of the cake or pie that you wish. This

Hints on Cleaning House

ut has occurred to me that hints on
spring housecleaning would be appropri-
ate at this season of the year and this is
the way 1t was smplified in our house
last year: First, the pantry and clothes
| closets were emptied and busted, theQ the
kitchen pantry was painted by a painter
who did it well and quickly. beginning at
| the top and going down. After the clothes
closets and pantry had been put in order
| (of course, the woodwork was wiped off
after the painting was done, the wood
work was wiped off all over the house.
| This latter was reversing the usual order
| of things, but ii certainly worked we'll,
| for the paperhangers and calciminers
were careful of the woodwork as they had
| been told ii had been cleaned beforehand.
Only one night did the family make shift
and that was the night the varnish was
drying on the bedroom floors, but i'm
promptu beds were made ready in the
rooms that still awaited their fresh coats.
| The rugs meanwhile were being cleaned
and the next day the settling was much
easier, when the bric-abrac was brought
out from drawers and closets where it had
been stored after the frames had been
busted and the glass washed. The fine
china in the cabinet received final atten-
| tion after the rest of the, nat was in or
der, for you see it was a fiat I'm talking
about-but siR we are cliff dwellers we
know now to manage. And it might be
wellsto add here that the clothes closets
| aud pantry were cleaned and in order sew
eral days before the woman came to clean
fthe woodwork, and the curtains were all
laundered the previous week, so that
there was breathing spell between the
advent of the paperhangers and the end
of the cleaning that belonged to the
housewife. j. E. H.
Spring housekeeping time has always
been, and, 1 fear. always will be, period
of dread to the family of the overcareful
housekeeper Said one nervous daughter
to me once, when l see mother begin
to clean house feel as If I wanted to
crawl off and dien' Really. one can be
clean without having a complete domes-
tic unheaval We are grateful for all
suggestions that simplify a process that,
at best, is wearying to the housekeeper
and wearing to the nerves of the entire
family.

To Clean Anything White

"I read in the Corner a request by j.
d. for way TO clean white plume.
I have found that neither talcum nor
cornstarch will do much good. Put about
pint of flour in a gallon of gasoline and
dip the plume into it. Rug gently from
the center out with a piece of flannel
cloth, using the flour as you would soap.
When clean souse in clean gasoline and
when dry shake out the flour and 1t will
be like new. This is a splendid way to
clean anything white-gloves, laces vests,
serim or voile curtains-in fact, anything
that is white. G.
VIII those who write to me for satis-
factory directions for cleaning white
feathers. laces, etc, at home. make a
note of these clear instructionx2 1t
would be we'll to paste them in the scrap

A Recipe for Bob-Andy Pie

never seen it in print To a cup of
sugar add a teaspoon of cinnamon and
cloves and heaping tablespoon of but
ter. Cream these as you would any cake,
then add two eggs we'll beaten and two
cups of sweet milk. Pour into a pan
lined with pastry and bake in a moder-
ate oven. When baked the spices will
rise to the top and make a thin dark
coating, while underneath is thick layer
OF creamy custard so different in flavor
from the ordinary custard pie.
MRS. r. o. B."
Not only have l never eaten Bob-Andy
pie but I have never heard of it. 1t cer-
tainly sounds good. The spices should
lend a plquancy to the eustard that is so
often lacking In flavor and fiat to the
