Just before putting a pie in the oven, brush over the top with milk, using a soft brush or a clean piece of cheese cloth.
=When Threading a Needle=
Place a piece of white paper under the eye. You will be surprised at the ease, with which you can thread it.

Get your grocer to weigh for you one pound of cream of tartar, and one-half pound of bread soda. Sift these together nine times in a flour sifter. Put in a tin can, and it is ready for use.
=To Prevent Children from Losing Mittens=
Sew strongly to each mitten, four or five inches of narrow black ribbon (use a colored one if you prefer). Sew the other end of ribbon to the coat sleeve. The child can remove mittens at any time without losing them and always know where they are.
=Teach a Child to Hang up his Own Coat and Hat=
Have some hooks, low down in the closet or kitchen where a child can reach them easily, to be used only by himself.
