Novel Flower Pot,

Many people find it difficult to OBJ.
tain flower pots large enough for
large palms in drawing-room and
hall; but pretty and useful pot may
be contrived easily if a large lard

Where the handle, which is, of course
removed, was inserted, two brass
knobs may be put, and the pot will

Curtain Hints.

For the clear pane of glass set in
nearly every front door nothing is so
satisfactory as Brussels net decorat
ed with some sort of lace. Arabian
and Renaissance lace are the most
effective, and the conventional de.
sign is spaced exactly in the centre
of the net. Filet work is easy for
home manufacture, being nothing
nothing more or less than the darned
net in imitation of the popular Italian
method. A fiat lace braid laid over
a hem is the most satisfactory way
of finishing edges. These door cur,
tains must be stretched quite fiat to
have the design look well, and the
tiniest of tacks are generously used
for holding them in place. With door
decorations, especially, one color
should be adhered to; if ecru, use
ecru braid for the lace; if white, the
clear white.-New Haven Register.

The best way to clean bed feathers
is to put them into bowl of hot
soapsuds, shaking them we'll all the
time they are in the water. Then
rinse them thoroughly and wiring
them in cloth, so as to extract all
the moisture possible. Spread them
out on clean sheet in a warm room
and leave them there to dry all night,
Then place them on another sheet
and beat them we'll with stick. This
is disagreeable process, and a veil
should be tied over the face and head
to prevent the fluff from getting into
the hair and eyes.-Pittsburg Press.
