Discolored pewter says the House
Beautiful" may be cleaned IN a brine
formed of salt and sand Another
method advocated by the same author
fly Is to boil the pewter for two or
three hours In q copper vessel filled
with water, I'm which a peck Of wood
ashes, two pounds of soda washing
soda, presumably and an armful of hay
saturated with silver sand, The metal
is afterwards rlnsed and dried. This
seems more troublesome than to send
the pewter TO professional scourer,
hut one Of the marks Of a true amateur
is the desire to restore precious things
to their beauty unaided.
An ingenious cook keeps cracker box
es. three inches by twelve inches in size,
to bake loaf cakes In. OF course, the
quick baking cakes are not indicated,
but when q cool or slow oven Is re-
Quired the boxes run no risk Of burn
ing. and the paratIlnc paper with which
they are lined prevents The cake from
sticking The size aud shape are ex-
actly right for slicing.
No piece Of velvet, no matter how
cumpled or marred, need be thrown
away useless For even I'm the most
hopeless looking fragments Turk unsus-
pected possibilities of rejuVenation,
They should be thoroughly washed with
good pure soap Of some kind, and al
lowed to dry partly after rlnsing. Then
with n hot iron. they are to be pressed
on both sides till perfectly dry In con-
cluslon the iron may be passed back
ward and forward, with a polishing
motion ON the right side. and the result
| Is "panne" velvet OF the newest type,
| cut up into diamonds circles and
| strips. either applied, plain or ornamen-
tai with French knots, these odds and
| ends will be found very useful pos
session Just now, when laces and silks
ana woolens are alike decorated.
A variation Of the favOrte club sand.
wlch Is achieved by using well drained
sardines IN place OF chicken. Toast thin
slices of bread and place between the
slices banChed lettuce leaves, two slices
Of crlsped bacon, and q sardine split
and honed Lettuce and bacon must be
placed on each side Of toast,
Most good housekeepers have on hand
q soap shaker In which to stow away
the bits Of soap that sOon become toe
small for handling and are likely to gel
lost. But the fragments Of the scourinI
stones and bricks are m ever veXint
domestic problem 4 good and econom
zeal way of disposlng OF hem Is to place
them between two strong pieces o.
brown paper and crush them with 6
rolling pin TIL perfectly pulverized. TIT
powder can then be put into a tin oal
or box and used with n damp cloth fo
securing tins, agateware, brasses, etc
odds and ends Of a dozen kinds may
be mixed together with impunlty
Grease. cooking butter and dripping
OF any Kind that have become strong
on discolored may be made sweet an'
white by being clarified with bits OF raw
potato. Turn all the drippings into
deep kettle witch has a perfectly fttlnl
cover, and allow them 60 become heat
ed through. IN the meantime Slte an
peel one medium potato Tor tire
pounds Of dripping. Slice aud throw Z
and allow II an to cook together unit
the bits Of potato are q deep brown
strain and set away When cold
quantity Of snow-white shortening
material will repay the time an
trouble.
