Was there ever child that did not

can be picked off, and the seams care
fully scraped to remove any excess of
white lead. The old way was to tie
the mended article together before
putting it away TO dry, but this is not
easy to do.
If the above directions are care
fully followed, fairly permanent
cement is obtained, and the dish may
be considered once more as a useful
member of cupboard society.
Riveting Requires Skill.
Professional china members use
rivets of silver or copper wire in ad-
dition to a cementing process. This
riveting requires special equipment
and special skill and is beyond the
average housekeeper. Nevertheless, 1t
is well for her To know that such
work can be done if the dish is valu-
able and worth putting into the hands
of a skilled workman. An expert in
this business can often supply mis-
sing pieces. with the design restored
if need be. and glazed to appear
practically the same as the original.
The home worker can supply mis-
sing pieces With Ialr success IL IleE
are not too large. For this, plasterof-
paris is worked up with good quality
of liquid glue or other kinds of liquid
cement until the mass is as stiff as
putty. Work some of the material into
the space to be filled, mold into place.
and rub with a wet finger tip until
smooth The material used acts as its
own cement.
When the plaster-of-paris piece is
perfectly dry, it may be tinted with
artists oil paints to look like the rest
of the dish, and with little care any
interrupted design may be continued
or replaced over such painting as
this, when it ha; thoroughly dried, 1t
is well TO apply coat of light-colored
waterproof varnish or enamel.

Among the household crafts which
are well worth developing is the art
of repairing china. In other words, if
you are unfortunate enough to break
your favorite pitcher or one of great
grandmother's plates, don't fail to pick
up the pieces, for the office of home
economics of the United States De
partment of Agriculture has found out
how you may put them together again.
Obviously the first difficulty is TO
get a cement which will be permanent
enough to stand washing and reason
ably careful handling and which will
not be affected by climatic conditions.
The Department of Agriculture, after
comparative tests recommends what
is known as 'grandmother's white
lead" process.
cementing Material.
The cementing material in this case
is white lead such as is used by
artists working with oil paints. 1t may
be rubbed with the finger on the raw
edges of the dish and the piece which
Is to be cemented into place. but be-
fore the white lead cement is applied
it is well to rub down the edges
very little with emery paper to make
room for the thin layer of white lead,
so that the dish when completed will
not be distorted in shape. Care should
be taken not to use too much white
lead.
Melted sealing wax is dropped here
a ,~f% t..
hold the piece firmly in place so that
it will not slip out of place. If the
dish is broken in several pieces, one
piece after another can be added in
the same way. The dish should then
be set away and left for eighteen
months or two years to give the white
lead time to harden thoroughly. At
the end of that time the sealing wax
