PAPER VS.. PAINT.
FORMULA STAINS.
(Fron Mrs. F. NJ, Arlington.)
For some time I've been mean
ing to answer the inquiry of the
reader who was interested In the
advantages of papering over paint
ing, but doing my sewing for my
four sons has kept me busy.
We live in a rented house, and
while we wanted the rooms clean
and attractive we could see no ad-
vantage in using the cold water
paint which had originally been
used on the walls. This paint shows
every smear, will not wash too well,
and is hard to care for where there
are small children.
We used the new type paper
which is pre-pasted and needs only
to be dipped in water, and we were
more than pleased with the results.
The paper is washable, colorful,
and comes in a package contain
ing a matching border as well as
complete instructions.
We preferred the plain paper in
one room and since there was no
absolutely plain paper, we used the
ceiling pattern, which is plain and
comes in ivory or white. We then
bought separate colorful border.
Since our bedroom furniture has.
been enameled a glossy black with
bright flower decals, and our wall
pictures are bright and framed in
black, the effect was pleasing.
The cost is about So for the aver
age room, although our ceilings
were clean and painted so we did
not paper them and thereby the
cost was about $3.50 per room.
Since we have a new baby, was
pleased to know about the way to
remove formula stains. When nv
triplet sons were small I inquired
Of many people about this but never
knew until recently that household
ammonia or commercial shampoo
(applied before laundering) were
very effective for the removal of
formula stains on baby clothes.
Commercial shampoo Is affective in
removing cod liver oil stains also.
I really look forward to sitting
down to reading RCH in the eve
ming. It has been more than help
full. Let's keep 1t cooperative and
leave the squabbling to the other
columns. RCH is much too nice to
spoil
TO MEASURE SHORTENING:
CHINESE RECIPES?
from A. L. G., Arlington.)
To measure firm shortening, sub
tract fraction (of cupfuD required
from cup, and put that much
cold water in measuring cup. Add
shortening, pressing it down under
the water to remove air pockets,
until water reaches rim of cup and
all shortening is submerged. Pour
of water. The remaining shorten
ing is correctly measured.
Can any reader supply Chinese
recipes? My favorites are sweet
and pungent pork and egg rolls,
but others would also be welcome.
