PRoLoNGs LIFE OF SHEETS.
Simple Idea Which Means a Doubling
Of Their Usefulness.

Every good housewife is interested
in the care OF sheets. and many OF
them viii like TO hear a few sugges-
tons made by an economical and
clever woman.
She said: Il never have my sheets
made with small hem on one end.
There Is always a three-lnch hem on
both ends-sC there Is no top OF Dot.
tom-and the sheets wear Just twice
as long as they otherwise would. IL Is
not difficult 20 do. for l always have
my sheets made In the house by a
seamstress. SO they will be the right
size. And. speaking OF size. do you
know what TO do when ready-made
linen sheets are too short for the
beds?"
or course. 1 did not. so she told me
that a false hem might De added. and
either fagoted or hemstitched 10 the
one already on the sheet In this way
the sheet could be easily made as long
dc desired. and the embroidery only
added TO the beauty OF the sheet.
This is certainly very useful infor-
nation. for many mother has a tall
boy who is constantly complaining
that the sheets are too short. The ad-
dition OF the false hem is quickly
done, and the extra material required
does not form a very large item in the
family expense account.

Useful Buster Devised from Worn-Out

Sending to Laundry.


Ousters-There is nothing that can
be used to dust with that can equal
the lower portion of a gauze under

out tight, il will take up every particle
OF dust, and then. as II is rinsed. one
feels sure Of actually getting rid OF so
much dirt. Twenty years OF busting
highly finished furniture with a soft.
damp woven dust cloth has not dim
med its luster.
Old Sheets-When sheets wear out
past recovery, tear out the center or
worn part, sew up in a double seam.
thus hiding the edges, and sew one,
two or three brass rings as needed on
TO one end. Use this to hang over
nice dresses in the closets II too
long, cut piece of from the bottom
and use TO cover the sleeve board. or.
If Of good quality. this piece would
make pillow case.
Stockinss-All stockings should be
marked so as 10 mate. Initials can be
worked in long outlining stitches with
either white thread or different col
ored silks for different members of the
family. Use the Roman numerals with
one long stitch for each line to mate
them. This sort of marking takes
but few moments as soon as the
stockings are bought and saves IA Oh
time in sorting and gives general SAT
isfaction in the household.
For Safety-Ons mother with sew
eral daughters has hit upon a good
plan to protect her right OF owner
ship. Each week when preparing
clothes for the Monday wash she
takes a needle with white thread and
runs a stitch through one corner OF
each OF her own handkerchiefs. also
each stocking. The maid is instructed
to dampen the handkerchiefs and
break the thread only when ready to
iron them and see that they are
placed on her bureau. The same in
structions are given in regard to the
stockings.
Lace Curtains-All lace curtains
should be soaked for least an hour
In cold water I'm which a little borax
has been dissolved before putting them
Into warm suds. This takes out the
smoky odor and softens the dirt
Ice Pick-Always remember that
n the ice pick is lost or misplaced for
the time being. an ordinary hat pin
gradually forced into ice will produce
a crack and separate the ice without a
sound. Nurses in hospitals use needles
and even common pins 10 crack ice for
patients.
Shoes Blacked-There is no reasO-
why young or old should be carele
about having their footwear kept In
proper condition. A lambs wool glove
and dauber can be bought for ten
cents and a box OF backing for xu-
other dime. BY being careful to never
use but one side OF the dauber there
will be no need OF soiling the fingers,
and the wool glove gives ane polish
with very little effort
Furniture Polish-Al outlay OF en-
ergy required in polishing furniture
after the fall cleaning is well repaid
In the appreciation shown by every
member OF the family. well tested
polish is made of one part benzine.

And next he auctioned on his beds,

And make some slight repairs.
But speeding In the early dusk,
without his lamps alight,

And stopped his dizzy Night.
