The long bread sticks that are now
to be had at all first-class bakeries are
improved by being placed for a few
minutes in a warm oven before sending
to the table.
Into a solution OF gum arabic stir
plaster Of Paris until the mixture as
sumes the consistency OF cream; apply
with brush to the edges OF broken
china, join together, and in three days
the article cannot be broken in the
same place.
Good clear starch is easily made.
Wet the lump starch with cold water,
stir till smooth. pour on boiling water
and cook till clear. 1t takes a quart
of boiling water to clear" two table,
spoonsfuls of lump starch. If too thick,
thin with blued water.
A package of absorbent cotton is one
of the conveniences appreciated by the
up-to-date housewife. One of its uses
is in removing grease spots from WOOL
ems. II applied Immediately after oil,
milk, butter, cream or other greasy
substance has been spilled on a fabric,
it will absorb every trace.
To prevent a bruise from becoming
discolored. apply water as hot as it can
be borne, changing the cloth as soon
as it loses its heat. If hot water can
not be had at once moisten some dry
starch and apply as a cold poultice.
Laces only slightly soiled may be
stored by rubbing them in magnesia OF
cornmeal. If they do not readily yield
to the treatment let them lie over night
in the powder.
A small lump Of paraffine added tc
starch while boiling will give it a
more brilliant glossyand will also aid in
preventing its sticking.

HINTS ABOUT THE HAIR

French women wash their hair much
less often than English or American
women, and probably for this reason
they have finer heads Of hair as rule.
Whatever there may be to say in faycr
of the good old English shampoo as far
as cleanliness is concerned, it is pre-
eminently not good thing for the hy-
giene of the hair. Hair dries much
less quickly than one thinks, and is
often dressed and put up too soon after
being shampooed, with the result tfat
the damp remains in it still longer than
is supposed. The very best dressing
