TO PLACE A PLANO FROM
A MUSICAL STANDPOINT

The proper placing Of an upright piano
in a room of moderate size is to turn It
at right angles to the side wall. leaving
room between the keyboard and the op-
posite wall for the player. Then stand
a table, If possible an old-fashioned ma
hogany one with folding leaf which can
be turned up against the back of the
piano. There must, of course. be some
drapery to cover the unpublished back Of
the piano. A piece of good-looking tap
estry. brocaded silk. embroidered crepe,
or even of cretonne, draped loosely over
the top and back, but not laid in set
folds, would be suitable. On the table
stand a plant, bit of pottery. a brass
candlestick. or possibly a lamp.
From musical standpoint the piano
is placed in the best position. for the
notes are free instead of mufied.

ODDS AND ENDS.

Hamburg steak Is often a dry and taste
less dish. The addition Of two or three
tablespoonfuls of cream or fresh milk
and few bread crumbs makes 1t Juicy
and delicious. Never buy IL already
chopped, as 1t is usually made of odds
and ends of the shop. but buy round steak
and chop IT at home. Season well and
do not overlook.
When sending a stamp in a letter. in
stead of moistening one corner and stick
ing 1t TO the paper. moisten a small spot
in the center Of the stamp and then affix
1t to your letter. The removal of a
small part of the adhesive substance
from the center in no way impairs the
usefulness Of the stamp, whereas IL is
often torn If the corner is fastened.
A good weighted brush for polishing
floors may be made from a worn-out
carpet sweeper. Remove the brush and
place brick inside instead. fastening
1t by wires to keep 1t from slipping; then
cover the sweeper all over with a piece
Of heavy carpet The swing OF the
handle will give the brush an easy mo-
ton.
Most people think it necessary when
peeling tomatoes to pour boiling water
over them in order that the skin may be
easily removed. This method is apt to
leave the tomatoes soft. A much bet
ter way is 10 rub the tomato with the
back edge Of a silver knife: this loesens
the skin and makes It easy to remove

When stubborn spot upon a burned
kettle refuses to move through the aid
Of wire dishcloth, use a piece Of sand-
paper. 1t is a splendid aid in cleaning
gas stoves. Fold a piece over a knife
and you can quickly remove all grease
or dried food that sticks to the corners.
