DEAR POLLY - I hope you or some of the readers
can tell me how to remove yellow spots from a pair of
white cloth sandals Every time I wash them these
yellow spots appear all over the front and I have had no
luck with the many things I have tried — even white
shoe polish Please help me —LILLIE
DEAR LILLIE — Sorry you did not say what kind of
cloth was used to make your sandals. If it is a sturdy
cotton you might try using a weak solution of bleach
water. It will take some experimenting and if all goes
well the strength might bif increased. There is also the
possibility that color remover could be used. If the shoes
were mine I would take them back to the store where
they were purchased and show them the spots. Are you
sure the fabric was made to be washed? —POLLY.

DEAR POLLY — I have two Pet Peeves. One is with those
people who scatter liter about and the other is with
automobile drivers who do NOT use their turn signals
-ETHEL
DEAR POLLY — I am a cook so you know how important it
is that I have clean white uniforms. After trying all kinds of
sprays to remoye cooking grease from my uniforms I finally
found a solutjn to my problem. I tried adding one-third cup
washing sgda and some regular bleach and my favorite
detergent to a wash tub of water and this has worked so well
that I want to pass it on to the other readers. (Test on your
fabric before throwing a load of uniforms in the washing
machine.)—AGNES ----------
DEAR POLLY — I solved the problem of a messy utility •
drawer in my kitchen when I started putting small things like
cup hooks, thumb tacks, small nails, etc. in empty clear
plastic prescription bottles They take up little space in the
drawer and I can tell at a glance what is. in each of them and
know when I need to purchase more of something. There are
no more loose small items cluttering up my drawer
-JESSIE
DEAR POLLY — I have a further suggestion for Mary's
bedspread If she dyes it the dye may not take as well on the
area where the glue was spilled so I suggest that if this
happens she should add some appliques here and there on the
spread (with, of course, some of them covering the spots
where the glue was) According to the decor of the room these
appliques could be flowers, animals, patches, alphabet letters ,
of whatever .
In my daughter's room I wrapped some pieces of shelving
with yellow gingham and then stapled it on and put these on
white brackets to be both useful and pretty. A neighbor gave
. me some scraps of wallpaper from which I cut orange and
yellow flowers and with white glue applied them near the ceil-
ing, with a few extra ones coming down at the corners. This
was a real cute touch. —PATRICIA.
