HOME REPAIR OF FURNITURE
CAN SAVE FAMILY MUCH
MONEY

For want of local upholsterer or
the price to pay one, good furniture
is often thrown into the discard
when it might be successfully re-
paired at home and restored to use,
says Miss Florence Mason, District
County Home Demonstration Agent
for the University or Maryland Ex-
tension Service. She adds that
group meetings are now being held
in five counties of the State by the
Extension Service for the purpose OF
giving instruction in all phases of re-
pair work on old furniture,
1t is pointed out by Miss Mason
that in the past few persons had the
courage to attempt such work and
with good reason since upholstering
methods were not generally known
and the work was laborious and time
consuming. However, present day
knowledge and methods have simpli-
fed the task considerably and prac-
tically anyone can turn out very
satisfactory repair work at home,
following a little instruction and
practice.
Miss Mason says that all kinds OF
ancient and modern furniture have
been brought to the meetings, every
thing from day beds and davenport
cushions with springs in tangled
heaps to slip seats of dining room
chairs, sadly in need of padding. In
most cases. she says, after few days
work the pieces have been restored
to usefulness, stronger than ever.
Not only housewives, but men and
boys, have been attracted by the
meetings, it is said, and have added
their strength and skill in the use of
tools to make the meetings even
more valuable and interesting. Miss
Mason says that she or any county
home demonstration agent will be
glad to provide a list of tools and
materials needed and an estimate of
the cost of such work at home. She
advises attendance at the county
meetings so that work may be start
ed during the winter months when
the whole family has more leisure
time.

"But good land Of love-" scolded his

Ansel peered anxiously between his

His eyes darted here and there. but he
did not offer to struggle. "I'm a-goin'

what he wants to do"
Mrs. Doane pretended much scorn,
but she went many times to look into
the box with cotton her husband had
fixed. There the bird sat, resting, too
tired to flutter out.
''It's Christmas Eve, amt it?" asked
Ansel. ut would be pity if we

Later in the evening when the small

on branch-tip he rocked and gave

have to look still further back,
however, for the real origin OF the
Christmas tree. It is believed to
have been once the palm tree,
used in the worship of the Egyp-
tian goddess Isis. In northern
climates, this association of the
palm tree with the celebration of
December 25th had to be modified
by substituting the hardy fir tree.

Tomatoes

TLAME red-what better color
to signify the Christmas sea-

holly-berries, lighted candles in
snowy Christmas windows, the
red of children's cheeks and San
ta's own coat.
And let's not forget the fam
ing red of garden-ripe tomatoes,
when we are preparing our Christ
mas menu. These tomatoes in
cans add gaiety as well as vita
minis to our holiday foods. Keep
a list of delicious tomato dishes
on hand, and plan to serve one
on each holiday menu. Here are
some top-notchers:
ScGlloped Tomatoes and PecGns:
Mix the contents of one No. 2 can
of tomatoes with three-fourths
teaspoon salt, one tablespoon
sugar and a few grains Of pepper.
Then put alternate layers Of to-
matoes, pecans and cheese (using
one-half cup finely chopped pecans
and one-half cup oheese) into q
buttered baking dish. Cover the

Party Peas

DLAY-BOYS and party-giris are
these familiar peas which you
have probably been accus-

True they are at home on the
everyday dinner table, but they

in party guise. Serve them, then,
in some of these attractive dishes
at your various Christmas week
parties.
Christmas Candle Salad: Cut

one upright in each tomato can
dlestick, packing around first with
celery, then with peas to make
It steady. Have the green peas
on top to show. Put small piece
Of pimiento on the tip of each
stalk to resemble the flame. Place
in the center Of watercress
wreaths on salad plates and serve
with tiny lemon sandwiches. This
serves six persons.
Peas with Partner +
Conditioner and Peas en- Cas-
serole: Separate one head Of
caulifower into fowerlets and
