How to Launder
BObbinet Curtains

1t should not be difficult to launder bob.
! binet curtains satisfactorily. 1 take il
that they are the simple kind with ruffle
edged with lace, and connected to the cur
| tains with rows of lace insertion.
To wash, first shake the curtains free
from dust and lay in cold water for ten
minutes. Meantime prepare a bath of hot
soapsuds and after wringinG the curtains
from the cold water place them in the
suds. The cold water will be dirty yell
lowish brown. BY abstractlng soil from
the curtains before placing in the suds
time and trouble are saved, because less
rubbing and fewer baths will be necessary
for thorough cleansing.
The Crime will respond to cold water,
while hot y IL set the soil, SO be care
1ul.
Squeeze the curtains up and down in the
baths and when clean wiring and rinse
through first warm and then cold water.
If the curtains are white pass through
slightly blued water.
If cream, tint the water with tea until
the desired shade is obtained
The starching is next. Hot water starch
should be used. To make it mix raw
starch with cold water and pour on boil
| ing water until of the right consistency.
| Add teaspoonful of borax or small
| lump of lard. to prevent sticking, and Sc
| make the ironing easier.
When taken from the starch the cur
tains should be shak1n free from tiny
particles of starch and hung to dry.
| When thoroughly dry they should be
freely sprinkled and rolled: tightly
| Next morning they will be ready fol
ironing. Unroll, and get some person te

any degree of swiftness in winter will
keep a room chilly, and as cold dries the
skin and gives it a leathery look, this
must be avoided.
In my opinion thick white wells made
of Iceland wool are boons for the COM
plexion. although 1 think they are highly
injurious to the eyes. But the warmth
the veil creates near the face prevents
action of the wind and 1 think a woman
who wears one during the season will
have prettier skin at the end CT the Win
ter than she who scorns such warmth.
One woman who does not wish to use
much cold cream on her face tried this
treatment:
On coming indoors having been long in
the cold. she rubs cream in the palms of
both hands, and then washes her face
with the grease as though. 1t were water.
This takes perhaps three minutes, during
which time her face and throat are thor
oughly covered.
Then the grease is washed off in warm
water. and the finish given by wiping
with rose water, which acts as an astrin-
gent.
Certainly the routine agrees with her,
for her skin is beautiful.

Becoming CoIors.

The hair of the blonde is a mixture of
red. yellow and brown. AS a rule the skin
is lighter, that is. it contains not SO much
orange and the tinges of red are lighter
Nature therefore very properly made
the blondes eyes blue, since the blue is
complementary to the orange of red hair
The brunettes skin on the other hand
has more orange i'm 1t. and hence a color
favorable to one would not be becoming
TO the other
What would be the effect of green upon
n complexion deficient in red? 1t would
certainly heighten tho rose tints i'm the
cheeks, but the greatest care should be
exercised in the selection of the proper
shade of green, because the brunette S
complexion contains great deal of
orange, and the green, acting under the
red of orange, could readily produce IA
brick dust appearance.
Green. therefore, is a risky color for
tho brunette. and SO is violet which would
neutraiiZc the yellow OF the orange and
heigafcD the rcd. But il the orange com
plexion had more yellow than red then
the association of violet would produce
pallor. Yellow. OF course, is her color,
since its Complementary violet neutralizes
the yellow of the orange complexion and

a clear, healthy complexion is an i'm
possibility for a woman who stays much
indoors in winter, and I wish l could
make my readers understand that the
pores. as much as the lungs, need fresh
air, and failure to give it will simply
make them larger in their effort to
breathe. The fact Of living in illy-ven-
tilated rooms is frequently the cause of
large pores in the face.
1t stands to reason that for most per-
sons it is impossible to be out as much
in winter as in summer, SO dizziness Of
complexion in consequence can be OBJ
waited only by having air within doors
fresh.
Fresh air not only must be coming in
all the time, but there must be cgress
provided for that which is stale. A
hygienically aired room has a window
open a few inches at both top and bot
tom. That is, one sash is open at the
top. the other sash is raised from the
bottom. This does not mean a sweeping
gale. Instead. there is to he only space
enough to allow the air to change con-

GOOD THINGS FROM APPLES
Apple Pandowdy.

Among the old-time dishes that bear
revival by the economical housewife is
the pandowdy of our grandmothers. To
make it, line the sides and bottom Of a
deep baking dish that has been we'll but
tered, with thin slices of buttered bread,
letting them take the place Of the usual
pastry lining. Fill with thick layer of
tart apples. sliced thin, sprinkle with nut
meg and cinnamon and turn over the
whole cupful of maple strip or brown
sugar dissolved in half its amount OF
hot water. Cover the top with another
LAYER of slices of buttered bread. buttered
side down, cover the dish with plate
and bake slowly for an hour and half
in a moderate oven. 1t should be served
hot, inverted on a platter, with good

Citron- Recipes.
Citron Preserves.

There are number of different ways OF
preserving citron. two OF which 1 quote:
Prepare the fruit by peeling off the
green rind, cut into halves and remove
the soft part. Then cut into strips, dia-
monds or any fancy shape desired. Weigh
the fruit. and to six pounds allow the
same weight of sugar, five small lemons
and four ounces ginger root. Tie the GIN
ger in sloth and boil in a quart or
water until it's flavor is extracted.
Remove and add the water, the sugar
and juice of the lemons. Stir until the
sugar is dissolved; cook until the sirup
is clear, skimming carefully. then add
citron and simmer until clear. but not
soft enough to break apart; can.
Citron Preserved With Raisins.
Personally I prefer citron preserved
with raisins after this fashion. 1t is par
ticu'arly nice to serve with ice cream
and blanc mango
To six pounds of the prepared fruit al
low five pounds sugar, three pints OF
water, a generous quarter pound ginger
root, four lemons sliced thin and pound
large raisins that have been seeded Clean
the ginger root and put in the preserving
Kettle with one quart water and cftrOn.
Cover and put on the back of the stove.
where the contents will simply steam and
simmer for an hour and half.
Meantime make strip by putting a
pint boiling water with the sugar. Re-
move the ginger root from the kettle and
turn in the hot sirup. Cook half an hour
longer, then take out the citron and
spread on a platter, letting it stand in the
sun or in the warming oven.
Add to the strip the stoned raisns and
lemons, cook until a thick strip. return
the citron to the sirup. cook ten min
utes longer, then pack into cans and seal.

Apple Slump.

Apple slump is another old-fashloned
dish. but none the less acceptable on
account of it's antiquity. Pare, core and
quarter dozen tart. juicy apples, turn
over them a cupful of boiling water and
set where they will begin to cook. Five
minutes later add to, the apples two cup
f,ls of molasses and cook five or more
minutes, while you prepare very soft
biscuit dough, using for a pint of flour a
teaspoonful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, a half tablespoonful
of shortening and milk to stir to a Dough
that is too soft to roll. Put this over
the apples, which should be tender, but
not broken. cover the kettle closely and
cook twenty-five minutes without lifting
the cover Serve with a hot sauce. made
by beating to cream half cup or nut-
ter and one cup of sugar, stirring in just
before using a Scant cupful of boiling
milk or water, and season to taste.

All the players but one must stand in q circle. but not with hands joined. Their hands must be heId behind their backs ~ith tine palms turhed outward. and they must all keep their eyes on the ground. If any one looks up he or she must pay forfeit. The one left out takes a handkerchief and dances lightly around the circle and slips the handkerchief into any ones hand she chooses No one will know 10 whom 1t is given. for ali eyes are looking at the floor Then suddenly the one to whom the handkerehief Is given will whisk II up at one of the others. The person touched will be surprised of course. but she must dart off instantly. for the one outside Is on the watch and will strive To catch her.

The superior skill in the iron shop has secured the patro- mage of the owners of large rug fac tory in Oorfa, who had been obliged to send to Aleppo, five days distant, to get their machinery repaired. One boy has recently returned from Marash where he spent year studying in an American agricultural college. Now, with a pair of good work horses, he says he is "busy turning up the soil that never saw the sun before.n The boys were very proud that the contract for furnishings of new hospital, built by the provincial governor, was given to them.

 Spoons-A Game.

This game is d variety of the old time favorite. blind mans buff" The players form a circle. One stands in the center. blindfolded. with his hands extended before him. holding a spoon in each hand. The other players march round him. clapping their hands in time to tune that may be sung or played on the piano in marching time. When the blind man calls out Spoons" the others stop. and he finds his way to any player he can reach and tries to ind out who he or she is by touching with the spoons only. He may use them as he likes. but 1t is usually only lucky guess if he is right. If wrong he must try again aud continue blind till he finds sue eessor by means of the spoons. The one rightly guessed is then blindfoided and takes his place.
