BURN ON TABLE?
(From Mrs. +. S. L., Arlington.)
A hot pipe was placed on one Of
my leather top end tables and left
q scorch mark about the size Of
50-cent piece. I wonder If any Of
your readers could tell me how to
get rid of it?
PECAN BUTTERBALLS.
(Fron, Mrs. W. B. B., Dunn, N. CO.
believe Pecan Butterballs is the
name of the recipe Mrs. r. w. D. of
Arlington requested. Cream l cup
butter, add u cup honey Cor "a cup
powdered sugar., then add 2 cups
sifted flour, u teaspoon salt and 2
teaspoons vanilla. Mix well and add
II cups finely chopped pecans. Form
into very small balls on a creased
baking sheet and bake at 800 de-
grees for IS to 40 minutes. When
cool roll in powdered sugar. These
are crisp and delicious.
WASHING PLASTIC SHOWER
CURTAINS.
from Mrs. M. c. E., Arlington.)
Mrs. A. S. c., Arlington, in the
RICH re shower curtains. If she
will contact me through RICH, can
tell her a wonderful discovery I
made in washing plastic shower cur
tains. Mine had scummy black
deposit around the bottom that I
seriously considered cutting off, but
one day I discovered this marvellous
new soap powder that acts like
magic.
(Fron, Miss A. r. G., Wdshington.)
Regarding the washing of plastic
shower curtains, etc., have my very
own process, which I have found
most satisfactory. One day while
cleaning the bathtub and tile with
kerosene (coal OLD it occurred to
me that a small quantity Of kero-
.sene in lukewarm. water would re-
move sediment from the bottom Of
the shower curtain. I simply pulled
the curtain over to the bathroom
basin. Into the partly filled basin
poured a small quantity of kero-
sene Qess than a tablespoon and
went to work. Very little rubbing
is required, as the sediment dis
solves almost at once. Rinse thor
oughly in lukewarm water. This
treatment leaves the plastic clean
and bright, and does not injure the
plastic. My curtain is plain one.
II yours has a design, 1t might be
well to try the process on small
area before undertaking to wash the
whole article. The slight odor van
ishes within short time.
