I Wonder if Everybody Knows

Good Housekeeping. I, That the best covering for a poultice or a mustard paste is tissue paper. That hands may be kept smooth in cold weather by avoiding the use of warm water; Wash them with cold water and soap. That the best and most convenient cover for a jelly tumbler is thin paper fastened over the top o&the glass by a rubber band. That the best way to clear out and straighten the fringe of towels, doilies, etc., before ironing, is is to comb it. While damp, with an inch length of coarsest toilet comb. That pleasant, rainy-day work for the older children is to be found in the making of a scrap book of the portraits of noted men and women, the portraits to be obtained from publishers’ catalogues, magazines, newspapers and other available sources.
