Tennyson. Black Silk. A good many housekeepers keep what they call "a black box" and into that goes every bit of black velvet, lace, tibbon or jet which is not in use. Such odds and ends an sure to come into use because black combine* with everything. The following advice i* good regarding black pieces: Never throw away a scrap of black silk. .-\n inch strip of black silk is a boon sometimes. After ripping up an old gown lake three or four olu kid gloves and put thsm to boil in a pint of water. Let them boil for an hour, strain through a cloth, and put in the liquid a quart or lion of hot water and a tableapoonful of borax. Lay your silk flat on a perfectly clean table that ha* no seams or cracks in, anil rub every inch of the silk with the mixture till it is thoroughly saturated and all spot* are lemoved. Then fix a tub of warm water, in which put a liberal quantity oi borax, and pick the ilk up by the corners and dip it up snd dewn in the tub of water. Dtp and drip till it is well rinsed, then take out to the line, where you have pinned a long strip of cloth about a foot wide. To the edge of this cloth pin the silk by the extreme edge, stretching it so that it is net wrinkled and doe* not droop. Let it drip dry, and it will need no ironing. Do this on a bright day, when there is no wind. Black ribbon* ay be cleaned the sane way.
