two or three previous occasions has

year the same things with practically

Care of SilverWare.

Shining silver upon snowy linen is
beautiful, but it takes trouble to keep
it in good condition. The furnishing
OF silver does not by any means in
dicate that it is of poor quality; on
the contrary the finer the silver the
more quickly it becomes discolored.
Silver kept in a room with open
gas burners or coal stoves keeps its
brllliancy for a short time only Tar
n1shing can be prevented by having
the pieces lacquered, but the lacquer,
though serviceable for ornamental
pieces, toilet articles, ETC. cannot be
used on the table service The lac
quered ware can be kept in excellent
condition simply by busting it light
ly and carefully, and about once a
month wiping it with a slightly dam
pened soft cloth. Never allow these
pieces to become wet.
Hollow ware which has no been
lacquered and is not in constant use
should be carefully wrapped in fan
mel and then in soft wrapping paper
er secure from acids and gases. The
HAT ware that is to be put away
should be placed in rolls made of
straight pieces of heavy canton han-
mel with individual pockets sewed in
for each knife. fork, etc. The whole
should be rolled UP together and soft
wrapping paper placed around the
outside. Silver kept in this way will
after washing be ready for immediate
use.
The silver that is used daily can
be kept in excellent condition by
washing thoroughly in soft warm
water and soap every day. All such
silver should be washed well every
second week. In doing this be care
full not to put several pieces in the
pan together, for this causes dents
and scratches.
Rain water or water that has been
boiled is the best to use Make
heavy suds with a pure soap and add
few tablespoonfuls OF ammonia +
soft sponge is most suitable for wash
ing silver. and fine brush may be
employed on the chased pieces or
around the handles
After washing the silver well in the
ammonia suds rinse in clear cold wa
ter and let it stand for a few min
utes If any polishing is necessary
it can be done at this time. Common
whiting wet with alcohol and ruh-
bed en- with a soft flannel, makes an
excellent polish. After polishing
wash well again.
Finally dip all the pieces in bath
of boiling hot water and dry with
very soft cloth. This last dip in the
clear boiling water does much to
prevent future oxidation.

That was the beginning,
She went, and as a necessity the
laundering process took some time,
ana the pretty girl behind the suds,
the shampoo, the hot box or what you
will, spoke in gentle tones of the alb

locks done up according to the
latest manner of hairdressing, and
looking at the pretty young girl the
patient acceded to the request that
she look at a transformation.

the curling iron thrust through her
locks at regular intervals she unused
over the mutability of human affairs
