NEED PROPER SETTING
ARRANGEMENT OF ARTISTIC
PIECES OF CHINA.
important Point ls Preservation Of
Color Scheme In Its Entirety.
How Woman Evolved Really
Clever Idea.

China and artistic pieces of pottery
are so inexpensive and their collection
Is source of so much interest and
real enjoyment that their care and ar
rangement are matter of more than
passing interest in the home. Good
china or pottery limitations require a
suitable setting for best effects. Valu-
able specimens should be single or
placed In groups. Mugs and plates
on the plate rail should be separated,
each collection as single decoration.
The construction of the plate rack
should conform to the general style Of
the room, and the articles placed upon
1t should be of one color, or consist Of
a collection of pieces which will not
give to the room the general air Of q
curio shop.
one woman DESTROYS of having
dainty plates upon her plate rack. but
who was unable to get the kind she
wished, made several of oriental de-
sign by cutting patterns from a paper
that is used to give stained glass APP
pearance to windows. The paper was
cut into many beautiful patterns and
pasted around the edge and across the
center OF inexpensive china plates, but
In perfect harmony with the color
scheme of her dining room.
The washing Of valuable china needs
to be carried out very cautiously and
carefully. A big wooden bowl, filled
with warm soapsuds, to which a few
drops OF household ammonia have
been added, should be prepared, and
each piece of china washed separately
in this, using square of old flannel
for plain pieces and soft brush for
deliberately ornamental articles. Rinse
in another wooden bowl of clear, warm
water and dry with linen cloths. Wash
the pretty, new table china yourself
In the dining room. Have pan of hot
water, some soap, mop and towels
In the dining room after the meal Is
over, and there wash the china. Put
them in their places Immediately
afterward and you will not find the
work a tax. To prevent fine china
plates breaking, put a thickness of
plotting paper between them. This
may be bought in large sheets and cut
into rounds which are large enough to
prevent one plate from marring the
decoration OF another.
Porcelain ware can be mended with
ordinary putty mixed with OIL Work
small particle into the worn place,
set it aside for several days and food
can be cooked in the vessel without
danger of putty taste. A good
cement for broken china is made by
stirring plaster Of parts into thick
solution of gum arabic until it becomes
a viscous paste.

Rub Milk Into ollcIoth.

To ruin oilcloth clean it with hot
water or soapsuds, and leave it half
wiped, and it will look very bright
while wet, but very dingy and dirty
when dry, and will soon crack and
peel off But if you wish to preserve
1t, and have it look new and nice, wash
it with soft flannel and lukewarm
water, and wipe perfectly dry If you
want the oilcloth to look extra nice.
after it is dry, drop few spoonfuls of
milk over 1t and rub with dry cloth.

In Euade Dust.

When sweeping carpet many women
are annoyed by dust from sweeping.
Why not try this method? Buy a
sponge large enough to cover mouth
and nostrils. Snip off bits from the in
side until hollow is formed to fit the
face. Tie to each side tapes long
enough to fasten behind the head.
Now, when you are ready to sweep,
wet the sponge, wringing it nearly
dry, and tie it in place. This win also
be found an excellent idea when clean
ing the range.
