Silk cannot be riucccssfully ironed out without first sprinkling it with water, rolling it np tightly m a towel, and letting it rest tor an hour. If the iron ii at all too hot it will injure the silk, so it should first lie tried on an old scrap of the material.

I The care of carpets.—There h always a tavorile chair in everv room, therelore never keep the furniture jn the same place l'or a length of time, an naturally the carpet will get worn nior»i in that part of the room. If altered mTaMonallv t ho carpel will get more even wear. Before grating lemons it will lie well to wash them in a of luke-warm water, [or ou examination it will be found thai the outside of a lemon is anything Uut clean, and if put under a microscope it will be discovered to have tiny black tipeck.-, on it, which arc .the minute eggs of an insect. 'J'o ('lean Kngraviug*.— l'lace the en- | graving on a smooth deal board and cover it thinly with common suit which ha- been iinelv crushed: mjucozc lemonjuice on lo the ?,a!l till it is dissolved, llatac the board al one end and pour boiling water on to the engraving till the salt and lemon are washed oil'. The engraving will then appear ijuite clean

and free from staiux it on the board till perfectly dry. | A good method of fastening tape- on a ve.ii *o iliat it. does not "ride" up at the back or >ides when worn is that | of lirst a couple of long loop.1 of narrow tape ou to both cornels of the vol al the back, and fixing a length of tape the corresponding edge- of the ve-t in front. These should lie pa—etl under each arm. threaded tlirough the back loops, ami the cud* then brought round again lo the front and lied a.> linnly a* po-silde. Sciilei) hairjiins are the latent novcllics exhibited in London West-Knd hair<irer»ei>>' windows. The knob at the lop of the hairpin is littcd with a spring which, at the slightest touch, releases the miniature spray of perfume. Th<' idea i- always to <«n>urr alksolnte fre-h perfume, for. however line a scent may i>e, it is apt io become stale after bring exposed to the air for a couple of hours. Kveu scent fail in this respect, and nothing is more aggre>sive than the odour of *lale pcrfuiue. !l is (piite easy for a woman to pat her hair or replace a hairpin, and this is all that is necessary lo release the pcrfumo. Hairpins are made in gold for blondes, tortoiseshcll for brown hair, dark amber for auburn-haired women, and silver for grey locks. An Important Point. —There is nothing so attractive about any girl as her shoes. Clmrming ell'ect is spoiled by rthoes that are the yever>e of inviting to look upon. Buttons may bo missing, or shoe laces frayed: the hoots may lie worn down on one side of the sole, or they may look " 100-c." but. whatever the eaiuc, the result is the same. Jf mother?- would make short-sleeved loose llanncl wai-t> for children lo wear under the lir-t -piing many might be prevented. These are also useful in cool day* in summer, and in the autumn before it is cold enough for winter tlannel H or heavy dresses. They take the place of an extra outside garment, which always hampers a child. '1 eetotal Tritle.—Take four pennv -pongc-cakc-. cut them in -liees. and spread with any kind of jam. ('over the bottom of a deep gh\s- di*h \w\h a layer of the -ponge-cake: over thi- put a hiver of macaroon* and small piece* of ery*lallized fruit* and slice,, of sweet almonds, and repeat until the dish is nearly full. Have ready a cn*tard made with one pint of new milk, the yolk- of three eggs, and one to-ispeonful of cornHour, and Ihivonred with thence of ratilliii. and pour over the contents of th" di-h until all is thoroughly *oakeil. lie- ! fore sending to table, whip the white- ' of the three eggs still' with a little sifted ' sugar and a few of lemon-juice and pile on top of the trilie. Sprinkle • with pieces of glaee cherries or "thou
