Hints.

Put a cardboard picnic plate in the cake-tin before depositing the cake therein. You will thus avoid the timry taste and the plate forms a good cutting base. Shake the plate, and your tin will be ready for the next cake.

It is best not to keep vegetables in a pantry, if it can be avoided, as there is a certain amount of odour attached to them. Have a tiered wire basket, in, say, the wash-house. (Lift it out on wash-days). The wire allows free circulation of air.

If you wish to hang your antique plate on the wall, it can be fastened quite securely with the aid of three glides (the paper-fasteners which are used in every office). Slide the glides over the plate at equidistant intervals and fasten each to each across the back with strong string. The glides cannot then shift position. Hang by a string joining two of the glides. Do not attempt to strengthen the job by using four glides, or the plate will not hang correctly.
