sTTFHENING FOR CROCHETED
DOILIES.
(Thanks to Mrs. M. B. r.,
College Park
For Mrs. A. r. G., Bethesda, who
requested stiffening for crocheted
doilies: This is for baskets, but
would work with dolly BY pinning
it onto q board. Boil y cup sugar
in "a cup water minutes. Cool
slightly. Dip cup or basket, stretch
on bottom Of glass, jar or dish to
fit, place on heavy cardboard or
several layers of paper. Pull and
stretch all to desired shape and size
as it hardenS, then leave to set the
shape, A very heavy starch may be
used If desired.
Wouldn't it be wonderful If we
had some sort of q filing system for
all these grand house
hold hints ts"-"household pests
care of pets"-'recipes"-etc? I
try to keep the entire page of RICH,
and what happens-never can find
what I want. Perhaps others aren't
so lax as in making a filing system.
II you folks would just put out q
set of folders into which we working
wives with families could pop the
clippings when we finally had time
to snip them out, it would be lovely

COOKIES FOR OVERSEAS:
BIRTHDAY PARTY ENTERTAIN
MENT?
Thanks to Mrs. A. A. G.,
WdShington)
I'm wondering if all these cookies
that 60 overseas are worth the time
and trouble? A friend of mine sent
me a box of cookies the first Christ
mas I was away from home. They
were en- route less than a week and
they were so dry and crumbly and
with a somewhat stale taste that
most of them were dumped. I know
that we should do all we can for
our boys and they deserve, all the
favors they get, and more. But with
shipping space so limited I wonder
II We should fill it with boxes OF
food that will probably be unfit to
eat upon arrival. I would like some
comment on this, especially from
recipients of such parcels.
Now for some help. Can any one
suggest something in the line of
entertainment for 2-year-old's

The recipe for branded peaches

apparently from the fermentation

the okra from getting "gooey."
