USEFUL IN THE HOUSE.
A pair of gauge scissors, by means of which you can cut a strip of material perfectly straight and even, no matter how long it is. These scissors are particularly useful for cutting strips of flimsy fabric on the cross. A vegetable, rack which stands firmly on trestle legs with wooden compartments for various vegetables swung between them. Thus all vegetables are kept well off the ground, and you can swing from the uprights as many boxes as you like, to hold potatoes, greens, onions, etc., without getting them mixed up and the flavour of onions over all. Various attachments for your sewing machine—and have a lesson on how to use them! With gathering, veining, quilting and ruching so much to the fore in personal as well as household adornment, these little ‘gadgets'’ arc worth their weight in gold. To saynothing of the very good embroidery you can do on your machine by means of the embroidering attachment which is perfectly simple to fix and work. It. is a pity to have, a good machine and use it only for playi seaming, when you can do so many other more effective things with it.
