When the lacquer has dissolved, let the brass drain, and then rinse it in clear water. Any discoloured parts can be im- mersed in a solution of four ounces cyanide of potassium to one gallon of water. After rinsing, dry off in sawdust.
Parts to be re-polished should not be touched until quite dry, when they can be rubbed up with metal polish, which will, of course, need to be cleaned off again.

NURSERY LARDER. ·
Lady Jean Mackintosh's Inventions,
There must be many motherà in South Kensington who possess large, airy nurseries overlooking a "gardens." But fow of them, pro- bably, have devoted as much time, thought, and ingenuity to their ar rangement as Lady Jean Mackin- tosh, daughter of the Duchess of Hamilton,
Lady Jean has three children, two girls and a boy of three months, whose fair, rosy-cheeked health are the best possible testimony to her care of them.

"Yes, six inches mora.. inches moro for what?"
But six
This is the question most re- peated in dressmaking shops all over the Philippines as plous clients came pouring in asking that the sleeves be extended at least six inches below the shoulder so as to reach below the elbows, and that the skirts be at most eight inches from the floor.
This sudden trend in the apparel for women did not come from Paris, where the fashions for wo- men are issued from the accepted Regular Fun-bathing, for in authorities, but from no less than stance, has been made possible for the archbishop's palace, which them by the simple addition of wire-ordered the reading last Sunday in netting all round the stone balcony all churches of the Philippine of a outside the day nursery, s80

No collu the day nursory for this purpose, sion, however, is suspected. and the children can thus be out from early morning until bed-time. The problem of the nursery larder has been solved by Lady Joan simply but most hygienically, for outside the windows of the night nursery, facing north, a small food safe with netting and shelves' in side for butter, milk, and fruit has been placed.
Another of Lady Jean's inven- tions is A pen with a wooden "floor," which is hinged, so that both pen and floor can be pushed up against the nursery wall when not in use.

The religious criterion of Philip- pine dressmakers for their clients has come to be the measurement of the sleeves and the skirts. It is no longer necessary for one to ob- servo if a female church devotee has the beads of a rosary, or if she wears other religious embleme, to determine her religious tempera- ment. A swift glance at the sleeves and the skirts will suffice.
