feminine way of dealing with thu
problem! L dare say it would work
too, as haywire-rigs often do.
Need I say that very much en-
joy and profit from the RICH? I
might well be given a full page.
do think, though, that too mucl
OF it is devoted to questions OF
cookery, whose answers could b,
found in the simplest of cook books
My favorite is 1.-The Joy of Cook
ing" which has a sense of humor
and also used to carry a money
back guarantee.

Shrinking PIE CRUST.
From Mrs. J. r. H,
Mitchellpille, Md
Here is my idea for keeping pie
crusts from shrinking and not near
" so much trouble as the ideas
Mrs. j. C. P. had. After rolling
the pie crust out, I turn the pie
plate face down, arrange the pie
crust over the bottom of the plate
prick to let air escape and bake
at the usual temperature. After
cooking let cool and when ready fol
use just take If off the bottom ano
put it inside the pie plate. 1t works
every time for me and I think the
idea is well worth passing on tc
your readers.

Gently which I would like to pass
on to the readers. In a pinch
grated large bar of floating soar

for one-haf bar would make enough
suds for q regular baby wash.
