REPAIRING MIRROR?
iFrom Mrs. L. w. D., Washinqto,,.
To Mrs c. M. p, Arlington. Va.
concerning her icebox rolls. 1 woulc
say she put her yeast into the
scalded milk mixture while it was
stlil too hot, thus killing her yeast
Yeast must not be added to any
mixture that is more than lukewarm
l would like to offer a suggestion
Tor washing the tots" hair. I use
an ironing board pushed up against
the bath room lavatory. Let her
lie on the board which comes even
with the lavatory, and her head can
hang over the edge into the bowl
Have found this very satisfactory.
fFron Mrs. J. M. S., Chepy Chase. J
My icebox rolls can be hastened
in their rising, when I come home
from work and want them for din
ner. Set them over dish pan OF
not water, cover the whole thing
with towel. They will rise soft,
and ready to bake quickly.
Does any one know how to repair
the edge Of table mirror and the
medicine closet mirror which have
been chipped on the back, not the
front? Can they be painted with
something to make the whole thing
look alike? Some one from Arling-
ton mentioned a science magazine
which explained what to do with a
mirror, but have never been able
to obtain the information. Will the
ones who did get the information
be willing to pass along same to me i?
Please put me down for a RICH book
when it is printed!

CAKE ICINGS.
fFronl Mrs. r. F. B., Harrington, Va.
have two very fine icings which
! am certain Mrs. G. M. McC.. of
Chevy Chase, would like.
Boiled Icing-One cup granulated
sugar, tablespoons cold water,
cream of tartar-just bit on the
tip of teaspoon-2 egg whites,
teaspoon vanilla (optionaD.
Beat egg whites until stiff. Bring
sirup sugar, water and cream of
tartar to full boil, but not until
it strings. This takes a very short
time. Gradually pour hot sirup
over egg whites (beating all the
time if you're using an electric beat
err, then continue beating until
icing stays in a peak when pulled
up by spoon.
The secret is not to boil sirup too
long. This will ice two-layer cake
or 9x12 loaf cake.
Uncooked Fudge Icing - Two
squares chocolate, tablespoon but
ter, l cup powdered sugar, / tea
spoon vanilla, pinch salt, egg. AL
most Il cup cream. Melt butter and
chocolate together Place all in
