HOMELY HINTS.
Cutting out Chiffon: Chiffon and other flimsy materials can be cut out more easily if pinned or tacked to thm paper. Cfeaning Straw Matting: Do not use soap tor washing straw matting, but clean it with salt and water. Rub the way of the straw only and wipe dry. The salt in the water prevents the matting turning yellow. Enamel Vessels: Do not pour cold water into enamel vessels while they are still hot from cooking- This causes the enamel to crack and peel off. Cleaning Rings: Hot lather of soap, water and ammonia will clean rings better than most anything else, using a brush to remove the dirt from the chasing and beneath the stones. Dry on a warmed towel. The secret is not to let them get so dirty before cleaning.
