Caring For China
DUR
URING the summer months many girls have married, and are now in the process of settling down to run Amongst their homes of their own.
wedding gifs most would get dimmer and tea services, but in a little white they may be horrified to find eat sináll Ide-like cracks are appearing all over these cherished gifts.
Yet, at the outset they will take little time and trouble to give the Chinu some simple frealment, the annoying cracks can be prevented.
Temper the Cups
Before' using the services, warp cach plece separately in soft cloths and put a few pieces at a time into a shallow pan. Cover with coll water, then bring slowly to boiling point and let them boll for ten
iminuicu. Turn off the gas and let the China remain in the water until cold. This tempers the China and enables it to withstand sudden ex- panion when anything but, He tea or coffee, is poured into the fragile cups.
One boiling is sufficient and the China will be quite free from crucks for a long time: A tie sliced soap. may be put into the water and the dishes should ofterwards bo rinsed; in hot water and dried and polish. with soft towels.
When rinsing it is a good plan to fold a lurkish towel and place it af the bottom of the bowl, so that if the delicate ching, should slip the towel will prevent it from gelting chipped. Removing Tea Stains
In the washing of any china, new or old, if it has any ornamentation o mitor much red colouring, no soda alould be used, as this is sometimes injurious to the decoration. A des- sertspoonful of borax or a few drops of ammonia should be used instead.
Crushed all will remove steins, but if very badly stained a little powdered fuller's earth should be applied on a cloth.
