Linoleum Scraps
When linoleum is laid, a few odd pieces are usually left over. Small scraps that will not serve any other purpose are excellent for iirelighting. Larger pieces may be used with advantage for covering shelves near the sink in the kitchen or scullery. If the pattern and colours are suitable, pieces may also bo used in the bathroom for shelves or window-ledges. Tho baize top of an old card table may be recovered w'ith linoleum. The tablo is then suitable either for garden or for kitchen use. A loose piece, 10 to 12 inches across, kept at hand in the kitchen, is a useful protective mat on which to stand pans when they are lifted off the stove or while they are being scoured. Coal boxes do not wear out so quickly at tho bottom if a piece, of linoleum is cut to lit inside them.
