The woman who does not croche;
can fashion yokes for nightgowns or
,amisoles from lengths of lace sewed
together. Various kinds OF laces can
be combined in this way.
The dainty cross-stitch borders are
attractive on small guest towels.
Worked in shades Of yellow. with
green or pale blue, or in two shades
OF green, the result is admirable.
Many women select material that
has block pattern and count the
pattern out ON this instead OF using
canvas.
A most attractive scarf for the
bungalow or the veranda is made ut

Does it seem that even at its best
the washing of dishes is monoton-
Gus, disagreeable task which no
amount of planning can alleviate?
do not wonder that under certain con-
ditions such is the case. writes O. con-
tributor to the Modern Priscilla.
A housewives aversion to this occu-
patton may be wholly due to so small
a matter as the height OF her sink.
! do not know why the average sink
is Designed for the very short woman.
bWCit is so. To remedy this difficult
ty. there are racks which can be
bought to be placed under the dish
pan to raise the latter TO the desired
height. II one is net Obtainable, rest
the pan on the kitchen table or some
other support that will not necessi-
tate your STOPPING over while the dish
washing is in progress.
Again an abundance of clean hct
water is essential. There IS no excuse
for greasy. dirty water containing
fioating bits of food. Yet how many
housekeepers. who pride themselves
on their cleanliness, are guilty in this
regard! The common laws of sani-
tation demand reform.
=, to the accessories employed In
dish washing, these should be close
at hand. Besides dishpan. drainer,
and cloths, they should include sink
drl,iner, soap shaker, soap dish, wash
ing powder. gritty cleanser of some
sort, SILVER paste. and a supply of sal
