FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Practical Old knit underwear can be utilized in various ways, especially the woolen. Nice wash and bath cloths can be made from it by crocheting the edges around with tiny yarn. It can also be used in self wringing mops of’simply as floor cloths by doubling and stitch-’ Ing with tidy yarn. Save all your salt bags. They not only make nice jelly bags, but several put together and stitched on the machine make good dishcloths or washcloths. Gloves that will take the place o( rubber gloves when working in the garden or washing dishes are made by dipping old gloves into hot linseed oil, which renders them waterproof. Black lace can be freshened to look like new by washing tn water Into which has been put a little ammonia, then rinsed In strong coffee.— Housekeeper.

Kitchen Notes. To thicken gravies and stocks add a pinch of halt to the flour. It will prevent lumps and make the gravies even. When celery is needed for any kind of salad, such as chicken or lobster, dip It with scissors instead of cutting It with a knife. It saves half the work for a busy housekeeper. When meat becomes scorched In the kettle set the kettle and contents immediately into a pan of cold water and let It remain for about five minutes. When the meat is treated In this way no scorched taste can be detected

To Loosen Glass Stoppers. To loosen glass stoppers put a drop of Sweet oil around the edge of the stopper, then place the bottle near the fire until It becomes warm, when a light blow with a wooden Instrument on each side of the stopper generally will loosen It. If, however. It should not, repeat the oil and heat applications until successful. The resistance of glass jars that refuse to open can be overcome by setting them top downward in an inch or two of hot water. Fried Apples. These are also excellent served with any form of pork. Select large, firm apples, rather tart, and wash without paring. Core, cut In slices half an inch thick, then brown in pork fat or butter, turning with a pancake turner so as not to break. They should be tender, but not broken. If preferred a trifle sweet sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the uncooked side just before turning. Fried apples are especially nice with fried pork or sausage.

Rack In Scrub Bucket. A rack on the scrub bucket for holding soap, brush and cloth will be recognized at once by the scrubwoman and general housekeeper as a great convenience. The worker who is' mov-

ing around from point to point experiences an aggravating annoyance of becoming separated from the soap cup —that is, she works alongi pulling the bucket after her, but she often overlooks the soap cup and has to retrace her steps to recover it. With the rack secured to the bucket, as shown in the accompanying cut. the trio—woman, bucket and soap—travel together. The rack Is the subject of a recent invention, and it will be readily seen how it is secured to the bucket. It offers ample facilities for holding all the necessary appurtenances of the scrubber.

Sewing Hints. Use double thread for gathering. Use as fine a thread and needle as the garment will allow. When threading your needle make the knot on the end broken from the reel. The rule for frilling is to allow one and a half the length of the edge to be trimmed. When sewing on a button place the knot on the right side of the cloth directly under the button.
