Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: Instead of throwing away dryer fabric-softener sheets after one use, place them inside your pillowcase for fresh-smelling pillows until the next wash. - Alice Nelson, Jacksonville, Ark.

Dear Heloise: When taking pictures of special events, weddings, graduations, etc., be sure to take the last picture on the roll of your address and telephone number.

If the roll gets lost or goes to the wrong person, it will come back to you.

Some pictures can never be taken over again! - C. Wallace, Portland, Maine

You’re so right! You know the old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words (and many special oncein-a-lifetime memories). Thanks for sharing. - Heloise

Dear Heloise: A simple way to put curtains on a rod is to put the pointed end of a butter knife in the rod and, presto, no snags and it’s so fast and easy. - Dolores Klopp, Omaha, Neb.
