Some Useful “Gadgetts”

i By MRS. HAMILTON j

Many pf the little “gadgets” on the market have been designed to help the who wishes to do a little laundering on her own. There ii f for example, a small travelling . iron which is heated by petrplj there is also a small folding ironing board covered with white flannel which makes it possible to “get up” organdies arid muslins without the aid of the laundress. A neat little wire frame is handy when a silk or woollen jumper has to be dried off indoors. There is a hook at the top so that the garment can be hung by the window or on the mantelpiece. It takes up scarcely any room, and may save many a garment from becoming misshapen after washing. Telescopic dress-hangers, contained in a neat little case, afe a boon’to the woman who values her tailor-made suits, while 4n ingenious little clothes-brush with a wooden handle will provide another coat-hanger if required. As for the travelling ‘‘gadgets” for making a eup of tea, theii/ name is legion. Tins of solidified spirit are strong enough to hold a small kettle with a folding handle, and are useful for heating the travelling curling-tongs. Teaspoons that open to receive the tea-leaves do away with the necessity for a teapot.
