Household Hints.

Iron rust may be removed from white dresses by rubbing the spot with a ripe tomato, covering it with salt, then letting it dry in the sunlight, and finally washing the garment with warm water.

When cutting out cloth the use of a warm iron will do away with the necessity of pins and weights on tissue paper. Lay the pattern on the material and press it lightly with a warm iron. The pattern will cling to the cloth.

To keep a bathing cap in good condition, sprinkle talcum powder or cornflour over it, inside and out, before putting it away. This will prevent it from sticking and cracking where it is folded.
