MONDAYS CHILD"

(From Mrs. E. F. A., Washington. J
I opened the paper at random the
other night and the first thing my
eyes lit on was the question of w.
H. F., Arlington. And for once,
knew the answer. A year or two ago,
I bought, mainly for my own pleas
ure, and 1t has turned out to be my
daughters too, "A Treasury of the
Familiar, edited by Ralph L. Woods,
with the foreword by John P. Kier-
nan. 1t has everything in it from the
Lords Prayer" balcony scene from
Romeo and Juliet" to frankie and
Johnny" For what more could one
ask? Especially in ITO pages. I have
loved it because there are so many
things I read as child and have
never found again until now. hope
you know of it. You probably do, but
it's more fun to let the cash custom
ers answer the question. (P. S. I'm

School Stories
By Aneelo Patri

1t is not unusual for an imagin-
ative child to carry home story Of
outrage and upset whole neighbor-
hood, and the school, without any
basis of truth. For that reason par
ents should listen carefully, think
over the story, and the conditions
and causes behind it before starting
after the teachers life.
A girl went home with tale of
abuse by her teacher. "She hit me
and she knocked me down, and she
shook me and she tore my dress and
she called me names-detailing the
names"
What did she do it for?" de-
manded her mother.
Nothing. I didn't do anything.
was just sitting there. Somebody
talked and she thought it was me. !"
And you didn't tell her?"
"She wouldn't let me-"
Il don't believe this. Now don't tell
me lie. Remember"
Honest. You can ask Marie. She
knows. She saw it."
Marie being summoned said SOL
emnly: Eyes. She did. I saw her"
Convinced beyond doubt the angry
mother charged on the teacher and
poured out her wrath, growing
with each word. The class
was frightened and the teacher
edged the mother out Of the room
and said: Lets 60 to the ONCE

ment is in the water you can give
these spots special attention with
the soap.
3. Dissolve your soap fakes in hot
water and then run the cold water
into them to make the luke-warm
temperature that is necessary for
rayon fabric. One-hundred degrees
Fahrenheit is the right temperature
for rayons and make sure that your
rinsing waters are the same tenn
perature to prevent shrinking.
4 Plunge the garment into the
soapy water and press the suds
gently through and through the ma
terial. NEVER wiring or twist. Rub
those particularly soiled spots with
two Well-soaped-up fingers, but
don't rub and scrub away at them.
5. Follow the sudsing with three
thorough rinsings. Whenever you
lift the garment out Of the water,
support it with the hands SO as to
prevent stretching or loosing shape.
6. After you have taken the gar
ment from the last rinsing, press
excess dampness out with towel.

tween the front and back and an

portant that print surfaces do not
touch If you are to prevent color
bleeding AS the garment dries,
moisture will gather along the hem
line. From time to time press this
moisture out with q towel, using the
fats Of the hands.
7. Iron rayon with MOD
ERATELY HOT iron. Iron it on
the WRONG side while the material
is still evenly damp. II 1t has gotten
too dry, do not dampen it as you
would cotton, but use damp cloth
over 1t for pressing. II it is neces-
sary to ron some parts Of the gar
ment on the outside, do so with
dry pressing cloth laid over it. Iron
double thicknesses, first on the
wrong side and then on the right
side. Make sure that your iron does
not get too hot. II you do not have
a heat regulator on your iron, keep
testing it for heat from time to
time. Too hot an iron will give the
material hard glaze which is not
only unattractive to the garment.
but is seriously injurious. Be care
full, too, how you handle the point
of the iron. If you jab the point
into the material, it will weaken
and shortly after you will have
either worn spot or a run.
If you are ironing rayon jersey,
wait until 1t is thoroughly dry.
Turn the dress wrong side out, lay
it on the ironing board. and press
it with damp cloth. If the ma
terial is cut on the bias, be sure
to press it with the thread of the

If you are to succeed in develop
ing a paying business in your own
home the product you are selling
must be one of three things. 1t
must be superior to other similar
products, 1t must fill a real need, or
it must be extremely original.
First find out what you like to do
and can do best and then see II
there Is a market for your services
or product. For instance, every one
knows that it would be foolish to

a neighborhood far away from CEN

ing. Look your surroundings and
situation over to see If you are prop
erly located to make your hobby
pay off.
The variety Of home businesses
which women enjoy is great. Some
women make speciality of sew
ing certain articles beautifully, some
make stuffed animal toys. some spe-
clalize on a certain jelly or SOUP

Then there is caring for children
the boarding of convalescents, cook
ing apartment house dinners, which
you serve to the individual apart
ments, renting your living room to
single girls who live In one room
and like to see friends in a pleasant
home atmosphere, decorating chill
dren's furniture with stencils, grow
ing flowers, lending Libraries, max
ing doll houses, a shirt hospital,
typing, boarding pets, and on and
on 1t goes!
First, make your classification of
your abilities general Are you artis-
tic? Do you like children? Can
you sew? Can you cook? Do you
paint? Are you imaginative? Can
you sell? After these come the list
ing of things you can do under the

Before investing time or money
in your venture it is good idea
to talk it over with a lawyer in
order to be certain that you will
not run into any State or Federal
laws and in order to obtain any
license which may be necessary. In
many cases this will not be re-
quired.

These days what woman doesn t
have simply scads OF rayon fabric
in her wardrobe? It's In most of
our pretty blouses, in our undies
and now with spring here, no doubt
many OF us are buying printed
dresses of rayon. One of the &C
claimed glories OF rayon fabric Is
it's ability to 60 rub dub dub, into
the tub and come up bright and
clean as new. Still, however, we
hear panied cries from those who
still have diff1culty washing rayon
with the best results. It's true
enough that there is a certain knack
that the washing of rayon requires
In the light of the fact that during
the spring and summer months,
probably more rayon is bought than
at any other time Of the year, we
have decided to review the neces-
sary steps for, up to and into the
tub with rayon.
First of all, when you buy any
garment, look for the label which
gives you the information about the
material itself II the material Is
washable material. then look for
the label with specific washing di-
rections. Save this label and follow
the directions to the very T. How
ever, If there are no such directions,
here are some Of the general rules
which are we'll nigh a guaranteed
promise for successful Tubing.
l. Before you take a garment to
the tub, you must test its material
for color fastness. This is easily
done by shipping tiny piece of
the material from the inside seam
and dipping it into a glass of luke
warm water. II you don't want to
risk even mite off the seam, you
can pat clean cloth, dampened
with luke warm water on the inner
hem or the end of the belt. In any
event. II the discoloration in the
water Is none, or only very slight,
you can be reasonably sure that
the dye is set to take to the tub
for a wash up, and you can proceed.
2. Now with the trial tests over,
comes inspection time Go over the
garment very carefully for any nee
essary mending Remove any trim
mings which might not be washa BILE.
This means buttons which are COW
cred, buttons which are on metal
shanks that might rust and stain
or belt buckles which have been
covered with the material. Belts
which feel in thickness as though
they may be lined in a heavy mate
rial shouldn't 60 into the soap and
water, either. These things can be
cleaned with a little dry cleaner
fluid. Now turn the pockets all in
side out and brush away any lint
or dust which might have gathered
in the bottom. With light thread
outline all of the very obvious stains
and spots so that when the gar

pewter should be boiled in a lye
solution, but no directions were
given as to proportions, what kind

to boil, covered or uncovered. Does
any one know?
Another problem We make very
good yeast coffee cake dough, put
1t in the icebox and cut of a por-
ton to roll and bake as needed.
After a week or so, the icebox re-
mainder forms a hard crust, which
does not affect the goodness of the
cake, but crumbles off and makes it
very difficult to roll. I've tried stor-
ing the dough in moistened parch-
ment, waxed paper, rubbing over
with margarine, and rubbing over
with flour, but nothing seems to
prevent the crust. Is it unavoid-
able, or is there some manner in
which the dough can be stored and
remain as soft on the outside as
within? Since it contains yeast, it
must be stored in the ice chest.

FEEDING KITTENS.

From Mrs. M S. j., Arlington.)
To v. Y. S., Washington, who is
having cat-feeding problems, I
would heartily recommend to her a
book on cats, which I recently pur-
chased in the book department Of a
Washington department store, the
name of which is Care and Han
ding of Cats" by Doris Bryant.
| This is very complete book on kit
| tens and cats and answers just about
every problem that would come up
in regard to proper care and feeding.
Having had a mother cat for a few
years, have had a little experience
with kittens. This book will tell you
just when to begin feeding kittens
cows milk (though all of our kit
tens seem to have preferred diluted
canned milk, warmed). when to feed
them "Pablum," mixed either with
warmed milk, beef or chicken broth
or raw egg. I have also fed very
young kittens slightly cooked scraped
beef, which is supposed to be espe-
cialy good for them.
From Mrs. J. D., Takoma Park
In answer to the query about rails
ing cats, I will give my experience.
j have 4-year-old cat which
weighs 13 pounds. When I first got
him he was so small I had to feed
him with a medicine dropper. He
has had almost no meat, but raised
him on canned milk with bit Of dry
cereal mixed with it and a bit of
canned fish added to it. When it
was obtainable I gave him salmon,
now it is haddock, never sardines.
Once or twice week I add beaten
egg to his food. Besides this he eats
vegetables from the table and is
fond of most of them, such as peas,
lima beans, string beans and carrots.
Potatoes he will eat, but they are
not too good for him because they
are starchy. Also, he likes raisins,
cottage cheese and small amount
of plain bread He has good appe-
tite and is healthy without meat.

DRESS SHIELDS?
HOLES IN HOSE?

From Mrs. M. E. B., Washington
I enjoy the RICH very much and
would like to get the experienced
views of your readers on my two
problems. Sewing in dress shields
(it seems that I'm always spending
great deal of time sewing them
in, and unless I sew them all the
way around they curve under or
fold at the edges after I wear the
dress and not only do I lose the
maximum effectiveness, but the
shield itself becomes creased and
spoiled. I should also like to know
what type Of dress shield is general
ly accepted as the most efficient.
All I have bought recently, though
considerably high priced, are not
durable beyond the first washing.
All the shoes I have purchased
recently rub holes or worn places
in the upper heel of my hose. Does
any one know from experience Of
anything I might insert in the heels
of my shoes to prevent this?
