should walk the streets in comic or fancy

the houses were far apart, fires were lighted
near the doors to invite she wanderer, and
the homeless one to place of shelter, and
good cheer, for the night, at least. The

sad that circumstances should have render

How to wash China,

If china is decorated with gold il
should never be washed with soap, as
it has a dulling effect and after time
causes the gilt to rub off. Hot water
does no harm. 1t is better soft, and. if
no rain water be handy, it is an easy
matter to boil it well, then reduce it to
the proper temperature. The softer the
drying cloth the better. Use it the mo-
ment the articles are out Of the water
To rinse in cold water is to retard the
drying. Besides, many cracks are due
to the sudden plunge from hot to cold
water.
