JUS TA .FEW CLOTHES SAVERS.
Have you ever thought of wrapping
paper as a clothes saver? I know a
woman who uses it for that purpose,
and the idea seems sensible to me.
If she happens to have a large piece
of wrapping paper she makes an over -
the -head apron. Smaller pieces she
uses for waistline aprons. She says.
that they come in handy when she is
working around the sink.
Every few weeks she spends anodd
half-hour making them, -I have watch-
ed her, She has a straight slip -o
apron pattern seventy-two inches son
and twenty-four inches wide, with a
oval hole for the head twenty inche
from one end. This pattern she place
on the larger pieces and cuts several
at one time. These aprons are full
length in the front and waistline
length in the back. When she ha
several cut she stitches ordinary tap
across the back edges, `leaving end
long enough to come around and ti
in the front.
The waistline aprons are jus
straight pieces. These she folds
lengthwise, and scoops the waistline
edges a little to make them fit proper-
ly. Starting one-fourth inch from
the top on the folded edge, she cuts a
gradual curve to the upper back edge.
Tape and ends finish the waistlines of
these aprons too. She can run one
of them through' the sewing machine
in less than a minute.
With ordinary wear a paper apron
lasts over a week. You can figure
the laundry saving.
Rubberized aprons are a great
clothes saver too. Now that they' are
made in gingham and flower prints
they 'look like any other apron. If
you want to make your waterproof
apron, you will find. table oilcloth a
fairly durable substitute for the rub-
berized goods. Any plain apron pat-
tern will do 'for this purpose. Cut
the apron as described far the paper
slip-on in the description preceding
this one, or use any plain apron .pat-
tern. The most satisfactory finish for
the edges is binding. You can buy
bias lawn binding cut and folded
double already to put on. •
Tapes on the hem of a house dress
serve both as a clothes and tizne sav-
er. You know pins have a way of not
being where you can put your hand
on them when you want to fasten up
your skirt for a kneeling -down job
such as scrubbing. 1
This tape trick also was handed to
me by a woman who makes her own s
dresses and does her own work. She
cuts pieces of tape three. inches long i
and sews snaps to the ends so that
each tape can be snapped together
to form a loop. By tacking the centre
of
these tapes to the top o
p of the- hem
n

goods,' try: one. Double the material
and stitch down the sides and through
the centre to make two compartments.
Shirr the top
the a little and sew tapes to
ends and centre. Make each tape
ten inches long, and tack ` the
to the pocket. Then it' can centre

or apron.

easy
reach, to say nothing of affording a
handy way of conveying those mis-
placed odds and ends from one part
of the house to another.
There is the problem of kitchen
s clothes wearing; out' that we have to
s accept., But if you,have an aversion
for patches, the across -the -front kind
that are an" evidence of too much rub-
bing against the sink and table, try
s piecing.
e .A. young bride I know said she just
s could not wear patches, so she pieced
e her worn-out frocks. It took longer
and required more material, but the
t result was good to look at.
Her pet piecing idea was a ten -inch
panel of contrasting material down
the front with rickrack braid.
One of her washed-out prints she
dipped yellow and gave it a panel of
yellow and brown chintz. She said it
was prettier than when it was new.
You might use the left -over ends from
one dress to piece another.
IMPROVING FUDGE.
Imparting to fudge, either chocolate
fudge or vanilla, that rich caramel
flavor which is so desirable is just a
little trick of preparing the butter.
Put into the saucepan the quantity of
butter to be used and let it melt over
a rather slow fire.
Then,watching carefully Test it
burn, allow the butter to become a
beautiful brown—not too dark, of
course, but of about the color of the
vanilla caramels sold in candy shops.
Then proceed as usual with your fav-
orite recipe. You will be delighted
with the fine flavor that will be added
to your fudge.
RUBBER FLOOR MATS.
Most of us are familiar with sev-
eral various uses for discarded inner
tubes. Few know, however, that these
discarded relics can be made into floor
mats, requiring but a short time and
ittle labor.
The old tubes are first cut into
trips. The strips are then woven or
nterlaced with each otherba..s

strips should be cemented in place.

earance greatly, in addition to mak-
ng the mat stronger.
on the wrong side of the skirt, she a
has a sure and convenient means of 1
fastening the bottom of the skirt to
the belt. A tape on either side of the
front is plenty to hold the skirt up.
At almost any notion counter you
can buy the tape with the snaps al-
ready on it. These little tape loops
come on cards, and are intended to
hold the shoulder straps of the under-
wear. You will find them convenient
for that purpose too. It only takes a
few minutes to tack them to the
shoulder seam of a dress.

TOY -FIXING DAY.
The busy little mother of two small
boys finds it necessary and wise to
bring as much system as possible into
everything pertaining to their daily
life and upbringing. She has, there-
fore, set a day each 'week when she
regularly mends their broken toys.
This habit, she believes,impresses
upon the plastic little minds a degree
of responsibility and regard : for the
cherished possessions.
"Never slip up on the fixing day,"
she writes. "Keep the damaged toys
in a box for that purpose- Carefully
show the child how his playthings are
repaired and let him help whenever
possible.
"Unless you have tried this, you
have no idea how educational it is
and how much interest the child takes
in the operations. This method not
only saves time, but it teaches the
child, by baying to wait for .them, to
be more careful of his toys. The fact
that he is deprived of them for several
days makes his playthings seem like
new."
THAT ELECTRIC -IRON CORD.
When ironing have you not been
bothered with the electric cord get-
ting in your way? A spiral wire
spring such as is used in holding
screen doors shut does `away with this.
nuisance.
A hook is put in the ceiling above
the ironing board,, a little to the right
of the person ironing. One end of
the spring is caught into it; the other
end is hooked to the cord. This keeps
the cord off' the board and out of the
ironer's way, as It does not need to
be shoved aside and: it adjusts itself
as the iron is moved,

Bees Swarm in Auto.
A swarm of bees lodged on the
fender of an automobile owned by a
Ringtown (Pa.) farmer, after:having
followed him for some distance.' Ob-
taining a large packing box, the farm,.
er smeared the inside with molasses.
After waiting some ;time, the queen
bee entered the box, "followed by' all
the others. The ` box was sealed and

inches shorter than the other;
his eyes were bleary; but he obe
the command as if youth were
upon' him.
He followed the rolling innkee
through the greasy areas of the
Chen to the front of the inn, wh
under the wide plaster arch, the Eng-
lishman sat in a lifeless attitude.
The tall gray-haired man turned a
thin face toward Mateo and beckoned
him to follow.
Mateo was willing. Rocca nudged
him with an elbow, and Mateo nodded.
He had played in many a dark game
with the innkeeper, with the thin, vile
Jose and the, oily Mendel. The Eng-
lishman was a "lunger," fighting for
life against consumption; he had pur-
chased, so rumor had it, the tumb
down hacienda, and was planning
live there with his daughter. It was
whispered abroad, also, that Marston
had been an easy mark in his trading.
He would be an easy mark for Rac-
ca's scheming.
As Mateo went down the street be-
hind the stooping Englishman, the
little ninos, beginning to appear f
play, hailed hila with taunts and nic
names, and he dropped his head a
slunk on. All his life he had been
joke in Andres, the butt of fun an
farce for old and young. In all
years he could remember, he h
never received a kind word or look.
Marston halted at the bank an
sent' Mateo for the.horses. When h
returned with them, he looked up, h
blear eyes expanded, and he gaspe
a little.
On the steps of the bank stood th

him, an amused --light; but a kindl
one, and he stared steadily.
"Mateo!" Marston said sharps
"Ride behind!"
The' ride through the rolling coun
try, across the dry flats, by the pe

Santita, to the hacienda was quickly

Jose grinned as he saw the' other's
fear, and nodded. "Now go. Remem-
ber!"
Mateo slid out the back door and
around to the street.
A few;steps brought him to the
bank door, and there Miss Marston
was waiting.
" She
smiled as she swung into the
saddle. "Mr. Easton told me that
you wouldn't' be of much use in pro-
tecting me, but I think you would."
Mateo' glanced up furtively at the
t0 bank -window, and he saw the keen
eyes of the American cashier looking
at him noxiously. He was .evidently
worried, if she were not.
The door opened, and Eason said:
"Miss Marston,,I think I had better
go with you."
She looked back and her eyes were
e tender. "I'm safe with Mateo."
"I shall ride out to -night, however,

terials become scarce
y. Doing the sifting all at one time,
instead of a jar at a time. as needed,
- saves a lot of work And since all
- seeds and fibre are removed, fewer
jars are required. °
There Mateo began to gather the
information that would serve Jose and
incidentally began for the first time
to really live.
Riding with Miss Marston, down
the Quivino road, Mateo listened to
her friendly chat, and went through
the novel experience of being treated
as a man.
'Marston gave him an alitoinatic
revolver of high-grade make and
taught him how to use it.
One afternoon, while dozing in the
corner of the ranch -house, he heard
Marston say:
"I agreed to have the money here
to -morrow morning for ,Morales to
pay cash for the land. :I'm simply
sick, and I'm going ,to send you into
the bank to get ' it. - Mateo will go
with you. Start back as soon as you
can after the heat. I shall worry
until I see you, but I don't see any
other way to get the money here now.
I expected to be stronger before—"
Mateo heard her clear, cheery
laughter interrupt her father. "Cheer
up, pater, old top. You're getting
better every day. Mateo and I --will
go and get back!" •
Mateo was smiling to himself and
thinking of the pleasure of the ride,
when he was seized with a sudden
trembling that ,made him sweat.
