HOW TO REPAIR STRAW MATING

Dear Editor and Socal Cornerites: l read a simple article in a paper that all the sisters may not have seen, and as 1t helped me l will pass it along. When your straw mating gets worn in the center, rip out the ends where IT is turned over cut through center raVel out each half about one-half of what the turned under part would be and tie the ends together, not too many threads or strands at time and no seam will show. nor will there be any thickness
 just tried it on matting and on a carpet, and was well paid for time and trouble
 Have also turned my curtains end for end. wiping with a damp cheese cloth bag filled with oatmeal.
