relative values of the various weight
tables are compared Is the grain
which for this purpose may be regard
ed as the unit of weight. The pound

PROPER CARE OF FINE LAcEs
Most Careful Handling Necessary e
Preserve Appearance.

Real laces rarely are washed, be-
cause they are almost sure to thicken
slightly, and they require careful han
ding to make them appear like new
When not in use fine laces should be
kept in powdered magnesia, between
folds OF blue tissue paper.
Wash white lace in warm water
with white soap and little ammonia
added. Soak 1t for an hour and then
use fresh water. Do not rub, but
squeeze in soap lather, and thus get
the dirt out.
If yellow put soapy water over the
lace and set in the sun for a day OF
two. When 1t Is clean rinse thorough
ly. II you wish the lace cream color
add strong coffee to the last rinsing
water and II you wish 1t white add
little bluing.
Lay the lace between dry clothes to
