REQUIRE MUCH CARE i POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED IN CLEANING OF LACES. — Delicate Materials Must Be Carefully Handled—Should Be Soaked Before Any Attempt at Washing la Made. Lace should always be soaked before washing, more especially if it is much soiled. In water In which a teaspoon ful of borax has been dissolved The water should be boiling, the usual pro portions being one pint of water to every teaspoonful of borax. Then make a lather with some good soap and wa ter. Take the lace from the water in which it has been soaked, place It in the soapy water, and squeeze It exact ly as if it w ere a sponge till it is clean. This will prevent the lace from being tern, more especially if it is of a fin® make Repeat the process. If necessary, in another basin of soapy water. Then rinse in clean, cold water till all the soap is removed. If the lace Is white a little blue In the rinsing water will improve the color. A very little stiffen ing will prevent ordinary lace from soiling quickly. The water in which rice has been boiled is very suitable 1 for the purpose To dry-clean lace giTe It a dry bath in flour. About a quart of flour should be sifted into a bowl or pan. into which the lace should be dipped, then rubbed and squeezed with the hands as if the flour were water. After it has received a good shaking It will look as fresh and charming as ever. Another method Is to lay the lace out quite evenly on clean white paper, cover it with magnesia, then put an other paper on the top. Leave it in side the leaves of a book for two or three days, when it will look as fresh as when new. After being cleaned. If the lace Is not in use. keep it in blue paper, as this has a preservative Influence over its whiteness. If silk lace is much discolored It should be soaked In hot milk for two or three hours before washing. Honiton lace should not be Ironed. Put it under a weight on clean white paper after being washed. Blotting paper will give the best results. Laces that are embroidered with colors and silk, tinsel, or silver and gold should be spread out smoothly on a clean piece of linen and cleaned carefully with a soft brush, dipped in spirits of-wine. The Fish Course. For the little patties of maitre d ho tel butter served with fish by the chef, ruj two tablespoonfuls of butter to a cream and incorporate little by little two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and a tablespoonful of minced parsley. A teaspeonful of grated nutmeg may be used if it is wanted. Fish salad is appropriately gar oished with olives cut in half, stoned, and the cavity filled with anchovy paste. Creamed salt codfish turned over toast is often appetizing In the spring of the year when everything else fails Slake a rich white sauce, being liberal with the butter, and turn in flaked shredded salt fish that has been washed and boiled up in water once and drained to remove the surplus salt. A Spanish sweet pepper added to the fish improves it for some persons. Haddock is served in the same way. Combination Salad. Celery, cucumbers, tomato, apple, green pepper, radish, young onions, watercress. French dressing. Chop a sufficient quantity of the vegetables to make half a cupful each of celery, cu cumber. tomato and apple, and a tea spoonful each of green pepper, radish and onion. Mix all thoroughly with the French dressing and serve on a bed of water cress. Lettuce may be substituted for the cress if the latter is not obtain able. Macaroni With Tomato bauce. Boil the macaroni in salted water for 2b minutes and remove carefully without breaking. Make the tomato sauce as follows: Chop up very fine half as onion, half a stalk of celery and a bunch ot parsley. Add half a cupful of olive oil. a can of strained tomatoes, salt and cayenne pepper. Stew until very thick, strain and pour over the macaroni. Sprinkle grated cheese over the whoie and serve im mediately. Cake Custard. Make a sweet, boiled custard— about three cupfuls for six persons. While this is hot stir into it half a cozen stale, sponge cakes, broken up small, and two tablespoonfuls of fruit jelly or marmalade. Beat hard and when cold set on the ice for about three hours. When ready to serve, heap on top some whipped cream, and In the center of this put a little of the jelly or marmalade used. Walnut Pudding. Chop 18 walnuts and mix them with 1ounces of bread crumbs: put them into a saucepan with two teacupfuls of milk and boll up: then simmer for ten minutes. Remove from the fire; when cool, stir in yolks of three eggs, one teaspoonful of vanilla extract; mix well. Beat up whites stiffly and stir In. Pour Into greased pudding dish and bake half an hour. Beef and Rice. Two cups of chopped cold beef. Melt a piece of butter size of egg and let It ! almost brown, and then add a small onion sliced thin, and cook until yel low. Add two level tablespoons of I Hour, one cup boiling water, and when smooth and well cooked add the meat Heat and pour It Into a bed of hot boiled rice and serve. A good way to use left over meat. — Putting Away Woolens. When putting furs and woolens away for the summer brush thorough ly. and air them, and sprinkle liberally with ordinary black pepper to pre serve from moths. I have used this in rugs, feathers, furs and woolens for 20 years with excellent success, as did my mother before me. There is no disagreeable odor, and the pepper la always at hand.

Philanthropists Teaches Housewives How to Buy Most Nourishing Foods. How to Cook and Serve Them—What to Avoid. New York.—To the end that school children should not be sent off In the morning with a breakfast of green peppers and coffee, and go home in the middle of the day to feast on crul lers and boiled tea. Miss Wintrred Gibbs originated the “visiting cook" philanthropy. She goes into the tenement houses and teaches the homemakers, whether they be the mothers or little mothers of 12 or 13 years, how to buy the most nourishing foods, how to cook and serve them, what to eat and what to avoid. “I have been at the work three years now." she told a representative of the Evening Telegram, "and in all that time I have been repulsed in only one borne. 1 consider that a remark able record." It is no wonder that Miss Gibbs is welcomed on every side. She is as cheery as can be. and has a warm personal feeling for the people for whom she is working. She has scores of friends in the sections where she has held classes, among mothers who have learned to feed their small babies after they have stopped nursing them and brides whom she has taught to make attractive homes. “Before this movement was started." she explained, “charity breakfasts in the schools were tried and several other methods of getting proper food to school children. None of them, however, tended toward the final bet terment of conditions. We decided that the best thing to do would be to teach the people in their own homes what should be done. “I never teach anything that cannot be done when I am not there with the housewife, only practicable things that will always be useful to know and fol low out. I always take the family In come fs my working basis and work out a dietary that can be followed with ease. 1 teach the homemakers how to buy what I have suggested and how to cook it. “The average midday meal for school children in tenement districts ail over the city." Miss Gibbs con tinued. "is bread and boiled tea. I asked a little Italian child the other day what he had had for breakfast. •Oh. we had peppers and coffee.' he re turned. 'and papa had peppers and beer.* “I frequently, where It Is possible, give lessons to groups of several wom en of a tenement in the kitchen of one of them. When 1 do this, the children are likely to be playing on the floor nearby. One day recently I was going through the hall of a tenement after a lesson, when 1 ran Into a number of little girls playing with their dolls. The doll children were seated at a table and one of the little mothers was laying down the law to the rest in a shrill voice, telling them what was good for the dolls to eat with a manner as nearly like mine as she could make it. So. you see, my work is absorbed in some degree even by the youngest children. “People of the lowest class will not ' understand that it is better to buy ; two eggs for ten cents than a lot of | cheap stuff. They can't comprehend i *"hy quantities of coffee and boiled tea are ruinous to their stomachs." Miss Gibbs believes that the reason ! ; she is so welcome in the tenement ; homes is that she and the poor moth ers have so much in common as she 1 ! presents life to them. "They like me ! | to take it for granted.*' she sagely ! commented, "that they are Interested in the topics of the day Not sociology | or comets or anything so deep as that but. for instance, this boycotting of | meat all over the country. I get as much from them as they do from me. | for we are all a part of the same prob lem and working for the same end— the betterment of the human race. “Same day I hope the city will be divided into many sections, each under a capable teacher, so that there will be no homes where the regular dinner, prepared by a twelve-year-old girl, is pancakes and tea. as 1 found condi tions in a home recently Interest in this visiting cook philanthropy is wide spread. A similar movement is being started now in Providence and when I was In Baltimore a few days ago I found that the people with charitable inclinations there were planning work along the same lines as mine." UNIQUE WAY OF KISSING GIRL Philadelphia Man Arrested on Com plaint of His Neighbor, Who Watches Servant. Philadelphia.—That he might kiss the pretty servant girl next door through a hole in the party wall. John Kysel of Eleventh and Pine streets. Camden, mutilated the property, and was held in $200 bail by Justice Bud ney. The testimony tended to show that Kysel is not on good terms with the family of Felix Rudsin. his neighbor, whose servant he admired. As a re sult the servant was watched too closely for Kysel to meet her surrep titiously. There seemed only one thing to do. and Kysel did it. He used a brace and bit in the wooden partition in the rear kitchen, and for doing this Rudsin had him arrested. Kysel admitted he kissed the girl through the hole in the wall, and that almost every day they passed notes to each other. Rudsin caught the girl with her Ups to the hole. N’ot until she moved away and he saw the hole did he understand the situation. He then swore out the warrant. - r r hi .r n r .n_i 1 How Error Makes Trouble Transformation of Word “Farm" Into ' “France" Leads to Lawsuit Over Small Bey.

New York.—“Here’s the last quarter I've got in the world. Give me some oysters, and go as far as you like." was the combination of announcement and request with which John Olson, a sailor employed on the Scandinavian American line, greeted William Gau. proprietor of a market in Hoboken, as he entered that establishment a few days ago. 1 Mr. Gan proceeded to open oysters The sailor looked hungry, so he made haste. As the third oyster was pried apart ' F Mr. Gau uttered an exclamation. There was a big pearL “Well. that's the best luck I've had in a long time." he ob served. “Isn't It a beauty?" "Wait a minute," piped up Olson "Didn't I buy the oysters and didn't you take the money? My oyster, my pearl. Hand 'er over." The oysterman protested, hut the j sailor argued so convincingly that Mr i Gau finally acquiesced. They jour neyed at once to a jeweler, who ap praised the Jewel at S?00 and threw in an exclamation of admiration upon its white color for good measure.

London —The yellow-feathered ca nary. with Its shrill voice, will soon be a bird of the past The bird of the future must have the voice of a night ingale. Breeders have also evolved a black coated breed, in place of the familiar yellow bird. Charles Baehl. large exhibitor at Sydenham, gave an Interesting ac count of the efforts made to Induce mnrlet to sing. “U is the sudden discovery that the lowest note on the water-organ (the instrument in general use for training the voices of singing birds) bears n remarkable resemblance to the melt ing liquids of the nightingale.” he ex plained. “that has caused the flutter.” “Canaries could be induced to copy the other notes of the organ readily enough, be continued, “hut it was al ways difficult to teach them this last one. "From Germany I import every year about half a dozen bullfinches that *pipe' one definite air. “They are taught by mouth by the grandchildren of an old German fan cier. "By a pleasing anomaly, two birds have Just arrived whose only accom plishments in life are to pipe 'Rule.

London.—During the hearing of a case in one of the London children's courts an official stated that the re formatories were full at the present time. He explained that this was 1 not due to an increase in the volume of Juvenile crime, but to a growing tendency on the part of parents to free themselves from their responsi bilities with respect to the care of their children. A well-known police court mission ary took a similar view and said there Is no doubt many parents use the re formatories to shirk responsibility. They bring their children to court on the slightest pretext and seek to have them sent to a reformatory. When a boy Is sent to a reformatory his par ents are made to contribute so much a week toward hls maintenance, but the amount Is often considerably less than the cost of keeping him at home. That fact, he concluded. Induces an unscrupulous parent to make a charge of petty theft against a child, to de clare that the little one is beyond con trol and to ask that the offender be detained In a reformatory. Parts.—Dr. Rosenthal has commu nicated to the Academy of Medicine the details of experiments with a new serum for rheumatic fever. He say* that it has been very successful, espe cially In preventing subsequent affec tion of the heart. THROUGH THE REAOING GLASS. First and Second Bug—What a hor rible monster! AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING "Just about two years ago. some form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was a slight itching but It grew steadily worse until, when ! combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would be wet with biocd. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, in a painful, burning way. very much as a had. raw burn, if deep, will Itch and smart when first beginning to heaL Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tan gled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake. I would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips you id be bloody. I could not sleep well and. after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain —would commence and then 1 would wake up nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor said it must be salt rheum. Having used Cuticura Soap merely as a toilet soap before. 1 now decided to order a set of the Cuticura Remedies —Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks, then left off. as the disease seemed to be eradi cated. but toward spring, eighteen months ago. there was a slight re turn of the scalp humor. 1 com menced the Cuticura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Cuticura Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment in alL The first time I took six or seven bottles of Cu ticura Pills and the last time three bottles—neither an expensive or te dious treatment. Since then I have had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up. with my hair unbound, it comes to my knees and had It not been for Cuticura I should doubtless be wholly bald.
