liquor When this is used only one rinsing is
required more removes the slight stiffness the
articles would otherwise have.
With perishable things hard water, always OBJ
jectionable, becomes more SO and seems to have
a spotting tendency with buffs and grays either
in linen or muslin.
Lukewarm water with little washing powder
OF some certain character is used for washing
silks. The soap should not be rubbed on the fab
nc, and squeezing should be employed instead OF
rubbing and wringing If this fails to bring out
the dirt it may first be soaked in little water,
into which small quantity of borax has been dis
solved. Dissolve the borax In boiling water and
add to the lukewarm water without heightening
it appreciably. Heat takes the color out OF col
ored silks, and they must not be dried in strong
sunlight Since silks are ironed wet, breezy
day is desirable for taking of the first wetness
little vinegar put in the last rinsing water will
fix the color in black silk. Salt is good to put in
the rinsing water for the warmer shades, such as
scarlet, yellows and pinks, also some pale blues.
Silks scorch easily and care must be taken that
the iron be fairly cool. A hot iron causes them
to fade With silks it is especially necessary that
the iron be "slickly' clean.

THE WEDDING MORNING
L a Up dry HiDts

Chambrays, calieoes and ginghams often look
fresher and better than new when washel,
starched and ironed in exactly the right way In
washing muslins and lawns one must avoid ex-
tremo heat either in water, drying in the sun
or in ironing, II one would preserve the colors.
When starching them one must bear In mind that
less starch Is required to stfen close weaves suf
fciently than open meshed goods. just q sus
picion of stiffening may be obtained by starching
them wet, waiting always for the starch to cool
little before dipping them into 1t. Before hang
ing out TO dry shake them 80 the folds will not
become matted together, and SO stand in danger
of being torn when pulled apart.
If the clothes have become dry and need fold
ing and sprinkling before ironing, warm water
and not cold water should be used, as the latter
is likely to make starch spots. Generally, of
course 1t is best to iron them before they have
become quite dry.
When soap is not used for cleaning delicate
muslins, wheat bran is sometimes substituted.
1t is supposed TO take out the dirt keep the color
and stifen slightly. Make the bran by boiling

Mems for Mothers

Don't expect children to be beautiful unless
they are healthy, happy and contented.
Don't hang heavy curtains at the windows; let
the sunshine pour in.
Don't have any carpets on the bedroom floors;
use rugs instead. Have few hangings and fewer
ornaments.
Don't comb child's hair too much. Brush it
carefully with soft brush.
Don't think child can have brightness of eyes,
clearness, softness and smoothness of skin with
out good food, though it should be only of
plain kind.

There is too much gaiety and too little gravity
concerning marriage nowadays. The huge amount
Of shopping necessitated by the modern brides
outfit is liable to swamp the sentiment and poetry
Of the situation.
"Happy is the bride whom the sun shines on"
runs the old saying But happier still that bride

ment that she has little freshness and romance TO
carry to the altar.

CONCERNING DUMPIINGS

Some recipes for making dumplngs call for
shortening. This is mistake, and nice stew
fricassee is often spoiled by being served with
heavy, soggy dumplings. Heaviness is caused
also by removing the lid of the pot or steamer
before the dumplings are done. During the cook
ing the liquid in the pot should be kept at a
steady boil No moro dough should be dropped
in at time than will cover the surface OF the
liquid or rest on the meat or those underneath
will be soggy and heavy. Do not Lift the cover
till the dumplinss are done. Flour, salt, good
baking powder and sweet milk are all that are
needed to make light, fluffy dumplinss. Mix and
sft j pint -four, teaspoons baking pow
der and half teaspoon salt lightly and quickly
Mix to soft dough with milk. Turn on board,
roll out l inch thick, cut in small circles; roll
each in -four, drop on top OF the stew; cover;
cook 20 minutes without removing the lid.

WILD DUCK SOUP.

sedgy or fshy parboil each with car
rot inside its body, then take out the carrot and
throw it away You will find that all the un-
pleasant flavor has left the ducks and has been
absorbed by the carrot
Gut up the ducks, season each piece with salt
and pepper and lay them in soup pot. For a
large soup you should have four ducks, and three
sliced onions and tablespoonful of ground sage,
also quarter OF pound of butter divided in
four parts and each part rolled in -four. Pour
in water enough to make rich soup and let 1t
boil slowly till all the flesh has left the bones;

will be found an improvement In taking up the
soup be careful to leave the bits of bone and meat

(SEgD lemon tints that every fresh Seeding
is hailed with delight by gardeners.
AT one show held by the Royal Horticultural
society a new variety called the Rising Sun was
much admired, and another handsome bloom
was Sir Watkin. Both Of these can be recon-
mended to people who make speciality of these
flowers, and who may wish to add to their col
lection: The ordinary plan followed with ressrd
TO dahodhs is to leave the bulbs to ripen until
August, when they should be lifted, and after
the soil has been well dug and manured they
can be replanted. But when space in the bor-
ders Is valuable it is quite feasible to take the
plants up in May, just at the time when the
bedding-out has to be done; the daffodils can be
laid IN on reserve corner until the foliage poes
off, and they have thoroughly ripened. No harm
should result from this treatment Il it is care

But still greater need is week of retreat
or rest for the bride who has been 60 rushed will,
trousscau buying, getting clothes fitted, oolors
matched, hats bought, presents packed, unpack
ed, and acknowledged, that she feels an absolute
wreck on her wedding morning.
The million and one little duties and cere
monials connected with the exchange Of maiden
hood for matrondom are very firing and excit
ing,
There Is so much fuss Of packing, fret and rush
and waves of excitement before the curtain rise:
on the wedding piece that the ceremony proves
the last straw for a girl already highstrung an6
tuned TO concert pitch.
A certain percentage of friends will be sure tc
send their presents at the eleventh hour to ado
to the harassments of the bride Often she has
to sit up very late on her wedding eve writing
letters of thanks for laggard gifts
So many farewell dances, functions and dinners
are arranged in the brides honor that she car
hardly help beginning her honeymoon with nerve:
out OF tune and body and mind so strained thai
many little notes Of jar and jangc are introduced
into the Wedding March-and after.
Surely few days of complete quiet, rest, and
contemplation could be spared out of the social
whirl to prepare for the greatest and most solemn
step in girls life.

fuse oil social engagements for one entire week
