NOVEL - roa WOODEN gass.
Made TO Darn Stockings On, They Fin
ally Served as Knobs for Hstpins.

One of the innumerable things that
the manufacturers of turned-wood
goods make is the darning egg. for use
as an aid in daTning stockings.
These eggs are commonly provided
each with a handle Of the same kind
Of wood, which screws into one end. A
while ago there was received at the
New York Office Of a turned goods
manufacturing concern an order for a
couple of cases, some thousands in
number, Of darning eggs to be sup
piled without handles and Of a size
somewhat smaller than the standard;
and then for some reason this special
lot of eggs was left on the manufac-
turer's hands. But they were not
wasted
In the course of time there came
in a hatpin manufacturer who wanted
to leave an order for a few thousand
hatpin knobs, to be made in specified
shape and dimensions Besides making
regularly a great variety of things the
turned goods makers also turn wood in
any shape that may be required to
order
And then the salesman recalled that
little lot of understood handleIess
darning eggs. which proved to be ex-
actly what the hatpin wanted and he
took the lot. And so finally they came
to be made up, not as darning eggs.
with fancy handles, but as the knobs
of hatpins.

Every hOusekeePer should have a
mattress needle, and these can be
made easily from the rib of an Old
umbrella. Rip on the silk from the
bottom, and then you have the eye.
Snap of at the desired length, the
usual length being about II inches.
Sharpen both ends on a stone, and you
have a good needle.
AS the bed becomes separated or
the strings undone, they are easily
sewed down with linen thread, making
it comfortable and lasting. Feather
beds may be tufted in the same way.

Toured board and roll out lightly and
cut quickly, handling as little as pos.
sible. Bake in 4 quick oven and serve

A New Salad.

A new variation on the now familiar
Waldorf salad has been invented,
where the apple is peeled, cored and
cut in cross slices. One slice is laid
upon a few lettuce leaves on each
plate, and over it is put layer of bar
le-duc and cream cheese, which has
been put through a potato masher,
while around the whole is arranged a
circle of mayonnaise dressing. A pret-
tier dish can hardly be imagined, and,
by the way, the cheese is never so
good as it is when used in this way
or beaten up with little whipped
cream

Instead of giving mattresses to junk
dealers or taking out and burning,
empty contents and wash ticking and
