IN THE HOUSE
Flour Paste—Adhesive flour paste should be boiled. A good article is composed of wheaten flour, one ounce; powdered tracaganth, half an ounce ; powdered gub arabic, half an ounce ; salicylic acid. 30 grains ; oil of wintergreen. three drops ; water, 13 ounces. Mix the powders and gradually add the water, then bring to the boil. Allow to simmer for twenty minutes, stirring constantly. When cold, add the oil. Sachet Powder. —Orris root powder, in shilling packets from a good perfumer, I have found to last longer than any other kinds. But white rose and sandal wood in paper sachets are strong and fragrant. The perfume comes out strong when the sachet has been kept in a drawer for some time. It must be sprinkled plentifully on the wadding of the sachet, or (if a small one) slipped in, in its cover, with the outer one of glazed paper taken off.
