PRACTICAL USES FOR CHEESE CLOTH.
Numerous are the useful purposes to which cheese-cloth may be put. Pine cheese-cloth makes very dainty curtains, and may be dyed to match the furnishings of a room. When curtains are laundered they should be starched slightly. Squares and small bags of cheese-
cloth make excellent strainers for tea and coffee. Larger bags with a I draw-string may be uscyd to hold together small articles through the washing and boiling. Again, three yards of cheese-cloth makes a capital drying hammock if the cloth is folded lengthways and a tape attached to each of the four corners. In this hammock little garments, like children's socks and stockings, handkerchiefs, and so on, may be placed to dry in the sun. They should be slipped into the open side of the folded cloth, which should be tight enough to hold them securely between its two thin sides, safe from being blown away. Squares of cheese-cloth, weighted in the corners with beads, make nice milk-covers; a square of cheese-cloth, wetted with kerosene and allow r ed to dry, and the process repeated, makes a fine dustless duster; and for wiping delicate glass and china nothing is better than cheese-cloth, which also makes capital dish-cloths and windowcloths.
