HOUSEHOLD
HINTS
THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

To make nice sick room shoes in
which you can step around softly,
cut from old felt hats sole and heel
pieces. glue these on and you have a
quieter shoe than those sold as nurses
shoes. The patter of little feet, so
hard on some folks nerves. is easily
deadened by the same method, also
helping to keep their little feet warm
when playing on cold floor.
When taking young baby out, slip
your rubber sheet in a pillow case
and take it along; you need never
worry about putting your baby down
on nice spread or a pillow.
To Clean Duck or Goose-Do not
scald feathers, but pick them dry in
this manner: Pick downward with the
feathers-never upward against the
feathers-and with thumb pressing
against flesh of fowl in a rubbing man
ner. taking the down and feathers Off
at same time, leaving the flesh entire
clear of all down as you go along This
way has been tried time and time
again by an old duck hunters wife.

when you are growing you will not
keep fresh and young looking.
Take my advice. Stay at home
from dances. Have no beaux. Go to
bed early, study and learn in every
way so that you can grow up to be
useful women of real service in the
world This is the only excuse one
has to live-to be useful.
Wear your hair as children should,
with ribbons on the sides or on top.
