Old Hats: If Col. o. E. D. is really
interested in salvaging old hats, the
felt ones may be cut into triangles,
diamonds, etc., and arranged in
lovely geometric designs like grand
mothers patchwork quilts. If they
are sewn together securely with col
ored thread they make nice hassock
tops or cushion covers.
Cool Drink: We save bits of
fruit juices and use them in milk
shakes, which are favorites at our
house. There is usually more juice
in various canned fruits than one
needs for dessert Add sufficient
suger to the juice and stir it thor
oughly before adding the milk. This
prevents a curd from forming I
usually put cup of fruit juice in a
quart fruit jar, add four tablespoons
of sugar more if you like it extra
sweet and teaspoon of vanilla.

Shift Schedule: Do any of you
efficient housekeepers have a sched-
ule worked out for home where the
man of the house works days half
the time and nights the other half?
My husband changes shifts every

systematic person, am frantically
trying to discipline myself to some
sort of schedule. Also, how can one
train herself to put things away as
she finishes using them? am con-

blame but myself.
