To Cleanse Fine Lace.

Here is a recipe for cleansing laces which an old lacemaker who has woven many a gossamer web for the great connoisseur and lover of laces, Mme. Modjeska, gave to her pupil and patron: Spread the lace out oh paper. Cover with calcined magnesia, place gnotber paper over it and put away between the leaves of a book for two or three days. Then all it needs Is a skilful little shake to scatter the powder, and its delicate threads are as fresh and clean as when first woven.
