AlbatrOSS BlOuSeS

THE prettiest blouses for wearing
 on the chill days that come in
 spring. and even in summer, are made of white albatross, inset with cluny, which, by the way, is growing nightly in favor.
 Upon some of them the cluny takes the form of the narrowest of inser- tion set between tucks, or outlining an oddly shaped yoke, embroidered in wash silk. Upon others square me- daIlions are used. but the newest of all have those characteristic cluny bits-shaped like a pond lily leaf-the whole yoke, perhaps, made up Of them, the centre of each deftly clipped out and a bit of the albatross put In It's place and embroidered.
 Both cluny lace and albatross wash well, so there's a point of economy in them. Yet Paris, in spite of that note of economy. has set the seal of her ar proVal upon them, sending over the most fascinating. costly editioDs ng the Idea.

To Clean IVORY.

Wash the ornaments we'll in soap
and water, using a soft toothbrush
to remove the dust from any fine
work there may be upon them. Dry
them by laying them in bright sun
shine, keeping them constantly wet
with soapy water for several days
while they are in the sun. Finally
wash and rinse them again. Never
let them get dry, or the heat will
cause the ivory to warp.
If the ivory is much stained, but
not very deeply, rub the surface with
finely ground pumice stone and wa
ter, moisten we'll and lay in the sun
to bleach, as above recommended.
If this does not succeed, wash the
knife handles or other articles with
one part of nitric acid and ten parts
of water.
Polish with very finely powdered
whitening made into paste with
vinegar.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Jellies are of finer flavor when

To make boiled potatoes white let

Boiled cauliflower will be much
whittier If placed in the saucepan

Cooked meat simmered gently in q

MANICURING THE NAILS.
Requires Little Time and Effort To
Have Well Kept Nails.

Any woman who Is willing to de-
vote half hour once week and
i've minutes every day can have at
tractlve looking nails. Some, OF
course, are less responsive to treat
ment than others, but none is hope
less. Some nails are too brittle,
which causes them to break, and
others are too soft and bend in an
annoying manner. This shows plain
ly that they need an emollient of
some sort.
II you can, consult reliable
manicure, who will advise you just
what will be best for your particular
case. Persevere until you find a
preparation that is beneficial, and
then persevere in using it until your
nails are in a healthy, normal condi-
tion
After getting your nails in a
healthy condition, the next step is to
get them well shaped.
For shaping the nails emery
boards are the best. Run the board
around the outline of the nails and
shape them as prettily as possible;
then let them alone.
Constant shipping with curved
scissors is responsible for many a
mis-shaped nail. The cuticle should
next receive attention. There Is no
possible excuse for using scissors
upon the cuticle, and the sooner the
woman who Is doing her own mani
curing learns this the better for the
appearance of her hands After soak
ing the fingers in warm water, push
the cuticle gently back with a bit of
soft Turkish toweling. If it is
slightly obstinate, use a little cold
cream on an orangewood stick very
gently and with much caution This
will keep the nail long and almond
shaped and cause the moons to APP
pear. There are moons at the base
OF every nail, and perseverance in
this treatment will make them ap-
pear.
Many wrongly believe that man
ual or domestic work dooms the
nails to ugliness, but this is not SO.
The treatment advised above will
bring out all the natural shell tints
of the nails and preserve their beau
ty indefinitely But they must have
regular attention, or their beauty
will disappear
