Every woman who expects to make
her home lovely should keep on hand
a set of water colors and oil paints
and a few stencils.
A-plain piece of goods may be made
into a lovely couch cover by stencil
ing and appuiqneing scraps of brown
velvet—any old scraps; work them all
up into a design; a stencil and then
a motif of velvet, and then admire
ypur handiwork.
A girl wanted a big yellow rose
for a black velvet hat she had made,
so she looked up some old faded pink
es (the heart of the rose was still
pink), painted the outer petals with
yellow oil paint and the under side of
the outerpetals with gold—result an
exquisite rose. The stem and leaves
were freshened up with old paint also.
An old fashioned big flowered but
good velvet carpet was made into a
good looking floor covering by paint,
ing the flowers witb dyes the same
shade at the tan body of the carpet
and the result was a very decent
looking rug.
Cleaning Books
Most family libraries are disfig
ured by one or two once lovely vol
umes in unpractical bindings of pale
silk or white leather dimmed by
grime. Art gum or a soft kneaded
eraser may clean them. If not, try
fine powdered pumice, lightly ap
plied with a clean chamois. This Is
what picture dealers use to clean the
margins of the old prints. It roughen*
the surface less than rubber.
Waterproof Soles
If shoek are much worn in the
damp without overshoes the sfotfcs
should be waterproofed. Mose shoe
dealers carry a preparation for the
purpose, or a two-to-one mixture of
melted mutton tallow and rosin may
be applied at home. You will find
that the soles do not only defy water
after such treatment, but wear longer.
Furniture Oil
i
To renovate scratched furniture,
mix together in a bottle equal quanti
ties of the best salad oil and vinegar.
Shake vigorously, then it is ready to
use. Take a small pad or soft rag,
dip into the solution and rub well
into the wood until all scratches have
disappeared. Then poljsh with an
other soft rag. You will be delighted
with the result.
Opaque Window
If you want to shut off the view
from any window, it can be done
very cheaply by dissolving in a little
hot water as much epsom salts as
the water will absorb. Paint over the
window while the solution is hot and
when dry you will have a very good
a little bicarbonate of soda.
Tired Feet
When the feet burn bathe them
daily with water in which there is
a little bicarbonate of sodr.
Some Garden Hints
The best and most convenient rem
edy for cucumber lice, ea, beetles,
and other small garden pests is the
common insect powder which is used
for lice and mites on poultry. Dusted
1 over the leaves, It stays on well
atfd it injures no plants. It does not
kill the insects, but they don't like it
and leave at once. It will not injure
birds, poultry or human beings, so it
is safe to use.
î
Five Tried Stain Removers
Peroxide will remove ink stains
from cloth or fruit sUins froth the
hands.
Stains from iodine can be entirely
removed from white goods by rub*
ig damp carbonate of soda into the
sjJbts and then washing in cold water.
Black grease stains from machinery
may be removed by covering them
with dry baking soda and then pour
ing on turpentine. Let set 20 min
utes and wash in lukewarm water and
soap.
Grass stains are removed by rubbing
the stain in coal oil
Fresh paint is removed by covering
with turpentine and letting stand over
night.
Make Your Boy's Overalls
Buy overall goods and make little
boys overalls. You can get three
pairs for what you would have to pay
for two. Buy bachelor buttons to go
on them, or if you can take old over
alls, cut them off the buttons and leave
gh goods around the buttons to
around. Cut a slit in the new
goods where the button goes, slip the
button through( sew the good around
it to the new and you have a good
strong button without cost
Try This on Scalloped Edges
Instead of embroidering around
scalloped edges try this: Lay off the
scallops and sew around them two or
three time, the. first time on the edge
and the last time as far from the edge
as you wish your embroidery to be
deep. Cut out the scallops and cro
chet around them as follows: With m
stitch on hook insert in the goods
above the last row of stitching, draw
thread throagh two stitches on hook.
