Plaster figures in hard or alabaster
finish are easily cleaned by dipping a
stiff toothbrush in gasoline and scrub
bling into all the crevices.
If you have black gown that needs
freshening, cleanse it thoroughly with
clear black coffee diluted with water
and containing little ammonia.
After the weekly washing rub lit
tie vinegar and spirits of camphor
over the hands. This will keep the
hands in good condition summer and
winter.
Garments that are to be hung out
to air can be put on hangers rather
than pinned to the line. This prevents
sagging or marking with the clothes
pins.
Never rinse lace in blue water with
the idea of improving its color. Real
lace should be finally rinsed in clear
soft water, or, better still. in skim
milk. which will give 1t a soft, creamy
color.
Bric-a-brac containing mother-of-
pearl should never be cleaned with
soap and water. Instead, 1t should
be rubbed with a cloth dipped into
whiting and water.

BroiIed Breast of Lamb.

This is a very delicious dish. but
the broiling must be done carefully
The fire should not be too bright or
the meat will soon scorch. Lay the
inside of the meat toward the fire
first and broil very moderately. turn
ing the meat often. When done, but
ter slightly and season with salt and
pepper The breast of lamb is sold
in most markets with the fore leg at
tached; this should be cut off before
the piece is broiled. for, being so thick
in comparison with the rest of the
piece. it is difficult to cook it suf-
ficiently.

a saucepan. and in 1t place one sliced
carrot, then add one sliced turnip,
three potatoes sliced, also one chopped

tie water.
When the water reaches boiling
point add. two teaspoonfuls of curry
powder and a tablespoonful of flour
already moistened with cold water.

and allow it to simmer gently till the
vegetables are perfectly tender. When
green peas are in season they may be

granulated sugar, one cup New Or

one tablespoon vinegar. very small
piece butter. Boil until little dropped

spoon of baking soda and while foam

- n SPITE of all that is said about
the fckleness of fashion, there
are some hats that are always in
style. Year after year, indeed,
decade after decade. sees little
change in them. either in shape
or size. and none in texture.
There is that most beautiful
of hats, ''the Panama." which for gen
erations was made in about one shape
for men and women. 1t is only within
the last three years that the heavy
buyers have been able to persuade
the native makers to vary their model
and produce a little variety in shape.
This a doubtful advantage, for the
trimmer takes the good, old forms and
cleverly modifies them to the changing
ideas of the passing season.
Besides the Panama there is the
beautiful Leghorn fiat" 1t has been
produced for generations. With soft,
flowing lines and a crown of normal
size, and woven so fine that its body
is as flexible as cloth, 1t is altogether
so excellent that there is no use in
looking for anything to excel it in
simple beauty. The Leghorn is now
blocked by the manufacturers into all
sorts of shapes, but the fiat brim and
medium-sized crown lose nothing by
comparison with newer forms. The
clever trimmer takes the Leghorn fiat

and manipulates 1t at will, changing
its outlines to suit the vagaries of her
patrons fancy, or her own. But she
will never improve upon the lovely
lines of the original shape. The day
will not dawn within our time, when
this beautiful hat will be out of style.
The same hat has its outlines rem
dered little rigid and its underbrim
faced with a demi-facing of black vel
vet A wreath of big, full-blown roses
and foliage adorn it. 1t simply, spells
the summer girl. 1t is associated in
our minds with girlhood, and season
after season appeals to us with undi.
minished charm.
Besides the Leghorn there are the
Milan braids and the beautiful dia-
phanous Neapolitans. all made in the
fiat shape with trifiing variations in
the shape of the crown from season
to season. The Milan has more body.
that is, 1t is heavier in texture than
the others and is therefore mor9~used
for general utility. Such a hat is
shown with a mass of chrysanthe-
NUNS about the crown and wing at
the side.
The initial expense of fine hat in
either of these weaves is money well
spent. They are things of beauty and
even capricious Fashion seems to re-
gard them as joys forever.
