have room for. Onr space la limited, end we

but it ia impossible. It Is e role of tbe paper
to republish nothing. Tbe poem "Curfew” baa
appeared once; wo cannot reprint It, and whon
we havo once given a recipe, that must suffice.
I am very sure our readers wonld be lenient
towards us bad they any Idas of the number of
requests and cunmunlcatlons that come to os
dally. There were so many ladies wishing tho
exact directions for “doable row loaf lace” that
we have taken tho time and written to Mrs.

cant for tbe sample and directions,) and today
reclevcd a reply, in which lira,.McC. says
there la some mistake, and after trying care-
folly to work it ant she curried It to a friend,
who waa an expert, and she foiled also. I had
Intended to publish those directions for the
benefit of my many reader*, bnt It la useless to
take np room if the directions are Imperfect,
bnt 1 have cneceeded In getting what la said to
ho the right ones. I give them below, and wish
somo lady wonld let me know If this proves
correct. We have endeavored folthfally, and
will continue to try and pleaaa and accommo
date all, as far ta Is in onr power, and when
ever we can give any information privately to
onr correspondents will gladly done. Many
thanks for tho beautiful ferns sent; it is the
most exquisite collection, and are highly ap
preciated, as also the sweet encouraging words
accompanying them. One will be treasured in
my eeiap book and the others in the inmost
