Hints About Handkerchiefs.
The handkerchief is suggestive of
the owners personality, and no toilet
| is complete without this bit of snowy
lawn or linen; and while it may be
severely plain, it should be above
reproach with regard to whiteness
and fineness of texture. Nothing is
more suitable for the centers of these
linen handkerchiefs than the finest
linen lawns. but good quality of
India linen is much used. In hem
stitching only three threads should be
drawn. as it gives a much heater eff
feet, and to make the threads easier
to draw dampen and press the ma
terial before beginning the work. If
! the young girl wants trimming for
her handkerchiefs other than hem
stitching she can purchase fine lace
| edging and insertion or make tatting,
and any of these are very dainty, as
| we'll as durable. The wise girl not
only makes her own pretty handker-
| chiefs, but she learns how to launder
them as we'll. Such articles can be
washed SO that they will lose none
| of their beauty If they are put in
| strong pearline suds and allowed to
remain over night; and If the hand
kerchiefs are very soiled little
ammonia should be added to the suds.
Unless the handkerchiefs are made
| of the very thinnest fabric they are
easily cleaned by rubbing between
the hands. Rinse twice in slightly
blued water with a little starch in the
second, and before they are quite dry
iron one side with hot irons. If the
work is carefully done the handker-
chiefs will be beautifully white and
| clean.
AS the best way of dispensing char
ity is in helping others to help them
selves, so in rearing family of chill
dren the better way is to teach them
to be self-reliant, extending, of
course. the helping hand when it
seems necessary.
The daughter is not we'll brought
up who has not careful training in
the science and parctice of good
housekeeping. She should have a
thorough knowledge of cooking, sew
ing and all the systematic work Of
keeping the house in order. "The
woman that announces that house,
keeping is drudgery virtually con-
fesses that she has been unequal to
her task" But if she will give her.
self to an intelligent study of its
problems, she may greatly simplify
the work and have the satisfaction of
a well-Ordered house, and thereby
hold the love and esteem of all who
share with her it's benefits.
