If you make it yourself :. they'll
like it better. And it's homemade
candies I mean. It's true people
really do appreciate homemade
gifts. They realize that anything
you make yourself captures some
of your own personality and has q
special thoughtful bit Of Christmas
cheer behind it. And when that
something Is a box of your own
delicious, creamy candy there could
not be nicer gift.
The day you set aside for candy
making plan to make several patches
of each kind for your own family
too. Because, I'm warning you
they'll disappear as fast as you set
them out. 1t might be a good idea
to have extra supplies on the pantry
shelf in case you run short OF these
CONNECTIONS and want to make more
at moments notice.
Any one who has sweet tooth
likes homemade fudge and here are
two unusual versions of that old time
favorite. Luscious bits of crushed
pineapple are responsible for the
creamy texture and delightful flavor
of the Pineapple Fudge. The velvety
Cosmopolitan Fudge, favored
with orange rind and sherry. is
brimful of chevy raisins and chunky
almonds. The brown sugar adds to
the caramel flavor of the crisp,
crunchy toffee that has a thick
coating of rich chocolate. All three

Ever since the first Christmas Eve,
light has been the symbol Of the
holiday season. If that serves as a
reminder to decorate this years
Christmas trimmings with . little
light, then it should be welcome
news that you can let your budget
be your guide. Before buying or
making any of your Christmas deco
rations, look at your house, study
the interior with an eagle eye. In
decorating with light indoors, con-
slider the fireplace, windows, tables
and the tree itself. Then pick the
spot that best reflects the. person.
ality Of the house. The room pic
tured is an excellent example Of
what may be accomplished In
modern setting.
It shows how make-believe Christ
mas trees stand at attention against
Q blue wall. The secret is, that
this wall was covered with blue
crepe paper on which silver stars
had been pasted at random. Trees
are cut from beaver board, one by
80 inches high, the other about 81
inches high, and are tackled to the
same base about 3 inches apart.
A 30-watt, 36-ineh fiuorescent lamp
Is mounted between. The tree in
the back is painted white, while the
one in front Is a deep, bright blue.
The panel cut-out of the front tree
Is filled with q translucent plastic,
on which the greeting is lettered
in appropriate colors. Reflected in
the mirror of our photo is a glass
block wall at the opposite end of
the room. The bottem slat of the
Venetian blind has been hung
thickly and carefully with tinsel, and
a cluster Of three white Illuminated
ceHophane bells has been fastened
in the center.
Windows decorate easily, spread
ing cheer indoors and out with any
one Of such festive ornaments as
miniature Christmas trees bedecked
with colored lights; light-entwined
wreaths; Illuminated cellophane
bells in red, blue and white, and in

Christmas Lights

clusters Of two, three or hve; lighted
stars and crosses. Also attractive
are artificial evergreen garlands from
which hang tiny electric Lighted red
plastic bells spelling Merry Christ
mas. All Of these decorations are
just as appropriate for the fireplace.
However, here are some other sug-
gestions. Bank the mantel with
sprigs of fireproofed evergreen
through which twinkle colored lights.
Make cardboard Christmas trees,
about "A inches high. and silhouette
them against the fireplace wall by
tacking them to the front Of Q wood
base fitted with an electric light
socket.
The same lighting effect, which
the family "handyman" can rig up
easily, will transform q matching
pair of color transparencies into
luminous metal decorations. Trans
parencies come ready-made, but you
can also make your own from the
inexpensive Christmas prints avail
able wherever pictures are sold. BY
rubbing the print with little min.
eral or cooking oil, it becomes trans.
luscent and the light glows through.
Fit the print into cardboard frame,
but, first, paint the frame with blue
and sprinkle 1t with some of the
gold, silver or multicolored sand"
known as Filters"
News for tree trimmers is found
in the bubble-light lamp. A flve.
watt bulb is inclosed In q plastic
base topped by q three-inch glass
tube containing a colorfully dyed
fluid which merrily bubbles away.
One Of the members of our family
has had these bubble-light lamps
ever since they were first intro
duced, and we must admit they are
most unusual in appearance and
attractive. These lights come In o
series-type string of nine lamps.
They can be used on the same tree
with conventional tree lights (Which
is quite effective), and can be
plugged into other strings Of series.
type lamps.
Lighted table decorations, all
ready to plug into the nearest out
let, include bells, sprays. candles
and f1gurines. People with clever
hands can create an original CENTER
piece for the dinner table or buffet
by heaping artificial flowers, berries
or Christmas tree balls in a bowl
or vase with q lamp bulb concealed
beneath. Arrange the bulb so that
no infiammable material touches it.
To support the ornaments. and also
to prevent excessive heat from
damaging the container or furni.

fFrom Mrs. D. S. c., Arlington.)
TO Mrs. j. A., Alexandria, who
needs help with a 2-year-old who
scueals at the top of his lungs.
Have you tried a song? Start him
to singing a song he knows. My s.
year-old and his little sister liked to
have a squealing duet which would
end in ear-splitting shrieks. More
han! As soon as I start singing
'Ding, dong, bell" they take 1t up.
You should hear the tired, whining
boy sing until he is Gained again.
When they are hungry and do moth
ing but squall, give them that dry
cereal made of oatmeal and shaped
like doughnuts to quiet them until
the meal is ready.
When everything goes wrong, the
toys won't behave, relieve the ten
sion with a brief rocking, or let him
rest his head on my shoulder. This
works wonders. Sometimes mood
can be changed by letting him do
something important, such as clos
ing a door or picking up something

CLEANING FUR RUG:
SPOTS FROM MAHOGANY?

Fron1 Mrs. M. A. G., Washington
The RCH has been a great source
OF help as well as pleasure for me
and I'm happy to be able to suggest
to Mrs. N. M. B., method OF
cleaning her fur rug.
My mother-in-law brought me
two lambskin rugs from Australia
and advised me to use the follow
ing means of keeping them white
and fluffy.
First remove any felt or other
backing which has been seWed on
the skin. Next make heavy suds
in your automatic and put your
rug into this and run washer until
the water becomes dirty. Remove
rug and repeat process until your
fur is clean looking, then rinse IN
the same manner. Do not try TO
put the rug through the washer
wringer, but hang outside dripping
wet. AS it begins to dry give it a
little shake now and again and after
1t is thoroughly dry brush with a
stiff brush.
1t may take several days to dry
your rug, as it usually does mine,
but I take it in each night and put
it out again in the morning. 1t
sounds like a great deal of trouble
but If you use mild suds and take
the time to shake the rug often as
1t dries, it will not shrink and you
will be delighted with the results.
I've washed mine several times and
they look like new each time.
I'm sure this question has been
asked before, but I neglected to
clip the answer, although I keep
o scrapbook with RICH suggestions
and recipes, to which often refer.
I shall be grateful If some one will
tell me how to remove white spots
from the top of a mahogany table.
I used a pad under my toaster, but
the heat and moisture from 1t has
left q white spot on my table top.

she will soak an eggshell in a little
water overnight, then pour this

diately. I do this several times a
week and although my plant is
small, it is full of blooms.

MUSIC BOX?

From v. F.. L., Washington.)
It Is noted that Mrs. A. M. S., Ar
lington, desires some information as
to where she can have Swiss music
box repaired. From her description
of the music I gather 1t is similar to
the one I have in my possession.
Music boxes of this type usually en-
ploy two main springs in. tandem:
if one is broken, the symptoms will
be the same as the ones described
by Mrs A. M. s.
I replaced a spring in the box in
my possession, an operation which
was costly and which consumed con-
siderable time, as the spring had to
be made specially. I, also, would like
to know a source for repair parts
other than the method I used.

from S. W. D.. Arlington.)
Before buying q cleaner of any
kind, be sure to see the kind that
settles the dust and dirt in water.
There is only one like it and can be
obtained only through dealers. This
machine humidifies and air condi-
tons as 1t works. It has standard
attachments. It Is truly q miracle
machine! It you would like more in

so thrilled with mine, I just wish

VENETIAN BLINDS?
KOSHER MEALS?

(From Mrs. p. G., Washington.)
Here is hint for the lady who
inquired about cleaning Venetian
blinds. Take a pants hanger, the
type that suspends them by the cuffs.
Line the bars with sponge rubber
by glueing them on.
To use, slip over a slat of blind
and snap bars shut with spring hook.
The tension is just right to permit
snug but easy sliding along the slat,
cleaning both sides at once. I have
two, one I have felt lined for busting
and I use my sponge lined one with
soap and water for cleaning.
Now, I have request. Does any
one have some good old-fashioned
recipes for Kosher meals? I don't
care what they are for as long as
they're like Grandma used to make
miss them SO much.

For F. B. K, Washington: II

sharpening her claws, she will not

Gum camphor comes in a small
square cake; it doesn't have an
unpleasant odor, but cats don't
