IT'S A TREAT to eat outdoors!
Nom gets out of hot kitchen, and
the whole family can enjoy a meal
even at the end of the day If they
eat it in a cool breeze out on the
porch, under the old tree or in the
garden.
This is real outdoor eating and
1t can be almost picnic style. Plan
it to be casual and everyone will
have fun. Carry out all food, plates
and utensils on tray and save trips
to the kitchen and then back again.
A bowl Of flowers from the gar
den viii make the occasion seem
festive indeed.
Almost any kind of a meal will
be easy to serve as long as you
can fit it on a tray so everyone
can help himself. Even a roast
will work out well served in this
way. Place your creamed, au
gratin or Drowned potatoes in the
center Of a large platter. Slice
the roast in the kitchen and place
it around the potatoes.

FIRST AID to the
A AILING HOUSE
by Roger C. Whitman

QUESTION: There are finger
marks on the head board of my
bed, probably caused by perspiring
hands. How can I remove these
marks?
ANSWER: Clean the surface by
washing with thick suds of mild
soap, not just thin, watery soap
suds. Follow with a clean, damp
cloth and rub dry. Turpentine may
also help. If this does not work, try
rubbing the marks with scratch
less securing powder and a little
light oil on the ball of your finger.
QUESTION: Could you give me
any information on tile flooring7
Can do the work myself?
ANSWER: Whatever type you
choose, remember that a solid celor
will show dirt very quickly. Notified
colors stay clean-looking much
longer. 1t Is perfectly possible for a
home owner to lay tile, provided he
Is handy with tools and has a good
guide book. Any kind of tile must
be set in the proper "bed" no mat
ter whether 1t is clay tile, asphalt,
rubber or anything else.
QUESTION: Should one patch
plaster that has come off in a base
ment?
ANSWER: If It's ordinary plas-
ter that Is used for living rooms, 1t
would be best to remove all Of 1t
instead Of trying to patch it. This
type Of plaster is affected by damp
ness and is not intended for use in
