BABY CLOTHES.

fFTOm mrs. j. H., ATEngtOn.J
To the mother who asked about
keeping or discarding the outgroWn
clothes from her first baby: If you
are absolutely certain that you will
never have another baby, you might
give or dispose of your baby's
clothes. Even then I would keep
the diapers. Old diapers are one
of the most convenient articles to
have in the household. There are
so many things that I have used
mine for that I don't know what
to name first. 1 have used them
for pressing clothes, cloth to wash
and polish china and glassware,
dust rags, etc. I have even used
them to blindfold the children when
they have had parties.
Once when one of the children
was about years old, and was
taken ill one night in the winter,
twice I changed her bed that night.
There is limit to the amount of
bed clothes that you can furnish,
such as sheets, blankets, comforts,
etc. In desperation 1 took several
diapers and covered her bed clothes,
and this saved the bed clothes. You
know it is much easier to launder
few diapers than to launder sheets
or blankets.
If you are planning for more ba-
bies, keep all the clothes and equip
ment. There are so many things
necessary for the first baby, if these
things are saved means that the
next one is not so expensive.
My advise is to save all your baby
things. I have had four and l still
have some of the clothes used by
my first one.

FEEDING TABLE?
ORANGE JUICE STAIN?

From Mrs. r. M. K, Washington.
Mrs. B. j. T. requested recipe
for baked macaroni cheese. I have
one which causes favorable COM
ment whenever my friends taste it
1t fact, my husband who has never
been particularly fond of macaroni
and cheese, thinks it really delicious
the way I make it,
Two cups medium white sauce,
cups cooked macaroni, p cup
chopped cheese, y cup dried bread
crumbs or cracker crumbs, 2 table
Spoons butter Tor colored) marga-
rine), 4 teaspoon salt, speck of
dried mustard (optionaD.
Place cooked macaroni in a but
tered baking dish. Add the chopped
cheese to the white sauce. season
and pour mixture over the macaroni
Melt butter, add crumbs and mix
we'll. Sprinkle buttered crumbs
over the top and bake in a moder-
ate oven. 375 degrees, until crumbs
are brown. Serves 6.
Now l should like to ask two
favors. Has any one had expert
ence with the new type of child
feeding table which serves also as
a play table and is sold by one OF
the diaper wash companies? 1 am
told this is safer than a high chair
but it is quite expensive and I am
very anxious to know if it is worth
the price.
Also, has any mother found a
way to get orange juice stains out
of baby's clothes? I've tried hot
water and cold water, but nc
amount of rubbing seems to take
them away completely. I always
soak in cold water first. Many
thanks to any one who can help me

DOLL PARTS?
SHORTENING

From Mrs. S. B. M, Sandy Spring. J
I wonder if any one could tell me
where parts for dolls may be found?
I would like to be able to get body
for one doll and a wig for another
In reply to Mrs. L. L. j., who
asked about what to do with Short
ening: Grease may be clarified by
slicing a potato into it and heating
slowly until the potato is brown
Strain through cloth and the
grease may be used over and over
again. Thank you for any help
on the dolls.
