many grooves are made the dishes
are sure to slip and chip. Many
housekeepers say they would rather
have a dish actually broken than
nicked.
In order to prevent this chipping
a pad could be made. To be very
economical why not crochet the pad
of plain ordinary string? A loose
double crochet stitch would go the
fastest. Make the pad just the size
of the shelf. Carpet warp might also
be used.

The reason this rate can be made IS
that the new route Of the Western
