CLEAN REAL LACE.

If you have slowed away in some precious box a bit of real lace which belonged to mother or grandmother, get 1t out and use it. Before you use it, you will have to clean it, of course. The Polish way of cleaning lace is so excellent that you would do well to use it.
 Spread the lace upon a piece of white paper. Cover with calcined magnesia. Place a piece of white pa per on top and then place between the leaves of a large book and allow it to remain there for four days. At the end of that time you will find upon taking it out and gently shak- ing the lace that it's original fresh ness and color has been completely restored.

 The other side of the skirt is really only an overskirt, pure and simple, but as it works itself round to the sash side it becomes a puff, and a bouffant one at that. Over it falls the sash of seIf-materia1, and the effect is quaintIy suggestive of other days.
