POINTS ON IRONING LACE.
Well to Remember If You Desire the
Best Results.

One of the points to remember when
ironing lace is to- iron it well to the
width, so that the whole design of the
lace will show clear and distinct and
look as near like the new material as
possible.
To do this the lace must be careful
ly pulled to the width and then placed
On the table wrong side up and ironed
along the straight edge, holding the
lace up in front of the iron so that
the toe of the iron may press the lace
to the width and also keep the sell
wedge straight.
Again place the lace fiat on the ia
BILE and iron across the width, press
ing the toe Of the iron into each point
until it is quite dry. II the lace has a
raised pattern, a thick piece of felt
or three folds of ordinary blanket may
be slipped under the ironing sheet
and the lace ironed over 1t. This will
raise the work considerably.
Very fine lace should be ironed
through muslin and never touched
with the bare metal.

The chief requirement for boxes is
that they be of sufficient size to hold
