Rain-Proof Porch Pillows

Make an inner covering for sofa pillows of oilcloth, and an outer cover of some attractive wash material. Such pillows can be left on the lawn or porch during a rain and will not be ruined. -Miss G. E. M., Lake Park, Minn.

SAVE WORK IN REMOVING PAINT FROM WINDOWS It is sometimes very difficult to prevent paint from getting on window-panes when the house is being painted. But I have found a very good way that goes far toward preventing this nuisance: Before the house is painted, coat the windows thickly with any cleaning-powder commonly used for window-washing. When the house is finished, both paint and cleaning-powder can be washed off the glass together, thus saving time, temper and money. If paint has been allowed to dry on the windows, a sharpened putty-knife will remove it very easily. -A. M. H., San José, Calif.
