FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Rents will look much better when
mended il they are attended to at
once, because the longer they are left
the more ragged the edge becomes.
Lay the garment right side down and
put the edges of the rem as close to-
gether as possible. Gut a piece OF
mending tissue rather larger than the
space that is torn and lay on top. y
Take a piece of thin wooden material
the same size as the tissue and as near
the color of the cloth as possible. lay
this on top of the tissue, and when
placed in exactly the right position iron
with a hot iron until the patch adheres
to the garment.
The heat will cause the tissue to dis
solve, forming a sort of glue.
III tho material is of lightweight
goods it will be best to use a patch of
exactly the same sort of goods, but if
the material is heavy, such as is used
In mems suits or coats. "a lighter patch
will be very much better.
A clean cut in heavy materials may
be mended by putting the two edges
firmly together and basting them to a
piece of paper on the right side, says
the Chicago Daily News.
Take a thread and insert the needle
about three-eishths of an inch from
the edge and carry 1t between the
cloth to about half an inch the other
side of the cut and draw the threads
through; put the needle in where it
came out and carry it to the other side,
about half an inch beyond the edge, in
a slightly slanting position.
Continue to do this until the whole
cut is darned. BE careful not TO pun
too tight. Darn in the same way in
the opposite direction.
1t is difficult to use this method OF
mending if the edges are the least bii
frayed. and on his materials it must
be done with the greatest of care. using
the finest thread and needle possible.
All darns must be pressed when fin
ished. To do this lay the right side
down on the ironing board and on the
wrong side lay a damp cloth and iron
until perfectly dry.

occasional question or interiection.

greatest curse. All enjoyed a humorous
