HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Our Kiddy’s Sand Table
We desired a sand table for our young
ster to use on the porch in inclement
weather. The sand tables for sale in the
stores, were both expensive and clumsy,
so I bought a second-hand kitchen table
for a reasonable price, and my husband
did the rest. He nailed the table drawer
shut and cut out of the table top the sur
face above the drawer. This made an ex
cellent cavity for the sand. Around the
edge and set back a few inches, he nailed
a strip of wood as a guard-rail for the
sand. Then he sawed off the table legs to
make the table the proper height for the
baby. With the pieces of sawed-off legs
and a few planks, he made a bench to tit
the table. Then he painted both sand
table and bench, and the outfit delighted
the youngster.
An OuUide Vegetable Shelf
An outside shelf that may or may not
he let down when not in use, and placed
near the back door, is of the greatest con
venience when vegetables are gathered
from the garden. Here all the first rough
preparation of cabbages, lettuce, beet3,
carrots, all those vegetables that have to
be stripped, can be made and so keep
much dirt out of the kitchen. My shelf is
on hinges and is held up by a chain, which
I unhook from the shelf when I wish to
let it down.
For Picot Edging
I’icot iilKit'X is very expensive at the
present time, imperially when yards of ruf
fles must he made. You e.an save just
half in price hy < uttiuK the material for
rulfh-s twice the desired width and half

through the renter of the material. Then
• ut directly through the renter of the
hrmstitehinif, and you have two rutiles
and have made use of each side ill the

A Picnic Suggestion
After wrapping sandwiches and cake in
waxed paper, secure them with small
toothpicks. This is a neat and attractive
way to secure waxed paper on any picnic
food or for school luncheons.

A money-count inn expert in the United
States Treasury Department recently
made the record for countinn -1.000 silver
dollars in an hour, or 32,000 in a day.
To show how vast a sum is a bullion
dollars, about which we are talkiun so
easily nowadays, it would take this ex

day, day after day, w ithout a sinnle dav's
