Housekeeping Made Easy 



Above: A new 

 device for wax- 

 ing flatirons 

 consists of a 

 round honey- 

 comb board 

 about five 

 inches in di- 

 ameter, which 

 is saturated 

 in beeswax 



A lighter which 

 is composed of 

 a roll of one 

 hundred caps 

 which are 

 ignited one by 

 one by an up- 

 ward push of the 

 thumb. Each 

 light burns 

 half a minute 



Above: A table top made 

 in eight sections, which 

 will fit any table, round or 

 square, and enlarge it for 

 special occasions. The 

 sections are plush-lined so 

 as not to scratch the wood 



At left: These steel match 

 holders are equipped so as 

 to accommodate the ordi- 

 nary parlor match or to 

 hold two boxes of safety 

 matches. They are fast- 

 ened on the kitchen wall 



A sliding door for the pantry is 

 a convenience where a swinging 

 door would be impossible or very 

 much in the way. When closed 

 it looks like a panel of the wall 



A coat hanger which 

 you can carry in your 

 pocket. It is about 

 two inches long but 

 will hold sixty pounds. 

 It is easily pressed into 

 the wall or woodwork

A cast-iron garbage receiver 

 built into the kitchen wall so 

 that the front opens into the 

 kitchen and the back upon the 

 rear porch or into the back yard
