ORDERLY SPOOLS OF THREAD
What busy housewife and mother has not occassionally sighed over the entanglement into which the contents of her sewing basket have got themselves. Articles which are not held by some device cannot be expected to stay .in their places for very long. Now a German company has devised a clever method of keeping order in the sewing basket, at least so far as the spools of cotton are concerned. For this purpose it has furnished its sewing table with a draw containing a row of small spikes on which the reels are placed, according to the strength, colour, or material of the cotton. The ends of the cotton ore drawn forward and threaded through a device which holds them tight and is equipped with a small blade. All the housewife has to do is to take hold of the end of the cotton she desires, draw out as much of it as she needs, and then press down the blade which cuts it off. Thus much time and inconvenience are saved.
