USES FOR THE DARNENG EGG
Well Described as Household Friend
Many Ways in Which 1t Can
Be Employed.

A darning egg may be household
friend, at least to the mending mem
bers Of the household.
Darns in sleeves can be much more
neatly repaired if the break is
stretched over small black darning
egg.
The egg can likewise be slipped in
to trouser pockets that have torn and
make their mending much simpler A
torn place in the crown of hat or in
a portion of the trimming can also
be repaired quickly by using darn
ing egg.
When the darning egg cannot be
found for mending purposes the break
can be stretched over the top of a
small egg cup. Thus held taut it can
be neatly darned. This is particularly
good for holes in lace, which must be
repaired by working as nearly as may
be in the mesh stitches.
