Here Is an uncommon way of mending

has been torn and where only a patch
can remedy matters. The frayed edges
around tbs tear should be carefully
smoothed out and any long threads
trimmed of. Moisten a piece of the ma
terial with very thin mucilage and place
It under the tear. Lay this part of the
garment on a fat surface, and place a
level weight upon the tear and let it
remain until the mucilage is perfectly
dry. The patch will be scarcely percep-
tible.
