PECAN CUSTARD PIE.
CLEAN MOHAIR UPHOLSTERY
(From Mrs. II. A. S., Arlington.)
In answer to Mrs. r. A. B., WASH
ington, I would like to submit q
recipe for pecan custard pie which
Is delicious, easy to make and always
turns out well.
One cup corn sirup eight or dark,
I prefer light, cup pecan nuts Gin
pieces, u. cup granulated sugar, 3
eggs, ! teaspoon vanilla, u teaspoon
salt. Beat eggs slightly, add sugar,
sirup and nuts, salt and vanilla. Put
in unbaked shell and bake so min
utes, in a slow oven 1926 degrees. The
pecans will float to the top, forming
a crust that will brown nicely If
baked slowly.
Does any one know how to clean
silk mohair upholstery?

PAPER DRAPERIES?
(Front Mrs. M. II. B., Washington.
I would like to have the opinion
OF readers on the merits of paper
curtains and draperies. We have
just bought home with IS windows
and, at present. cannot undertake
the expense Of buying glass curtains
and draperies. Can these paper dra-
peries be used over window shades,
i.e., without glass curtains? I am
anxious to take away that bare look
from the living room and dining
room, especially when each have
four windows.
