How to Tint laces.

When one desires to color lace for
gown. procure tube of oil paint the
color desired and squeeze 1t Into cup
of gasoline and stir until dissolved.
Then pour into larger vessel, says
the New York Globe. Dip small
piece of the lace into 1t, and If too
deep add more gasoline until the shade
desired is obtained. When 1t Is the
right color, put all the lace into 1t, take
ont. shake gently and dry In the open
air. When thoroughly dry, expose 1t
ia the extreme heat for few minutes,
taking care of course that 1t Is not
near a fire or blaze where it might ig-
mite. This exposure to the heat will
remove the odor of gasoline. Lace
which has been used and Will not
wash we'll can be given this treatment
If first dry cleaned by being sprinkied
generously with fuller's earth, then
rolled w and put away for few days.
Upon taking out shake we'll and then
proceed with the tinting as above.

FraIth In the CierQy,

The highlanders faith in the clergy
has always been peculiarly profound.
This characteristic Is illustrated,
though In rather an exaggerated way,
by the story OF two old women going
along the road after service who were
heard to discuss the sermon as fol-
lows:
Peggy-Ah, and did you hear that
most precious word, Kirsty-a most
precious word?
Kirsty-No. And what word was
that?
Peggy-Oh. n most precious word,
and It's myself that will not forget 1t,
the precious word ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Klrsty-Oh, yes But did you hear
that other most beautiful word? My
self never heard 1t said before, the
beautiful word Belshazzar.-Caled

How 70 Handle Rubber Plants.

The chief aiment of the rubber plant
Is sour soil from being watercd too
much, says the New York American.
Never allow any water to stand IN the
saucer. A generous spraying and wa
tering every other day is enough for
the average rubber plant. Once a
week put the plant, pot and all, in
pail Of water and while it Is there
wash the leaves thoroughly with soft
cloth or sponge and a very little pure
soap. Rinse well. Never put oil on
the leaves, as We have known amateur
gardeners to do to make the leaves
glossy. 1t closes the pores and attracts
dust and death. Never keep plant in
a glazed pot. These are not porous
and retain the moisture until the roots
OF the plants are chilled. Always re-
move yellow dead leaves, as they sap
the strength Of the plant. Perhaps
your plant needs reporting. This
should be done at least once year.
Get pot one size larger. Brown spots
on the leaves are caused by lack of
hsht and air or by parasites. The
worst insect enemy of the rubber plant
Is the mealy bug or scale. Upon its
HIST appearance it Is white. Later it
turns brown. The best way to remove
1t IS to rub it off with a little
whale Oil soap. Dissolve two inch
square OF the soap in n pint of boiling
water. Let it stand over night. The
next day wash every leaf and stem of
Tue plant with sponge or cloth dipped
III ms soap liquid. Give the sick rub
per plant dose of limewater, which
good tonic and also remove worms
and insects from the soil.

ADVICE ON WRINKLES.
How 10 Danish TelItale Signs Of Age
and Worry.

III trent n wrinkle as it should be
trsoted requires finesse and diplomacy.
you must handle it as though it were
n crinkled piece Of tissue paper and
ron must keep it supplied with food,
and vou must pamper it as YOU would
manner an infant. Taking it for grant
cd that you have discovered tn. kind
Of cold cream which your skin needs.
rou must now take and feed this cream
tn the wrinkle. You must steam a
wrinkle. open its pores and while they
are receptive give them enough cold
cream to restore them to plumpness,
saws the Chicago Record Herald,
"My wrinkles have returned,' wrote
q duchess to q beauty doctor. Il paid
YOU a fabulous sum for taking them
ont of nv face, and now they are back
again." 10 this the doctor replied: Il
guaranteed that l would take out your
wrinkles not that | would keep them
out. Wrinkles must be taken out ev-
ery day. You must remove them as
yor remove soil from your gown or
spots from your hands. Wrinkles come
in a day and must be banished every
night or every time they return, if it
Is twice day."
TO take out your wrinkles steam
your skin. Now, steaming the face in
the hands of an amateur is extremely
difficult. The tendency is to burn the
face. Don't try a regular steamer.
Take pan of water and keep it warm
over fame and then apply hot cloths
70 the face. Keep on until your skin
feels tender, but never until it is sore.
Now Is the time to apply cold cream,
which should be very soft. The best
wrinkle cream Is Of the consistency of
Che cream Of milk, and it can be
spread on the face very quickly. If
your cream Is too thick, heat it slight
" and thin it with the oil of sweet
almonds. 1t should be soft to the fin
ger tips. Then let it cool and apply
It to the skin. Never try to apply
skin lotion when it is cold. 1t should
always be slightly heated. Set the jar
In q basin of hot water, and when it Is
warm 1t will be ready to put on the
face. And another rule: Always battle
the face with hot water first.
