a HOUSEHOLD inirrrsii On stormy days confusion is greatly diminished when looking for rubbers if mates are attached with snap clothespins which are labeled with the names of the owners. Use an electric fan to dry your liquid stockings. While smoothing the film on your legs, let the direct di-rect breezes from a fan speed drying. It is time to change your mind if you're one of those who think all furniture in your best room should match piece for piece. The smartest and most comfortable rooms we've seen were rooms with mixed furniture mixed with taste. You need not have all "period pieces" or all modern to get a good effect. Blond and dark pieces go together very well and you may, for example, have a practical, functional table next to your old wing chair. Grind small pieces of toilet soap in a food grinder for use in your dish pan. It makes lots of suds and is easy on your hands too. If you sew the buttonholes of coat sweaters together before washing, they will not stretch. An effective method for cleaning clean-ing copper, brass or pewter is making a paste of equal parts of salt, flour and vinegar. Apply the paste, let stand for an hour, rub off, wash with water, and polish. A box of stationery with a three-cent three-cent stamp on each envelope makes a nice gift for a friend in the hospital. After you have washed your sweater, press it when it is almost dry. Lay it smoothly on the ironing iron-ing board, placing a cloth over it. Use a warm iron and press lightly, light-ly, then allow sweater to lie flat on a towel to finish drying.
