Child May Be Right

Fathers and mothers sometimes
get into controversies with their
well-grown children that threaten
their friendly relations for years to
come. The young people, in college,
in business, maybe at home, are
people of considerable independ-
ence. They lack the experience of
the mature folk, but they have
strong opinions, desires and ambi-
tons. The thing to remember is
that they may be right.
In their great love for their chill
dren parents try to plan for them so
as TO avoid troubles that might re-
suit from the child's ignorance and

SLIP COVERS.


LINOLEUM FOR BATH?
from Mrs. L. w., Washington
After reading j. C's letter about
the lovely celanese draperies, must
pass on my recent experience in slip
cover cleaning. They were tailor
made slip covers, made by a reput-
able firm here last year, and I
cleaned them for the first time this
spring. Since I was told they were
washable and colorfast, and they
were the same material as my drap-
cries which washed we'll, I put them
in to soak for a few hours in mild
soap and water never giving them a
thought. When went to rinse them,
the wine-colored binding had stained
every bit of the material it had
touched and the stain could not be
rinsed or washed out.
We were in despair, as we had
been so proud of them, and the firm
would only make small settlement
for the damage. So, as last resort,
we sent them to a local dry-cleaning
plant to be dyed, although we'd had
no experience with dyeing. but any
thing was better than as they were.
OF course, we thought the material
would fade when the bleach was
used on the stains, but surprisingly,
the material Came out of the bleach
as attractive and bright as 1t was
originally, all the stains were gone,
and the binding was changed to a
peach pink, and blends very well
with the lovely floral material. So
the material was obviously very good,
whereas the binding was obviously
very bad
However, since then I have seen
slip covers which had to be dyed
because of the strong bleach used
for the stains, and 1 want to say
that they are beautiful. The color
scheme, of course, was changed with
the dyeing, but 1t is blended 80
beautifully any one would be proud
of the covers.
Now, I want to ask if any one has
had experience with cemented- down
inlaid inoleum for bathrooms? We
will build a new home in the near
future, and to me, linoleum seems
SO much more attractive than tile.
but I do not know about its wear
ability.

SUGAR SAVER.
From Mrs. E. J. j., Washington
To Mrs. B. L., Arlington, my
little girl received two one-pound
Easter eggs, which were not eaten.
Since I use package pudding that
requires sugar, they were used in
this mixture.

BREAKFAST SUGGESTIONS?

From Mrs. C. E. H., Upper Marl-

Can some one help me with my
problem on what to serve my hus-
band for breakfast? He doesn't like
cereal of any kind or fruit juices
He likes eggs and bacon, but grows
tired of them, too.
I also want to thank E. NJ R.,
Bethesda, Md, and Mrs. H. J. B., Mt
Rainier, Md, for the wonderful help
they gave me on making stuffing for
fowls.
I'd like to make suggestion on
how to use sheets that are worn.
Take the best part and make pillow
cases or small dresser scarfs. EN-
broider with a blanket stitch. It's
surprising how much more wear you
can obtain from them. 49,.

BUTTER MAKING.
From Mrs. A. C. P, Washington
quite agree with Mrs. A. M.
about whipping cream for making
butter. Naturally, as long as dairy
men find cream more profitable
they won't be making it into butter
If it spoiled on the shelves few
weeks, they'd change their minds I
do consider it my business how other
women spend their pennies, mas
much as it is my pocketbook that is
affected also, by imitation.
However. 1 do make my own but
ter, from the top of the milk, pre-
ferring to drink my milk skinned
and have butter than to drink whole
milk and not have butter. I'm not
an economical user of butter, either,
seasoning most vegetables with it.
However I still find 1 have cream
for berries and making 1ce-cream.

DANGER!
TO CLEAN DRAPERIES.
MILDEW ON CURTAINS

From Mrs. r. K, Brentwood, Nd
To N. M. Mel. in regard to clean
ing her draperies with cleaning fluid
in the washing machine: My dear
lady, you made my heart sink when
you asked if there was any danger.
You bet there is! A few years ago
I sawsthe home that was wrecked
by explosion and fire because a lady
was cleaning clothes by using the
cleaning fluid in her washing
machine.
II N. M. Mel. still wishes to clean
her draperies I would suggest this
method: Place a box out in your
yard, or neighbours if you do not
have a yard. Put one dishpan on
box and pour hot water into the
dishpan. Place second dishpan into
first one, pour your cleaning fluid
in second pan. Warm the cleaning
fluid until it is luke warm, then take
it out of the pan of water. First
sponge the spot with fluid. Then
put the article to be cleaned into
the cleaning fluid and push down
with wire potato masher and pull
article up with thumb and one
finger. This saves burning both
hands. Repeat pushing and pulling
several times. Then drain and it
is ready to hang on the clothesline
in mild breeze to evaporate and
air. Then press later. This is the
way my mother cleans her clothes.
For the lady with mildew on
shower curtains, soak your shower
curtains in a solution of bleach, &C
cording to directions on the bottle
for mildew, for an hour before you
are going to wash. Wiring it out of
the solution and wash as usual in
your washing machine. 1 presume
that your. shower curtain is duck
material. If it doesn't come out the
first time, thoroughly, soak curtain
again before laundering. Between
showers stretch the curtain out on
the rod TO dry.

RAISING GUPPIES.

NAlolN1 HOI I1cO.
From Mrs. o. B. T., Washington
To Mrs. E. B. c., Washington: The
water should not be changed until
it is necessary. about two months,
depending on number of guppies
However, add a cup Of water from
time to time as 1t evaporates. Do
not change to fresh cold water, they
cannot stand the sudden change in
temperature. Let stand until room
temperature before changing. Most
important, do not overfeed. Feed
once day, about same hour, and
only mere sprinkle. Use food for
tropical fish and follow directions
on box. The grown fish will eat
the little ones, SO when you notice
that there are to be young ones, put
the female in separate bowl and
remove the little ones when they
arrive. A month ago I found IS
little ones with one mother guppy
Usually get 8, but year ago there
were 25 They bear young several
times a year. I put the female back
in the aquarium with the others
and put her in bowl to herself five
days later. Fifteen days later the
IS little ones arrived.
