The lady bought rubbing Alco hol and used it to rub the circles and discoloration.

Some kinds of material do not like alcohol Heloise dear Heloise when sewing on fancy net whether making evening dresses or your pretty curtains i have found that instead of using pins it is far easier to use Small in visible Type hair pins no Bast ing is necessary at All when us ing this method and they will not slip out the Way a straight pin will. This also works on lace. Mrs. E. Color dear Heloise Here is an idea for those who still use the old time roller shades whether it be in the Kitchen bedroom or living room. Every two years when we paper our Walls we Cut some of the design from the extra pieces of wallpaper and paste them on the shades example if we have Dainty Flowers in the bedroom paper we Cut out about five of the Little Flowers and put them on the in Side of the Shade and they match the Walls. This idea is adorable in our Kitchen. This year our Kitchen paper had Little pots and pans All Over it. We Cut out one of each and put them across the Bottom of the Shade. If you just want to try out the idea use a piece of scotch tape to hold the designs on for a few Days. Mrs. Rossetti .1 dear Heloise when bottles have become Cloudy inside from hard water i have found that i can get them clean and Clear again if i pour some full strength ammonia in the bottle and then Cap them and let stand awhile. I shake the ammonia in my capped bottle pour it out and rinse with cold water. Mrs. William Eichenlaub dear Heloise i wonder if your readers know that Many fruit pies will not boil Over if some cornstarch is added to the fruit and used As a thick ening before pouring it into the pie crust when making fruit and Berry pies i always Cut the lower por Tion of the pie crust larger than the top crust. After putting the fruit in the Bottom Shell and covering the top of the pie with the other piece of crust i fold the larger crust Back Over the top pie Shell and Pinch it with my fingers.
