Suspenders will not cause holes in stockings if a chain'stitch is worked in silk or thread on the wrong side of the stocking at the spot where the rubber botton grips it.

Very dirty decanters which will not come clean with ordinary washing can often be treated in this way. Halffill the decanter with warm water, to \yhich a teaspoonful of salt and one of vinegar have been added. Allow to stand for several hours, shaking it occasionally. Afterwards rinse it in cold water, then drain and dry.
