Household Scrapbook j | BY ROBERTA LRR , < Stockings If you find that you are continually darning the toes of your stockings, try buying a half-size larger and see if this, does not remedy the difficulty. Our feet are inclined to spread as we get older and we continue wearing the same size stocking too long. Irons Irons will not rust when they are packed away for any length of time if they are rubbed with a little fat that contains no salt, such as mutton fat Then wrap them in brown paper. Wall Tapestries Brush the tapestries that hang on the wall with a furniture brush each time the room is cleaned and it will be a long time before they are actually soiled. , ( Seasonings The compentent cook always has on hand a great variety of seasonings and flavorings to add zest to her cooking. This is not an extravagance, as these articles last a long time and seldom have to be replaced. Mashed Potatoes When mashed potatoes must be kept for awhile before serving, place them in a double boiler over hot water, on the back of the range, and they will keep hot and fluffy. The Cellar Stairs Much of the tracked soot on the kitchen linoleum can be avoided by placing rubber stair treads on the cellar steps.
