Coffee stains, even when there is
cream in the coffee. can be removed
from the most delicate silk or wooden
fabrics by brushing the spots with
pure glycerine. Rinse in lukewarm
water and press OF the wrong side

Lace window curtains should always

to which a little borax has been added
before being put into warm suds. This
gets out the smoky smell that is some

DISTRESSED.
Peroxide of hydrogen is very bene-
fetal for removing stains, but 1t must
be used In moderation. If used too
freely it will make the nails brittle and
they will soon begin to break. A good
remedy is to use powdered pumice
stone on the stains, and still another
is to rub them with lemon juice.
Neither of these will AVE any Ill effect
