rapidly boiling water and cook 20
minutes. Remove from fire and
keep under running water while
removing shells. Combine shrimp,
celery, onions and French dressing
made as described below. Place all
in covered container to marinate
from to II hours.
To serve, shred lettuce on plates
and place slices of tomatoes on this.
Cover lettuce and tomatoes with the
shrimp mixture and top all with
minced or sliced eggs. For a deli
cious main dinner dish, serve with
hot buttered French bread and
potato chips.

densed tomato soup, n cup each
vinegar and salad oil, u cup sugar,

tablespoon onion juice, 2 tea
spoons prepared mustard, l teaspoon

after three hours. This dressing
calls for small proportion of salad

keep indefinitely.
TOMATO SOUP:
WASHING QUILTS.
From Mrs. r. E. B., Jr,
Washington.)
Tomato Soup: I always put a
quarter of a teaspoon of soda in
the boiling tomatoes and as that
bubbles up add the milk. 1 never
have any trouble with it curdling.
We always did this at home.
To Mrs. P. G. S.: wash my quilts
that are filled with cotton and quilted
in the washing machine and hang
them on the line. If the wind is
blowing gently they will be beau
tiful I have some that my great
grandmother made. The ones that
my mother and I made are filled
with rolled cotton that you see in
department stores, such as noun
tain mist, etc. I would not think
of sending mine to laundry. I
rinse them through two waters and
hang on the line and let them drip
until very dry.
LEMONADE FOR ONE;
THERMOS JUG;
APPLIANCES.
From Mrs. H. A. j., WGshington.)
To Mrs. v. S.. Washington: Sorry
to be so late with recipe, but just
recently moved and had to get I'M
packed first.
For one tall glass lemonade, use
Juice of one lemon, Ia to table
spoons sugar and u cup water.
To E. s., Arlington: To clean one
pint thermos half fill with hot water
adding 2 teaspoons of baking soda
and shake we'll Pour out and rinse
thoroughly with hot water. Lay on
It's side uncorked to allow airing.
Sterilize cork in boiling water.
Glass stopper should be rinsed in
luke warm sudsy water and dried
Immediately. For large crockery
thermos, such as you mention, per-
haps this method could be used,
merely increasing the amount Of
baking soda in proportion to the
size of the thermos jug.
There has been considerable dis
cussion lately about electric ranges.
Let me take this opportunity to tell
you about my gas range. In addi-
ton to the usual four burners and
oven there is a grill on which one
can cook pancakes, hamburgers,
grill sandwiches, and I am just wait
ing and hoping some day to get
steak to grill. There Is also a
broiler, and last but not least
warming closet with burner which
can be turned to a lower tempera-
ture than the oven. My husbands
business is such that I never know
when he is coming in for dinner, so
that the warming closet, to keep the
food at the right temperature, is
very helpful
