well. Then beat the egg whites and
fold in the egg yolk mixture lightly
SO as not to take all the air out of
the whites. I use butter or mar
garine in the skillet. Heat skillet
and pour mixture into it, using full
flame a minute or two so as to set
1t and then turn down slightly so
as not to burn it. Cover with q lid
AS 1t browns on the bottom and
cooks, score in the middle and fold
one-half over on top of other and
fry just little longer. Serve i'm

Diced ham or leftover peas may
be added before frying.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
From Mrs. X. L. Gu. Washington J
With reference to Mrs. F. K, Ar
lington, asking if any one had ever
eaten aplets. I would like to tell
her "yes" and that they come from
my home State of Washington. I
believe they were made at CASH
mere, Wash, and are simply de-
licious. Have not had any lately
and possibly they are not made now
due to the scarcity of sugar.
I believe they are also made in
Virginia and Maryland, but as far
as I know originated in Washing
ton State.
In reference to the lady who in
quired about leaving clothes in
drawers when moving, would like
to tell her that the moving COM
panies prefer you to leave things in
the drawers, but wedge them tightly
so they (the drawers) do not fall
out. have moved several times
IN the past four years, just recently
back from st. Louis, and always
pack the drawers full.

HINTS:
REMOVING KHAKI COLOR?
From Mrs. J. N. X, Arlington.)
For the reader who wanted to
know how to remove iron rust, the
directions were in May, 1914, Good
Housekeeping. Spread the stained
portion over a bowl of hot water
and apply few drops of SO solu-
tlon OF oxalic acid. Pour hot water
through the stain and repeat the
oxalic acid treatment if necessary
I have tried this and it works.
When washing corduroy overalls,
I don't wiring them, but hang them
up dripping, consequently no IRON
ing Is necessary.
I have found that my lettuce
stays Grips longer by placing it in
a cellophane bag after I have
washed it.
Another thing I'd like to know
have any of the readers had sue
cess in taking khaki color out of
shorts and towels I've tried several
things, but the color remains.

SUGGESTIONS.
From Mrs. E. N. H., Washington.
I read an article the other day
that might interest Mrs. M. E. B. of
Washington, who has trouble with
her shoes rubbing holes in her hose
Rub wax (paraffinD on the spots
likely to wear out before wearing
the hose and after each washing.
Friction is what causes the hose to
wear.
To Mrs. E. w. of Arlington. To-
clean dirty brass, copper or pewter

and let set for an hour, then rub
of. Wash with water and polish.
