SEWING LACE TO CURVED EDGE

«Lace may easily be newed to a curved edge if these directions are followed: Wind the lace, with the straight edge near the hottom, around a glass bottle. Dip the bottle into water, immersing about one-half inch. Let the lace dry on the bottle. The shrinking of the edge gives the dealrad curve.

SCREW-IN CUP-HOOK

When the cork of a bottle is too far in or is deliberately prossed in too far (as for packing); just; keep an ordinary screw-in cup- hook handy, with this you are able to extract the most obstin- ate cork from its stronghold.
