A YOUNG WIFE is certainly entitled to display any large articles of
silver she may possess on her sideboard in the dining-room.
PASTORA should have the silver cleaned by a silversmith. 2. A recipe for
"pot pourri" has lately been given.
A FARMER'S DAUGHTER.--The feathers required a very much longer time for
drying, and must also be "stripped," as it is called, _i.e._, all the
large thick stalks taken out. It is these which have not dried, and
retain the animal particles, causing the smell.
PINCHER and FREDA.--A recipe for "pot pourri" was given at page 224,
vol. v.
A YOUNG DOMESTIC.--We should recommend the eiderdown quilt being sent to
a cleaner's, as it will only lead to disappointment if you wash it at
home. Put a little glycerine on the tea-stain before it goes to the
wash.
PRIMROSE should try a little tripoli and water upon the surface of the
table. It will remove the spots.
PRIMEVERE.--There have been no other papers but those you mention on
"Economical Housekeeping," but we shall probably give more on both
subjects.
WILLOUGHBY.--We do not think that either green gooseberry jam or jelly
can be kept green; they always boil a light red.
NOVICE IN HOUSEKEEPING.--If you paid more attention to ascertaining what
meat, game, fish, poultry, fruit, and vegetables were in season (fully
in), and then procured them at places where you had not to pay for extra
high rents, as you do when shops are situated in expensive localities,
you would bring down your bills greatly.
