Can you suggest an efficient way to dry a sweater after washing it? A./Make a hammock of a piece of mosquito netting or other thin material, hang this hammock out in the sun, and lay your sweater on it. Be sure that the hammock is drawn out flat, so - that the sweater is not doubled 'tip. Treated in this manner, the sweater is not iio likely to get out of shape. Q. How can I separate a number of postage stamps that have become stuck together? A. Don't soak them. Instead, la}' a thin paper over them and run a moderately hot iron over the paper. They will come apart easily, and the glue on the stamps will still be usable. Q. How can I remove stains and scuff marks from plastic A. Often effective is a gentle rubbing with a bit of toothpaste on a soft cloth. Q. How can I wash out a chamois properly? A. A chamois should be washed in mild soap and lukewarm water, and rinsed in soapy water so that the soap residue will prevent its getting stiff. After washing, wrap the chamois in a towel until it's almost dry, and then soften it by rubbing it between your hands ^ Q. Is there anything I can do when the fabric or leather wears off a belt bucklc? A. Remove all the rest of the covering and paint the framework of the buckle with a harmonizing or contrasting fingernail polish. Give it a new coat occasionally to keep it colorful and shining. Q. What can I do with a number of matcless stockings of various hue? © A. They will achieve a common hue and be matched if boiled slowly for about 15 minutes in enough water to cover. Allow to cool in the pan, then rinse, and hang up to dry. . Q. What can I do if, while putting on a dress, I have gotten some lipstick on it ? A. I'se a little rubbing alcohol on the stain, going over it gently with a bit of clean cloth. And in the future, avoid such a calamity by holding a clean tissue between your lips as you slip the dress on over your head. Q. What can I do about my stained-luokiny suede shoes? A. After brushing them well to remove all dust particles, hold the shoes over the spout of a steaming teakettle , -- enough to raise the nap, but not long enough to get the shoes wet. A steam ion is good for Met. A steam iron is good for this, too. Then brush the nap with a soft brush. Q. How can I make a good, dead-black, non-glossy paint? A. By thinning some lampblack with turpentine. Q. How can I insure perfect, straight seams in my home sewing? A. Try placing' a one-inch piece of cellophane tape on the needle plate of your sewing machine, %-inch from the needle point. Then you can run your material along Hie edge of this tape. Almost all patterns call lor % -inch seams.
