ROSE PETAL 6ACHET.
(Fr0nt Mrs. +. w. McG.. Wash.

fngEOn.)
To E. j., inquiring how to make a
sachet Of rose petals in a jar: Many,
many years ago, We made rose
jar" or a "potpourri of roses. in
this way. The Jar was ornamental
and had two covers or lids, the inner
one was perforated to allow the odor
to come out. We put in a layer of
rose petals, then thin layer of salt
with a sprinkle of spice, continuing
this until the jar was nearly full.
When this was seasoned, we re-
moved the top cover of the jar be-
fore company came and the air OF
the room had pleasant fragrance.

USING LINOLEUM.
(From Mrs. A. M. c., Washington.
For the lady who inquired as to
the desirability of using linoleum
for bathroom walls in the house she
is planning to build: Our house was
built nearly eight years ago and had
linoleum wainscoting installed at
that time. 1t warped away from the
walls, and leaked" plaster into the
tub after four years service, so we
had it torn out and replaced with
tile at quite high cost. Other
people in the neighborhood who at
tempted to have the linoleum re-
glued to the walls found it quite un-
satisfactory. don't know of any
one who has had experience with
linoleum walls who prefers them to
tile. and certainly wouldn't recon-
mend them myself. The contractor
who built our house put tile baths in
the houses he built later, even when
they were of generally cheaper con-
struction.
ADVICE TO MOTHER.
(From r. w., Arlington.)
I have feeling, Mrs. A. r. R., that
much of your trouble is physical.
Our minds can't really function
properly when we are physically
rundown. So my first advice is see
your doctor Immediately.
Secondly. even in the best of
health, taking care Of three children
Is quite a job and you do need to
have them taken off your hands to
afford you time and leisure and re-
Taxation. I just read a child guild
ance authority who stated that
no woman can take care of children
"a hours day and make good job
of it."
Why does your husband have to
have quiet when he gets home Gun
less he is sick)? Most fathers I
know take over the children when
they get home, take them for walks
If 1t is early, or bathe them and put
them to bed If he arrives home after
their dinner hour. The nice part
of it is that they all enjoy it, and it
certainly helps what consider the
dead" spot Of the day, late after
noon just before dinner, to let the
children look forward to daddy will
be home soon." 1t acts like a tonic,
and the war-whoop with which
daddy will be greeted is just a Joy
to him.
I wish I could give you some
schedule. but never keep one my
self, and find children differ so in
their ability or desire to do things.
Mine has dressed herself since she
was 3, and will set the table
and clean her room, but I know
other children Of who will not

Milk Glasses

In washing glasses that have con-
tanned milk, do not use warm water
as 1t will coat the glasses. Use a
tumbler with cold water and rinse

dress themselves. Therefore, I think
1t is better to try to find what the
children are capable of doing and
what they would like to do, rather
than try to make them do certain
things. I find the negative approach
frequently works. Il don't think
you could dry yourself before you
get out of the bath. This towel is
really much too big for you to
handle" or I'D let you set the table
but I'm afraid the plates are too
heavy" However, don't over do it,
as they catch on rather quickly.
Good luck, and remember, the
main thing is that father has a
responsibility also. They are his
as well as yours and he isn't any
tireder from his days work than
you are from yours.

TEA SANDWICHES.
POMANDER BALLS.
(From Mrs. r. P. p, Washington.)
I surely hope some RICH readers
do send in ideas for the dainty tea
sandwiches. I'm not very original
or clever, but I'd love to have some
one teach me how. Perhaps we
can get bread soon and have our
iced tea parties.
To the lady who wants to make
"pomander balls: I've made many
but always with apples. I used the
medium sour ones. Rub lightly with
lard Or shortening. Push whole
cloves into them, over the whole
surface. Tie ribbon on the stem
and you have a pretty inexpensive
gift that keeps its fragrance several
years.
THANK YOU" NOTE.
(Fron1 Mr.. P. H. T., Washington
This is to thank RICH and Mrs.
R. F. for the recipe in regard to
baked carp. I baked mine accord
ing to Mrs. r. F's recipe and it
was the best had ever tasted. Now

and II cooked right it is delicious.
