A Use for Old Empty Tins.

There is q use for everything, and
even empty tins have many uses
apart from the generally accepted ones
of receptacles for buttons, nails and
odds and ends.
An empty coffee tin is excellent to
replace a sponge bag when travelling.
flannel and sponge, and you will find
it cheap and waterproof. If you add
d coat Of enamel, the sponge tin be-
comes quite decorative. but remember
to leave q plain piece Of tin at the top,
as otherwise the coat Of paint will
make the lid fit too tightly.
Sirup tins make capital little flower
pots when artistically cnameled, and
fill up dark corners admirably. Flat
sided mustard tins are inva luable for
decoration. They must be painted
dark oak inside and out, care having
been taken to ascertain if they are
watertight Being fiat, they can be
nailed into otherwise impossible cor
ners and are hardly discernible from
the actual woodwork. Flowers and
moss last wonderfully in these tins.
Another idea for an empty tin is to
use it for bottle tidy. Some Inedi-
cines, particularly those containing oil,
are apt, when set down, to leave an
unsightly mark. Keeping the bottle
in u tin obviates this. and, after tax
ing dose, the medicine itself remains
hidden until the next time"
Tins can also be adapted for corner
wall decorations in rooms by joining
three rnanicled ones together and
utilizing them for the display Of tall
grasses, ferns and long-stemmed flow
ers.
Select the tins and bore holes in
them near the tops through which
run and twist wire TO keep them firmly
together, twisting the wire into small
loops to hang up by 1t is as well ito
bind them round with wire near the
bottom, as it will prevent any possible
unsteadiness, says Woman's Life.
You need not use tins of any one
siZe-tall ones look well at the back
and short ones in front The en-
ameling depends on your own taste,
and, with a little skill as well in paint
ing, charming results are obtained.
