HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TRIS?
When the cane or leather seat of a chair wears out replace it.'by a seat hiauc from an old motor inner-tube. ■Cut strips about an inch wide and long enough to reach across the ehairseat, opening, interlace these and lack to the edges with 'brass-headed' tacks. ■ When you come in with dusty .or muddy shoes clean them before putting them back in their place. If you *have no time as that moment put them m some prominent place so that they won't be forgotten; then when next you are in a hurry to go out you will not be upset to find your shoes “must i>e cleaned” and perhaps miss your appointment.
I find it a great time-saver to wind the four skeins for socks into one big ball, splicing the ends as they come along with the slight-moistened-by-finger-and-tongue method. They get well pressed into the ball and I can then set to work uninterruptedly so far as joins are concerned.
