Folding Dress Skirts.
O FOLD a dress skirt properly for
packing and so avoid the crease
down the middle of the front
breadth, fasten the skirtband and pin
the back to the middle of the band in
front. Lay the skirt on a table or other
flat surface, right side out, with the
front breadth down. Smooth out all
ereases and lay folds flat. Then begin
at the outer edges and roll each toward
the eenter back until thé two rolls
meet. In this way the hang of the skirt
is not injured, there are no wrinkles,
and the front breadth is smooth and
flat. If the skirt is too long for the
trunk, fold it over near the top and
place a roll of tissue paper under the
fold.

P
Kitchen Conveniences.
BACK for the Sink—When the
kitchen sink is not supplied with
an enameled back, try pasting a
square of white oilcloth on the wall
above the sink. If good, strong paste is
used and the edges carefully pressed
down, the splashing of water on the oil­
cloth will not loosen it. The pasted
edges do not curl as when tacks are
used and the whole has a neat appear­
ance.
Protect the Bottom of the Sink With
a Wire Rack—A wire rack on which to
stand kettles, dishes, etc., in the kitchen
sink is quickly aud cheaply made—and
once used will always be a valuable
part of thu kitchen equipment.
The frame, which is of hard wood
joined at the corners by small nails, is
only a little smaller than the botiom of
the sink. Wire netting (poultry wire)
is stretched on the top, bent over the
edges of the frame and tacked in place,
then a molding covers the rough edges
of the wire and makes a neat finish.
This rack does not interfere with the
free passage of water down the drain
pipe and saves the enameled sink from
many hard knocks—besides elevating
the dishpan to a convenient level for
washing dishes.
A
Care of Eyebrows and Lashes.
ON’T NEGLECT your eyebrows and
eyelashes, allowing them to get
straggly and thin. Use an eye­
brow brush regularly, brushing the
brows smoothly and firmly, and gently
brushing the eyelashes upward.
Petroleum jelly is splendid for thick­

lashes, and so, for the matter of that,
is cocoa butter. Apply a little every
