Pin>Money Finds
By Evefyn Have

CUTE CAMOUFLAGE-F the
time a girl learns that she will be
doing her bit for the rising birth
rate, her primary concern is to keep
people from guessing. Why the
great concern We have never been
able to understand. However, kid
ding the public continues to be a
favorite game-so here goes. If
you're currently trying to camou-
fiage the blessed-event-to-b you'll
love this little scoop. I don't know
whether it's the print or the style
that gets us, but it's honey that
looks expensive and isn't. The pat
tern is a sort of scatter-ye-roses-
Where-ye-may effect, the small flow
ers spaced hither and thither on
dainty pink, yellow, white, sea green
or the most heavenly blue. Cut in
the fl style of the season
Gil for almost everybody, it's
one-piece with slit neckline, cap
sleeves on extended shoulders, cute
pockets and draWstring for adapt
ability-one of those styles that's
so very becoming and SO we'll cut no
one would ever guess. Washable,
too-isn't that Something?

POCKET FULL OF POSIES-
Usually We are not one to go into a
other about handkerchiefs. But
these are different. These are ker-
chiefs any one would love to own.
They're SO dainty, SO pretty, so
hearteningly springlike. Made of
sheer white cotton with pretty
corded border, each one carries a
bunch of spring posies embroidered
in the corner-a sheaf of roses on
one, tiny forget-me-nots on another,
and cornf1oWers on our favorite, to
mention just few. The price was a
pleasant surprise, even to our price
wise orbs. We assure you one of
these would make a lovely small
Easter gift for any woman you
know

WHITENING IVORY.
HINTS ON KITTENS.

To the reader who wishes to
whiten the ivory of her steak knives
Please don't. Polish the silver. and
rejoice in the rich color of the ivory

writing-laZy as I am. It's the only
thing on women's page that I ever
read.
And about the kitten for the s.
year-old boy. Boil fish, and store
fish and broth in jar in refrigera-
tor. Obtain a childs cereal of the
no. cooking variety; mince little OF
the fish and add to cereal as needed !;
moisten with fish and add to cereal
as NEEDED: moisten with fish broth
and hot water. When kitten is older
use cereal and dog food of the meal
variety, in proportions to suit kit
tens taste. Parenthetically, no one
should have one kitten. Two kit
tens, obviously no more % trouble,
are infinitely better, and three kit
tens are still better To any one not
familiar with cats they are reward

ing one remembers just few things
/. Cats are not to be expected to act
like dogs or human beings; they are
cats. 2. They have no sense of hu-

Don't permit robust friends to play

Many thanks to Mrs. L. B. J..

concerning removal of discoloration
from enamel pans.
In answer to Mrs. E. w, Wash

tons for mittenS:
Material required ball 3-ply
yarn. Set of four No. 2 double
pointed needles.

from the right hand end of the
front needle and leave them on a
safety pin. Cast on stitches to

MENDING CHINA.

(ThankS to Master J. F.,
SilUer Spring.
Some time ago I read about lady
who wanted to know how to repair
a piece of china.
I have formula for a paste which
was in my chemistry set. That lady
may have that formula or a small
bottle of that paste by calling
Shepherd 1852 after pm.
P S-Wfhout you, there would
have been no Easter eggs in my
house last year. ED. note: This is
gratifying, but bit mysterious
What did iUe do about it, Master F.?J
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-03-02

back needle. Knit 2 rounds and
narrow in the same places again
Continue narrowing until there are
% stitches left in all, with rounds
of plain knitting between each mar
rowing. Then narrow every round
until there are stitches left or
the front and 4 on each of the back
needles. Break thread about
inches from work, thread a needle
with it and run it through these IT
stitches. Draw up tight, sew across
tip twice and fasten yarn securely
on inside of mitten.
Thumb: Take the 8 stitches left
on a safety pin and slide them onto
knitting needle. Pick up
stitches opposite them con 2 other
needless and knit till within Il inch
of required thumb length. Their
narrow times every round until
there are stitches left. Finish as
you did the mitten.
This will make the right hand
mitten. The left is made in the
same way except that the stitches
for the thumb are taken off the left
hand end of the front needle
Since I do not know the child's
glove size, these may be a little
short, but the best way to insure
proper fit in length is to start mar
rowing wnen the palm of the nit
ten reaches the tip of the child's
little finger, and not before then
Also, to make the mitten narrower
or wider, merely subtract or add on
as many stitches as are needed, al
ways making sure that the number
of stitches cast on is multiple of 4.
STAR" POEM.
THANKS to Mrs. C. c., Washington. J
I was reading the Readers Clear
ing House in The Star the other
day and saw a request for a poem,
The Gold Star" by Edgar Guest.
1 have been looking in libraries and
other places for it, but haven
found it yet. In the Family Circle
of February % I found one called
Stars" 1t sounds much like the
Gold Star" so 1 am sending it in.
do let me know II II is the same
poem, as I am very much interested.
STARS.
By Laura M. Lockwood.
The blue star in our window
Has changed to silver now,
And though you are SO far away,
We feel you near, somehow.
Each night in heavens zenith
Pretend it represents you,
No matter where you are.
And as it shines tonight, son,
God sheds its beams on you,
And keeps you in his loving care,
AS when the star was blue.
But should it change to gold, son.
You still would not seem far
Each night we'd look to heaven
And pick a golden star.

CLEANING LAMP SHADES.
AND pOPCu CTJCuIONJc


Thanks to Mrs. r. N. K, Riperddle)
First of all, let's all give the read
er Cant give her initials as I cut
the column out and sent it to a
friend in Pa, with the 3 babies, 3
years of age and under, medal. She
is certainly wonderful to do all she
does with no modern conyeniences
Cleaning silk lamp shades: Make
billowy sudS in your laundry tubs,
with mild soap fake or powder
Dip the shade up and down quickly
but gently. so as not to unglue any
braid or other trimming. Rinse by
using spray. Put a string through
the cross wires and hang on clothes
line. This should be done on warm
windy day, as drying quickly will
prevent water stains from uneven
drying. A soft brush can also be
used in the washing if there is a
stubborn spot.
To clean porch pillows: Make
thick suds, scrub with a brush, use
the furniture attachment to your
vacuum sweeper to suck off excess
suds and moisture. Hang in the air
to dry.
We did this to very expensive
light aqua chair and foot stool and
they turned out beautifully. I also
clean the corduroy lining of the
baby carriage by that method
Our 7-year-old son has a tan
water repellent coat with a woody
lining which gets scrubbed in the
same manner every 10 days to 2
weeks. We do it after he comes in
from afternoon play, hang on
hanger in warm place and it's thor
oughly dry the next am.
TO PREPARE SHAD ROE?
requested by Mrs A. E. Y,
Arlington.)
Could some one tell me how to
prepare shad roe? I recently bought
q can and have been unable to find
a recipe in any of my numerous cook
books I would appreciate any one
sending recipe that they have
used with success.
