CUSTARD:
HAIR FROM EYES.
(From Mrs. A. j., Washington
For Mrs. G. L., Arlington, the only
custard recommended by my pedia-
trician for an 8-month-old baby is
baked one made as follows: Warm,
do not scald; q cup of milk, dis
solve in it l tablespoon brown sugar.
then stir in yolk of an egg, pinch of
salt. Pour into ungreased baking
cup, set in pan of hot water and
bake In a moderate oven, 325-35O
degrees, until knife inserted in Gus
tard comes out clean. Later on the
child may have soft, boiled custards,
the recipes for which are easy to
find. At months, my baby began
canned BABY custard puddings,
which are great time saver.
For the lady who asked how to
keep fine, short hair from hanging
In her little girls eyes, have a reply
which may shock her. My oldest
! child had the same problem. final
~ took her to a good hairdresser,
who rolled up all the loose hairs and
set them with type of permanent
wave fluid called fnger-wave per-
manent. We did not pay any atten-
ton to the slight curl which the
hair was given, but fastened it back
with bobby pins, and due to the
body given 1T by the wave solution
the hair stayed out of the child's
eyes.

Attention Mrs. K. W., Alexandria.
re: Child's unruly locks. My sug-
gestlon would be to braid baby" rib
bon in with the hair for the last
inch or so, then tie securely and
turn the braid under and tie in a
neat little bow close to the head.
On those stray locks which Just
won't work in, you might apply hair
lacquer, which you can obtain at any
department or 10-cent store. Apply
with a small piece of cotton and let
dry. 1t does not show and is harm
less to the hair.
(From Mrs. c. L. R., Arlington.)
For the little 4-year-old whose
fine front hair falls into her eyes,
Mrs. c. K, Alexandria, might try an
experiment which a friend of mine
found successful. Parting the hair
In the middle, my friend French
braided the fine, long hairs on each
side and carried them into little
pigtails over her child's ears. French
bra1dlng is simply picking I'D each
strand of hair directly at the scalp
as you braid. This, of course, means
that the plait is attached tightly to
the head, and can be continued until
the longer back hair is reached and
a free plait then made. The effect
Is unusually attractive and the hair
remains neat through the day.
(From L. M. X, Pearson, Md
I am steady reader of the RCH
and want to thank you for all the
good things in it. I especially want
to thank Mrs. j. S. B. of Falls
Church for the recipe for Boston
Cream Pie. I didn't ask for it, but
have wanted it for a long time.
I had the same trouble with my
little girls hair as does the lady
who wrote in a few days ago. T
braid her hair and fasten braids
with rubber bands and cover the
bands with ribbons. The front hair
Is the worst, but stays quite nice
when I spray it with hair LACQUER
and brush it back. hope this helps,
because messy hair can ruin the good
grooming mother works so hard
for.

LIVER EXTRACT.
From Mrs. M. r. NJ, Alexandria, J
This is for the reader who wanted
to know how to make liver extract.
This method is the same for max
ing beef tea, which is also very nour-
ishing and grand to build up the
health of invalids or anyone who is
run down. Take pounds of the
meat, any cheap cut of beef or beef
liver, and cut into small pieces. Put
them in Mason jar with a very
little salt and perhaps a stalk of
celery tor f1avor). Close the jar
tightly and put into saucepan of
hot water, so that the water comes
about p of the way up around the
jar. The jar need not be completely
covered with water. Let the water
boil gently for about 3 hours and
you will have a good serving of the
extract in the jar. The meat left is
not good for much, since all the
flavor has been drawn out in the
tea. But for economy, it can be
ground for use in shepherds pie,
or some such dish. Be sure to sea-
son it well if you use it.
