Hints from Heloise DEAR HELOISE: Having all three children very active in sports, my den walls were becoming wall-to-wall team pictures and certificates, plus the expense of frames until I browsed around in the stationery store. I now buy the plastic covers used for loose-leaf paper, or report covers. They can be purchased in packages of three, or individually. Then, as new certificates come in, purchase more, remove the old ones from the wall and store them in a loose-leaf note book as the plastic covers come with the ring holes. It sure is fun to look back at the old teams, to see how the neighborhood slugger is growing, or the big changes in last quarterback.

I bought plaid material for one side and solid color material for the other side making them double.

These received so many compliments, and cost so little to make, that I bought material and made him three more pairs.

My husband carried out the springs and while he was vigorously sloshing them with the hose, our neighbor allied cheerily from across the street, one way to get rid of the Please withhold my name. I want the whole world to think we had bedbugs! DEAR HELOISE: With those old straight legged out-of-fashion slacks, you can make darling hot pants. Just cut off the long pants to the desired length, according to your legs and what length looks best on you. And then hem. This way you stay in style and waste those old slacks.
