Save the Elbows of Sweaters

When the elbow of a sweater shows signs of wear, I change the sleeves about so that the worn places come on the inside of the arm. It is necessary to shrink this part of the sleeve, and I do this by covering it with a wet cloth and pressing with a hot iron. While the sweater will not look as if it were new, it may be made to look very well and its usefulness prolonged.-L. B. J., Seattle, Wash.
