BUBBLE GUM,
REUPHOISTERING CHAIKSf
From Mrs. +. +. L., Arltngton.)
Mrs. H. D. asked how to remove
bubble gum from her daughters
hair. Whenever my two youngsters
get gum In their hair or on their
hands and faces, I find any vese-
table shortening does the work In .
jiffy. Just rub rne shortening on
with q soft cloth. It is possible that
vaseline would do the job just n
well. I hope Mrs. II. D. hnds my
method will work for her.
Have any Of your readers had any
success in reupholsteriAg living
room chairs In their own homes?
Would appreciate any suggestions
on this subject.

I have also had trouble with
bubble gum in my little GIRLS hair.
She has long blond hair which she
refuses 10 have cut. I tried several
Things unsuceessfully until I finally
discovered nail polish remover. I
6ave used 1t many times; it has
always proved success and has
never been harmful In any way. Let
me know how It works for you.
(Frosn Mrs. N. q. T., Warrington.
I have been very successful In re-
moving regular chewing gum from
my 3-year- -old daushtsr'a hair with
oil Of turpentine applied sparinsiy
with cotton. This may Be ptr-
chased at any pharmacy. Probably
1t would be equally s,eeassful With
bubble gum.
from Mrs. c. =. p, xsnstngtow.)
I have successfully removed chew
ing sum from my sons hair With
carbon tetrachlorids. It IL non
infiammable, 20 you nesd have NO
worries On that score. Use large
pieces OF cotton saturated in the
fluid, rubbing it on the pieces Of
gum and on the hair. De careful
not to have too much fluid On the
cotton or it will run down into her
eyes. I hope this method will help,
as I think it would be = shame to
have to cut her hair.
I want to take this opportunity to
thank the five ladies who helped me
solve the feeding problem Of my
baby daughter. She is eating every
thing given to her now, without
fussing about it.

4 II X
VACATION spoT7
from q. J. X, Silper Spring.
The RCH seems to have an an
swer for every kind OF 4 problem,
so perhaps some kind readers will
be able to help us md 1 suitable
spot for our months vacation this
July. We are strangers just down
from Canada with our two boys
aged ! and S. would like to know
of some place on an island like
where we could rent 4 cottage, or
perhaps get our main meal At q
nearby lodge. Any place within SOC
miles would be all right as we're
anxious to avoid Washington's hot
nights. A safe sandy beach for the
children and maybe golf course
close by are our two chief interests
Also maybe I'd better say the more
rustic the better as We don't want to
have to be dressed up, just 4 nice
relaxed family holiday.
Surely there must be some such
place in such O beautiful part Of the
country and I'd certainly appreciate
hearing Of them.
