How to Wash Lace.

Lace is so much worn at the present
time, either as trimming on dresses or
in the form of collars or fichus, and
the difficulty of getting it nicely done up
so great, that a few instructions may be
useful to those who feel inclined to do
up such things in their homes. 1t is i'm
possible to expect these fine things to be
treated with sufficient care in most
laundries; there is not the time, nor, as
a rule, do the workers possess the skill
to give such articles the delicate handling
they require.
The dressing of lace is by no means a
difficult operation; in fact, it is one of
the simplest and least fatiguing branches
of laundry work; care and attention to
detail being all that is necessary.
First examine the lace to see if there
are any holes, and, if so, mend them
carefully before commencing to wash. If
the lace is very much soiled, soak it
| first for several hours in warm water and
soapsuds and few drops of ammonia.
Then squeeze it out of this and proceed
with the washing. Put into bowl or
small tub sufficient warm water to wash
the lace, and add gradually to it enough
melted soap to make the water soft and
frothy. Squeeze the lace in this and
work it up and down with the hands;
avoid all twisting and wringing, and on
no account must soap be rubbed on the
lace. The process is perfectly simple;
open and shut the hand over the lace,
and work it up and down in the water
1t must be remembered that the threads
of lace are usually very fine, and, in
some cases, most delicate, so the least
strain would cause them to crack, and
any rubbing or twisting would be dis
astrous in its effects. If the lace has
still soiled appearance after it's first
washing, repeat the process in clean
warm water, and then boil if necessary.
Lace should not be boiled with ordi-
nary clothes, but should be placed in
jar or jam-pot, with cold water to cover
it and a little shaved soap. Stand the
jar in saucepan with boiling water to
reach halfway up its sides, put on the
lid, and boil slowly from two to three
hours. Remove the lid occasionally,
and add more water if necessary.
When the lace is clean, rinse it thor
oughly, first in warm water, and then in
cold, allowing the cold water from the
pipe to run on it until the lace is quite
clear from soap. Then squeeze out as
much as possible of the water with the
hands, or pass it carefully through the
wringer, between the folds of a cloth.
The stiffening of lace may be done
either with starch or gum water. Many
people object to starch being used, on
the ground that it rots the lace, but
some stiffening is certainly necessary, or
the lace would be so limp that it would
have no body and soil quickly. What
must be aimed at is to give the lace the
same slight stiffness it has when new

The Spartan JAMS.
tAnna N. BENJAMIN in Ainslee's.


l have said that the Japanese are a
Spartan race: Many things besides their
resistance tetold prove it. The most of
them live in simplicity. They can 60 a
long time without food. The coolies
perform marvellous feats of strength and
endurance; they draw "jinrikisha" all
day to carry travellers over the steepest
mountains. Every summer a colony of
foreigners 90 to Mt. Hei-eizan near
KiotO. Their camp is several miles up
the steep mountain side, but early each
morning the Japanese bring up the mail,
fresh vegetables and milk, and women
often carry trunks to the summit on
their heads. In the upper classes the
old "samurai" ideals inculcated en-
durance, courage, and simplicity. A
writer in a recent magazine comments
upon the seven years. training of the
japanese office. This is the preparation
of second lieutenant; but it is merely
a continuation, under modern methods,
of the old "samurai'' requirements. The
fact that the Japanese is one of the best
soldiers in the world and one of the
toughest, is not such great cause for
wonder, because it is not the outcome of
Western military training-of moderni-
zation-for the seeds of the Western
methods were sown on long-cultivated
Spartan soil. The learning of new
military tactics and the adoption of up
to-date weapons may be likened to plac-
ing new machinery in an old mill which
depends for power on a great waterfall.
The new machinery provides no power

"DO 1T TO-DAY"

The time-worn injunction, "Never put
off til tomorrow what you can do to-
day." is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it to-day" That is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for
several days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it to-day-and let
that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty-five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for few days will
cure you completely. No matter how
deep-seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect cure
as it has done before in thousands of ap.
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

If you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from the

you eat must be digested, assimilated
