HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Old tea-stains can be removed effectually from white fabrics by dabbing on several applications of full-strength peroxide of hydrogen while the article is wet and exposed to strong sunlight. When making banana sandwiches, add a little golden syrup. It changes the sandwich to a dainty delicacy for children’s lunches.
Black frocks which have become marked with powder may be cleaned successfully by being rubbed with stale dry breadcrumbs.
To remove rain-spots from a silk marocain frock, sponge the frock with clean water, and press on wrong side while wet. Press until dry, and the spots will disappear. Leather coats which have become shabby can be renovated by painting them over with white of egg. Use a fine brush.
