up a potpourri Jar are recommends
to every young girl who has access to
a garden or the llelds and woods.
Any one of tho quaint and pretty
patterns of rose Jars procurable at any
big shop will answer for holding tho
potpourri Itself, which consists not
only of rose leaves, but of the petals
and leaves of any sweet scented plant.
Tho putting up of tho potpourri con
sequently extends through spring and
early summer, Just as the different
blossoms come out. There are a few
general directions which must be close
ly followed In making potpourri. Tho
rope Jar It.'elf, as also the vessel In
which tho potpourri Is mixed, munt
bo perfectly new must never before
havo been used. The snlt used in tbe
making must bo toasted lu tho oven to
insure lis absolutely dryness. The
blossoms and leaves must be young
and tender when gathered, entirely un
willed nnd must bo used when perfect
ly freshnot after lying by or standing
In water. The Ingredients must bo
thoroughly stirred up at least once
better twice a day, and when the pot
pourri is all gathered and mixed It
should be exposed for two or three
weeks to tho heat of the August sun.
Hero follow two recipes for pot
pourri Ingredients. They aro copied
from an old book handed down from
mother to daughter In n Ocrmnn baro
nial family and have been followed,
as have also the general Instructions
given above, and found reliable and
satisfactory even In the present genera
tion: First.-One pound fresh pickled
orange blossoms, half a pound of roses,
half a pound of mace, half a pound of
lavender nnd four ounces of marjo
ram leaves, four ounces of carnations,
four ounces oxalls, one ounce rose
mary, one ounce cloves and half an
ounce of bay leaves.
Second. One pound of orange blos
soms, one pound of roses, half n pound
of red carnations, half a pound each
of marjoram and myrtle, two ounces
each of nutmeg, thyme, lavender, sage,
camomile and sweet basil, fifteen or
twenty bay leaves and three handfulu
of Jasmine. Let tho mixture stand for
a mouth, stirring twice a day, nnd
then add ten ounces of powdered orris
root, (wo ounces of cinnamon and two
of cloves, with six drams each of yel
low sandalwood and ehyper.
Itoth the above recipes call for half a
pound of suit-absolutely dry to draw
