They can be quickly cleaned by rubbing with a damp cloth. * * * ' Frosting Windows.—First paint glass with thin coat of white paint. Then, starting at the top and working down, dab the window with a piece of rubber sponge until the desired effect is obtained. * * * * Fishy Pans.—To clean a pan in which fish has been cooked, empty tea leaves from teapot into it; add water and boil for a few minutes; empty and rinse,. * * * * Door Stops.—Screw an empty reel to the floor, thus preventing injury to the wall from doorknob.
