ANSWERS TO CO-RESPONDENTS.

Olqa.— (1) 'I) rape your-jglasß with a frilled Liberty muslin, either a delicate pattern to harmonise with hangings and carpet or a plain cream draped with Mnall palm-leaf fans and a Liberty sash cut up the middle and frayed at the edges. (2) Pdint or varnish in accordance with the rest of the woodwork in the rein. . Personally I much prefer all the woodwork in a bedroom paiated ; it is fresher looking, and much newer fashioned. (3) Very little 1 draping is'iued now. Oannoti you aide the .loot with a plain art serge-portiere ? ; If not, use Liberty muslin blinds, drawn top and bo*. ton£, (4) Line with old rose or very pale , fawn Lib rty silk. Embroider a'haudfcorae ; mosogcam to match in tbe centt'e, and dtape at either end with silk cord to match tbe lining. , A range the draping go that a square end of, plush, about 18in, falls at either end to complete it. (5) PurLiere hung inside the door. Rod* and brackets for .hanging them are kept by upholsterers and ironmongers. Alison —(1) The marks will gradually wear away ; ' you cannot do anything to remove them. For the other, try taking *ars?.panlla ox Beigel's syrup regulaily. ■{_) No. (3) Such things are extensively sold at Home, atd are intended for those foolish people who ace no longer young, ' but wish to look 60'; they arc usually frauds. Inquiber, Lawrence.— The .engagement ring is ■ worn on tlie third finger of the left hand — the ' wedding ring finger. Emma.— To starch shirts, take threequarters of a cup of raw starch and mix to a smooth paste with one cup of cold water. Add one tcaspoonful powdered borax and stir in two cuds of hot water, adding a small piece of speriuacti as large as a"bean (wax caudle will no). Dip the brawt, collar, and cuffs of the shirt; in on the wroffg tide, roll tightly, and lay aside for two or three hours. To iron : Be quite sure that everything, you are going to uee is daintily andscrupulously clean. Turn the shirt, fold flown the middle of the 'back, and iron all the plain parts fttst. Thendo tbe cuffs with a hot iron, lightly inside, heavily outaide"; finish by rubbing very hard with a glossing iron over a plain wooden boaid. Next do the collar and. front, usigg .a board covered with flannel, and, glossing by ironing heavily over the plain board. > It is the" rubbing hard with a very smooth iron which gives the glossy surface.
