HOUSEHOLD HINTS
MAKE A NOTE OF THEM
A working apron should always have an extra large pocket. Going from room to room picking up small articles for removal will be simplified. It is one of the useful devices that are often overlooked.
During wet weather the drying of washed clothes that cannot be put through the wringer will be simplified if they are rolled in a rough, dry towel for a while before hanging them up.
lodine stains are not a great problem for the hands, but absorbed by material it is necessary to soak them in ammonia.
Lace curtains are easily damaged when being washed. To avoid this fold them lengthwise and then across to form a square, tack the edges all round with strong cottong, and wash, boil, dry, and iron. The square is easily handled; it means the simplification of an awkward job. Brown sugar dissolved in warm milk' makes an excellent glaze for pastry.
