SELECTIONS. To wash a tussore silk blouse : Use cold water and Sunlight soap. Rinses article in cold water, into which a few grains of starch have been dissolved. Washed this way the article will look quite fresh, and will have the stiffness which new tussore has. Sal-Volatile or hartshorn will restore colours taken out by acid. It may be dropped upon any garment without doing harm. Tea-making.—Dr. Kitchener recommends that all the water necessary should be poured in at once, as the second drawing is bad. When much tea is wanted, it is better to have two tea-pots instead of two drawings.
HINTS FOR THE HOUSE. Physical beauty is the sign of an interior beauty, a spiritual and moral beauty which is the basis, the principle, and the unity of the beautiful.— Schiller. I affirm that the good is the beautiful.—Plato. Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know. — Keats. Beauty shone in self-denial, In the sternest hour of trial ; In a meek obedience To the will of Providence ; In the lofty sympathies That, forgetting selfish ease, Prompted acts that sought the good Of ev’ry spirit ; understood The wants of every human heart, Blessings ever to impart— Blessings to the weary soul That hath felt the bitter world’s control : Here is beauty known such as ne’er Met the eye or charmed the ear ; In the soul’s high duties then I felt That the loftiest beauty ever dwelt.— Cranoii.
