PAY AS YOU ENTER MAY
BECOME BANQUET RULE
Persons Who Fail to Send Check
Embarrass Managers

When people accept an invitation to
invest $40 in a Aanquet, to honor some
great and good person, a check should
accompany the acceptance. 1t is not
good form to consent to become a pay
ing guest and then omit payment says
the Philadelphia Ledger. 1t looks like
an acute case of the free lunch habit.
Sometimes a city where there has been
such banquet and default attests it's
civic pride by footing the bill, but this
method of settlement excites comment
and is not likely to become usual. There
seems to be reed OF a pay as you enter
banquet hall.

Mending With Adhesive Plaster

The children will appreciate an adhe-
sive plaster ball. The sticky strips are
simply wound round and round on them
selves until a ball is formed that will
last forever. bounce beautifully and
hurt nothing when it ahghts by acci-
dent where it should not.
For mending heavy kid gloves and
gauntlets the plaster again comes into
play; for the lighter kids, court plaster
in black or white is better. Simply place
the edges of the tear together. and
press the plaster. cut a little larger
than the hole. upon the inside.
Adhesive plaster is fine, again. for
rejuvenating rubber shoes and sandals
The long slits that appear between sole
and upper in rubber overshoes disappear
by the application of a strip Of plaster:
strengthened by the use of the same
serviceable material. Even leather
shoes have been known to extend their
time of life by this treatment
Rubber chemistry and work aprons,
rubber gloves-in fact, any article Of
firm consistency and reasonable thick
ness-can be mended better by plaster
than by sewing, which tears the un-
yielding goods. Sometimes 1t IS best to
heat the plaster slightly before using,
so as to get hrmer grip.
But in general 1t holds on like grim
death, and is. In fact, the bulldog of
fabrics-faithful to dissolution. A few
wide strips of plaster and roll of ad-
hesive tape are household necessities
that no woman who cares for the neat
ness and integrity of her home utensils
will be without.

A DHESIVE plaster, which comes
~ wrapped in gauze in various
4 \ widths for surgical use, is a very
serviceable household article also. In
Vulnerable are the things, too stiff or
too unwieldy for sewing, that may be
mended with 1t.
The rubber raincoat is one of these.
One girl of my acquaintance got an ugly
rent in the front of her raincoat, where
1t would show most. Fortunately, she
thought of her plaster, and by care
fully placing the edges of the tear to-
gether and pressing the plaster firmly
against them in back. she mended the
hole in such way as to hide the fact
that it had ever been there. Surplus
plaster was cut away with pair of
manicure scissors.
The same Is true of umbrellas. An UNI
brella is an ugly thing to sew, but a
little plaster, painted black If necessary,
though usually 1t will not show through.
will mend any tear without trouble.
Moreover the plaster will take the place
Of glue If the umbrella handle becomes
loosened. It should be wrapped around
the stem with the adhesive side out,
and the hollow handle pressed down
For intending hosing, plaster is inval-
liable and really the only thing that
will do the work well. 1t should be
wrapped tightly around and around the
break until the hose is again absolute
ly waterproof. The plaster has even
been used for mending a broken water
pine and will hold the lead for hours
or days, until the plumber comes.

The Uses of Corset Cord

in the bureau set-pincushions. bureau
scarfs, ribbons and collar-piQ cases-can
be made on the same principle.
The cord makes pretty daisies for ap-
pliaue trimming. each loop being sep
arate petal and the flower being finished
of with a bit of embroidered yellow, or
padded yellow silk, for the center.
Sometimes a rough brown button is even
more effective. OF course. the cord may
be dyed any color desired. and so any
many-petaled flower can be produced.
These cord rings are nice, too, in the
tea cozy. which is growing in popularity
as we become more and more tea
drinking nation. 1t is made like a
slashed bag and fits down over the pot.
The shade rings on the end OF the
shade cord can be made out of single
circle, and look very pretty with the
white moire or light silk shades
Covered with clear shellac. these cor
set cords are used to cover boxes. so as
TO form collar and work boxes and glove
and handkerchief cases. They are very
quaint and attractive. and the shellac
keeps them clean without washing. The

and keeps its form If 1t has been stoutly
sewed with heavy thread.

work, a way OF making articles pretty

@ORsET cord. which may be bought
In any width and length. has many
~ uses that no one Of this generation
knows of, though it was popular forty
years ago.
The work is done by twisting and
winding the cord in a spiral, sewing to-
gether the circle thus formed. and then
sewing these various circles so as to
make the articles desired.
There are table mats. FOR instance,
used in these days of no tableclothS
to keep the hot dishes from spelling the
wood. Here the cord rings are simply
sewed In an oval or oblong shape and
ornamented with border of much
smaller circles. A whole set of various
sizes may be made in this way.
Baby hammocks, small enough to use
for personal belongings when travelling,
or large enough to keep real baby In
the open air, are made of a double layer
of the cord rings finished with stout
woven string at either end.
Napkin rings might easily be ones
first experiment. Only one row of the
circles Is used, about seven or eight or
them being sewed around into ring
Handkerchief cases, with the white
cord sewed over brightly colored silk
