HOUSEHOLD NOTES
Eiderdowns and cushions which are placed in the sun to ‘rise” should bo covered with oue thickness of news paper, which prevents their colour fad ing in the strong light. Evening shoes can be kept in shape very satisfactorily by stuffing the toes with old silk stockings, which are softer and more pliant than tissue paper. Another use for old silk stockings is to make a pad of several thicknesses, which is ideal as a shoe polish er or for general household polishing. A simple way to banish flics from a room is to heat a poker and put it on a piece of camphor* which will give off fumes that are most disagreeable to flies or other insect pests.
