House and TIA other for recipes
which I have tried and liked from
"our page" It's the most interesting
page for women in all Washing ton,
In my estimation!
MOUTH ORGANS.
Thanks to Mrs. M. J. G.,
Was1ington.)
Answering request Of L. L. asking
where she might obtain a couple Of
mouth organs for her son who is
overseas ct IN isolated camp:
Wish to advise that Larry Adler,
while appearing as guest artist or,
the Lower Basin Street radio pro-
gram on Sunday night. March 26,
1874, announced that he wished peo-
pie to mail in to him unneeded
mouth organs, which would be sent
to soldiers desiring them, and the
donor would be advised Of the name
OF the soldier receiving his mouth
organ gift. II l.. L. could contact
Larry Adler, I believe that she
would be able to receive the two
mouth organs which she would like
to send to her soldier son.
CYCLAMEN?
requested BY Mrs. S. G. A.,
Rockville.)
II some one that reads your very
interesting Clearing House should
know. will they please tell me what
to do with hothouse cyclamen
plant to make it blossom again
later? There are no new buds or
leaves, but the old leaves are still
green.
KEEPING PARSLEY.
Thanks to M. d. L., Warrington
Mrs. r. w. D. Of Arlington asks
how to keep parsley fresh and green
for 1 week or more. I find mine
keeps very well after being washed
and drained then put in q tightly
covered jar in the refrigerator.
No one has yet answered my re-
quest for removing white spots from
mahogany table and I am hoping
some one will answer q question
asked last week about removing wa
ter marks from window sills.
I read your page daily and get
many helpful suggestions.
SLEEPERS; QUILT PIECES.
Thanks to Mrs. E. S. ~,
Wdshington)
To Mrs. H. b., Washington. Do
not use bleach on sleepers with
rubber buttons as the buttons will
become soft and hard to manage.
Soak the sleepers in cold water at
least Is minutes before putting In
the soapy water to be washed. Hang
out very wet and usually the sun
will remove any stains.
To Mrs. E. T. S., Bethesda: have
some thin quilting pieces that per-
haps you can use. Please phone
or write me as to whom to get them
to. Atlantic 5341.
TARRAGON VINEGAR?
REQUESTED BY Mrs. C. Z. S., Jr.,
Bethesdd.)
Can some one tell me If there is
any rule for making tarragon vine
gar? I have the dried herb and
assume the vinegar must be made
by putting 1t into regular vinegar,
but having never tasted tarragon
vinegar (nor even seen 1t for sale)
cannot even guess what the pro-
portions should be.
