(From Mrs. E. R., Washington.

In answer to Mrs. j. j. M, Alex
andria, I will try to help. AS for
clothing, three or four lightweight
gowns, none are needed in midsum-
mer here, believe me. Three or
four summer shirts. I have found
the slipovers are much neater and
easier to handle. I would consult
the doctor regarding sleeves in these
or not. Three dozen diapers are
plenty. AS for booties, I have no
regard for them at all. I have two
children and neither one ever kept
them on more than five minutes.
They were just bother.
I bought two fancy dresses, but
these were~for my morale. I re-
ceived numerous dresses that were
just as lovely. AS for bonnets, I
waited until the baby was born,
then bought as I needed. Regard
ing blankets, three or four light
weight wrap arounds are enough.
Some one gave me a gorgeous blue
and white shawl which I used only
for visits. 1t was perfect for sum-
mer.
AS for sheets for the crib, four are
plenty, and again might be good
for a gift. I would buy four and
use those plus and any more that
were given me. Believe it or not
I used three pillowcases for covers
on the carriage pad. These sug-

BOILING EGGS?

From Mrs. G. P. H., Arlington)
A lady gave me recipe sometime
ago about boiling eggs in such a
manner that they were the same
all the time. She suggested that
they be put in the boiling water
and then the heat turned off and
left in water for 10 minutes. I
have tried this many times, but in
stead Of being soft-boiled for baby,
they are hard boiled. What did I
do wrong?

If you can't get bacon you may
have a little pig on your well-fltting
apron, with potholder, to give you
a good laugh.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
(Frons Mrs. r. M. A., WaShington.)
This suggestion, originally from
the Clearing House, has helped me
many times: Clean an unlit oven by
leaving a cloth dampened with am
monia in it overnight. In the morn
ing the dirt will brush off easily.
If 1 had a kitchen with brick k-red
linoleum, would paint the walls a
pale, clear gray and the woodwork
light yellow (half white and half
yellow, mixed, would be about right
Make curtains and dust covers for
electric appliances from the plastic
coated material now in many yard
goods departments; a green or yell
low gingham check would be good.
Use green and yellow bowls, can
listers and plastic-handled tools for
accents.
To Mrs. w. H. De L., make your
baby's junket in individual dishes
and use one each day.
For an April fool meal, serve to-
mato juice jelled in the glasses. Use
l tablespoon gelatin and 2 cups hot
tomato juice. Then have "choc-
olate pie" made with biscuit dough
for crust, meat pie mixture for filling
and Drowned mashed potato for
meringue.

MEASUREMENTS?

From H. G., Washington
I have found good recipe for
cookies, but I do not understand
the measurements. I wonder If any
one can tell me the equivalents in
teaspoons or tablespoons of % cup
and rs cup, etc. I should be so
grateful for an answer.
