it is past its first stage Of usefulness as
a travelling companion. And those who
have made its acquaintance as a gen.

purchase new cases of gray linen to
substitute the wornout leather ones.
Sniff, if you will. those of you who

foot to push 1t beneath the sitting room

For this purpose the large flannel

A Hearth Broom

TT AVE you fireplace that you like
RI to keep nicely brushed up, or any
- other little corner that needs oc-
casional busting? A hearth brush is a
very easy thing to make, a useful thing
to have and an attractive addition to the
furniture of any fireplace, colonial or
modern The real ones are not, l be-
lieve, to be had in this part of the coun-
try. although almost any Virginia darky
will be glad to make you one for the
asking. Try making it yourself.
Go or send to some broom factory for
a handful of the longest broomcorn
stalks. You may be lucky enough to
get them nearly three feet long, but
twenty inches or two feet will be plenty
long enough, and 10 cents will fully
cover the price. Take as many as you
can grasp In one hand. say a bundle as
thick as your wrist. and soak the stems
in water for an hour. Hot water is
best. This will make them swell a little,
but will make them far softer and
easier to work with.
Now take ordinary brown binder or
wrapping Irvine, the rougher the better,
make a slipnoose around the bundle be-
low the middle, holding the stems up
permost and the broom end on the
ground. and wind tightly, as tightly as
you can pull the Irvine, making a collar
Of twdne about an inch long. The ends
can be secured by sewing them into the
stems with a mattress needle or thrust
ing them through with a hairpin Make
another collar like it about halfway up,
and a third two or three inches from
the butt end Of the stems, and your
broom is done and ready for use as soon
as dry. And you will have a real south
ern hearth broom, practically indie
strucuble and better looking than any
you can buy in the shops.
