A vintage advertisement describes pattern No 1220 for a slim two piece young woman dress with short sleeves, in sizes 11 12 13, using 2 1/2 yards of fabric for 35 inch widths, plus a color contrast sleeve trim. It promotes the spring summer issue and pattern No 850 for a tailored two piece with a gored skirt in sizes 34 to 48 and size 38 with short sleeves and 3 3/4 yards of fabric.
Practical ideas for cleaning leather chairs with milk or egg white and mild soap for imitation leather. Wipe dry with a soft cloth, then seal with petroleum jelly to prevent cracking. Transform discarded dresses and playsuits into aprons by reversing the skirt and tying it in back.
Simple household hacks include stiffening organdy curtains with thin starch water soaked then air dried and ironed. Add leftover coffee to starch to avoid a whitish cast on dark fabrics. Mend stockings by threading unraveled hose through damaged pairs. For leather surfaces, melt matching wax to fill burn marks.
