better just to rent each summer,
and then we could go to different

CONDITIONS IN GENEVA?
From Mrs. A. J. P, Arlington.)
My husband is going to Geneva,
Switzerland, next month on a busi-
mes strip. My 2-year-old girl and I
are going to accompany him. We ex-
pect to be away five or six months.
I am wondering If any of your read
ers have any CURRENT information
on the food situations in Geneva. Is
good milk available? Some one has
told me only goats milk could be
had. Also do they have the variety
of green vegetables we have? My
little girl eats her green vegetables
so well now but am afraid If she
went without them for that length
Of time it would be hard to make her
eat them again when we come home.
For instance, I had asparagus for
dinner the other night. She refused
to eat it as I do not have it fire.
quently.
Another question In my mind is
have they plenty of soap, or is it still
scarce there?

spoon of sugar and half teaspoon
of salt for the average 1our-person
family serving.
