Tips to follow: Use nex latex or alkydbase paints; they last much longer, are easier to upply than old-hat linseed oil paints. Latex also has no strong smell; won't stain hands- - and can last up to 5 years. Use latex paint on any masonry, but it needs a primer coat when you have new wood or walls in bad shape (here use an alkyd-base). Important: Get specific paints you need as marked on cans - for "wood," outside trim," etc. CLEAN LEATHER CHAIRS by rubbing them with soft cloth dipped in milk--or better yet, in beaten egg white. When chair dries, go over again with clean, soft cloth. Planning lots of summer sew-' ing? You know, COTTON YARD GOODS are about the easiest fabrics- to handle. They come folded right side out and must be refolded before pinning to pattern. Corduroy has pil^, that's smooth to the touch one way (worn upward for clothing), rough the other (directed down for household items). If cotton goods do not say "preshrunk," don't dip in water. To shrink, turn,wrong side out on ironing board, wipe thoroughly with wet sponge, and iron dry. HANDY HINT: Cut shelf paper by putting it in empty waxed paper or foil box. By using metal cutter edge you get a neat, evenly cut sheet. Just like little kids, our NEW YOUNG TREES need special attention and care. Keep an eye on thoir foliage, spraying with good garden insecticide. If you see evidence of bugs around leaves, spray occasionally thru summer with any orchard fungicide. During first summer after planting, trees suffer from lack of waler. Compensate by watering deeply about every 10 days- or by piling mulch of straw or dead leaves 4" deep around base as far out as spread of branches (leave mulch place a year). Make a RICH FRUIT PUNCH the kids will love by collecting leftover syrup from canned fruits Just add a little fruit drink conccntrate and water. Don't get upset when you LOSE AN EARRING . . . have "pin-on" fun with the one that is left! Gather veiling to one side of plain hat and clip in place with earring. Or clip into center of flower on a dress. Try one as a brooch on neck of turtle sweater - of clipped to knot of neck scarf. Screw earring to collars of bulky knits lots of smart' fashion tricks! One of the little pick-me-ups we gals love so much -- a QUICK COMPLEXION PICKUP. Just brush your hair! mm, EXPERT (All Breeds) • BOARDING (Individual Kennels) • TRAINING • BATHING ludw B<eekerBs 1018 W. Lincoln Rd. McHenry Phone S85-2436 (1 Mile East of the Skyline Drive-In) Those vigorous upward strokes not only help scalp, but act as a facial to stimulate circulation, give your skin a welcome lift. If you'd like a new or extra pair^of CURTAINS OR DRAPERIES, try custom-making them yourself. They should be at least double your window width (sheer fabrics triple width) so they drape gracefully. If buying patterned fabric, count number of repeats you'll need to match design in each length. A complete pattern should be at top of each finished drapery. Remember there are only 3 correct lengths--to the sill, to bottom of window apron, to the floor. You may extend floor length drapes to rest on floor for a very formal effect. To make sure you get length even, hang draperies before marking bottom hem. That BLACK* WROUGHT IRON looking seedy? Brighten it up, girls, with black liquid shoe polish. You don't even heed a paint tyush--no sanding either. Won't rub- or wash off --rand the irohi .eesy ta dust. Best of all, it doesn't look repainted, but has the same bright black look as new. Let'S get to KNOW CHEESE BETTER . . . the varieties are entiles3; If your favorite comes ready cut and wrapped, be sure to compare weights and packages. Watch dates carefully, especially on such cheeses as Liederkranz, Don't buy if you can't use before expiration date. Don't buy marred or broken packages -- or cheese that looks dry, shriveled or oily (unless it's Parmesan). When cooking cheese, neyer use high temperatures. They can toughen cheese, turn it stringy, cause separation of butterfats. Just melt it--all done--ummmm! Your DRAPERIES WILL LAST LONGER by following sorr.p simple Smart-Cuts Where windows are the same size rotate drapes from sunny windows to shajier windows. When buying new drapes, get them lined, or line tnem yourself. Lined drapes will fade slower and fabrics ke»p strength longer. Lining also helps protect against window soot «.n l dust. ^ - Once a month, use your vacuum en Kned draperies because lust speeds deterioration Wnen buying, choose vat-dyed f'lbr'.cs with good color-fastness. In-between colors, such as fciuc-grcens, will sun-faii* faster Lhari pure colors. Shoes and clher LEATHER GOODS (handbags, suitcices) keep their go-ji :<j jks longer if you don't let t'.icrn become hpdly roiled. Smooth and grain leatheis should be regularly spot-cleaned. Just dust, wipe with domp cloth wrung out in mild synthetic detergent or soap and water solution---dry with soft cloth. Shoes can then be polished to add luster or cover scuff marks. Sponge patent leather with damp cloth tc remove smudges. Have trouble getting that, professional look when you POLISH YOUR NAILS? An upside down bowl will hold your ha it J still, and help you get polish even without swearing. If you're A GARDENING BUG like me, you might like this idea. I use sawdust from a nearby lumber mill as an excellent mulch. Most mills give \<t away free. Sawdust has many advantages. ' It's lightweight, attractive, easy to apply. All summer long it retains motet ure in soil and keeps weeds out of the garden. In fall, ciig it into the soil to help retain a better soil composition. So" you among the roses!
