I'will add a few ldeas in that lne. Old stockings make the best of holders; fold them, turning the feet inside, and then fold the legs outside, button-hole the edge, sew a ring on to hang up by. These are very nice to _wipe off a curling fron. The stocking feet can be used to stuff sofa pillows by cutting them up and using’ them wm‘:o sawdust. These | ¢88- ‘are good enough the piazza. Take stocking legs, cover a plece of stiff card board, then cut your stock- around them the right thickness.

The uses for rags are numerous be- sides the old-time rag carpets, which are by no means to be despised, and the knitted and bralded rugs, ' that wear so much better tan any others and use up pieces of old woolen dress. €s, coats and pants, to such good ad vantage. 1 have sometimes dved cotton goods. with bright colors and mixed them in the dark wools, but the result Was not satistactory as they fade too soon; but if white or light gray wool goods are dyed a brignt color they will last as long as the Tug will. Scar- let is a specially good color to brighten up a rug. P The good pieces of old silk dresses, handkeriiets and ribbons, will per- haps answer to trim something eise; or if you are not interested in silk patchwork yourself, some friend or shut-in may be very glad to get them, and the same rule applies to velvet, whié¢h can be steamea and made to look good as nmew if not too badly crumpled. White and light tinted silk can also be colored with the package dyes made specially for silk. The best picces of old linen table- cloths can be made into runners: to put under the plates and save new table linen, or quilted together in two or three thicknesses for mats. to-put under hot dislies. Save all the old soft pieces of linen tablecloths, napkins, towels and hand- kerchiefs, for use in dressing wounds, and sores, in ah emergency, where doctor and_ antiseptic Dot always at hand; Black stocking legs cut open make good dry mops, and pleces quilted to- gether to -the desired thickness also make good holders to use around the kitchen picnic. recog- | loat| the board of history else- ot ply fl‘mw‘ charmed circle.

(Special to The Bulletin) New London, June 23.—Former Se- lectmian and former member of the board of sdhool visitors, William C. Fox, the only citizen who spoke against the appropriation of 332,000 for the municipal pler and increased accommodations at the ferry approach, was evidently not “talking through his hat” .as was intimated at the special city meeting when the appropriation was voted. He advocated postpone- ment until the more urgent need of school facilities was met. He stated that in the very near future the city would be asked for a special appro- priation of considerable size to pro- vide necessary school accommodations in the ¥ifih ward and. to meet out- standing notes made by the board for ssiry purposes and other school deficiencies that must be supplied by reason_of the paring of the regular annual appropriation recommended by school visitors. ‘The prediction of Mf. Fox has become fact, for even now, before there is any in- dication of .commencing work on 'the municipal pier, the board has asked for $100,000, with which to buy the Thomas Casey property on Ocean ave- nue for sdiool purposes and to meet the other expenses of the school de- partment. The Casey property is admirably cated for school accommodations the fas: growirg Fifth ward, and the can be rcadily made over into the future rant the expenditure. It was pianned to have the cify issue school bonds to the amount of $100,000 to meet the emergency, but at a_ epecial meeting of the court of common council Cor- cration Counsel Brennan announced @t the bonds could mnot be . issued without. legislative authority and that therefore action could not be taken un- til_the session of 1917. Some of the rmen were of the opinion that the home rule bill of the 1915 session left such matters entirely with the city. The court of common council agreed with the board of the school visitors that jt was good policy to purchase the Casey property at this time, as it comld be had for $17,000 and that pay- made in any way and the' property in the near future. s When Capta @ Thomas A.
