A Perfume Garden.

"A very little space will suffice to raise

term being understood to mean those
plants which in their flower branch or
root furnish a permanent fragrance, In

says Grace Tabor, in Woman's Home
Companion for April
Lavender comes at once to every. one's
mind in this connection, the famed sweet
lavender of ancient linen room and press
being probably the most widely known
OF all these plants, familiar even to those
who have little idea how It grows.
The seed is listed, but IT is better to
buy the plant already started, for seed

lavendula vera is the true sweet lavender;
give it an open, light. rather dry soil
and full sunlight and free air.

three feet high; its blossoms come in

Best of all is a spiritual view, an out

Cleaning Lace.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Pure alcohol can be used with Won
derful success as a means of clean
ing black Spanish or chantilly lace.
The alcohol should be poured into a
clean basin and whipped with the hand
until 1t is frothy. when the lace should
be dipped into It. and well worked about
with the fingers until the dirt is removed.
After gently squeezing out the spirit.
the lace should be laid on a folded cloth
the patterned edge pulled out. each
seallop or pieot being fastened down
with pin. When perfectly dry the lace
should be unpinned and pressed gently
between the palms of the hands until
smooth. in lieu Of ironing it. as this
would fiatten the pattern and spoil the
color.

FROM WOMANS'
POINT OF VIEW

/ II is a dreadful mistake to allow ones
sewing TO get so far ahead that catching
/ up with it is an impossibility. It comes
from careless habit Of laying by a
small task that is disagreeable or a larg-
er one that means planning as well as
working, and one day the mountain
looms ahead and the beholder sits down
1 in despair. Some OF the work IS done, OF
course, but the greater part of it stands
as e monument to bad management and
is more or less a cause Of perpetual anx-
iety.
It requires real courage to carry
through a resolve to take tasks as they
come and perform them conscienuously,
but it is the surest way to peace Of mind
and comfort of body. 1t is not pleasant
/ to think OF a basket OF unmended hosiery
or to discover that the pair one needs
4 for a special occasion is among the
missing. 1t is decidedly comfortable TO
remembeT that the missing button or
dangling bit OF braid was replaced before
frock was hung away and that one
need not stop for repairs and be late TO
meet an engagement
! The larger ones possessions the heavier
ones burdens, so each must decide for
/ herself just what she is willing TO carry.
/ In any event, we do well 10 be firm in
the matter OF discharging small duties,
for there is no way or repairing negll-
gence save by the sacrifice Of a large
/ slice OF the day and a good bit OF pa
thence and strength II Is so easy to put
I by duty till a more convenient moment
and so hard to face it after neglect.
One of my friends is making a vigorous
effort TO break habit OF Sinking, and I
| hope TO live to see the day when she will
have seen the last OF mountain of sew
/ ing which has faced her for years. All
this year she has refrained from adding
to It. and almost every day she has taken
bit away by doing something which
has awaited attention for long time.
She has had to deny herself many an
hour of pleasure and has deliberately cut
down her wardrobe to proportions which
do no require much care.
she declares that she is done forever
/ with the old way Of shutting her eyes TO
accumulation. Time viii tell how much
/ in earnest she really is. At all events,
she is doing sensible thing in trying 10

brought her discomfort all her life. No
well-ordered life has a background Of
