COVERING LAMP SHADE;
BREAD PUDDING.
From, Mrs. v. M. S., Clinton

To Mrs. L. E. R., Alexandra
Since 1 obtained my lamp shade
frames from those discarded by
friends, I can't tell you where they
may be purchased. However, I car
tell you how I covered them.
I used some green yarn I hao
left from a sweater and bought one
three ounce skein OF gray yarn
For my lamp shade which has a
circumference of fifty EIGHT inches
1 used six ounces of yarn. I divided
the shade into eight sections then
wrapped each section in alternate
colors. Thus I had a green strip
and gray strip and SO on. Be sure
the yarn is firmly but not tightly
stretched and that the strands do
not overlap.
For a smaller lamp put strip OF
thin cotton material tightly around
the bottom of the shade and pleated
it smoothly to fit the top of the
shade. White scotch tape held 1t
in place and was easily covered by
matching bias tape. A rufae OF eye
let embroidery around the bottom
finished the shade. I hope these
suggestions well be helpful to you

RUG TAPE: SNAPS:
HINTS; REPEAT REQUEST?
From E. L. S., Greenbelt.)
The iron-on rug tape definitely
does not hold on broadloom carpet
ing. The pile is too high and flex-
ible for the glue to hold and as it
pulls away it leaves the rug sticky
and discolored. Stores bind broad
loom remnants by using 2 twill tape
matching rug and simply tack it on
by hand. I did this to my piece OF
broadloom after the sticky tape
failed.
May I warn against the rug snaps
to hold rugs to floors similar to
grippers in clothing) they have
ruined 4 good rugs for me by simply
tearing out the corners Of my rugs.
strain is too great.
To the person who wants to ten
derize liver. My mother and I have
for years, soaked beef liver in sweet
milk for 4 hours, Toured lightly and
Drowned few minutes on each side.
1t is not possible to distinguish it
from calf liver and is always tender,
provided the tough tissue has been
removed. The sweet milk also
seems to make the liver much
milier to taste.
cut squares from the corners
Of my damaged plastic tablecloths
before discarding and use the
squares for wrapping my vegetables
to keep them separate and fresh
in the refrigerator, wrapping
dampened ironing, placing under
my small children's plates when we
eat at friends homes to protect
their linens, etc. 3.
May I repeat my request for a
store which will repair all kinds Of
watch bands here in
and where I may buy
two large lamp shade frames which
I may cover myself?
