THOSE OLD FELT HATS.
Before-discarding your old felt hats it is a good idea--to think if there' is anything ' at.. home '-for which a small piece of felt would come in useful. Save all the small pieces and draw tireles on them, by placing a halfpenny en the felt and running, round the edge of it with a pencil; if it is dark coloured use a red peneil or-chalk. _ .. New,:, ..cut:, these'' circles - out with ■scissors- and:glue them, on to the ends of chairs and table legs.:- This will not only save the lino, from a lot'of scratches,, but 'ihc! L furniture will:'not- make so-,,.much :»Di.Be--'.wheii. moved; be careful how yon'handle things-,till the-'glue lias-set, otherwise, tlsey may slip off .it the; chair or, table .is pushed.-
"Another thing, ypn can Ho with the i small bits is to'.make those .narrow; strips'thafyou- glue' in the: back, of-ta shoe when."it is-'.a', little loose..
