Keep a Jam Jar in the bathroom; and obe in the kitchen, and put bits of left over soap in them.. When the pieces are dry, they can be dissolved in boiling water to make splendid coap-jelly. A jar is also useful for mixing shampoo, and it is a good Idea to keep one in the bathroom for this special purpose,
