UNIQUE PANTRY DOOR.

Net having any too much room in
my pantry, which was. originally hall
cupboard, ! utilized the door in the
manner shown. The smaller articles
have tacks as hangers, for the larger
ones small hooks are better. These
can be bought for few cents per
dozen, and do not damage the wood
as does nail. The ring by which the
chopping bowl hangs ION the lower
part of the door), was formerly on q
window shade, but was found to be
just the thing for this purpose. The
lids are held in place by fine wire
stretched across the panel to small
tacks driven in the edge Of the
molding.
The little pocket above the stewpan
holds my bread tickets, for living is
high in this town, and we find that
bread for two is cheaper bought than
made. Above this is sheet of card
board, which I call my fruit list. I may
tell of it in another article. Just below
the gem pan is little book made of
writing paper, in which I write my
tested recipes that have proved worth
a second trial. Just below this thick
pad with pencil attached which re-
ceives jottings of things needed in the
home. The cardboard sheet below the
crater has a memorandum of weights

whip the edges of the wheels with red
silk thread-which was given out
with the blocks-and secure names
enough to fill the white spaces in the
wheel, the charge for each name to
be ten cents. When all the blocks
were finished and sewed together, q
good penman was chosen to write
the names on each block as handed

block being placed in the center and
the other names between the spokes.
This was done with indelible ink

sweeplnx or the Cobwebs.

In the nursery tales the famous old
woman who is credited with the desire
to "sweep the cobwebs off the sky"was
armed with a broom, and in the house
hold realm the broom has long been
recognized as the most effective
medium for busting the walls and
sweeping the obnoxious cobweb from
it's lofty resting place, says the Brook
Ign Eagle. An experienced housewife
living in country town, however,
states that in this advanced age walls
and woodwork are best busted with a
long-handled window brush covered
with canton flannel. ''The brush not
being in such frequent demand as the
broom" she says, "can be put away with
it's cover on. and is always ready for an
emergency in the shape Of a cobweb.' -
