In response to several requests
for baked and boiled custard recipes
l am going to give the recipes here.

half cup of sugar, one-eighth teas
poon of salt, vanilla to taste, gen
orally one teaspoon is sufficient.

milk and strain into buttered mold

Of the way to top Of mold with
water, Bake in moderate oven.

n on CT n I,d oil O
tard is done Takes about fifty-five
minutes.
Boiled Custard
One quart scalded milk, one-fourth
teaspoon of salt, four eggs, one tea
spoon corn starch, four tablespoons
of sugar, one teaspoon vanilla.
Mix corn starch with a little cold
milk and cook in scalded milk ten
minutes, stirring constantly. Beat
eggs and sugar together, pour the
boiling custard over the eggs and
sugar, stirring until smooth, cook
until it masks the spoon. Remove
at once and set Vesselin cold water,
stir often until almost cold, add flaw
oring and salt, strain into dish from
which it is to be served. Chill and
serve with cream. This custard may
be used with cake or fruit.
Mrs. L. r. Thomas, Mebane, N.
c., would like to exchange quilt
scraps for flower cuttings, ferns and
begonias. Better write first.
Dew Drop" Certainly it is right
to thank your fiancee for her en-
gagement ring. You know I don't
think any one person can tell an
other how you express appreciation
for a gift Of that character. just
think that comes naturally.
Eva Belle: Hand hemstitching
certainly will be used on fine voiles,
lawns, crepe de chimes and heavy
linens, cannon cloth and other like
materials. Some of the stores are
showing hemstitched dresses of
heavy linen now.
James: T agree with you thor
oughly when you say no matter how
hard a boy may work he can at
least have clean hands. 1t is some
thing of a job, know, when you
do rough work, but unless you keep
right at it your hands will look
mighty bad. Soak your hands in
warm water and good pure toilet
soap Gently push back the flesh
around the nails. If this is very
ragged, you'll have to cut it, but
please invest in a pair Of nail scis-
sors and do not use your pocket
knife on your nails. If you use
your knife you'll base hacked, ir-
regular nails. At night rub into
your hands and nails a good cold
cream, wiping off the surplus. Keep
a bottle of apple vinegar by the ba-
sin where you wash your hands and
rub a little of this over your hands
after each washing. This closes the
pores and leaves your flesh less sus-
ceptible to the inroads Of CRIME.
Mrs. r: There are certain wall
finishes that permit washing, and if
| were painting the inside Of my
house I would certainly use this
class Of paint. The finish is quite
soft looking and attra ctiVe. The
light creams and bluffs with shade
lighter ceiling makes the pleasantest
rooms. Gray is cold and hard and
so is green. You can If you must
use pinks, and blues in your bed
rooms. All rooms that open into
each other should have wall Of the
same color.
Mary P: Bobbed hair seems to
have taken a new lease on life. The
latest bob" so l am told, has the
hair cut in the back to conform to
the shape Of the head, in other
words the top layer of hair is short
er than that at the neck line.
