Show A hot-water bottle placed in the clothespin bag when hanging out clothes will keep the hands warm in cold weather. Here's a different frosting for white or yellow cake. To one-half cup crushed pineapple, add one cup crumbled macaroons, one-half teaspoon lemon juice, and a little confectioners' sugar to taste. To add greatly to the convenience conven-ience of your knitting or sewing bag, paste a piece of measuring tape across one of the handles. Most such handles will take a 12-inch 12-inch strip. An old hoe heated and straightened straight-ened out, will make an excellent tool for edging flower beds, loosening loosen-ing grain in bins, chopping ice from the walk, chopping pumpkins for the hogs and many other uses. When the wooden handle breaks off the monkey wrench, hammer a piece of pipe over the end tightly. tight-ly. Let it be somewhat longer than the original handle for greater leverage. A cloth-wrapped brick is a handy item for your sewing room. Any work which must be held taut while being sewed can be pinned to the brick and thus anchored firmly. When your iron sticks to clothing, cloth-ing, ask yourself whether you've used too much starch or rinsed clothes improperly. If not, dirt on the bottom of the iron may be causing the condition, in which case rub the bottom of the iron with a damp cloth. When cool, polish with a dry cloth. In very stubborn cases, use silver polish or run the iron over table salt, spread on waxed paper to smooth the sole plate. |
