~ Ew REALIZE the many sources
of help paper is to the household
One seldom considers its useful
ness, except to wrap up packages
and start the fire. When sweeping, II
bits of paper dampened with water are
scattered over the carpet, the loose
dust will adhere to 1t.
The summer months make extra
laundry work necessary, says the New
York Press. During the fruit season
extra table linen is demanded, and the
stains are sometimes impossible to re-
move. Why not substitute paper doll
les and napkins for the ones of linen?
They may be had in great variety of
designs closely resembling linen, and
they look we'll on the table. Clean,
and inexpensive enough to be thrown
away after use, they should be great
help. ...
Nothing produces such unclouded
polish to a mirror or window glass as
paper. The soft tissue paper is better
for this purpose, absorbing the moist
ure more quickly.
When you remove a cake which is a
beautiful brown on top only to find it
burned and black, it is extremely an
noying. Line your cake tins with
creased or waxed paper and this ca
tastrophe will be prevented.
Waxed paper is excellent to wrap
sandwiches or cake when you desire
to keep them fresh. 1t excludes the
air, therefore making it impossible for
them to dry out.
A piece of stiff wrapping paper
twisted to form a cornucepia answers
the purpose<of funnel when filling
bottles.
A coat hanger may be tmprovised
from a newspaper in the following
manner: Fold a newspaper through
the center and continue folding or
rolling it until it is a compact piece
about three inches wide. Bend it
downward in the middle and tie with
cord, forming loop. 1t will answer
the same good purpose as hanger of
wood or metal.

sleeves and bodice of a gown will pre-
serve the lines of the dress when it is

The very large amount Of meat which
