Some one recently inquired where
variety meats could be purchased
1 have bought kidneys in the large
chain store that guarantees its
meats. There are several consumer
owned coop stores where it is pos
sible to get brains, kidneys, hearts
and fresh veal tongues. Then there
is fairly exclusive grocery store on
Connecticut avenue where these
items are also available.
DOLL PARTS.
From Mrs T. H. S., Washington
Mrs. S. B. M: The parts for dolls
may be secured from the Humpty
Dumpty Doll Hospital, 2015 Batoon
road. Redondo Beach, Calf. They
can furnish materials and directions
for making wigs or supplying parts
for dolls. I have been making bodies
for some old dolls myself. I got the
saw dust from a mill in Bethesda
and making the bodies is fun.
I enjoy so much the Woman's Page
and find it a wonderful help.

CAMP LEJEUNE.
From Mrs. X. X. M, Washington.
Yesterday I saw a request from
Mrs. D. L. S.. jr., concerning Camp
Lejeune. This morning have a
letter from a daughter-in-law CIV
ing the latest picture of conditions
IN that part of the country.
My son is in the Marine Corps,
stationed at Cherry Point, which
is not far from Lejeune. I spent
June and July with them and con-
ditions have not changed since then,
I am sure.
If you have children, by all means
stay away from there until cold
weather. That part of North Car
olina is having a terrible epidemic
of polio, which we all have been
reading about. Cherry Point is
quarantined and I would not be
surprised if Lejeune is also.
Now, as to quarters. The corps
would probably provide you with
temporary quarters when you first
arrive. The rule is that these can be
occupied for only certain number
of weeks, supposedly enough to per-
nit you to find quarters for your
selves. In the end, my son had to
buy a house as they were expecting
a baby. There are places to be had,
probably, if you are fortunate and
hunt the highways and by ways.
The natives are building veritable
shacks and renting them for what
real house should cost, the renter
to provide heat, light, etc. at his
own cost. The climate is hot and
humid, sometimes making WASH
ingten seem a veritable summer re-
sort. The winters and springs are
perfectly beautiful, Towering vines
and shrubs until it looks like a para
disc. :,
This may seem like a dark picture
and I am not usually knocker but
it seems to me you should know all
sides of things. If an old lady can
advise you, I'd suggest that your
husband should go down ahead OF
you and find out just where you
stand as to quarters on the base. 1t
is not hard to get there, although
the trip is long and tiresome. There
are no real cities, as We think OF
them here, but Morehead City, If !
remember properly. is the nearest
From where we lived we used to GO
to New Bern to shop and found 1t
most satisfactory. That is 20 miles
from Cherry Point one way and
Morehead is 20 miles the other, with
Lejeune on the Morehead City side.
