Wallpaper Notes
By EIeni Sakes

Down through the ages men have
used wall decorations. From the
cave man to the present day era,
mans wall decorations have served
to brighten dreary atmospheres and
to add warmth to rooms.
Wallpaper is today's medium and
1t has been in use for many hun
dreds of years. In the early period
Of development here in the colonies
the wallpaper used at that time was
imported from England. Popular
then were all-over Queen Anne and
Chinese flower patterns.
A favorite with 18th century
homeowners was the partially pa
pering of the walls. Usually the
wallpaper was placed in panels.
This fashion Is again coming back
and is very lovely to see when it has
been chosen with an eye to getting
important designs in the wallpaper.
When this paneling is used pictures
are not usually placed on the walls.
The Chinese floral patterns are very
excellent for these panels. Another
wallpaper item is the wallpaper
border that can be placed around
windows, doors, or to outline cor
nices.
When planning to redo your
apartment or house make sure that
you are dealing with a reliable firm
Ask for advice. Paper companies
usually have trained consultants on
their staffs who are very willing to
assist you in the selection of your
paper and patterns. They will take
into consideration the type of room
you want the paper for, your likes
and dislikes, and whether they con-
slider the type of paper chosen by
you is the correct one. You wouldn't
buy a formal pattern for room
that is furished in any Early Ameri-
can motif. For this style room
there are beautiful reproductions OF
Colonial wallpapers available. 1t is
wise to have your walls papered sc
that they blend in with the deco
rating scheme Of the whole room.
Decide early in the game just
what type Of walls you want to have
in your rooms. Do you want q

small amount to the scratch. I'm
less the wood Is really damaged the
scars disappear like magic.
Uses for sour cream. For the lady
who wanted recipes using sour
cream, here is my favorite:
Sour Cream Raisin Pie-2 slight
ly beaten eggs, u cup sugar, u tea
spoon salt, teaspoon cinnamon, u
teaspoon nutmeg, u teaspoon cloves,
cup sour cream, ! cup seeded
ralsins, " recipe plain pastry.
Combine ingredients; pour into
8-inch pastry lined pie tin. Bake in
hot oven (450 degrees) for 10 min
utes, then in moderate oven $3.50
degrees) about 30 minutes, or until
mixture doesn't adhere to knife.
Serve warm or cold.
Thank you for the many sugges-
tions I have received from the RICH.
hope some of these suggestions
will prove helpful to some one else
in turn.
PEST ERADICATORS.
QUERY?
from Mrs. A. C. O., Washinqton. }
I do enjoy the RCH and have
mad several good pointers given me.
Hot vinegar to clean paint brushes
is one. I want to tell those who
ask about borax for reaches or water
bugs. put paper in my cupboards
and under the paper I keep a good
sprinkle OF borax. Put it under the
edge OF hnoleum and anywhere they
gather. Turpentine also will kill
them, just paint around. Borax
Is cheap, use lots Of it.
I have several rayon dresses, and
they have holes eaten in them and
1 can't find a trace of anything that
eats those holes. have a spray
oil and moth flakes continually in
the closet. There is no trace of
anything in wool and no holes eaten
IN wool. Now what is it?
CHILD'S TABLE MANNERsp
From Mrs. c. M. c., Herndon, Va.
The recipes, household hints :.
poems and other information are
very worth while, but I believe get
more help from RICH when mothers
write for and receive suggestions
concerning the upbringing Of chill
dren.
Will some one who has had the
experience of successfully teaching
a 6-year-old child good table man
ners, please tell me how she did it?
I want to know exactly what to
stress, how and when to do it?
Our 6-year -old daughter often eats
with her fingers, eats too fast
holds her fork incorrectly, makes
good bit of noise when eating
although she has been corrected
many times. She has an enormous
appetite and is quite healthy and
bright. We are especially anxious
for her to behave the way she
should because everything she does
is copied by three children younger
than she.
We live on a farm and eat our
meals together.

gone by, was just as much Hal
loween drink as it is today.
Tossing apple peelings over the
shoulder to spell ones future mates
initials and sticking apple seeds on
your eyelids to see if your love is
true-if they stick he is. if they fall
off, forget about him-are tricks
that were known to the early Anglo
Saxon boys and girls. Baking a cake
with salt, -four and water, then eat
ing 1t and going to bed without a
drink of water was sure way to
make you dream of your future hus-
band or wife.
Nowadays people set the atmos-
phere for Halloween party by
stressing the supernatural, just as
our forbears did-only to them the
ghosts were all too real, whereas
with us 1t is only fun. The harvest
theme that we use for decorations is
Evening star., 1945-10-29

that Is plain or one
that it painted or papered? 1t Is
a wise move when using wallpaper
in room to decide upon the period
to be used and get a paper that cor
responds. Scenic papers that push
the walls back are used best on long
uninterrupted wall space. Beware
Of getting wallpaper that has polka
dots. They have way of getting
very monotonous after a while.
If you are thinking of papering
your child's room pick out delight
full design. If it Is very young
child make sure that the wallpaper
is washable. Plan the room so that
it will be informative and gay at
the same time. Some walls can be
papered with maps. Others, as in
the illustration accompanying this
story. can be papered in gay circus
awning stripes. For the growing
girl a delicately tinted and sweet
wallpaper pattern is to be favored.
This type of paper is feminine and
soothing.
Another happy note now that
peace is with us once again is that
wallpaper and fabric production
men will again be working together
hand in hand. Matching WALL
paper and fabrics repeated through
out a room make charming combi-
nation that is hard to beat. An en-
tire side of the room can be paneled
with the matching wallpaper or it
can be set in panels. The pattern
can be repeated in the room
through use of the same fabric as
the wallpaper on the bedspread, on
the covering of the occasional chair,
or in the draperies. This is very
pleasing mode especially in pro-
vincial room where if the beds are
set in an alcove, the walls of the
alcove may then be papered with
the same pattern wallpaper that is
used in the fabric of the bedspread.
Ask your wallpaper company about
this rather new idea. They can an
swer just about all of your questions
concerning wallpaper and how the
problem affects YOU in your home.

EGG YOLK FOR BABY.
(From Mrs. M. C. S., Arlinqton.)
AS I have been feeding my baby
egg yolk for several months, / think
Mrs. H. N. D. would be interested
In these suggestions:
II the baby is still getting only a
half or a fourth of a yolk, the sim
plest way is to beat the raw yolk
and mix it with sufficient milk or
formula for two or more feelings.
This and the next suggestion, have
extra mint If the baby is reluctant
to eat the egg alone.
The second is to prepare his
cereal and at the last minute stir in
the egg yolk
Usually I prepare it as a separate
dish by placing aNcustard cup on
top of the bottle wa smer-or a little
dish over pan of not water. Mix
the yolk with a tablSSpoon or two
of milk and warm until it begins to
thicken. I also add little piece of
butter, but Mrs. H. N. D. may not
want to add it for month or SO.
The whites can be broken into a
Jar with a tight lid and kept in the
refrigerator for a week or more. Al
couple of the neighbors help me use
up the whites and 1 find it pays
excellent dividends" in terms of
generous pieces of their pies and
cakes.
from Mrs. L. V. D., Washington
To H. N. D., who asked how to
prepare the yolk of an egg for A.
month-old baby so that she could
save the white for other uses:
The simplest method which II
have found for giving a baby egg
yolk is raw. Separate yolk from
white; begin by giving a small
amount of yolk, gradually increas-
ing, even to adding in white. until
whole egg is given-mix with ce-
real. At first I saved unused por-
tion of egg for cooking, ETC., now at
51a months my baby takes the whole

egg. Some babies do not like egg
in any form, some are sensitive to
eggs. Some mothers mix raw egg
with one formula feeding and this
should be a satisfactory way: it
might require larger holes IN nip
piles.
I find your column very interest,"
ing and helpful, read it regularly.

BABY HINTS:
FURNITURE SCRATCHES:
SOUR CREAM PIE.
from Mrs. N. M. r., Alexandria.
For those who have difficulty in
getting baby to take essentials like
cod liver oil or orange Juice I offer
these suggestions and mpathy.
Try giving very little orange
juice sweetened in warm sterile
water twice a day. Once the baby
accepts the flavor, the juice may be
increased gradually and the water
and sugar decreased until they can
be eliminated entirely. 1 gave my
baby ascorbic acid (25 mig. daily in
his milk until he took at least an
ounce of orange juice daily. Now
he drinks a whole cupful of pure
orange juice and enjoys it.
The idea that babies like fish liver
oil proved to be a myth in my case
at least. tried many methods only
TO have stains everywhere outside
the baby and no vitamins inside of
him. Finally put it in a small
amount of cereal, added a little
sugar to 1t and offered 1t at the
beginning of the meal. He took it
willingly this way.
Some of these methods are not
I'll admit, but I have a
happy, healthy, little example to
prove that they serve their purpose
when better methods fail.
