To Clean Plaster Ornaments.

Plaster of Paris pieces are pretty just as long as they retain their spotless white color. If they become dusty they ipay be cleaned by scrubbing them with a soft brush dipped In gasoline The first washing will leave the gasoline very dirty, so you must carefully wipe the figures and then repeat the process. When thoroughly dirty, mid even this method of cleaning fails, the' Images may be made to look very attractive by patnting .with whit* alabastine, or given a glossy finish with white enamel. They may also be renovated by making a weak solution of isinglass water In which clean whiting is dissolved. Paint with this solution and set aside to dry. They are also very decorative when bronzed.
