Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: Instead of fighting the sheet for the small mattress in a cradle, slip the mattress in a king-size pillowcase. You don’t have to worry about the sheet bunching up around baby’s face. Susan C., San Antonio

Dear Heloise: To prevent ink stains on my good leather bag when the top comes off a pen, I now enclose pens in a new snack-size plastic bag. It works! Mrs. Ward F. Humphrey, Waterville, Maine

Dear Heloise: For years I kept obituaries and remembrance cards and put them in a scrapbook. I found that they were much quicker to find if I filed them alphabetically in a recipe box.

Since reading your hints, I now put the address of the person to whom I am sending a card in the hospital on the return address (their home address). - Bernice Konz, Rock Valley, Iowa
