HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Clothes lines and pegs will not only last much longer but will collect- dust less readily if they are boiled for a few minutes when they are new. If after a day’s shopping or walking on heated pavements the feet are tired, painful, or blistered, the juice of a lemon well rubbed into them will afford relief. Whole clovos will answer the purpose of moth balls if sprinkled plentifully among clothing in drawers and boxes. In some cases they do their work even better than camphor or naphthalin. Do not soak coloured things before washing. Soap, wash, rinse, and hang them out to dry as quickly as possible!. Add a tablespoonful of vinegar to bring up the colour, and do not use blue. New silk stockings should be wash- » ed before they are put on for the first time, and, whenever possible, two or three pairs should be used on alternate days and rinsed out after they have been worn. Stockings which are worn three or four days in succession wear out quickly, for perspiration stiffens i the material and causes it to break into i holes.
