Straw mating should never be
washed with soap. A large coarse
cloth should be dipped in salt, and then
rubbed the way of the straw. The mat
should then be thoroughly dried. and

yellow. Papier-mache articles, too,
must not be treated to soap. They
should he lightly sponged with cold
water then dredged with fine -four,

membership of 157 and read resolu-
tons prepared by committee on the
death of Homer II. Bassett Of Water
bury, and also bill to be presented to
the legislature by the Connecticut Pub
lie library committee. A. letter was
read from the Massachusetts Library
club on the desirability OF holding a
joint meeting with the Connecticut Lii
brary association, and announcements
were made in connection with the

denned the object of a bookplate to be

back to Egypt and Nineveh. The mod
ern word was first used in Ireland,s
Hogarth in 1901. The first style in use
was heraldic, and then came the ribbon
and wreath. Engraved bookplates are
elegant. but expensive, Photographic
process work and zinc line blocks less
costly. Simplicity in design is always
to be desired, and plate for a public
library should be correct, pleasing. and
the work Of a competent designer. Ii
library cannot afford an artistic de-
sign, a simple printed label is better.
PORTRAITS, city arms and seals are APP
propriate. but landscapes are not.
Miss H. Eleanor Brigham and Miss

stration of book mending, which was
of great interest to all present. The
