of the page a bright little clown
figure has been added to give in
terest to pretty but commonplace
combination of golden glow, lark
spur, daisies and carnations. Some
accessories have the quality of giving
additional charm and vitality to the
flowers with which they are used.
Remember that fact If your next
arrangement seems dull.
In the little basket in the lower
left we have tried to show how
much can be done with two or three
lily heads. Very often lilies grow
in clusters with too many blooms
for maximum effect. Clip off a few
and use them in incidental arrange
ments with bit of green. Lilies
are particularly lovely when you
can look down into their blooms.
For the next really scorching day
try garlanding block of ice with
cool, fresh greens. Let vinca vines
and few flowers garnish the ice.
You will feel and your table will
look degrees cooler.

From 1t. C. Cd, Washington
I think the salad dressing you
refer to might be Chambers Salad
Dressing made in Worcester, Mass,
for the past 20 years. I don't know
whether it is still made or not
because Mr.. Chandler died a few
years ago. But the address is 36
Belmont street, Worcester, Mass
This place was near my home and
I used to watch them make it in
the large back room when I was
on my way to school, I haven't
seen it in the stores there for some
time but the address may be able
to give you some assistance as to
the ingredients.

From Mrs. M. F., CheUerly, Md
Answer to F. NJ P, Arlington. If
you will write to Chandler Co.,
10 Belmont street, Worcester, Mass,
I'm sure you will get the dressing

sounds like Chambers no-oil dress

years. 1 am former Worcester

DILL PICKLES.

From Mrs. O. r. B., Rockpiue.)
Some time ago a lady requested
two recipes for dill pickles. Here
are two I have used and like very
we'll:
Crisp Dill Pickles: Two quarts
water, l cup salt. Boil, set aside
to cool. Best done the night
.before.) Fill jars with pickles
about inches long. Put dill in
through pickles. For every cups
of cold salt water add / cup of
vinegar. Pour over pickles cold and
seal jars in usual way. These may
be used from three weeks to one
year after being made and are crisp
and tasty. If the flavor of garlic Is
liked, add one or two cloves to
each jar.
Dill Pickles in a Crock: Wipe
cucumbers carefully Use a stone
crock. Arrange a layer of cucum-
bers, put in small red pepper, cut
into pieces; a big bunch of dill
seed on stalks, then a layer of
cleaned grape or cherry leaves Re-
peat layers. Add 2 pounds coarse
salt to gallons of water. Boil
and skim, replacing any water
evaporated so as to retain the same
quantity. Pour this solution over
pickles in the crock. On top of
last layer of cucumbers add more
dill, layer of cabbage leaves and
clean cloth. Cover them with a
plate and weight. Leave for two
or three weeks for fermentation to
take place. The cloth must be
washed frequently
Note: In making pickles always
use coarse salt Never fine table
salt Also use pure cider vinegar.
If possible use fresh green dill.

HELP WANTED!

From "Tonky', Sterling, Va
Unfortunately I didn't join you
folks soon enough to read what
Mrs. G. F. E. had to say. But
certainly am enjoying the spirit
shown in your many answers to
her. Your letters make me want
to be one of your group. May I?
A recent letter from Mrs. F. M
describes my living conditions fairly
accurately. I'm a Government girl
lucky enough to live in the coun-
try. But lack of construction ma
terials and electrical appliances
make things rather primitive for
while. Would appreciate any help
your experiences could give me,
Mrs. F. M.
I'm old enough to be ashamed to
admit it, but I don't know how to
keep house nor get meals even
under the best of conditions. Would
certainly appreciate any hints even
Of the most well-known type any one
will find time to send along. The
easiest way to keep floors looking
well, the simplest methods of hand
washing, any everyday, good old
standby recipes you may be willing
to share with me. Mrs. D. F.. r.,
would you be willing to send me
play-by-play directions for cooking
complete meal for two in my
pressure saucepan? Lack of ex-
perience gives me low level of
common sense along the lines of
home making. Am afraid the value
of any contribution from me will
be very low but I'll keep an eye
out for some way to repay those
of you who will write in for me.

Readers Clearing House

made but for the past IS years,
women have not spoken up much in
their own behalf. A little has been
said about the right of married
women to work along with men in
business but what a woman really
needs is much deeper than that. 1t
is the right to stay home where she
is needed and where many would
like to be except that the cost of
living demands that she leave her
home and children in order to bring
home the additional pay.
If each of these mothers were
given a certain amount for herself
let us say $4,000 per month and
$1,000 additional for each dependent
child, she would very likely be able
to make both ends meet staying
home.
And now let us consider the vaca-
ton that is due her. After hot
debate, the Senate, appropriated
money for the continued operation
of the child day care centers. More
of these centers should be estab-
lished and continued indefinitely as
relief stations for mothers who are
Ill or need vacation. Each mother
could use her own money to pay for
her children's care in the same pro-
portion that she does now. They
should not be called child day care
centers but merely child care cen
ters and they should be for all
mothers.
I am afraid many women who
read this will think these sugges-
lions are too radical. that the de-
mand is too great. 1t really is not.
England had similar movement
started but the last war halted it.
Doubtless it will be taken up again.
Is it not odd that this most i'm
portant Of all the jobs in the world
has been paid only by lip service
throughout the years?
AS F. M. says in her rebuttal
letter, 1.-The one job a man can't do,
the one job without which there
would be no point in any of the
others. for, without it there would
be no human race" That job above
all others has been rewarded the
least. Let us work to see that 1t is
lifted to the same elevation as any
other work women do because after
all, 1t is grand job and we love 1t.

FOR MODERN MOTHERS.


From Mrs. G. M, Hyattspille.)
Several weeks ago you printed my
letter in which I stated mothers
with dependent children should be
given a minimum wage and a def
mite vacation every year. I believe
I was somewhat misunderstood SO
I would like to state the idea I have
in mind more definitely.
To begin with would like to say
that the present era is time Of
social transition. Changes are TAX
ing place in our thinking and living
conditions faster now than they
have for several centuries past
Many of our adjustments to bring it
up to the level of our machine age.
In other words our ways of thinking
and living are still in the horse
and buggy era while our ability to
produce has advanced beyond even
the machine age. We are taking
our first cautious steps into the
atomic age. Books have been writ
ten on the subject so I will not 60
any further into that except to say
that in the social advancement that
is due to take place in the next
quarter century, mothers must hold
their own as they have never done
before. They must demand justified
concessions and insist on getting
them. Others will not do 1t for
them because only mothers under
stand how deep is the need for So
cial changes to bring their living
standards up to the level of other
working women.
Our grandmothers and great
grandmothers fought for recogni-
ton of the fact that they were
somewhat better than cattle. They
were finally rewarded with the
franchise and civil rights. Theirs
was the gallant fight as they started
the ball rolling. They fought
against inertia. Even women of
their time were hard to win over.
We women of today should not let
them down.
There is still much progress to be
