Dottie Mops Up

Dear Dottie:

All too often, while mopping the floor or vacuuming, I find my handbag slipping down from my elbow, along the length of my arm, and further on down until it is dangling off the edge of my vacuum or sponge-mop. How on earth does one keep this from happening?

Well, Angel, you have truly stumped Dottie on this one—I have the exact same problem, as you can see, and about the only thing I can suggest is USE VINYLS!! I have lost MANY a fine alligator to this process while wet-mopping. It is unfortunate, but what can one do?

Love and sympathies,
Dottie
