Speaking of paper cups recalls that
one woman has successfully used
paper dishes In her ice box and else

with the finished edges like the old
fashioned kind we know, which hung
over in lacy festoons), a roll of firm
white paper, just the width Of the
kitchen shelf or the bureau drawer.

paper the exact size. and 1t is only

Outside the kitchen, too, paper is
finding new uses. and paper pads for
children's cribs are far more sub
stanual than they may sound, and
are both warm and absorbent. and
particularly good to take along when
travelling. While paper napkins for
babies may not entirely supersede
those of cotton, when used in con-
nection with them they save con-
siderable laundry.
One of the newer developments of
paper is the "centerpiece roll" which
is roll of soft paper made especi-
ally on which to wrap pieces Of fine
linen, doilieS, center pieces, etc. The
roll Is so made that II encloses and
wraps the doilies and Is then fast
ened with a special tab and fasten-
ers, so that it can be laid carefully
away in our linen drawer, The same
idea is carried out in the linen EN-
velope," which holds tablecloths or
napkins. and which saves these
articles from becoming mussed as they
lie in the drawer, and which owing
to their dark blue color, also pre-
serve the linen from turning yellow
Whether a woman does her own
work or employs a maid, she will

here mentioned could be added to her
