Taken from the 1918 Files Of
the Milford Chronicle

Rain fell in torrents in Milford
oneMOnday night, and this, coupled
with the thaWing, caused flooding
of many sections of the town and
surrounding country. The sewers in
some sections were unable to carry
OF the water as rapidly as it fell,
which caused it to back up In some
sections of the town it was eighteen
inches in depth. In the rural dis
tricts reports state that the roads
were badly washed, while some Of
them were almost impossible be-
cause of the heavy conditions of the
water soaked roads.

BEACH COTTAGE?
(Fron Mrs. S. r. M, Washington
We have purchased recently a
furnished beach cottage, and I am
trying to make the place little
fresher looking There are several
old iron bedsteads with very tall
heads. Could these be cut off with
out weakening the beds? The old
foot" could be used as the new
head" and the beds would fit under
the caves so much better My hus-
band says he could saw the metal,
but 1 don't want to make the beds
shaky.
Also, what material will stay fresh
looking in the ocean breezes, used
as sill length curtains or draperies?

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
from Mrs. E. N. H., Fairtar.)
M. E., Washington: Moths in mo-
hair are hard to get rid of. Back
home one of our big transfer and
storage companies got rid of the
moths by baking the piece Of furni-
ture. Afterward the wood had to
be refinished, but we considered 1t
well worth the trouble to be rid of
the moths.
N. N. of Leesburg: I have rhubarb
in my back yard and any time 1t
is big enough to pull, I use it. In
summer there is some kind of little
worm that bores into the stalk but
you can always watch and cut off
the affected places.
A. L., Washington: Would like
to inform you that pepper seeds do
not make the "ripe tomato sauce"
hot. I grow my own peppers, sweet
and hot peppers and sweet pepper
seeds are not hot. Your sauce is
delicious.

After registration on Monday, Mr..

catering of the Waldorf-Astoria, took
us on a short tour Of the famous
Waldorf kitchens where we saw a
huge wedding cake in the making.
The theme of our first luncheon
was Soup to Nuts With Real Mayon-

ways in which this company's prod
ucts may be used in varied types Of
dishes. A film with natural color

how mayonnaise dishes were pre-
pared and used to advantage in

Report to the Housewife
By Violet Faulkner
Food Editor.

NEW YORK.-This year It's the
Waldorf-Astoria that is the head
quarters for the annual Food Editors
Conference. For week before the
conference started, editors from all
over the United States began drifting
into New York to take advantage OF
the many opportunities offered In
this busy metropolitan city. They
decided to combine business with
pleasure and get in a little extra
sightseeing and shopping before the
crowded schedule Of the week got
into full swing. So far, even the
weatherman has been cooperating
to make this the best conference on
record.
To start things of on Saturday
evening two Of the New York girls
were hostesseS at small precon-
vention dinner and theater party for
a few of the early arrivals. We dined
in the Drake room of the Drake
Hotel and, between eating the most
delicious food I've had in many
moons and catching up on years
conversation, we were q busy table.
After dinner we went on to see "A
Street Car Named Desire" Tennessee
Williams great contemporary drama
about tragic, psychotic girl, won-
derfully portrayed by Jessica Tandy.
| But I must tell you little about
our dinner. Nino, the maitre d'hotel,
| really went out of his way to serve
| us beautiful meal. For the per-
sonal touch he presented each of
us with matches with our names
inscribed on the cover, as soon as
we were seated. For the first course
we had paper-thin slices Of New
foundland salmon, dressed with
fresh lemon juice, sprinkling Of
capers and a tiny bit of olive oil.
With this went wafer-thin slices of
hot, crisp toast. Next came "Steak,
Diane" and before he started the
ceremony of cooking this at side
table he let US see how it had been
prepared.
First, he took a good big thick
sirloin and pounded it out until 1t
was about half inch in thickness.
Then he put a generous dab OF
butter into a chafing dish, added
some chopped chives and sauteed
this lightly. In went the steak to
brown on one side, then on the
other. While this was going on he
added a touch of English mustard,
some of his own special sauce q
didn't manage the ingredients of
that one), and finally, just before
he removed the steak from the fire,
in went a bit of lemon juice. He
spooned the sauce over the meat
and it was ready to serve. The
flavor is something out of this world.
With this we had French fried pota-
toes, and bright green broccoli with
vinaigrette sauce. The perfect des-
sert followed, fresh fruit compete
with kirsch and demi-tasse.
Sunday afternoon the food editors
from all the New York papers were
hosts at an informal get-together
to say, welcome to our city" I
can assure you there was a great
clacking of tongues, shaking of
hands, and swapping of vacation
| experiences. The din was terrific
but wonderful. And for supper, the
staff of This Week" magazine en-
tertained representatives of their 26
newspapers at the Stork Club. The
food was more than just good, it

PECAN PIE?

My problem is pecan pie. I have

and covers everything-what to

structions, etc.
CUT IN PLASTIC CURTAIN?
SHELL JEWELRY.
| (From Mrs. J. T. j., Arlington.)
Will some kind reader tell me If
there is a good method OF mending
a clean cut in a plastic shower cur
tain? The curtain Is plain color
and the brand name sounds almost
like cream. I've heard that a hot
iron applied to such cut will melt
the edges of 1t so it will adhere to
itself again. Before I spoil the cur
tain for good I'd like to hear If
anyone has found a good treatment
for such a condition. It's new
curtain and hate to discard 1t If
it can possibly be saved.
For Mrs. I. H. of Washington, who
inquired about supplies for making
shell jewelry-she will be very
pleased with the selection available
at Hobby Shop on the main street
of GEORGETOWN. The owner of this
shop is most helpful in all kinds Of
handcraft.
