“What are these smaller doors inside our hotel bathroom door?”

Answer: “Some of our friends in the French countryside have children and pets but no air conditioning. To keep their kids and pets out of or in specific rooms while still being able to hear them, communicate with them, and keep an eye on them, they use ‘Dutch’ doors. These doors are divided horizontally into two parts that can be opened separately, allowing for ventilation while keeping children and pets safe and secure in designated areas.”

Answer: “These fabric sponge balls have a coating to help them slide and grip fabric. They are designed to fit into a tool on the sewing machine table that pushes out corners and shapes when turning the garment right side out. The balls are firm but soft enough not to damage the fabric. However, they can come off easily if pulled too hard.”

#23 it is a holder for musical note sheets for sure. Flute players use this, as you can't attach the holder to the flute itself like you can with a trumpet. (the notes would not be where you can see them)
