HAVE YOU EVER TRIED THIS?
When cutting flimsy materials such as soft silk, georgette or sheer pin the material to a firm sheet of paper and cut both together. You will then get a straightedge.
To pick up fine pieces of broken glass use a piece of cotton-wool moistened with water. Every fragment will cling to the cotton-wool. Instead of tacking adjoining strips of linoleum, cut a strip of canvas about three inches wide, cover one side with liquid glue, lay this under the edge of first strip of lino (leaving half canvas exposed), glued side up, and place next strip of lino edge to edge with first piece so that both edges meet on the canvas. It will hold edges neatly together and need no tacks.
Orange-juice added to tomato soup is a big improvement; so is a sprinkling of ground nutmeg on steak-and-kidney pudding or pie. The tiniest spot of vanilla essence in cocoa is delicious.
