After we have done all we can
to simplify life it might be a good
idea to take look at our mental

HELPFUL SUGGESTION
from Mrs. D. c., Wdshinoton. }


The following is a contribution
for the RICH. If any one is ready to
discard old slip covers of the knitted
type, which were stretched on to
make a snug fit over settees and
overstuffed chairs, T have a sugges-
ton as to using them. The best use,
and very Misunderstanding one, is to
make the usable portions into polo
shirts" and dresses, with long sleeves
for warmth, for the overseas relief
needs. I trimmed off all seams fiat
tened into remnants, washed, and
pressed straight, my set. I then cut
into polo shirts, long sleever, using
a slip-over sweater as substitute
pattern, since I had no polo shirts
with long sleeves handy. I believe
the greater stretch should be hori-
|zontally across the body, and cuffs,
and vertically in the sleeves. Make
IA V-neck, which will just allow the
head to 60 through, and these
sweater type shirts will be suitable
for either girl or boy. Bind the
neck with the less stretchy direc-
tion of the strip of material. This
may sound confusing, but any one
with any sewing knowledge can
make an easy job of it, and, I hope,
will be glad to give an occasional
hour to helping our shivering neigh
bors.

NEW IRONS?
(From Mrs. E. A. M., Washington.
I'm wondering If any one of our
readers has purchased and used the
new hand iron which "tips up" on a
triangular point for ironing small
things, and can also be used for
regular ironing of large pieces? Is
1t convenient, practical, and a great
improvement over the straight, fiat
sole-plate type? Has any one used
the iron that rests on legs when not
in use, also? I am to receive a new
iron for my wedding anniversary
and can't decide which one to have
purchased.
Also does portable electric ironer
roller type) take the place, fully, of
a hand ffon or does one still have to
have hand iron in addition?
