Darn with Machine.

Let the sewing machine darn that
hole in the bedspread. 1t will darn 1t
ever so much better than your hands
can. Cut piece OF cotton cloth half
an inch larger all around than the
hole, turn the edges in and stitch
down on the machine. Basic the
patch to the inside of the worn por-
ton. Now lengthen the stitch as you
would for very heavy material and
stitch vertically over the hole keep
ing the rows OF stitching as near to-
gether as possible. Do not lift the
needle during the process, but lift the
foot of the machine and swing the
article around the end of each row of
stitching.
When the hole has been quite COW
cred with the vertical rows OF stitch
ing stitch across horizontally. as in
regular darning, until the hole is COM
pletely filled up. The finest table linen
can also be repaired in this way,
only the patch must be of linen in
stead Of cotton cloth. A darn made
this way will far outlast the article.

Cracked Furniture.

Ugly marks caused by Sits or
cracked places on furniture are easily
filled in with beeswax and the mark
is never detected. In fact, this is how
furniture dealers cover such blemishes.
First slightly soften the beeswax until
II is like putty, then press firmly into
the cracks, and smooth evenly with a
thin steel knife. or course a putty
knife is best for the purpose. but dull
case knife will do. Sandpaper over
the surrounding wood and work the
dust into the beeswax. This gives a
wood finish, or color. and when the fur
niture is vanished you will look in
vain for the blemishes. Often this de-
feet occurs in the panels OF furniture.

this method OF mending and you will
be delighted with the result. II is bet

A Road TO Happiness.

Ideal Wall Covering.

From a sanitary and even from an
artistic standpoint nothing makes a
better wall covering than water col
or tint.
This must be the right kind, though,
that will not fade or streak or rub off.
If you insist on having the best, then
will you know the comfort of being
able to wipe down your walls once or
twice a week with a dry soft cloth put
over a broom or long-handled brush.
Some of these wall tints are anti
septic and germicides, and can be
painted over when 1t is desired to
change the decoration of the room
without washing off the under tint.
