FILING RECIPES: INFORMA-
TION ON QUEBEC?


from Miss v. S., Cherry ChaSeJ
To Mrs. M. w, who asked about
keeping clipped recipes. I am a
collector of recipes, old and new,
and have found the following meth
cd very successful to keep them. /
have sturdy backed loose-leaf
notebook (such as school children
use) and am using the three-ringed
type as it gives more support. Using
Scotch tape 1 affix my clipped reci-
pes to loose note paper putting ike
recipe with like. My notebook l
have divided into sections marked
with tabs soups, salads, vegetables,
meats, desserts, etc" and of course,
a miscellaneous section. In the
back there is a section headed "Sug-
gestions" containing many hints on
cooking, etc, clipped from RICH and
other places.
When wish to use certain recl-
pie I merely remove the page in
stead of having to cope with the
whole book. Several recipes can
be put on one page, depending on
their size. I suggest you put recipes
of one type on one page, that is,
pies on one page, cakes on another,
puddings on another.
In the front of each section I put
an index page, and at glance can
tell where to find what want,
The same could be done for clip
pings on any other subject, ! think.
Many thanks for the grand con-
tributions RCH has made to my
scrapbook!
am making plans for my August
vacation and plan to go to the city
of Quebec. Can any one give me
any help as to the best place to
stay. what to be sure not to miss,
hints on clothes for that time of
the year in Canada, etc, as I know
no one in Canada who could an
swer my questions. Many thanks
for any help received. I'm on a
budget so must plan carefully so
as to enjoy it with no worries.

One hour around children and she
has several new English words
although she knows the French
ones for the same thing. She is
talking quite early and is at the
stage where she is repeating things
she hears great deal. My hus-
band doesn't speak French so she
hears nothing but English at home,
with friends and neighbors, over the
telephone and with children. I am
desperately trying to find a nursery
school which takes French children
or one which teaches French part
of the day. I have heard of them
but can't locate any. feel now Is
the time since she is trying so hard
to talk and express herself. If any
readers know of such nurseries Will
you please call me at Sligo 1908? !

LAWN MOWER.


From C. P. B., Falls Church,
Some time ago one of your read
ers requested information concern
ing the 8A pound lawn mower.
purchased one about the same time
the inquiry was made, and have been
using it regularly ever since.
1t is everything the advertisements
say about it, and more, but the di-
rections must be followed explicitly.
There is definitely a knack to it that
must be learned before 1t will be
entirely satisfactory, and 1t was only
after about the fifth moving that !
began to acquire 1t.
Our lawn is about 200 by rs feet
and exhibits samples Of every pos
sible terrain, I'm sure-it is swampy
in one place. dry, hard and rocky
in another, sandy near the garden,
has a terrace, Is rough here, smooth
there. has dense shade and full sun,
but the mower operates beautifully
in all places equally well.
The grass has been infinitely i'm
proved. While our neighbor's yard
is full of crabgrass and weeds, we
have almost none, though our own
yard was full of both last summer.
1t takes me about half as long to
do the lawn now as it took me with
the old-type mower, and it Is no
longer an eXhausting task.
One thing I have noticed about it
is that 1t must be oiled frequently,
even while cutting the grass once,
and another thing is that of the
many interested spectators who have
stopped to try my mower, shorter
people, and particularly women,
seem to have more success with it
than do the others.
I simply cannot praise the mower
enough now, but I must confess I
was certainly ready to send it back
after the first two or three times
I tried 1t,

lect simply because some of her
friends were beginning to take up
hobbies and she thought it would
be a pleasant pastime.
What she should collect was set
tied when she looked about the
house and found Is or 20 interesting
old pitchers that would do nicely as
a nucleus.
Now she has more than 1000 in
all-and her pitchers have come
from all parts of the United States
and about IS foreign countries.
The amazing thing is that this
huge collection represents virtually
no effort on Mrs. Martins part. Once
the word got around that she was
interested in pitchers, they started
pouring in from every direction.
A large number have come from
servicemen she befriended during
the war. Visitors to the Executive
Mansion while her husband was
Governor have contributed their
share.
antiques in Collection
Her collection also includes nu-
merous antiques that have had great
sentimental value for their former
owners. For instance, an elderly
woman, who had cherished a pitcher
for years, realized she had no chill
dren who would appreciate it as an
heirloom. So she sent 1t to Mrs.
Martin. q
While she was in Harrisburg, Mrs.
Martin had the pitchers on display
in the morning room at the Execu-
tive Mansion. There is no space
for even a part of the collection in
her small apartment at the Ward
man Park, however, SO she is having
shelves built in her home at Wash
ington, Pa.
Now, she is giving serious thought
to some way of providing perma-
nent home that would be suitable
for this collection which includes the
treasures of so many people she has
not even met.
Mrs. Martin is not the only col
lector in the family, although she
says her husband won't admit he
belongs in that category. The Sem
ator, however, has a splendid col
lection of firearms and sabers, and
recently became interested in &C
curing Currier and Ives prints of
the early Presidents.
She, herself, recently became an
authority on Pennsylvania Dutch
furniture.
Her interest dates back to a fall
she had in May. 1915. She was in
the summer mansion which was be-
ing built for the Governor at In
diantown Gap and failed to notice
some scaffolding on the stairs before
| it was too late. She fell 9 feet and
received a compressed fracture Of
the eighth vertebra.
| C0nvaleScenf Diversion
After two months in the hospital
and two more in a brace she was
well enough to seek some diversion
and found that going about to vari-
Gus antique shops was not too firing.
So she collected enough Pennsyl-
vania Dutch antiques to furnish the
new summer mansion.
The drivers at the Executive Man
sion are State police and several of
these alternated in taking Mrs.
Martin from one shop to another.
She recalls they found her new
hobby very amusing at first. But
she had the last laugh. Now all OF
them are. enthusiastic collectors.
| Mrs. Martin is woman endowed
with great friendliness. That un-
doubtedly is the secret of her sue
cess, not only as a collector but as
an official hostess.
She loves people and has had the
