Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I hate dresses that come with those belts that have no hooks and eyes. Every time I sneeze or breathe, they come undone.

I have found a solution to my problem. I bought some self-sticking fabric tape, which comes in several different colors as well as sizes, and attached it to the belt.

Works like a charm. The only thing is that I wonder why I didn’t think of it before now. - Dianne Nowell, Midland, Texas

Dear Heloise: I try to clean two or three drawers a week to stay ahead of the junk accumulation.

I also keep a certain place on the kitchen counter where I slip (by date) items that need attention, like bills, tickets to plays, etc. - Dorothy Hamilton, La Marque, Texas
