who have lunches to fix every day--f

Sunday l always have roast or leg
Of lamb. i have II to slice for lunches
the next day and for dinner served
warmed over, or as a meat leaf. Iai-
ways get smoked picnic ham, .:sc a
pound usually. boil 1t, have hot
one day with vegetables, then for two
days 1 can have sliced ham for sand
wiches. 1 take the skin and fat, rem
der IL out, and have a nice cup Of
shortening for frying eggs or potatoes
The ham that i cannot slice ! cut off
the bone, put through my meat chop
per. and 1t makes nice sandwiches Just
20 or mixed with hard boiled eggs. II
Il also good mixed with mashed pota-
toes and made cakes of. or beaten into
an egg omelet.. When I have cut all
the meat eff the bone / use the bono
te boil beans for my baked beans
The crisp fat and skin, after the grease
has been rendered out, is nice for corn,

DEAR ELIZABETH LArrTMER:
when my two daughters were In

they both Joined the basketball team.
and each ordered a sweater Of navy
blue to wear during the intermission
periods of the games: These sweaters
were only worn for that year, and the
girls have not worn them since, A.
they were of the heavy woolsn sort
such as boys wear.
This fall my husband wanted black
sweater to wear under his coat. did
not want to buy new wool, as II has
increased terribly. and seems to be of
an inferior grade, SO unraveled the
two blue sweaters and knitted one for
my husband. When II was completed
! bought some black dyes and dyed 1t
black, and It came out beautifully,
looking like q new, sweater. Hence, I
not only utilized some perfectly good
wool that was going to waste in the
