THE PIANO CHAIR
Many aches would be saved the housewife if would learn to use her piano stool not at the although there is not enough time spent there in the kitchen work Instead of standing at sink to wash dishes or prepare fruits or vegetables I sit on the piano stool which swings easily at every motion of the body and is pushed out the way when not in use It may also be used good advantage when ironing a little awkward first but one can soon learn to sit and iron and without that dreadful backache
