MANAGING CLOTHESPINS.

▲ Scheme by Which to Lighten the Work on Waahday. A satisfactory way of managing clothespins Is to suspend on the clothesline the basket holding them. This Is best done by having attached to the basket a cord long enough to allow the basket to swing about waist high, the cord to have at one end a hook that may be dropped over the line. In hanging out clothes one can back up against the basket, pushing It along the line.

The hands are not full of pins, making the hanging of clothes difficult yet plenty of pins are always near, so the wind does not have a chance to blow the clothes down before they have been pinned on. By leaving the basket on the line until the clothes are removed the pins will not be scattered, time will not be wasted and vexation will be avoided.—Ladles’ Home Journal.
