and fastened with thumb tacks you
will find no difficulty in keeping it
free from dust, and the plain white
surface is help when cutting gar
ments from dark materials.
When doing fine sewing or en-
broidering or anything that requires
close attention the strain on the eyes
will be much lessened If a dress or
apron is worn Of a color contrasting
with the work in hand. If it is white
wear black apron; If black wear a
white one, especially when sewing at
night. When needleworker arrives
at the age when the threading of a
needle is strain on her eyes and
patience let her adopt the crewel
needle for all kinds Of sewing.
For short lengths or piecework,
where you don't care to bother with
putting the ruffler on the sewing ma
chine, simply lengthen the stitch a
little and loosen the upper tension.
Then stitch just as you would If the
ruffler were on, and the bobbin
thread will be found to make a per-
feet goffering thread on which the
fabric may be drawn up to any de-
sired fullness.
When cutting garments from pat
terms that you expect to use again
mark plainly on each pattern the ex-
act amount Of material that is requir-
ed. Frequently by careful cutting and
little piecing an amount Of material
less than the directions call for can
be utilized, and a glance will tell lust
the amount you need when you wish
to purchase material again.

Sewing Room Wrinkles.

If your colored silk thread gives
out when you lack only two or three
inches Of finishing tie the thread as
soon as it leaves the spool to an or
dinary spool Of cotton thread; then
it is possible to sew distance of ex-
actly ten inches more. The knot
goes through all the openings except
the needles eye, and by being attach
ed to the spool the thread is held taut.
Do not cut your sewing machine
belt when it gets loose Instead put a
few drops of pure castor oil ON the
band, run the machine few minutes.
and the belt will be tightened.

To Clean Carpets

To remove ink from a rug or car
pet Immediately sop sweet milk over
the spot and dry as much as possible
with dry cloth. Then apply gaso-
line to take out the grease that the
milk would otherwise leave. To re-
move SCOT from carpet sprinkle the
spot with salt. Let the sale remain
on the spot for about twenty minutes,
then sweep 1t hard with q broom.
The spot will disappear.

Of those old embroidered voile dresses
with the narrow skirt Of two years
back you will appreciate this way of
fixing it over into wearable frock.
From the narrow skirt, if 1t is not too
narrow, you can cut Russian blouse,
using the border Of the skirt for the
border Of the blouse. It may be nee
essary to set in side sections to widen
the blouse, but these may be tucked
and look as If they were intentional.
From the old blouse you will probably
get sleeves and enough embroidery
for collar. Then you will have to
make new skirt topping 1t with net
to the depth of the blouse and using
plain wolfe with graduated tucks for
the bottom. This extra material will
not be much expense. and the salts
faction from using up the good en-
broidery and having a new frock into
the bargain will surely outmeasure it.

Hints for Ironing Day.

With the onslaught of warm wealth
er and the wearing of wash dresses
ironing day becomes an important
feature Of the week. Even the girl
who presses her own blouses and
handkerchiefs has to consider it seri-
ously. so it may not come am1ss to
give few hints about keeping the
iron in good condition.
Never put hot iron on the back Of
the range unless you stand it on end
or lay 1t on its side, for it will other
wise collect any tiny particle of grease
or stove black that it comes in con-
tact with. Rub your irons vigorously
before you put them on to heat with
a piece Of ordinary pumice stone
slightly dampened This not only re-
moves all particles Of dirt and rust,
but polishes them and makes them
iron smoothly.
clothes be sure to put a handful Of
salt on to piece Of newspaper and
rub your iron in this from time to
time to remove the starch that ad-
heres to the hot metal.
In pressing crepe de chine,
georgette crepe or any thin silk use
an iron that Is fairly cool. as a very
hot iron wrinkles the material and
takes the color out. In pressing rib
poHs wipe tnem with a cool iron, u.s.
ing piece Of linen or handkerchief
to protect the ribbon. A dampened
ribbon ironed with a hot iron will
turn very stiff, but If fairly cool one
Is used will remain supple and
smooth.
If you want white shirt waist
fairly stiff, but not starched, iron it
with hot iron while it Is very wet.
Pongee also must be ironed while wet,
as otherwise 1t will not be spotless.
II you want the pongee very soft.
however, let it dry and then iron 1t
without sprinkling, using strength to
press out the wrinkles. Never dampen
pongee as the spots will show.
II you want to keep your plated
frills looking like new. baste the bot
tom or the edge into place before you
wash them, the plaits can thus be
readily ironed back into place, and
then the basting may be removed.
