Household Hints

A good polish for furniture is
made by mixing together vinegar
and oil in equal quantities. Ap-
ply very sparingly with a clean,
soft duster.
Flour should be Kept in an en-.
yamel bin with a perforated lid.
A painted floor should be cleaned

white curd soap.
Steamed puddings are lighter
than boiled.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A girl friend works in an
office and there is a certain
man who calls at the office,
with whom she seems to be in
love, but he Is indifferent. He
called at her home once, but
after an invitation at a later
date. said he was sorry but
had another engagement. He
still calls at the office, during
which times he always sees this
girl. He at one time said he
was going to take her riding
some day, but never has men
toned II since.
Now this young lady would
like to know what this mans
intentions are. ELMHURST.
There isn't much the girl, can
do. The man Is evidently inter
ested only casually. Since he de-
clined one invitation to her home
and has never followed up his
suggestion of entertaining her
with q definite engagement. she
would only belittle herself and
annoy him by trying to force
the issue. She can do nothing
more than be pleasant and
friendly when he comes to the
office. II her personality doesn't
make any appeal-how can she
compel the interest she wants
and doesn't get? 1t would be
better for her not to romance
about this man.
