When washing chamois or other leather
gloves, put a tablespoon of castor oil or
olive oil into the soapy water. The gloves
will be soft and easy to put on when dry.

Your hat won’t fall off the coat-closet
hook if you place a small sponge rubber
ball over the hook. If you buy brightly
colored small balls it adds a decorative
touch.

Mrs. PETER ZEEBEN,
Watson, Sask.

Make a once-turned shirt collar last just
a little longer. On the worn side that is
to be turned to the back slip-stitch around
three edges of a strip of bias fold tape or
any light cotton with raw edges tucked
under to completely cover worn spots.
Simply include fourth edge when sewing
collar in place. This reinforcement pre-
vents the now-turned-to-the-front side of
the collar from rubbing on the stiff collar
neckline.

Mrs. GEorGE WILSON,
Saskatoon, Sask.

Unstained garments, such as overcoats, |

can be cleaned at home. Collars may need
sponging, but after that is attended to the
clothes should be hung on the line and
gone over inside and out with a vacuum
cleaner. They should be left in the open
air a few hours.

Mrs. Ipa MacAu.ay,
Glace Bay, N.S.

It is a good idea to quilt the shoulder
pads of cotton dresses and blouses when
they are new. This will prevent the filling
from lumping when the garment is washed.

To remove shoe polish from clothing
rub with white vinegar.

Mrs. VIOLET LOGAN,
St. Boniface, Man.

Put small woollen clothing in brown
paper bags or plastic ones and run across
the openings of the bag with the sewing
machine. This will keep moths away if
you have thoroughly cleaned the things
you have stored.

Mrs. J. SLATor,
Norwood, Man.

To keep suede shoes from collecting
dust, place them in large-sized plastic
bags after each wearing and brushing.

Mrs. ALBERT R. ANDERSON,
Virden, Man.

Pack a pleated skirt in a stocking and
see how well it travels. Cut the foot out
and draw the skirt through the leg. Lay
it flat in the suitcase.

Mrs. G. E. BALL,
Winnipeg, Man.

To perk up last year’s felt hat give it a
good brushing. Hold it over the spout of
the tea kettle and turn it slowly so the
steam gets at it all. If you are afraid it
will shrink you can dry it on your own
head. Best to remove any fancy trimming
or veiling before you steam.

Mrs. G. AMMETER,
Dufresne, Man.
