pots, paper weights, paper
clips, envelope openers-all of these
are produced Of the royal copper,
sometimes with trimmings of simple
silver band, or more elaborate scroll,
or floral borders of silver.
Card cases and pocketbooks of the
fine feathers, such as seal, wailrus, liz
ard and morocco, are mounted with
corner pieces or bound narrowly with
copper. Wrist bags and chatelaine
bags are also mounted with copper.

To CIean SteeI KniYes

When knives have steel blades they
must be cleaned and polished after
each service. This is best accom-
plisihed if the cook keeps a small
basket in which a potato. a bath brick
and a polish cloth are hid. For use
scrape the cut end of a potato into it
and use this to rub the blade of the
knife free of all stains Then polish
with the cloth and wash the handles
carefully in warm, but not hot, water
The potato has an acid in it which acts
wonderfully upon Steel and not only
keeps a knife blade clean, but actually
preserves its sharpness.

The Making of Lace

membered all lace must be free from
knots. Carry the thread by a blind
stitch or two through the braid to the
desired starting point; here take a
tiny button-hole stitch, which will
make the loosening of the threads an
impossibility. This same rule applies
to finished work. Always leave enough
thread in your needle to catch two or
three stitches with its finishing button
hole accompaniment Never in lace
making stint yourself as to thread, as
nothing ruins lace work so much as
to be drawn, puckered or gathered.
The design of the pattern should stand
out from the background; therefore
this part of the work is heavy, or the
more solid stitches, while the back
ground has an open stitch, cobwebs,
net and broken bars.

At the meeting of the Trustees for

In making lace great care should be
taken to avoid cutting the braids.
Lace designers plan their patterns as
1ar as possible to have a continuation
OF the braid extending to a point where
the break will not show. The worker,
by taking a pencil before starting the
pattern, and tracing from the starting
point to where the braid ends, will find
1t less confusing when the work is
started. This, also, places the pattern
in the workers mind. If the braid is
not sufficient to reach the desired point
end it at the base of a flower or leaf,
rather than midway in the pattern,
where piecing will be discernible. 1t
is better to lose few inches of braid
than ruin an entire collar or bolero
by piecing. In starting the work or
fastening the threads, it must be re-

FARNHURST BILL WAS DISCUSSED
Legislators Express Their Confidence
In the Trustees Of the

Special 10 the IAtlhuH J0AAAlAAs
Dover. Jan. 29.-When the bill for
the appropriation Of $4,000 to the
Delaware State Hospital for the In
sane came up in the Senate yesterday
for passage, there was much discussion
over the merits Of the bill which calls
for so much money
Mr.. McNulty opened the discussion,
after complimenting the trustees OF the
Institution, by saying:
But have they a right TO erect build
ings and will and without legislative
sanction? We stand responsible to the
people for those expenditures and we
ought to know how to explain IL.
Dr.. Moore: 1--WE are informed that
these new buildings for tuberculosis
hospital are paid for out OF the receipts
from pay patients. Why not have some
OF the trustees here to talk this over?
This money, It strikes me, is paid by
the friends OF the unfortunates to pay
mot for new buildings-but for main
tenance. Now ought It not 20 go into
the general fund for maintenance OF
the hospital?'
Mr.. Conner: 81 presume that those
gentlemen have acted within their
province. This, however IS the time
to turn ON the light about this very
large expense item upon which we are
passing. How long is the increase TO
continueg'
President Cannon: While you are
somewhat out of order Senators, the
chair desires this bill fully understood,
regardless of parliamentary practice y
Mr.. Clements: III the trustees are
going to accumulate their pay-pauents'
receipts until they have Sll 900 and then
build buildings with this accumulated
fund instead of applying It to general
expenses, then they'll need all this
money and more"
Mr.. Alice: "The special committee
and expert accountants engaged to
audit the Farnhurst accounts will ex-
plain these matters in their report and
then we can take decisive action.
Don't let's delay the appropriation
Mr.. Sparks: I'VE must pay the bill
before us. II the trustees are going
without their province, then it is for
this body to control these acts. They
are certainly doing a good and a neces-
sary work in separating consumptive
patients from the patient body and
working toward saving human life"
Mr.. Connor: But, Mr. President,
after this is passed, the child will have
been named, and it will be too late
for corrective measures"
Mr.. Sparks: These gentlemen need
this money-if they find they do not
need it all, feel confident it will not
be spent"
Mr.. Price gave notice OF an act en-
powering the prothonOtary Of New
Castle county to make new indices.
Mr. Holcomb gave notice Of an act
amending the act regulating the busi-
ness Of pawnbrokers and junk dealers
in New Castle county.
These bills were read and referred:
House bill repeating the manufactur-
ers' tax law; House bill authorizing
the Smyrna Town Council to borrow
