A mans wooden undershrt which is
quite badly used up, tor instance, can be
made over for children by employing the
opening of the shirt for the front. and
binding or crocheting around the neck
and armholes.
This will be long enough to make an
undershirt for very little children, and the
older ones can protect their chests from
the cold air by wearing it over thin fan
nels, that are so much cheaper than the
heavier and warmer kinds, thus rendering
the latter unnecessary.
Old wooden shirtwaists, if they are of
light or bright color, can be cut over into
guimpes for the little girl Wooden. that

service in the summer Make a plain,
long waist from the good pieces in the

'lfthe disease is distributed by insects

Old STOCKINGS

No matter how often stockings are
darned and how economically they are
worn, there comes a day when they are
no longer fit to appear in public. Then
they begin to accumulate until they are
thrown out by the weary housewife.
They may be utilized. however, by
sitting down the seams. or down the
sides if they are of the seamless variety,
and basting them down to make floor
mops. The feet, of course, are cut off
they are usually the worst worn parts in
any case. For heavy floor mop. quilt
several of the stockings loosely together
after they are split, or for an ordinary dry
mop use Just one thickness Of the cloth
Another way of using the discarded
hosiery is to make of it Aatiron holders
and stove cleaners to slip over the hand
when applying the polish
