EASY MENDING.

The actual mending Is only half
OF the diflculty. Getting the mend

down to the mending is the other
half. When ono wears unmended
clothes it is usually because they

thimble, the right color thread, per-
haps a button, q hook and eye or a
tape. These things would take time,
and 30 the garment has to be worn
Especially if you dislike mending
and sewing generally, have your
mending equipment placed very con-
veniently. A good idea is to have a
mending corner in your room. This
by day or night. A little table or
stand should serve to hold your
equipment and there should be a
small chair for your convenience.
In the top drawer Of your stand
have spool case, or the spool case
may rest on top Of the stand. These
spool cases may be bought, or you
may make one by driving long nails
into a smooth board 1T regular in

way Of keeping them whore you will

should contain q button box. a box
with assorted sizes OF hooks and eyes
and snappers. There should be tape
of black and white and pieces of plain
white material for mending and REIN
forcing mends. A piece beg. con-
tanning scraps of various garments
in use should be at hand.
1t Is a convenience always to leave
a needle threaded with white and one
with black on the pin cushion in the
mending drawer. Then when the time
comes that you must mend something
in the minimum of time you need not
spend precious time threading your

The Kwangsi people themselves have

the Cantonese to drive the militarists
out of the province. Besides organic

the Canton armies, they have carried

their fellow clansmen Of the good In
