rors, etc. You'll be surprised how
much help little planning car
be. If you are moving locally. i,
Is wonderful opportunity to dc
your seasonal cleaning. If you have
a car available, it is we'll worth
your trouble to roll up your rugs
a day or two before and lay them
down in the new home. And your
curtains freshly laundered and
hung before moving day makes it
home" from the start. 1t saves
newly done floors to lay newspa-
pers down and so often moving
day dawns cloudy and gray! II
you have a large thermos of hot
coffee ii the weather is raw, or
cold drinks If the weather is hot
the moving men as we'll as your
selves will appreciate it. I forgot
to tell you if there is a refrigerator
already installed, 60 over and start
it the night before as we'll as the
hot-water apparatus.
From Mrs. w. B. H., Culpeper, Va. J
I enjoy the RICH very much and
would like to contribute a few
items. First to Mrs. j. N. D., Falls
Church. l think I've moved as much
as most any one. BY all means
have the drawers packed, as this
saves space and extra work too.
They can be removed until the base
is loaded and then put them back
in place. You will have more boxes
than you know what to do with
anyhow. Have your rugs where
they can be the first things off if
possible. Lay them before you put
anything in the room. Then things
can be placed where you want them.
To Mrs. R. j. T., Washington,
have you tried Kidney Bean Salad?
Drain beans (you can rinse them If
you like, put in bowl, add chopped
boiled egg, green pepper, celery,
onions sweet pickles, a little salt.
MIX all with little salad dressing
or mayonnaise, mixed with little
sweet pickle vinegar. I sometimes
add cheese and lettuce. Very nice.
/ use the vinegar out of the sweet
pickles when make my salad dres-
ing for potato salad Don't have to
use any sugar. One egg well beaten,
about "a cup vinegar, teaspoon
butter tcan be omitted, cook for
a few minutes until thick. Stir
while cooking.
SAN FRANCISCO HOUSING.
From Mrs. H. w. c., Washington.
To Mrs. C. B. L., Alexandria, who
I hope will get other and more en-
couraging answers to her query re
housing in San Francisco. However.
as I have seen no replies to date,
will send this along.
I left S. F. early in December and
the apartment and house scarcity
equaled the situation here-also the
aversion to children. The hotels at
that time were limiting a persons's S
stay to five days unless in military
service. This ruling might very likely
have been relaxed by this time.
Strongly advise reservation. Will be
glad to furnish names of a number
OF hotels If Mrs. G. B. L. wants to
contact me at Ordway 2550.
DRY DRESSING.
From Mrs. M. X. NJ, CheUy Chase,
Md.)
I am glad some one else likes dry
dressing. I am the only one of my
family who does, so I seldom make
1t, but hope you will enjoy my
recipe.
First. toast your bread in the
oven, turning it over until brown
and entirely dry. Then grind it,
add poultry seasoning to taste and
pour over a little at time broth
Il cook my giblets first and use the
broth from them, mixing with a
spoon until it is all moist but not
wet. 1t will not stick together, but
when served tumbles out nice and
crunchy. I never use any butter
If my broth is tasty. When l don't
use enough broth I add hot water.
After heating in the fowl it absorbs
enough taste.
PUFFY OMELET.
From Mrs. E. w. B., Washin1ton. J
I've only seen one reply to the
puffy omelet request and believe my
method is a little easier and has
never failed me.
Separate egg yolks and whites.
For each egg yolk add l tablespoon
OF milk and dash of salt and beat
