Booklets in Loose Leaf Ring Binders

By RUTH WYETH SPEARS

Vy'HENEVER I make a trip to * * New England I like to bring back something to remind me that there have been about 15 generations of homemakers in America since John Alden and Priscilla set up housekeeping in Plymouth colony. This time my treasure was the pair of ancient flat irons you see here in use as book ends for my work-room library of loose leaf binders. Setting them up reminded me that I have been wanting to show you my method of fastening booklets in ring binders. I use %-inch wide gummed tape. Pieces long are folded in half. The fold end is stuck together and punched. These tabs are placed on the rings of the binder and booklet stuck between the open ends. * * * NOTE: Here is a good suggestion for peeping the series of sewing booklets which Mrs. Spears has prepared for our readers. There are five booklets available and a new one is published every other month No. 5 contains directions for 30 different homemaking ideas, inchiding new fall curtains: useful holiday gifts, and description of the other booklets in the series. When you write for your copy of Book 5 be sure to enclose 10c to cover cost and mailing. Send order to:
