To Wash Hair Brushes.

Draw enough warm water in the
washbowl to cover the bristles, but
not the back of the hair brush, add
three or four tablespoonfuls Of am
monia (household. not bath ammonia),
shake and swish the brushes around
in the water, then rinse in similar
mixture. lastly rinsing again in hot
water, then stand the brushes in the
sun by an open window, bristles down,
on a towel, to dry. Whisk brooms,

other kind, may be cleansed in the

EXCELLENT TABLEAU FOR THE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.

We are enjoying much deserved
revival of charades and tableaux ana
soon, | trust, the regular Christmas
pantomime of Dickens time VIII be
ours, as well as our cousins across
the water. Nothing is prettier for this
season than the poem OF Thomas
Haynes Bayly called the "Mistletoe

with the tableaux, which may be ar
ranged to be given for an admission
fee or just for fun. stage Is re-
quired with the usual decorations or
holly and Christmas greens and IS
supposed to represent the banquet
hall forming the setting for the first
act.
The baron's retainers were blithe and
gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday.
A minuet is danced to music, the
bride. in wedding dress and veil, and
the bridegroom being the principal
figures.
1.-THE second scene presents the
same setting as the first. The bride,
leaving the assembly, runs away.
Il am weary of dancing now" she
cried;
Here tarry a moment-Ill hide
I'll hide"
III.-A brief scene follows, not
given in the poem, but necessary to
fill out its story. There is a dark
ened attic, full of old boxes, furniture,
spinning wheels, and the like; in the
middle a large chest. The bride
comes softly in with a lighted candle
in her hand. She tries various hid
ing places and finally opens the chest,
steps slowly in, blows out the candle
and gradually lets down the lid upon
her self.
IV.-The fourth scene is the ban
quet hall as before. While the music,
which continues throughout the whole
production, plays quietly, the guests
pass in and out, consulting in pan
tomime and expressing their inabil-
ity to find the missing bride.
YIN the next act the bridegroom
appears as an old man, surrounded
with children who watch him and
seem to say in the words of the
poem.
See! the old man weeps for his fairy
bride.
VI.-The last act shows the attic
again. A group OF young people, in
comparatively modern dress, are
searching through the attic, pulling
out old-fashioned bonnets and hats,
old gowns and books, and laughing at
their quaint appearance. One of the
young men finally raises the lid of
the chest, and while the others start
in terror he lifts out skull, its lines
partially concealed by the ragged
remnants of lace wedding veil.
This poem is we'll known and may
be found in any cyclopedia of English
literature.
