NOVEL WAY OF MENDING.

A good way to mend round hole
in silk or wooden dress, and where
otherwise only patch could remedy
matters, is the following; The frayed
portions around the tear should be
carefully smoothed. and piece of
material moistened with very thin
mucilage, placed under the hole. A
heavy weight should then be put up
on it until dry, when it is only possi-
BILE to discover the mended place by
careful observation. New York

FOE Shrinking CLOTH.

A simple and effective way OF
shrinking heavy cloth is to hang it
on the clothes line with the fold on
the line and sprinkle it with the gar
den hose. 1t can then be left hang
ing until it is dry aud will need no
further pressing. This method is
not good for light or loosely woven
cloth as the weight of the water will
make it sag, but it is safe and rapid
treatment for Scotch tweeds or heavy
broadcloths.
