NEED PROPER SETTING

PIECES OF CHINA.

Color Scheme In Its Entirety
How Woman Evolved Really
Clever Idea.

China and artistic pieces of pottery
Is a source Of 80 much interest and
real enjoyment that their care and ar
rangement are a 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 a single decoration
The construction of the plate rack
should conform to the general style of
the room, and the articles placed upon
It should be of one color, or consist of
ia collection of pieces which will not
give to the room the general air of q
icurio 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 ap-
pearance to windows. The paper was
cut into many beautiful patterns an6
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 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 a 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 tho
work a tax. To prevent fine china
plates breaking, put thickness Of
biotttng 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. Worn
a small particle into the worn place
set it aside for several days and food
can be cooked in the vessel without
danger of a putty taste. A good
cement for broken china is made by
stirring plaster Of paris into a thick
solution of gum arabic until 1t becomes

through the town to the place to which
the Sundanese wanted to go.

Lord Kitchener was seen towering
about the British agency. At last a,

There are no "werlin" cries. News

Therefore. Berlin, whose streets
