For Mrs. F. P. D., Washington:
To lengthen hem: had the same
trouble but I purchased some plaid
that had almost the same shade OF
blue predominating in its color
scheme and made cuff set for my
dress and used the rest to make a
4-inch addition at the bottom OF
my dress; the cuffs of the same ma
terial gave an authentic touch and
the dress didn't have that has-been
look. You could get heavy satin the
shade of your wool dress and do the
same and have buttons made of the
satin to put down the front that
would match the added piece at the
bottom.
For Mrs. v. H. L., Waldorf. For
watermelon supper at Christmas
time. My grandmother selected two
medium sized melons, not too ripe.
How she knew they weren't too ripe
I can't tell. Anyway she melted in
an old portable wash tub huge
blocks of paraffin and as it cooled
she put the melon in and let the
wax harden around it and when
entirely cold stored 1t away in a
dark, dry, but fairly cool place
until Christmas evening; removing
the paraffin by heating earlier in the
day and cooling the melons on the
side porch afterward until serving

Why Grow Old?

Of exposure to wind and sun, we
must oil our epidernis up with
creams. These should be allowed
to soak into the skin each day for
several hours If we are not going
to leave them on all night.
Special eye creams should be
patted into the skin about the eyes
each night and should be mas
saged along the lines at the end
of the eyes, using a rotary motion
and the foreflnger. This should be
done gently. A woman can smooth
out these dim crows feet in this
way.
I think every woman past 80
should indulge in facial exercises
and should use a hormone cream.
General exercise, fine nutrition,
habits of emotions and thoughts,
and facial expressions, are also re.
flected dramatically in your face.
If you wish to have my facial ex-
ercises, send stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope with your request

A fourth volume includes 'tMiscel-
laneous Helps and Guides" (such as
menu planning, substitute measure
ments, culinary terms) and Enter
tainment Ideas" a section which
covers party ideas for every holiday
from January to December and
decoration ideas for luncheons, din
ners and picnics.
The other six volumes contain
recipes grouped as follows;
Volume 5-Beverages, Chilled and
Frozen Dishes, Custards and Pud-
dings, Fruit Desserts, Jellied Dishes,
Pies and Pastries, Nuts.
Volume 6-Bread and Rolls, Corn
meal Breads, Mullins and Griddle
Cakes, Waffies, Sandwiches, Cereal
Dishes.
Volume 7-Cakes and Cake Frost
ings, Cookies, Candy.
Volume 8-Meats, Poultry, Sea-
food, Gravies and Meat Sauces.
Volume 91Salads, Salad Dress
ings, Sauces, Egg Dishes, Uses of
Milk, Cream, Butter, Cheese, and
Fats.
Volume 10 - Soups, Vegetable
Dishes, Seasonings.
All the recipe volumes are divided
into sections by pastel colored poster
paper on which I have pasted COL
ored pictures of the foods in the
section. Interspersed with the
recipes are other colored pictures il
Illustrating the foods on the various
pages. The volumes look like-real
cookbooks and contain so much!
The pictures are taken from huge
collection of pictures on varied sub
jects which I have collected for 20
years-but THAT is another hobby |!
An extra volume will soon be
added to the book case as I want
to put the Canning Tips on Meat,
Vegetables, Fruits, Pickles, Jelly,
Jam, Juices and Wines" into a
separate volume. At present 1t is
in the back of one of the other
volumes that was not too 'fat"!
It has been lots of fun making
this collection even though it has
taken many hours Of reading, cut
ting, arranging and pasting. It has
been well worth it and has afforded
me many moments Of relaxation at
the end of the day after a busy
schedule of household and child
care. Of all my scrapbooks (and I
have so many, even for my little
girls) I am proudest of these house.

all the writer's of the Woman's
Page-Betsy Caswell, Victory Chef,
Violet Faulkner, Angelo Patri, Betty
Miles-your articles like wash
ington Diary" Presidents and
Pens" Comb That Attic!," Keep
Them Going" are in a different
file, equally enjoyable! My main
reason for taking the Star is the
Woman's Page-although I enjoy
the other sections, too.
All of this has been quite lengthy
but I wanted to contribute my sug-
gestions in case any other home
maker is interested in making such
a collection. Perhaps part of this
can be printed in RICH sometime
if readers are still interested In
filing their clippings.

I have many queries from alert

which seem to have appeared over

gradually, but 1t must reach q GER

less we are neurotics who sit about,
searching the mirror each day for
some bad sign!

prize-toinning hobby by Betty

DEAR BETTY MILES:
Not only was it great thrill to
receive first prize" and the sweep
stake prize" for my collection OF
household clippings Crom the
Woman's Page of The Star for the
most partD which I exhibited at
the Charles County Fair, but it was
equally thrilling to receive your
phone call and the clippings which
you mailed to me. deeply appre-
ciate the interest you have shown
and the excellent article you wrote
for The Star. Thank you so very,
very much!
1t was most embarrassing to think
have never contributed any
helps" to RICH after all the help
have received from it. have had
such good intentions write a
letter telling about my particular
way of preserving all the fine sug-
gestions on the entire Woman's
Page, to give my schedule for baby
and household care, and to con-
tribute recipes for fudge, devils
food cake, etc. So!-it is my resolve
to send in one contribution a week
and am including full deScrip-
tion of my notebooks right now!
The 10 looseleaf notebooks are the
7lax9a size, with black covers on
which I pasted canning labels for
the titles of each. This makes them
look like real books and my most
capable husband made simple
little case to hold the volumes. I
painted the case with white enamel
and placed bright "kitchen-y' decals
on the top and ends of the case
to give it additional attractiveness.
The case stays on top of white
steel cabinet in the kitchen, where
1t is handy at all times.
One volume bears the titles per-
sonal Grooming; Clothing and It's
Care; Laundry Suggestions, Sewing
Tips" These are divided into Sec
tions by lightweight poster paper
with tabs to indicate which section
1t is. In the Personal Grooming"
section are articles on makeup, care
of the hair, skin, hands, feet. The
Clothing" section contains clippings
on cleaning, dyeing, and storing of
clothing. Laundry Suggestions" in
clude washing, starching and IRON
ing hints. Sewing Tips" include
ideas for gifts, crochet, knitting and
mending.
A second volume is entitled Child
Care, Children's Food, Children S
Clothing, Nursery Equipment, Angelo
Patri's Articles, and Teen Ayers" ?"
On the "second-dividers" are cute
pictures of children and in the An
gelo Patri section is his picture.
The third volume contains THE
House and It's Care, Furniture and
Furnishings, Household Equipment,
Stains and Spot Removal, Removal
of Insects, Cleaning Tips, and Gar
dening Helps" all divided into Sec
tions and having clippings pertain
ing to those subjects.

Fight Fire!!
Rv Reffv Miles

Every day there are 1850 fires in
the United States and % people
die because of these fires. Presi-
dent Truman has designated this
week as Fire Prevention Week, urg-
ing citizens to check again their
knowledge of fires and fire preven-
ton.
BY far the greater number of fires
Is in the home, the product OF
carelessness and thoughtlessness.
People burn to death in the home
because of careless smoking. They
also smoke in bed They allow
children to play with matches and
leave children alone in the home.
Clothing becomes ignited by an
open fireplace People dry clean in
doors with gasoline or naptha. They
kindle fires with kerosene and they
re-enter burning buildings to res
cue pets or belongings.
Ninety per cent of all of these
fires are preventable. The follow
ing rules for prevention are worth
remembering:
l. A clean house store or factory
seldom burns. Remove combustible
rubbish regularly Provide covered
metal containers to hold necessary
collections of rubbish.
2. Never discard lighted match
or cigarette. Never smoke in bed
Use safety matches and keep
matches where small children can
not reach them.
3. Keep chimneys and furnaces
clean and in good repair and pro-
tect all nearby combustible surfaces
4. Never use wooden shingles as
roof covering. Use fire retardant
roofing material.
S. Have your electrical equipment
and wiring properly installed and
checked. Replace worn cords. Use
electricity safely.
6. Use care with gasoline, kero-
sene and similar f1ammable liquids
at all times. Never bring gasoline
into the home.
7 Put hot ashes in covered metal
cans
s. Keep oily rags in closed metal
containers or destroy them.
9. Never use candles on or near a
Christmas tree and keep the tree
standing in a pan of water while
It is in the house.
10. Know how to call the Fire
Department and the location Of the
nearest fire alarm box.

Some time ago a reader asked
about real cream pie. I think what
she meant her husband (who is from

just a pie shell baked as for lemon
or any such pie, and then use real
good whipping cream, whipping it
stiff but not to the stage where it
will go to butter. Add q little sugar
and havoring and put the cream in
the shell. Whip the cream and add
to the shell just before you're ready
to serve as the cream sometimes
soaks the shell and makes it soggy.
This is delicious. We used to have
them often when I was a child and
