When pressing a frock that needs moistening, it is a good plan to apply the water with a small brush. Shake or comb the brush, and the water will be sprinkled evenly. For dandruff melt a little butter and while still warm rub it well into the head; then wash the hair immediately after. It clears the hair and makes it beautifully soft.

Before using eggs for cake-making place them in cold water for two hours and the cakes will be much lighter.
