BOOK SUGGESTION.


(From Miss A. L. D., Washington.
l have started notebook which
fits the description of the book
which you say you have been search
Ing. have been clipping recipes,
hints for laundering, painting, dec
Grating, spot removing, etc., from
RICH and other such columns, and
scotch-taping them on notebook
paper. When the collection begins
to take some shape" I am going to
index 1t. The time involved is small
and the pleasure derived from hav-
ing such information at your finger
tips Is great. Too, you know your
own tastes, needs and resources so
that you are able to Gull out those
things you can't use. For the time
being, the book remains in my
hope" chest! However, it occurs
to me that such a notebook would
make wonderful gift for the bride.

GARDEN INFORMATION
From H. L. b., Washington
To Mrs. w. H. D. regarding in
formation on garden work. Last
fall I subscribed to a garden maga-
zine. Just about the size of The
Readers Digest, this magazine not
only tells what to do each month,
but also what to do in different
parts Of the country. So even if you
left this part of the woods, YOU
would still have proper instructions.
1t is such handy size and in Ian
guage the amateur can understand.
1t Is The Home Garden, 444 Madison
ave, New York %, N. Y.
There are no colored plates, but
plenty of pictures and on very nice
paper.
ATTENTION:
RADIO HAMS!
(From Mrs. A. B. c., WaShinqton.
This request may be unusual, but
your page RICH has been helpful
to so many people I am encouraged
to ask favor for fine young man
permanently confined to a wheel
chair.
His only amusement is radio and
through that medium he finds in
Splration and interest in life, by
communicating with other radio
ham" operators.
He derives much pleasure from
making new contacts If any RICH
readers know radio ham operators
and will ask them to put in CO.
for W7EK, they will do a great kind
ness for a shut-in who lives on
WILDLY Island in Puget Sound.

BERMUDA.
(From Mrs. NJ. E. B., Huntinoton
In answer to your request about
living in Bermuda, 1 was born and
lived there all my life prior to
coming to the U. S. A. to live.
Ihe summers are very much like
the ones here, only 1 don't think,
quite as hot, because there is always
an ocean breeze. So you would wear
the same clothes as you would here
In summer.
The winters are mild but damp
and the houses are not heated, ex-
cept by fireplace, so you will have
use for good supply of sweaters.
skirts and suits.
The people are very friendly and
you will have no trouble making
friends.
The customs have British ten
dency, but are very "Americanized"
IN some ways. If you would contact
me through RICH I would be happy
to furnish you with any informa-
tion about Bermuda that I have
knowledge of.

HOT MILK CAKE.
(From Mrs. C. F. W., Bethesda.)
Am sending my hot milk cake
for Mrs. L. A. D., Washington. 1T
is very, very old and one of the most
delicious and very easy cake to
make. 1t really tastes more like
moist butter cake and another
very odd feature about it is it goes
into a cold oven. Then light oven
and set temperature at 300 or 325
degrees (the slower it is baked, the
better until done. I make mine
in a glass pan, 8x12. 1t also can
be made into layers. I cannot tell
you how long to bake it, being an
old recipe. I use an old method
cake tester. This cake can be made
up for any party cake. Also Boston
