Can't waste anything today, - even cake that has gone dry. It can lie made to taste like it has just been baked. Wrap it in a damp cloth and put it in a slight ly warm oven until the cloth i dry. Just like new try it! To repair edges of a rug- that j are worn or ftjayed, buttonhole j the edges with heavy yarn or a heavy cord placed along the edge and hound to the rug with yarn. For glamor through grooming, learn to rlo by doing: hands clean and well cared for nails; clothes brushed, pressed, and neat; stock ings freshly laundered with straight seams; shoes shined, heels even. Don’t neglect good grooming at any age. Keep the hail clean and neat in styling; the skin clean and clear, with natural appearing make-up. “Oh, look at that dirty ink spot on your clean white cloth.” Don’t he alarmed. Just soak it in pure ammonia for a few minutes and presto, - it’s gone. Now rinse in cold water. Easy ? 1 THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... I ' I I I •' noily ,ient editorial you just read .
