be rather crisp ana TO noid us shape
make a meringue using egg
whites, 4 tablespoons granulated
sugar, Is teaspoon cream of tartar,
adding sugar and cream of tartar
to the stiff1y beaten whites. The
meringue looks lovely right after
it is taken out of the oven but
soon becomes sticky, shrinks and
find it bit watery right under the
meringue after the pie is placed II
the ice box.
We are very fond of lemon
meringue and chocolate meringue
pies and I would be very grateful
for suggestions. I recently made
chocolate mocha pie, using direc-
tons on a box of chocolate pudding
but the filling was quite soupy and
l can't understand why.
MOVING CAT?
From Mrs. H. F., Washington
In another week We move from
D. C. to Virginia, a distance of Il
miles. All is in readiness except
the family cat.
Born and raised on the premises
he rules the family with a firm paw
not always sheathed. He is moi
going to submit to forced trip il
our car without bloodshed 'oul
blood unless some method unknown
to us is devised. We tried him out
intending to take him around the
block. After so feet of progress
with bowling, claWing wildcat We
opened the door and gave up.
We would all miss the cheeky ole
dear. However. after hearing tales
of cats that walked back 20 miles
to the old place we are fearful Of
our efforts being in vain. None Of
the neighbors love him enough tc
cope with his claws and his ap-
petite for raw meat.
To sum up our needs: Is it pos
sible to transplant so settled cat?
How is the moving to be accom-
plished? Would a painless demise
via the Animal Rescue League be
kindness to kitty?

HAIR-DO.
From Mrs. E. T. A., Washington. J
To Mrs. A. A. H. Well, you've
almost stopped me. l have attempt
ed three verbal descriptions of how
l do my hair and one graphic one
of very poor drawings all of which
seem horribly confusing in face of
the fact that doing my hair is so
very easy and simple l do not have
pompadour effect at all-but rath-
er the result is the wrapped, OF
twisted effect advocated by the high
fashion magazines just prior tc
this new craze for the feather cut
I part my hair on the right side all
the way to the back about three
inches behind my right ear. l com,
on the left side (the heavy side
up and forward, placing one CONT
(Which I later remove) at about
crown of the head Then I grasp
this thick bunch of hair and liter
ally just lay it across the top OF
my head anchoring it with one big
bone hairpin. I place the hairpin
over the thick mass of hair-such as
you would place the hairpin over a
pencil or over your finger. I insert
the hairpin pointing toward the
left-then I remove the comb. There
will be mass of ends sticking out
toward the right-just leave them
Then I comb up the right side
this forms nice diagonal line
from right to left across the back
I anchor this bunch of hair in the
same manner as I did the heavier
side behind the left mass of hair
but with the hairpin pointing to-
ward the right. That thick bunch
of ends from the left side should
be concealed Cif you've done ii
rightly under the right hair. You'll
find you have a tail" left over
