TOWN HALL, LEDBURY.
[HOUSEHOLD HINTS.]
A good black straw hat and bonnet, changed at the seasons with suitable blossoms, is the most economical and ladylike fashion, but the artificial flowers should be very good of their kind—those with silk or velvet petals look the best and most natural, and can be used a second season if carefully brushed and put away.
Those who have to wear spectacles and eyeglasses should be very careful that the centre of the glass is exactly opposite the centre of the eye. If not, they should be altered to make them so.
If hair is washed with soap it is apt to make it brittle, so it should be afterwards rinsed with a little borax in water.
A little ammonia in the water in which china is washed makes it glossier and nicer in appearance.
A dress well made and of good material outlives several that are not, and gives more satisfaction to the wearer, but it should be carefully chosen as to colour, and not be too aggressive in pattern or tint.
