HARDWAM 300 tmt ewtaida MP IPOT MINT. All MW frnh Modi. FOR LADIES IV SALLY- We hope one of these suggestions will work for the King City lady who talked to us about the table top with white water-rings: These marks, we are told, can be removed if rubbed with a cut lemon or a little vinegar. Another suggestion; Rub the spots with camphorated oil. Rinse with clear warm water and polish dry.

It these suggestions fail to work, we would appreciate hearing from our caller again, perhaps we can find something that will. Ncely says: No frlkstratlon equals that of a furious wife wliose dishes are all plastic. If you use chamois skins to polish gla.ssware—or when washing the probably wondered what to do about the fact that they dry like boards. We are informed that this can be avoided if they are dried in front of an electric in a brisk wind. According to Dan Bennett: A lot of irivei were just as unreasonable before they got married, but then their future husbands thought It was cute.

White enamel bathtubs, washbowls and the kitchen sink can be made the pure white they originally wgre if cleaned with turpentine, we are advised. Another suggestion: Frequently substitute plain baking soda for scouring. For stains of the more obstinate type, apply a solution of sodium chlorite.
