Common salt is a good safe clean- ser and a plentiful supply should bej at hand during spring cleaning. White wicker chairs, linen-baskets. trays, and so on, should be scrab bed with warm salt water, well rins- ed and dried out of doors. Rush mats and the cane seating of wool den chairs should be treated in the) same way. Warm-dry salt is good for cleaning light-coloured over- coats, waterproofs, Canvas bass. covers, and chair-seats. It is ex-i cellent for removing soot marks from rugs and carpets. Stone steps that have become green or discol-] oured should be well sprinkled wizn salt when they are wet, or mopped over with a strong solution of salt. This treatment soon restores them, to good condition.

When doors are being stained, or wooden ixtures painted, it is diff cult to avoid making marks on the adjoining skirting boards or walls. To prevent any risk of overlapping is worth while to buy a roll f decorator's tape and to use it as a protective margin. The tape is
