How to Clean Lace.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Lace is used in such profusion on all gar
ments that its cleansing is matter of I'M
portance. Just now, when sumemr furbe-
lows are showing all too apparent signs of
wear and frequent packings, ones mind
turns to the best method of their reiuvena-
ton. A marble mantei or table top Judi
ciously used may take the place often in
the drying Of more elaborate means After
the lace has been washed and rinsed, while
still quite wet, it may be stretched on the
polished surface, its edges and meshes be
pulled out with sharp point and then be
left to dry. For choice lace, however, a
wooden cloth on which to haste it before it
is put in the water is better. White flannel
is best for the purpose. Basic the lace on
with fine thread, running the stitches
through the pearls and loops to hold il In
perfect shape and retain it's pattern. Then
stretch the flannel tight on a board. tack II
firmly and leave it to dry If every point
has been carefully adjusted 1t will come

For two quarts of suds use the one cupful
OF borax water. Put the lace in it and leave
it over night. In the morning remove the
flannel with the lace from the water and
rinse liz In several successive waters without
squeezing. AT this juncture many persons
clinging to the old idea that nothing is

In business phrase, there is money in
dressmaking in all its branches. writes
Rebecca Harding Davis in the Independ-
ent There is a fortune in it, if Our Girl
will not be rash in counting herself to
have ''apprehended,'' but do this one
thing"
An if so high and broad we may well halt
at the base to gather courage and breath.
An if which is the key to the terrible prob
lem of women's work, when used as a
synonym of women's wrongs Our Girl will
be patient with one whose heart and head
have travelled long with the sorrows and
perplexities of her class, while the truth
is spoken in love on this subject.
The reason why women are not paid as
well as men for what seems to be an equal
degree and kind OF labor is-in ninety nine
out of a hundred cases-because the work is
not as well done as a man would do 1t in
the same circumstances.
1t is not so we'll done because-first ii is
not the custom to train girls severely as
boys, and precedent and usage are potent
here. Secondly and chiefly, because a girl
considers her trade, be it typewrit-
ing. bookkeeping, selling merchandise,
dressmaking or teaching-as a raft that
will float her and her fortunes until she is
picked up-near shore. or far at sea-by the
good ship "Matrimony.'' Then the raft is
abandoned, and forgotten, so far as she can
forget an unpleasant episode. The boy
learns his business for a lifetime. That he
hopes to marry somebody is but another
reason why he should master the more
thoroughly every department of his work,
and make himself the sooner indispensable
to his employer.

Never use raw vinegar, as it is apt to
become ropy and does not keep well. Cider
vinegar is never safe to use unless scalded.
But it should not be boiled too long, as
overheating destroys its strength, and it
should be very strong when poured over the
fruit the first time; therefore use it as soon
as it comes to the boiling point.
Long boiling gives you a richer-colored
fruit, but robs 1t of much of the natural
flavor. Pears and such fruit as is likely
to harden If placed at once into a thick
syrup should be cooked in clear water or
very weak syrup until they are just tender.
On the other hand, peaches and apples will
soften If placed at first in the rich syrup.
To extract the juice and harden them
strew sugar over them and let them stand
over night. or at least for several hours; or,
better STILL cook them for a very few min
utes in good thick syrup, then lift them
out with wire spoon or skinner, lay them
on fiat dishes, and place them in the sun
for several hours. Then arrange in the
jars and pour the boiling hot syrup over
them.
A Good Sweet Pickle-This formula will
answer for most fruits: Take four quarts
of best vinegar, five pounds of best brown
or coffee sugar, quarter of a pound of
stick cinnamon and two ounces of whole
and skim well before pouring over the fruit
