BRAIN-WAVES WITH VELVET.
Make a table polisher to use on your polished table after meal times. Nowadays, when nearly every house does without tablecloths, we need something of the sort to pass over the surface of the .table after meals. Make it this wise : Buy, if vo\i have not got such a thing, a door knob; you can get one for a few pence at anv ironmongers. Make a miniature beret of two circles of velvet —two different colours will do—measuring in diameter about six to eight inches, sufficiently wide to guard the hand when clenched over the knob, tut a small hole in the centre of one circle, and in sert through it some odd lags or kapok to stuff it, not too tightly. Now, insert the lower part of the floor knob in the hole, and sew it firmly into place. You can use this with a scoop for removing crumbs, if you like; it is very good for that purpose.
