work baskets are overfowing with gar
ments in need of repair2 This rubber
tissue Is very thin piece of transparent
rubber. 1t is sold at fifteen cents an
ounce, which means piece perhaps six
or eight inches wide, and twenty inches
long. The tissue will not cover up
holes-that Is, not satisfactorily-but It
will strengthen thin or weak places,
mend tears or cuts; In fact, repair any
goods which has not actually lost

We will suppose there Is three-cor-

away the frayed threads, draw the
edges together either with invisible
stitches on the wrong side or by hold

of the tissue, the right size, over the
tear and piece Of cambric or any other
fabric desired over that and press with
warm iron-quite warm, but not hot.
Press firmly and then remove the iron,
and the mending is done. There must
always be surface between the rubber
and the iron or the former will melt
and stick 10 the iron.
