chance of getting popcorn that

At the Eastern market this morn
ing I saw a variety of fish and sea-
food that should help materially in
planning your Lenten menus. One
dealer I talked to had as complete
q stock as I've ever seen. There
were sliced swordfish, haIbut and
salmon steaks, scallops, oysters,
picked lobster meat, crabmeat,
shrimp (both green and cooked, and
a complete line of fresh seasonal
fish. Another dealer specializes in
the smoked varieties. You will find
smoked white fish from the Great
Lakes, sable, and Labradors as well
as salt herring and mackerel.
Other things spied as walked
around were picked tripe, barrel
raut, dried apples, frog legs, all
kinds of dried beans which include
navy, pintos, red kidney, blackeyed
peas, large limas, Great Northern
marrows, plenty of rice, orange
blossom honey, full line OF bakery
products and fresh grated coconut.
Underground corn meal for spoon
breads, corn sticks and the like; they
tell me that each Friday and Satur-
day they have huge kettles of hot
hominy on sale.
You'll find first quality roasting
chickens, stewers, fryers, also cut-up
chicken where you can buy just the
pieces your family Ike-all white or
all dark, turkeys, ducks and, of
course, plenty of fresh eggs.
Another item 7 saw that you may
have been looking for and couldn't
locate is Washingtons own self
raising buckwheat and wheat -four
for hot cakes these wintery morn
ings. They told me this -four has
been manufactured here in Wash
ington since 1895 and was advertised
in The Star way back in 1905! With
this -four you simply add cold water
or cold sweet milk, little brown
sugar or molasses to give the cakes
a rich brown color, stir as little as
possible and bake as soon as mixed.
If you go for buckwheat cakes, here's
your chance to have them again with
no trouble at all.
There were all types of cheese to
be had-sharp spreads In the bulk,
excellent domestic Gorgonzola, grade
A domestic "Sweitzer," New York
and Wisconsin aged cheddar, New
York limburger in pound packages
and some perfectly delicious wine
cured cheddar, plus all the regu-
lar packaged varieties.
AS for the fresh fruits and vege-
tables, here again you'll have a wide
choice Of the best quality merchan-
disc. Just to mention few-Hood

CARPET FOR DINETTE?
(Froms Mrs. A. H. T., Washington
MY husband and I have just pur-
chased a small home in which the
dinette is part Of the living room
(forming an L-shaped room, sepa-
rated by a wide arch). I have
thought of buying wall-to-wall car
peting. In the readers opinion, is
the -to-wall rug practical as to
cleaning and also wearing quality.
or is it preferable to buy standard
size rug?
CLEANING IVORY?
From Mrs. NJ. J. ~, Fredericksburg.)
Regarding the request of Mrs. E.
j. c. of Washington for directions
on cleaning an antique ivory carved
box. 7 have two very fine carved
ivory figurines and always cleanse
them thus:
Completely submerge in a bath
of milk and leave for an hour or
more, depending on amount of soil.
Brush gently but thoroughly with
brush (medium stiffness, tooth
brush is best). If dust and soil does
not completely come of, renew ap-
plication and leave in bath longer.
This is an Oriental method and has
always helped cleanse my pieces.
Never use water on ivory art OBJ
jects. The yellow shade that ap-
pears on ivory does not disappear.
This mellowness adds to value.
