Ask the Old Fanner: We are looking
for a summer place in Maine and a
recent real estate ad listed a home
with "flying stairs " Can you define
these 7 SF, Hartford, Conn
Flying stairs, as we know them, are a
sort of attic ladder that can be hoisted up
out of the way
Home Hints: To remove lead-pencil
marks from woolen material, try sponging
them with half-and-half solution of denatured alcohol and water This does
not harm the fabric but removes the marks
