I to«.fe some fancy w >rk with me, for I never sit with idle hands, it 1 can help it. and after disposing of a very tempting luuch, Mrs. Line and I es tablished ourselves in tfco cosey parlor, I with my Java rauvas and wool, she with her mend ing basket. “I never have time to do any fancy work,’ she paid, after a few minutes of silence, during which I was counting stitches, ‘for it takes so jong to do the mending. The socks and streh- ings are always iD need of darning, and when one has to darn and mend for a husband and btother, and four children, there i-n’t much chance to. working bead cushions and embroid ers i g screens.’ ‘You have such an overflowing basket of odds and ends. Jennie, that 1 shall put aside this noi sense a-ui help you out with your mending,’ 1 said, throwing down my eat>v«s and wools. Ot oour e she protested, but I was firmly re solve f to have m v own way, and puiled the bas ket toward me. Tne first thing whioh cauie to hand was a pair of John’s socks, the heels in tapers, the rest not worn at all. Don't try to mend those,’ s <id Jennie, ‘you will get all out of patience. John is so hard on his socks.’ •I will tell you a secret which will save yon an innuei ss deal of work, Jennie,' I said, tak ing up the darning cotton. ‘Y»u see that the heels of these socks are entirely gone, while the resi is almost ss good as new. VV-11. when you buy the socks line the heeds. D >:.'t let them be worn even once without lining. You will find out very soon u hut a saving it is, lor the beet of a sock is generally the first part worn through, but if lined when first bought will outlast any other j art cf the sock. I always save all the ir redeemable socks to cut no into liniiqs for the heels of the new ones. You rnurt line them smoothly and deep, and I know if you ouee try it you will never forsake a plaa which will save so mnoh darning and make the socks !a-tai loDg again, for of course all the w< ar cornea on the stout lining. The heels of the children’s stockings should al*o be lined, anti the knets, too, for the little fellows are always orawling abont on the floor.’ T have always put the old socks and stock ings in ;lia rag-bag,’ said Jennie, ‘and it cf-en seemed a pity to do so, tor only the feet were in rags, the rest qn t - good, i shall use them all for linings hereafter.' ‘Soeaking ot lining,’ I said, ‘what becomes of the r id skirt linings and facings to woollen dresses you rip up?’ ‘I pnt them in the rag-bag, for they are al ways drtadfnily soiled and dusty and could ntv- er ba used again.’ •Not on a die-s certainly,* I replied, ‘but still they can be put to good use. Have them well washed, and then sew' them together into broad cloths; you will find that these despised linings make the softest, nicest dusters you have ever used, aud you can fold them away in a small drawer of jour paLtry closet, where-they will be alwaj s handy.’ •The first thing I shall do when John's ship comes in will be to lay in a stock of tablecloths, napkins, sheets and cases.

Of course we housekeepers must have cloths and napkins for our tables, sheets for the beds and cases tor pillows and bolsters, and ir is very often tLe case that we haven’t money to buy new ones when the old are growing thin and full of holes, rg, wtt must twist aod turn to make them last r, until hetter limes come.

DEATH OF PROF „, I see that a sheet is growing thin I sew the sides together, and then cat it down the middle and hem the sides. Of course this makes a s-am in the centre of the sheet, bnt it will last a year or two longer for the atteratiou. Again, wheD it grows thin, I sew the eDds together and cut-down the middle. This makes two seams, bnt the sheet is still plenty good econgh to put on the children's bed, for they woutd not feel it if there were a dozen seams instead of two. •\Yhen entirely past redemption I out out tbe bist pieces for pstobes, and roil the rest in a neat bundle for use, in case the children burn themselves, cut their fingers, or hurt them selves in any ot the hundred-and-one ways obildren app-ar to be alwayt^-seeking out. Pillow slips when they grow thin in the cen tre should be Deatly patohed with pieces of an old sheet, and then will be serviceable for some time longer. Never put on patch*s of new ma terial, for bei jjg o much stronger than the old it *ili soon p f - s':.;-.j slip to pieoes. The patch should always be i generous one, covering the thin part ot tbe slip entirely, und it should be sewed on whe; the Blip is strongest, otherwise’ there will soon ce a rent near the patch. Then, too, take paietf to put the patch on neatly, straight and smooth, with no puckered places. The* old portion that the patch is to replace should be cut away and the edges neatly hemm ed down. i ... ,, , •If a tablecloth i; worn thin in a small place put a neat little patch of old damask under it, and darn it down on the right side with flue thread. When a cloth is past service for the ta ble, napkins for the children or tray covtrs can be cat from the best portions, and thus tbe nice damask Dapkius saved much wear. For dish •towels I always buy the orash by the yard, for.I find the material to be much stronger than that which otunes in the ready-made towels. Old towels should be kept well patched up, and when past patching may be cut into dish cloths and neatly trimmed. I know some housekeep ers who never hem their kitchen towels or dish cloths, and they wonder why they wear out so fast. If they hemmed themg^hey would soon find it a savirfg of money. ‘I saw that you bad taken down the lace our* tains in jonr bed-room, Jennie. What are you going to do with them ?‘ ‘I am sure I don't know, 1 wr.s the reply, don't think they can be pnt to any use, for they have been washed until they are quite worn out. • •You can spread them out on the floor and out onttbe parts least worn.

Three-quarters jrf a yard, will make a rplasher for your wasli- ?tand; cover it with the lace, put on either plain (ft gathered; turn in the edges and se» them to gether, and put a bow of ribbon on each corner.
