Tipless Shoestrings.-If metal
tips come off of shoe strings dip
them in mucilage. This will stiff
fen the ends and make it easy to
put them through eyelets.
For Salty Gravy.-Put pieces of
toasted bread into soups or
gravies which are too salty, take
them out in a few minutes, and it
will be found that the bread has
absorbed a good portion of the
salt.
Chilled Fruit Juices.-Store a
jar of fruit juices in the refrigera-
tor for emergency use in hot
weather. Add a few mint leaves.
Then serve the juices in chilled
beverages or mix them into des-
serts to be frozen. Such juices
may be stored for four or five

But the possibilities of this idea
are almost endless. The way to
go about it is to take some treas
ured bibelot, group it with one or
two other objects to make an artistic
arrangement, then have a deep
frame built for them and cover the
back wall within the frame area
with a suitable and interesting col
or. Don't balance the grouping too
exactly-for instance, if you have a
pair of bibelots with vase in the
center, the flowers in the vase can
droop little to one side to take the
stiff edge off.
A large shadow box is suitable for
an important wall over sofa or
over mantel, or a small one to

For Mosquito Bites.-A little
household ammonia added to the
water with which mosquito bites
are washed will remove the sting.
Oil Up!-Don't forget to oil your
vacuum cleaner and electric
washer. Oiling keeps them in
good condition, and they wear
longer.
When Making Blueberry Pie
Mix one teaspoon of ground nut
meg with two tablespoons of flour
and sprinkle the mixture on the
berries, then add sugar.
A Household Necessity.-A knife
sharpener is as essential a piece
of household equipment as the cof-
fee pot. Not even an expert
carver is able to do much with
a dull knife.
Cut Flowers With Razor Blade.
Take a safety razor blade with
you when you go into the garden
to cut flowers. 1t is more salts
factory than scissors for cutting
delicate flower stems.

Identifying Sheets.-If you use
sheets of two different sizes, one
for single and one for double beds,
fold sheets for double beds in a
large square and those for a sim
gle bed in smaller squares. You
will then have no difficulty in
finding the right sheets.

The plan: Disposal of farm

Today, while large segment of

themselves facing chaos because of

Weather and other factors gave
citrus fruit growers last year the
biggest crops of oranges and grape

g" HEN is picture on wall not

when it's a shadow box. A number
of decorators of late have been Gre
ating pictures with graceful small
objects that make lovely still-life
groupings. These are arranged on
a shelf framed with deep mold
ing and usually with the wall back of
it covered with a deep-toned velvet.
The effect is actually that of pic
ture.
We've seen the idea developed eff
fectively with a turquoise vase hold
ing pale pink flowers and pair of
old Chinese fgurines against back
ground of mauve velvet and framed
with wide white moulding. An
other charming shadow box held
