COMMENTS.

From Mrs. G. A. T., HyattSUille. }
My sincere thanks to Mrs. H. j. B.
Mitchellville, Md. who so kindly, al
my request, suggested several names
for our new hoped-for springer
spaniel puppy-having lost our To-
year companion of the same breed
We appreciate her kindness ir
taking time to reply.
note Mrs. G. F. G., Washington
asks If we want ito bring Joy ano
happiness to something, why not tc
a child who needs love, and a
home?" Mrs. G. F. G. is evidently
not aware of the long waiting list OF
would-be tadoptedD parents who
are even now having to wait many
months for such an opportunity
Furthermore, perhaps Mrs. G. F. @
does not know that such agencies
do not approve of elderly couples
taking on, at their later years, the
care and nervous strain of rearing
young child, nor do physicians ap-
prove, either, when even young par
ents find it wearing nervouSly. We
wished to do just that, our own chill
dren having married and being oc-
cupied with their own families.
When one has had puppy who
has grown up with ones own chill
dren and loses it suddenly at 10
years, it is like losing one of the
family because he becomes one!

POEM WANTED?

(Fron1 Mrs. J, A. L., HyGttSuiIte.)
] have enjoyed the RICH for over

Lately 1 have been impressed by
the quick response from readers to
requests from others for poems.

The title is THE Divine Office of
the Kitchen" I do not know the

household tasks.
Mathis, vespers and compline are
all mentioned and another line is
as follows:
Although may have Martha hands,
] have Mary mind.

VELVETEEN.
BURNED ALUMINIUM? ?

from Mrs. J. A. M, Silper Spring J
Mrs. M. c., Arlington: Have al
ways been told that one of the best
ways to clean" a velvet or velveteen
dress was to hang it in the bath
room while taking hot shower or
bath. Be sure the steam reaches
the garment but don't let it get wet
Have had good results with velvet
but have never tried it on velveteen
Hope this will help you.
Can any one tell me how to clean
and polish heavy aluminium pots in
which food has burned? I have a
large saucepan that cannot get
clean.

Beauty Ranblings

We're always wary of getting
something for nothing, but when the
something turns out to be super
smooth lipstick in your choice Of
beautiful colors, then JOY overcomes
weariness. A bit of Christmas in
July-that's what you'll get at q
local store with every purchase of
$500 or more of a certain kind of
cosmetics. And you don't have to
buy any highfalutin beauty gear,
either. It's the kind Of stuff you'd
probably buy anyway-with a lip
stick thrown in to boot. For exam
pie you might try the fine face soap

'milled and so gentle to your skin
that you can give yourself a simple
beauty treatment with it alone.
There's just one proviso to the deal
Not more than half your purchase
can be in soap. For the other half
you might choose softening cleans
ing cream that's a fine prelude to
prettifying or perhaps double
strength night cream designed to
help smooth and soften dry skin.

used the glass coffee jars for
canning tomato pickle and chilli
sauce two years ago and found them
satisfactory.
To seal, I placed a piece of waXed
paper over the top of jar, allowing
about u inch to come down over the
jar, then put the jar top on, over
the waxed paper. Lastly, I melted
paraffln about an inch deep in pan
and set the jar, upside down, in the
pan. Thus, the entire top dnclud-

satisfactory. Now, years later. the
