M. M. Table linen may be hem
stitched, or have a more elaborate
border in drawn-work, as preferred.
The hemstitching is usually em
ployed on the commoner quality of
material, while the drawn-work is
for fine damask.
Sadie M. Little turn-over collars
done in drawn work, or other fancy
stitching are easily made and never
"go out of style" for some sort of
wear. The popularity of crocheting,
knitting and fancy stitching may ebb
and flow, but it never really runs
out.
I. L. Household ammonia sells
at from eight to ren cents a quart in
department or grocery stores, and
directions for use in laundry and
cleaning are usually on the label.
For washing clothes, a tablespoonful
to a pail of water (two or three gal
lons) are the proportions.
For Renovating Old Furniture
Answering several inquiries: Shel
lac varnish is an excellent "healer"
for ailing furniture. To make it for
family use, get half or one pound
of gum shellac and put into a wide
moiith jar or other vessel; cover the
gum with best grain alcohol, put a
lid on the vessel and let stand in a
quite warm place until the gum Is
dissolved. A glass fruit jar or wide
mouthed bottle having a close cover
is good. When the gum is dissolved
if the varnish -is too thick, thin with
more alcohol, until it will flow easily
and smoothly. In using the varnish,
if spots or scratches are to be re
moved, before it gets quite dry rub it
well with at woolen cloth dipped in
sweet oil. Remove all oil that will
not rub in.
Wax. varrflsh, for furniture is made
by dissolving three ounces of wax in
one quart ot turpentine; dissolve by
gentle heat? which is safest done by
setting the vessel containing the tur
pentine and wax in a vessel contain
ing very hot water. Do not try to
heat on a stove or range, as it is
very inflammable. Apply to the fur
niture, a very little at a time with a
woolen cloth, rubbing it well in be
fore beginning another place. Just
the least amount at a' time should
be taken up on the cloth, and the
rubbing must bo vigorous.
Scraps and Remnants
The thoughtful woman will save
all the left-o.vers of lace, linen, lawn,
pique, ribbons, silks and velvets, for
if one Has plenty of these, there
should be ho dearth of collars, cuffs
and other accessories for the toilet.

skill, these odds and ends are worth
many dollars, for such things as can
be made from them would bo very
expensive. For every-day wear, sets
of butchers' linen, brown linen,
madras, and lawns can bo beauti
fully trimmed with the bits of lace,
embroidery, motifs, ribbon, or silks
fagotted together or set on in any
way desired. Silk-flnished cotton
thread is nice for fagotting and
cross-stitching these paTts together.
For "pick-up" work, nothing could
bo nicer.
Mastication is almost a panacea
for many mouth and stomach
troubles. The proper preparation of
food in the mouth insures good gas
tric digestion, and at the same time
polishes and insures the teeth
against decay. The fluids of the
mouth are anti-septic and germicidal.
Odds and Ends
Coal oil will soften boots and
shoes which have been wet and hard
ened by drying; rub well into tho
leather, it will make it quite pliable.
Clean plaster of paris ornaments
by covering them with wet starch,
let dry on, then brush off, using a
stiff brush.
Scratches on varnished wood will
often yield to treatment by laying a
coarse cloth, saturated with linseed
oil, over them, leaving it on for a
while, then polishing with a dry
flannel. Walnut oil is also recom
mended. To gather up soot which has been
spilled on the carpet, cover the soot
with coarse salt, and brush up
lightly, adding more salt and brush
ing up until . the spot is entirely
clean.
To Dye I;aco
Take a quart jar of gasoline, and
for blue, use Prussian blue ' artist's
oil paint, adding a little flake white
for tho lighter shades and ivory
black for the dark ones. Mix this
thoroughly in the gasoline. When
you have just the color you. wish,
put in all your lace, shake the jar
continuously for a few minutes, then
take the lace out and stretch it out
to dry. If possible, pin it to a cov
ered ironing board, taking care to
keep it straight and to pull out every
little point. To dyo lace pink, use
geranium-lake oil paint, adding a'
little flake-white. Gasoline must
not be used near a fire. Ladles'
Home Journal.
Many cotton and wool laces may
be dyed by the use of package dyes,
directions for doing tho work being
sent on application to the manufac
turers of the dyes. Usually, direc
tions for all kinds of coloring are
given on the label accompanying the
package.
Cleaning Velvet
French chalk, rubbed In lightly,
will remove grease spots from vel
vet; or the chalk may be dropped
on the spot and allowed to remain
for twelve hours, then brushed out
of the pile. If ono time does not
remove tho stain, repeat.
For the Kitchen
Stewing and boiling are both
meats. The juices and flavoring lost
economical methods of cooking
to the meat are held in the soup or
sauce. A six-pound piece of meat
loses in boiling about one pound In
weight.
RtowPfl moats, to be palatable,
must be' cooked with care, always
below the boiling point. When boil
ntr manta t nimiild be covered with
boiling water, boiled rapidly for five
mlrtutes to seal or cement the pores,
then put back where It can not pos
sibly boll', allowing twenty minutes
cooking to each pound. Mrs. S. T.

still cooking, roll with tho help of
a knife and fork and lay in a mound

Baked Apple Sauce Peel, quarter
