Timely Hints for the Housewife

flat with the hole uppcrmost and cover it with a piece of plain brus- sels net, tack it on and darn with fine flax. When ironed it will scarce ly be noticeable. If the tableclofh is beyond repair. cut squares from the best part of f and hem round. These will answer as serviet'es for every day use.
 Removing Coffee Stains.
 Coffee stains even with cream in it can be removed from the most delicate silk or woolen fabrics by brushing the spots with pure gly- cerine. They should be rinsed in lukewarm water and pressed on the wrong side until quite dry.
 4 Greek Bath.
 If your skin happens to be dry and harsh have you tried the so- called Greek bath? This was a favorite remedy of the anCients and has been revived by modern beauty doctors
 Mix seven tablespoonfuls of pure olive oil and one f lavender water and rub ii well into the entire body Apply little at time and rub in well with the palms of the hand using a circular motion.
 To get the best effects from this bath the body should be kept very warm during the rubbing. If hat cloths are applied first to open the pores more of the oil will be ab- SOrbed.
 Take the baths for three nights in succession. then stop for week and take the series again if neces- sary. The skin quickly improves.
 Household Hints.
 Burn orange peel in shallow pan for several minutes to destroy any warm during the rubbing. If hot The bars of a grate often get red tinge and will not blacken. Paint them with a little lemon juice. let dry, and hlacklead in the usual way.
 To Remove Warts.
 Scrape the warts and touch them with stick of nitrate of silver. It is also said that the crushed leaves of the common bean yield a juice which. squeezed on warts two or three times a day will cause them to dry up and disappear.
