In the directions for knitting nit
tens published in the RICH Friday,
March 2. the second sentence should
read Take eight 90 stitches from
the right-hand end OF the front
needle and leave them on safety
pin" However, If Mrs. E. w. reads
the directions through 1 think she
should be able to figure that out,
unless she has never done any knit
ting at all.

While my two tom boys" Of 81,
and almost l year are engrossed in
the pan cupboard III try and write
lot of this n that-use what you
deem as interesting"
One nice light blanket can be made
for the preschool child by sewing to-
gether two passe receiving blank
ets," with an inch fiat seam. It will
not be uncomfortable even as a
bottom blanket-the same can be
done with useless infant shawls. If
fringed, remove fringe from one side
of shawls and crochet them to-
gether, light and warm. After all
they ARE wool. Colors needn't
match!
One half bar Of soap makes grand
pincushion for baby's pins. Makes
points easier to put In panties, etc.
Try opening little girls dresses in
front instead Of back-they can dress
themselves much easier land learn
to do 1t younger
Some one wanted ways to use
canned tomatoes. Season tomatoes,
bring to boil and add dumplings. Be
sure and do not peek after putting
them in. Leave covered 20 inches
and they'll not fall fiat If you've fol.
lowed your dumping recipe accu-
rately. They 60 like hot cakes even
with guests!
Enjoy making cookies except for
"creaming"? I melted shortening
in milk, added it to beaten egg and
flavoring then liquid to sifted dry in
gradients. Works fine.
For yellow sink stains! Use paste
of vinegar and cream of tartar.
Leave on awhile. repeat If necessary.
Add . bit Of ammonia to suds wa
ter and soak combs and brushes a
few minutes, they practically clean
themselves.
A tip I remember from my grand
several holes In closed
end OF q can (Which has been opened
with a smooth edge. Chop your po-
tatoes as they fry in the skillet. No
need to cut them beforehand-saves
time and makes delicious ''hash-
taters."
Children ruin shoe-lace tips? Ap-
ply nail polish and roll tip tween
fingers to work 1t into string. Ap-
ply top coat and leave dry over
night.
Don't be exasperated If a new
terry towel gets tear which will
ruin 1t In short time. I darned a
piece Of cleansing tissue into back
side Of one (this gives a body" to
work on) After few washings the
tissue washed out but the darning
lasted the long life of the towel and
was barely noticeable.
This seems like oodles of things
but like many others I enjoyed the
RICH so much and procrastinated
adding my stint!
