■ When darning stockings, hold the darning -wool for a minute or two over the spout of a kettle of boiling water. This shrinks the wool, and when the stockings are washed there is no fear of mended parts shrinking and so tearing away from surrounding parts. Black velvet ribbon, or any' article made of velvet, can be renovated byholding it over a vessel of boiling water, the pile side of the material uppermost. When pressed by passing the wrong side .over a fairly hot iron, tlie ribbon or velvet will look like new.
