Friederson, of Omaha. Neb, at the Maxwell. Take my wife, for in stance She wanted to get some old lace for a gown, but the price was prohibitve. She was in fit of fem mine despair. when she met a south ern woman to whom she told her troubles From her she received a recipe for making old lace from new, which so far as color is concerned, cannot be told from the priceless heir looms All that is needed is a news paper Strips of newspapers are cut trhe wider than the lace is 10 be tinted. To these the edge of the lace is carefully sewed. A roll of newS2a- pers about the size of an ordinary mailing tube Is then made ,and the lace trimmed newspaper strips are then rolled around this smoothly The whole is then sealed and laid away. In the course of a few months the lace will have acquired the most perfect 'old' color A hundred years couldn' produce any better results than the newspaper properly put on. Mash vile TennesSean.
