Show Boil the clothesline in strong salt water to keep it from freezing in winter. Painting a porch ceiling white will give added light to an adjoining ad-joining room. If you keep your dustpan waxed, it will always look clean and the dust will slip from it more easily. Rag rugs will stay flat and will not rumple if they are washed in hot water and again in cold water. Use a heavy starch. Iron when dry. If you need a kitchen stool to get at those high shelves, use an old baby highchair. Remove arms and tray and paint the stool to match your kitchen set. When washing collars and cuffs of shirts scrub lightly with a small brush. This quickly removes the soil and saves time. When making a new dress for your little daughter, make a matching hanky. She'll remember to take one then, for she'll always be looking for one to match. If you are making a stuffed toy for your youngster, put a few pebbles in a pill box in' with the stuffing, to produce a rattling noise. |
