tanning and bookbinding
In reply to G.. S., Washington, on
sealing perfume, I suggest that she
try nail polish. I have some import
ed concentrates that were sealed
that way. The glass shoppers were
removed and replaced with a cork
stopper that fitted flush with the
top of the bottle. Then the top was
coated with the nail polish. / have
resealed them the same way and
haven't noticed any evaporation. /
imagine sealing wax would work as
well.
Has some one a recipe for hot rum
sauce as is served on mince pies?
I have been unable to find it in
any recipe book.

I've been an ardent reader and
admirer of your page-have found
it very helpful. I went away two
months ago and only just returned.
I missed it more than could tell
you!
I know there must be more people
who would use chicken fat If it
weren't for its Objectionable odor,
and here is how to eliminate that:
Just add grated lemon rind to the
chicken fat while it is being rem
dered. Some day when butter is
point free, should like to try a
"butter sponge cake" Have any of
you dear homemakers a good recipe?

many readers, and I would like to
see its like replace the many advice
to-lovelorn columns, ETC., in other
papers.
In answer to Mrs. H. r. WIS re-
quest:
Emily Post explains the serving of
meals from the full-course formal
dinner to the simple family style
dinner OF the maidless household In
complete detail in her excellent and
unexcelled book of etiquette.
However, the full-courSe dinner is
next to impossible for even an expe-
rienced housekeeper with no maid
and most guests in these wartimes
are satisfied with simple family
style dinner If 1t Is well cooked and
the hostess can make up in charm
what she lacks in service. The buf-
fet dinner should not be overlooked
either.
DON'T FORGET PROTEIN!
(Thdnks to Mrs. A. B :, College Park.
I have just finished reading the
contribution OF Mrs. B. M. F. on the
helpful hints for wartime house.
Keeping and think she has excellent
suggestions, being particularly in
terested in her ideas for meat
favored meals when she uses the
meat for seasoning vegetables or
soup, but does not serve 1t at the
meal. I should like to make this
comment. On such meatless days,
one should check to make sure one
is including enough other proteins in
the family's diet for the day. Be
sure to serve eggs In some form at
one OF the meals, and another
source OF protein such as extra milk,
peanut butter, soy, lima or other
beans, peas and lentils or cottage
cheese. None of these foods require
points.
Many of us served more than
enough protein when meat and fish
were plentiful and reasonable, but
in these days when it is so difficult
to stretch points, it is important
that We consider protein, for it Is an
essential food constituent.

CLEANING FLOWERS.
(Thdnks to Mrs. II. B. F.,
(Arlington)
A recent request for a method of
cleaning artificial flowers, recalled
to mind the following, which I have
never had occasion to use but am
sure it will be worth a try.
Place flowers, blossom end down,
in a DaDer hoy contajripo looco
table salt. Close top of sack tightly
around stems and shake vigorously.
When flowers, are free from dust,
shake them to remove salt.

I would like to send cookies to

discourage me by saying cookies do
not travel well-they mold, crum-
BILE, get stale and are generally un-
satisfactory to send, but the men
ask for them. Surely some of your
readers have sent cookies success

tions for types of recipes or methods

The District Personnel Board has
approved a reclassification of IS
