How to-Wash Fine Blankets.

Many good housewives do not care to
risk the laundering OF their fine wool
on blankets to their servants, and n
word might help at this season from
n good housewife, who always takes
this task upon herself. She first shaves
n half bar of yellow soap and pours
this Into pint of boiling water. She
stirs this until It becomes like n thick
jelly and pours 1t into three buckets
or lukewarm water. Into this she
puts the blankets and washes them
thoroughly. She does not rub soap on
the blankets. She puts them through
n wringer and in another tub of clear.
lukewarm water, then keeps on rlnsIng
In clear lukewarm water until every
particle of soap is removed and hangs
on the line in the hot sun, taking care
to hang them perfectly straight She
leaves them In the sun for several
hours until perfectly dry, then puts
them out the next day IL necessary.

How to Use Gas Safely

In using the gas lamp or stove which
Is attached to the pipe by means of n
tube, follow an invariable rule when
through with the light. Always turn
Off the cock next to the pipe whence
the flow OF gas comes. This will allow
the gas in the connecting tube to be
consumed. Otherwise the tubing might
become loosened, and so If the gas Is
shut off by turning the cock next TO
the lamp or stove aud the other cock
Is left on the pressure of the gas will
be exerted on the tube and leak. pos

tube become dislodged there will he a

just such accidents APPROPRIATIONS have

Processes.

Processes.
Lace mending Is not such a difficult
occupation as many women imagine.
for IL may be accomplished by<ny one
capable OF doing fine needlework who
Is willing 20 devote the necessary time.
And plenty OF time Is needed, for such
task cannot be hurried-in fact. II IL
the time this repairing requires almost
as much rs the skill necessary that
makes the professional menders
charges seem unduly high.
To mend lace, at least the popular
Irish crochet, the amateur should fol.
low these simple processes: Take three
thicknesses OF newspapers, laying a
sheet of blue tissue paper on top, then
basting the four together The lace Is
then laid face downward on tissue pa.
per, which Is put there to protect the
lace from the printers ink. Light
blue Is chosen In preference to white
for the reason that the contrast be-
tween the blue and the lace helps TO
make the mending easier

and just ordinary sewing cotton, work

The filling In should be done when
possible from motif TO motif, even
though the ravage should not extend
for such distance. OF course I'm such
case 1t will be necessary to cut
away threads.
To mend fllet lace another process is
necessary, for this work must be done
ON frame, ana there is nothing bet
ter for this purpose than the ten cent
slate such as school children use. The
slate portion IS OF course removed and
the frame covered with flannel. The
lace is then basted TO it, so the hole
will be In the middle, where It can be
easily sewcd.
