Keeping Flies Out
Dear Aunt Daisy, May I offer a suggestion for your "Daisy Chain"-a means whereby flies are kept out of the home? Front-Door Way: I bought 54% yards of hospital gauze at 1ld a yard. It is cut in half and hemmed top and bottom to form 2 long curtains. The two are sewn together in the middle; and a curtain rod in the top, and small boards 6in. square placed in the lower wide hem, which reaches level with the floor. Back Door-way: A single-bed unbleached sheet was sufficient for my back door. By this means I have kept my house cool and fresh, and almost free from flies-almost an
impossibility in this hot town.-
