CROCHETED EARRINGS;
COAT AND BONNET?

from Mrs. J. H. F., LnndoUer.)
For Mrs. K. S., Greenbelt. If she
will look on page 224 Of The Com
plete Book of Crochet by Elizabeth
Mathieson, she will find a small
Irish crochet motif which makes
a lovely set of earrings when made
in pairs. I used the very small balls
of tatting thread. which come in
profusion of lovely shades. I also
used larger thread in making these
motifs, using several of them sewed
together as an ornament for the
hair.
I would appreciate very much If
any one could give me crocheted
directions for coat and bonnet
for 2-year-old girl or tell me where
I can get these directions.
CHOCOLATE CHIFFON PIE?

SUGGESTIONS.
From Mrs. Fl. G. G., Washington. J
I agree with the lady who sang
the praises of an electric oven, over
the gas oven. I used one of them
for about four years in a Govern
ment housing project, and fell in
love with it from the start. can
truthfully say that I can't remem-
ber a single baking failure. Whole
oven meals can be baked at one
time. 1t is a much cleaner form
of cooking and baking, as if any
thing drops into the coils, the food
dropped, is Immediately burned up,
and one just brushes the unit when
it is cooled. A wet soapy cloth,
wiped over the unit top, keeps the
stove immaculate. The kitchen is
cool even on the hottest days when
one is using an electric stove, as
the heat stays in the stove instead
of being all over the kitchen.
However, the nearest thing to
using an electric stove is having
one of the roasterS. I don't quite
know what I would have done
without mine during the past
eleven years, and it still is giving
wonderful results. My make used
to be oval shaped and has only
five letters in the name of same.
Now they are making the same
electric roaster in square instead
of an oval shaped oven. 1t makes
the most delicious bread, pie, cakes,
and roasts any kind of meat to-
perfection, while baked ham and all
fowl dishes are truly delicious.
Whole meals can be baked at the
same time as the roast as there are
inset pans to take care OF vege-
tables. All one does to have COM
plete success with these electric
roasters is to follow the directions
in the recipe book. All meats to be
roasted whether roasts or fowl,
should be taken out of the ice box
several hours in advance until they
have attained the temperature OF
the room. Any chill left In the
meat from the refrigerator will
form liquid otherwise and will
stew the meat instead of roasting it.
When the meat has been allowed to
become room temperature, one has
wonderful success with these roast
ers. They are grand to have when
there is extra company, and large
turkey needs to be roasted while at
the same time. pies have to be
baked. I consider my roaster in
despensable.
For mothers who have hard
time washing small fry's hair, try
putting a wash cloth folded until
it Just covers the eyes of the child
who is having his hair washed, let
the youngster hold the cloth over
his eyes himself, and one can wash
the hair and rinse it to his hearts
content without too much opposi-
ton from the little one. I use this
method when my little girl is hav-
ing her bath. I wash the hair first.
rinse it and give her the bath. IT
