HOW ABOUT A TRAILER?
From Mrs. X. M. J., Washington
Are there any happy trailer
dwellers among RCH's many read
ers? We are considering buying
one and would like your opinions
and experiences. Do they depre-
ciate much in value? Can they be
heated properly in winter? And are
they any hotter than the rest OF
Washington in summer? Are trail
ler camps excessively noisy? Is 1t
possible to serve good meals handi-
capped by the small stove and re-
frigerator? Do children get on your
nerves in the rather cramped quar-
ters? Our son is year old. very
good, but quite active. We plan
later on to send him to a good
nursery school for a few hours a
day. Are trailers really much
cheaper to live in? My husband
saws we could afford to indulge
more in the many sports We enjoy.
eat out at frequent intervals, have
week ends away from the city and
he even says that then, I, too,
would have 40-hour work-week.
Frankly, it sounds attractive.
TYPEWRITER;
MEALS ON BOAT?
From Mrs. T. H. c., RockUilie.)
In reply to the inquiry about the
typewriters, I think can be OF
some help. The type OF machine
you should have depends upon the
use to which it will be put. For a
lot of tipping, the standard is the
one to own. 1t is more substantial
and has the tabular keys which are
great help. For just now and
then work or for travelling, the port
able is ideal. I have used both in
the past few weeks, and being a
typist myself, I think the lady who
inquired will find the standard
much more satisfactory.
Now I have a problem of my own.
Early next month we are planning
boat trip which will last ten days,
barring a shipwreck! There will be
five of us, and I am earnestly re-
questing help, in planning menus
for this time. Last year we took
similar trip and got along fairly
well, but there was plenty of room
for improvement. The facilities in
clude a three burner alcohol stove,
a or 4 cubic foot ice box, various
pots and pans, and a PRESSURE
COOKER. The pressure cooker will
be great help, I know. eve didn't
have one last year, and fried foods
became a little tiresome) We will
be able to stop along the way and
stock up on fresh foods, but most
of the canned things I would like
to take along.
Needless to say, the galley is very
small and storage space is limited.
l hope some one has had a similar
experience and will be able to help
me plan something new and diff
ferent. I will be the only female
on board, but won't do all the cook
ing, so how about a couple of
simple things the men could pre-
pare whilst I sunbathe?
Dozens of well-deserved bouquets
to the RICH, read it every night
and love it dearly. I think it's Won
derful that we can all get together
and help each other out. Let's have
it on Saturdays and Sundays, too!

(Front M. D., Washington.)
I would be very grateful to the
RICH reader who can tell me how
to preserve the fragrance of rose
