HOMECOMING PROBLEM;
CANNING OKRA;
OTTERY

From Mrs. r. E. B., Brenttoood.)
In answer to the plan to "condi-
ton" a child to recognize and love
its soldier daddy when he returns:
This is my problem also. My hus-
band has been away two years and
our baby was 6 months old when
he left. She missed her daddy
right from the first day, for she
would look at his empty place in
the bed and wait for him to play
with herLalso watch for his return
in the evening. So right away
started talking about daddy" and
showing her his picture. He sent
pictures in his uniform for her
alone and I have always let her
have them. I have always told her
where her daddy is and what coun-
try he is in. Of course, she does
not understand everything, but we
talk always of him and what we
will do when he comes home. In
a group picture she can always
pick him out. I am confident she
will recognize him and love him at
once. So to all war mothers will
say never stop talking and planning
for "daddy's" return-even in little
household chores and in buying
clothes. Everything I do I tell her
its the way daddy" likes it.
To Mrs. P. S., Clinton, Md, and
to Mrs. F. w. H., Vienna, Va, can
broccoli and green beans the same
way and have never had any to
spoil.
Prepare and clean vegetables. Put
in boiling water for minutes to
make vegetable timber and easy to
pack. Have jars ready. Fill jar
to neck with vegetables and add
boiling water to same level. But be
sure not to fill jars. Leave about l.
inch air space at neck of jar. Put
/ teaspoon salt to each quart and
seal tight. Then turn seal y turn
back to allow for expansion while
processing. Place jars in container
of water that completely covers jars
and be sure the jars are covered
with water all during processing
time of 3 hours in boiling water.
Count time when water starts to
boil. When processing is complete
be sure to tighten jar tops before
storing.
Now for my question! I would
like a recipe for cheese bread.

SUPERVISED PLAY,


| From Mrs. J. A. W., Arlington.)
To Mrs. A. T. B., Washington, who
asks for suggestions for getting the
neighborhood children together for
supervised play for few hours in
the mornings, I would like to offer
the solution that some of us mothers
in Arlington have worked out.
Several years ago, a group of
mothers in our neighborhood or
ganized play groups" in our homes,
wherein each of us kept six chill
dren at our home from 9 to u one
morning a week. At that time,
when the children were 2-year-olds,
we Just let them amuse themselves
and learn to play together. AS the
children grew older, we felt that
they were in need of more room,
more play equipment and trained
teaching, so we organized a CO.
operative (nonprofi0 nursery school
and kindergarten for children from
3 to years of age.
We operate in the hall of nearby
church, with a well-qualified teacher
to help us. Each mother spends one
morning a week at school assisting
the teacher and transporting the
children. We have monthly meet
ings with speakers so that we moth
ers NAV learn new methods in early
childhood education. There is a
small tuition charged to cover the
teachers salary and rent Of the
hall. We are open the year round,
except for short recess in August.
All of our members most enthusi-
astically feel that our children as
we'll as ourselves are prof1ting by
this arrangement.
Although this plan may not di-
rectly solve Mrs. A. T. BIS problem,
there may be mothers of preSchool-
age children among the readers of
this column who may be interested
either in joining our cooperative or
one of the many others in this local
ity, or in organizing one in their
own community. If so, would be
happy to talk to any one who wishes
to call me at Chestnut 3948.
STARCH STICKING TO IRON.
| From Mrs. w. F. M, Washington J
In answer to Mrs. M. c., Mount
Rainier, about starch sticking to
iron, I have a few suggestions.
Perhaps you do not cook your starch
enough. think it is less apt to stick
if you cook starch five minutes more
or less. If your iron is new, you will
have less trouble as it is hard to
keep starch from sticking to rough
iron.
To remove starch from a hot iron
I always use fine steel wool and
clean off iron Immediately as soon
as tiny bit gets on iron or it will
make white shirt collar look dirty
in a minute. Never use coarse steel
wool or it will make your iron rough

BREAKFAST FOR TWO-Judg-
ing from the way the trousseau-
minded are buying, the brides these
days must think that they can
cook eggs wearing a lovely lacy
negligee, the ruff1eS trailing in the
skillet. Sorry, girls, but it won't
work. You really need a practical
number that is washable and won't
get in your way when you're getting
the lord and masters breakfast. OF
course, there's no reason 1t can't
be pretty, too. Such is one we've
just seen of crisp Swiss-type sheer
white cotton dotted in navy blue
or red. What makes this SO fetch
ing is the rickrack-edged 2-inch
ruffie that glamourizes the conven-
ient-length elbow sleeve and cas-
cades down the front to the waist
line. More of the ruffle pretends
there are pockets in the young full
length dirndl skirt. It'll wash like
a dream and make you vision of
lovelineSS over the burned toast.

pretty, too.

pecially so when they're well cut.
If they're not, you might as well
skip the whole matter. We have
currently earmarked pair, of smart
striped cool Seersucker. The midrif
bodice is cut to fiatter, ties in knot
over the diaphragm. The shorts
have an adjustable waistline and a
center pleat both fore and aft that
makes them hang nicely and gives
you and them good lines. For sleep
ing they're both cool and comforta-

CLEANING FUR RUG.
From Mrs. Fl. @. B., Jr.,
Wnshin0tO7.

I have not seen any reply to the
request of Mrs. L. H., Arlington. for
suggestions in regard to cleaning
her fur rugs.
I have a white fur (goat or sheep
rug which my. son sent me from
Australia, and l washed it very sue
cessfully. I first removed the black
sateen which was basted to the
under side, and was very glad that
I did, as it ran" badly when washed
separately. I put my rug in the
bathtub and washed it with soap
fakes through several soapy waters
and then rinsed 1t well with bath
spray. I happen to have one of
those old-fashioned towel racks
which used to be standing beside the
wash basin. 1t is about 8 feet high
and the same in length, and about 8
inches wide. I put my rug across
that and set 1t in the sun for several
days. I could easily carry the whole
thing in at night. When it was
dry, I combed it out and basted the
backing on again. 1t looked better
than it did before, as I comped out
a lot of briars, oat hulls, etc., and it
was much huffler. I don't know If
the colored ones could be washed
this way or not. 1t all depends upon
how fast" the color is.

to handle with kid gloves. Treat
him as if he had just returned from
another city or vacation-with
open arms, lots of love, good food
and faith! Amputees need nothing
different than a little extra build
ing up-and not look of pity and
some gushing sympathy. He's a
man, regardless; ones sorry, OF
course, but a big grin, a handshake

AS far as conditioning" child
to greet a returning father-there
is no need for worry! I suggest, as
do many authorities, let your child
meet servicemen, civilian men and
women. They can become friends
by holding him and making over
him, then when his dad returns
let him begin first by being friendly,
by playing with him; let him assist
in the duties that go toward a
child's comfort-bathing, clothing
and feeding the child. Affection
means a lot to child under school
age. So be tender and after your
husband has been "in focus" for
several days your child will adjust
himself.
