HANGING CHINA PLATES

By means of strong, fairly thin string ,and ordinary dress hooks, china plates and saucers can be hung on the walls and inside cabinets -without the expense of buying wire frames The string must be rather shorter than the circumference of the plate, when allowance has to be made for a knot, and from three to six hooks are necessary, according to the size of the plate. The string is threaded through loops of the hooks, the ends securely knotted, and the hooks fixed on the rim of the plate, at equal distances from each other, leaving about one-third of the rim free at the top. If the plate, when hanging by the string on a nail, does not lie flat against the wall, either the string is too short or the hooks are not in the correct place, and should be moved round the plate until this is discovered.
