USEFUL HINTS

Those glass trees and flowers which make such attractive ornaments pick up a lot of dust in time. If they are washed with water, the wires to which they are attached are liable to rust. The best way to clean them is to brush them gently with a small, soft brush dipped in turpentine or petrol and when they arc dry brush with a dry brush to restore the polish. Removing the Crumbs. When a. small electric toaster is used, crumbs from the bread often find their way into the crevices. It is impossible to remove these with the fingers or a duster, so a longish-handled small brush-—a bottle brush is very ■good—should be kept specially for the purpose. To Save the Hands. Most, housewives will welcome a little rubber grip for holding the steel wool with which pots and pans are so easily scoured. The wool is slipped into the. iittlc Judder and makes it unnecessary for the fingers actually to touch the scouring material. Be Happy at Work. To be happy at work, it has been pointed cut, one should have a sense of success in it, and not attempt to do too much. A good method in all things induces pleasure, and if one can look upon housekeeping as a profession there will be found in it considerable scope for improvement and ingenuity.
