was being concluded without interruption,

any objection to raise. Then Kensit
walked up to the chancel, and objected
to Rev. Henry W. Spnrling, who he said
had been a curate at St. Saviour's Church,
Pimlico, where the law had been deliber-
ately broken.' Spurling, he added, had also

LACE
, Iron lace on the right side first, „then
on the wrong side, to throw ilp the
pattern.
When ironing laces, cover them with
clean white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
lace.
When putting laces away, fold as lit-
tle an possible. A goad plan is to
wind it round a card, as they do in the
shops.
Use cornflour instead of ordinary
starch f OT stiffening laces. This mieftes
them firm, and does not detract from
the "lacy" appearance.
After "getting up" laces do not leave
them to air in a daxap place -round the
fire when the kettle is bollixes, far in-
stance. This robs them of their fresh-
ness and makes them look limp.
All laces, before being ironed, should
be carefully pulled out, each point re-
ceiving attention. You will be repaid
f or your trouble, as the face will loolt
twice as nice and last clean a much,
longer time.
Ten grains of bichloride of mercury
in coarse powder; rose water, two
ounces; distilled witch hazel, two
ounces. Shake until a coraplete solu-
tion le obtained. Apply to the freekies
with a bit of linen or a velvet slicing°
once or twice dilly as required. If it
irritates the skin very much add more
rose water. Do not foeget that bi-
chloride , of naercury is a dangerous
poison.

that his death is benefit enough.
