HOUSEHOLD HINTS
HINTS TO HOUSE WIVES.

To darn small holes in lawn, linen or
damask, haste the hole firmly over
waXed linen; then, with a very fine
needle and rawlings of the same stuff,
go back and forth, letting the threads
touch until the hole is covered. Take
up the stitches al each end in straight
line. and barely cover the hole. Weave
other threads across this first line,
going under one, over one, as in the
original fabric. If the work is well
done. after pressing the spot will not
show. The same method answers for
soft unpatterned silk. But for glace
silks and brocades, though effecutal, it
is more apparent.
To darn cloth, no matter how jagged
the tear. lay the torn edges 80 they
will touch and haste in place over a
soft thin wooden. such as cashmere or
nuns yelling. Then fasten 1t smoothly
over waxed linen. and darn the rent in
and out with very fine silk exactly
matching the color Use also a very
fine needle. take short stitches, and go
across very close. There should be at
least thirty cross threads to the inch
of darn. Fifty is better still. But they
must be set as not to pucker or raise
ridge. Trim off all loose threads
from the right side, lay the darn face
Iupon a blanket, cover It with damp
cloth, and press very hard with a
heavy, hot iron. If the darning is well
done. it ought to be invisible for at
least three months after the pressing
Rugs and carpets can be darned to
manifest advantage. Lay a bit of
stout but sleazily woven wooden upon
the wrong side OF the rug. fasten down
the frayed edges with causal stitches
here and there then darn thickly back
and forth. using the largest size en-
brofdery needles and either wool, silk
or flax of a harmonious color. Darn
threadbare spots in carpet on the
floor with rawlings in a fine curved
lupholsterer's needle. II there are
motheaten spots in Moquette or Tur-
key carpets, match the colors as near
as possible in soft fine wool. cut the
wool into short lengths, and sew the
tufts to the carpet with fine twist oil
flax. drawing the stitches so tight the
wool stands up each side. When tbs
spot is we'll covered with the tufting
trim it smooth with very sharp shears
Stair carpets may be darned across the
worn places. filing them with coioreC
wool. and then tackled so the darni
come on the rises. not the treads.

Getting Rid of Flies.

House flies are more than pests.
There is a distinct menace in their buzz

ways possible to use screens. Here are
some fly preventives, each warranted
harmless to humankind. Boil together
two ounces of ground black pepper.
four ounces OF white sugar and half a
pint of sweet milk. Cook about a min

and set them where flies most do con-

days. Keep everything edible closely
