fFfOnl Mrs. w T.. ArJjnofo,,

slaw, but none exactly like mine
winch is SO easy to make.

POWDERED EGG YOLKS?
(From Mrs. C. P. M, Jr.,
Greenbelt, Md.)
I have recently been given some
powdered egg yolks but have un-
successfully tried using them. Could
some one possibly tell me how to use
them in cakes, puddings, ETC.? I've
been told that three different mea-
surements equal an egg, but had no
luck each time I tried.
Thanks for any information I may
receive. AS an 'out-of-towner" I
do enjoy the Readers Clearing
House and wish it was published
in the Saturday Star

TRANSFER PLANT;
SUGGESTION.
From Miss I. H., Washinqton.J
In reply to the query by Mrs. o.
L. S., Washington, how to transplant
the wandering Jew" from earth to
a glass bowl, please tell her it's not
done that way! just break off
pieces of the plant and put them in
water, adding more water to keep
container filled. and in a few weeks
new shoots, roots, etc, will appear
Then if desired it can be trans
planted to soil where it gets more
nourishment and grows more pro-
fusely. We've always had good luck
with it and it grows like weeds
(From Mrs. A. B. H., Washington
Mrs. o. L. S., Washington, re-
quested, How to transplant Wan
dering Jew'?" Break off all dead
leaves and branches. Put pebbles in
bottom of container and fill with
soil. Stick in the fresh pieces of
your vine. 1t is not necessary that
each piece has root. The soil may
be kept moderately damp and the
plant enjoys sunshine and will
thrive better in the EARTH in sum-
mer than in WATER.
When winter comes, again break
off the fresh branches and place
them in a glass bowl of water, in
which pebbles have been put.
Put your bowl in sunny window,
and add a little water each day.
You have a beautiful winter plant.
To keep your white kid gloves
clean, wipe them off after each
wearing with a soft white cloth,
dipped in corn meal. I have found
this way effective and certainly very
economical.
MORE POEMS WANTED?
(Fron1 Mrs. H. F. H., Washington.)
I wonder ii any reader has the
complete poem OF either of the two
following quotations. The first is
the story of the leak in the dixie
but the second I do not know.
Come, Peter, come, I want you to go
while there is light to see.
To the hut of the blind old man who
lives across the dikes from me,
And take these cakes I made for him,
they are hot and smoking yet;
You have time enough to come and go
before the sun has set"
And the other:
'She meant to be good-she had promised
And so with her big brown eyes
She looked at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies
