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 an odd
half-hour making them. I have watch
ed her. She has a straight slip-on
apron pattern seventy-two inches long
and twenty-four inches wide, with an
oval hole for the head twenty inches
from one end. This pattern she places
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 has
several cut she stitches ordinary tape
across the back edges, leaving ends
long enough to come around and tie
in the front.
The waistline aprons are just
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 for 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 time 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.
This tape trick also was handed to
me by a woman who makes her own
dresses and does her own work. She
cuts pieces of tape three inches long
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 of the hem
on the wrong side of the skirt, she
has a sure and convenient means of
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.
A detachable pocket is a handy
housekeeping accessory. If you have
a left-over half-yard of house-dress
goods, try one. Double the material
and stitch down the sides and through
the centre to make two compartments.
Shirr the top a little and sew tapes to
the ends and centre. Make each tape
ten inches long, and tack the centre
to the pocket,. Then it can be tied to
the belt of a dress or apron.
When you are doing up the house
work, one of these carry-all pockets
will keep the dust cloth within 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
clothes wearing out that we have to
■ 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
i piecing.
A young bride I know said she just
could not wear patches, so she pieced
her worn-out frocks. It took longer
and required more material, but the
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 lefct 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.

“How odd,” said Pamela; “only
yesterday I was talking to Mrs. Mac

I said just what you say, that it seems

“I couldn’t do my Greek last night,
and I prayed that I wouldn’t be at the

“Oh, Jock,” his sister protested,
“that’s not whpt prayers are for.”
“Mebbe not, but I’ve managed it

CHAPTER XII.
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
little labor.
The old tubes are first cut into
strips. The strips are then woven or
interlaced with each other, basket
fashion. The end strips are made
double width and turned over. These
strips should be cemented in place.
A row of brass rivets, placed
around the edges, improves the ap
pearance greatly, in addition to mak
ing the mat stronger.
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 having 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 i.i 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
ironerts way, as it does not need to
be shoved aside and it adjusts itself
as the iron is moved.

My Little Town.
"She’s not been back for many a year,"
They say; they never know I’m near.
For where my wistful dreaming goes
No shadow ever shows.
I walk the quiet streets and see
No change with all the years. For me,
The elms branch still above our lawn.
And not a friend Is gone.
"She’s not been back.” they say, nor
look
Where sunlight dances on the brook,
In peaceful rooms they never see
The child I used to be.
Perhaps at dusk the still streets know;
They, too, remember long ago;
Perhaps they guess, since I am there,
How yearningly I care.
But I shall never speed across
The long, long miles, to learn of loss,
To find the old town new and strange—
For me it does dot change.
