| For the benefit of those who are
| intending to have hair-mattresSes made
over, housekeeper makes the follow
ing reminder: Instead of having the
mattress in one piece, have two pieces,
one being square the width of the
| bed, and the osher piece of sufficient
size to fill the remaining space. By
doing so the unsightly depression
which is sure to come in a mattress OF
one piece is avoided, as the square can
be turned around and the pieces
changed end for end. 1t is much more
! convenient to handle when necessary
to be aired, and will remain in shape
| for many years-N. Y. Tribune.
