SHOE PROBLEM?

(From Mrs. L. r. c., Arlinoton.)
Maybe some of you can help me
with this problem: I have a daugh-
ter, II, who has long, narrow foot
She measures a size II AAAAAAAA
(And that is NOT a misprintD OF
course, it is impossible to find any
thing for her even remotely near
that size, but thought that possibly
some of you might know of store
that could fit her reasonably. I can
not get a shoe direct from factory
until her foot stops growing, so they
can cast one last Cat least, am so
informed. If any one can help us,
please do. The ill-f1tting shoes she
is forced to wear are uncomfortable
and are making her terribly self
conscious. I have contacted every
shoe store listed in the classified ad
section of the directory and no one
seems to know of any place that can
fit her. This is problem that is
growing increasingly, so please help
us. Write me in care of RICH.

AUTOMATIC DISHWASHERS.
from Mrs. D. M. B., Bethesda.)
To the person who inquired about
automatic dishwashers: First, they
are wonderful; but second, be sure
and consult reliable plumber be-
fore purchasing and have him esti-
mate the price OF installation. Also
get an electricians estimate. To-
gether these sometimes run as much
as the machine, depending entirely
on where the machine Is to be in
stalled, etc.
My dishes are always clean and
dry when I remove them, the latter
due to the electric coil which runs
around the inside base Of the ma
machine and radiates heat on COM
pletion of the washing cycle.
It will do pans If the food is not
stuck on" but I usually do these
separately.
Any one who has owned one for
few weeks learns to depend on it
for much time and labor saving
that is true test of practicability

MERINGUES.

MERINGUES.
From Mrs. H. E. w., Ber1Dyn.)
For Mrs. L. B., Quantico: I can't
understand why all cookbooks don't
recommend using confectioner's su-
gar for meringues. I use one table
spoon of this sugar per egg white,
and my meringues have always been
high, fluffy and handsome. Incl
dentally set the oven at $50 de-
grees for browning.
From Mrs. r. X. A.. Washington
Your neringue problem can be
solved for all time if you do this:
I use the white of one egg, tea
spoon sugar and / of cold water. Put
all together in your fiat dish, use egg
whip or spoon, not a clover or elec-
tric whip. You will find your me-
ringue will brown nicely and stand
up to the last bite. Try 1t before
you judge.

having some drippings from the
cleaner that comes in the orange

exhausting known remedies, letter
was written to the manufacturers
asking their advice. Their labora-
tory reported no known remedy for
removing these spots. Although I
know this is very discouraging, 1t

purchasing solutions in the hope OF
removing these. Resanding that

the solution has not been absorbed

Labels" and wondered If you woul'
care to print this poem on Labels
that I have:
One always thinks Of labels
With q special kind OF JOY;
A label Of good wishes
On a baby's birthday toy.
A label on rose tree,
A label on pot
To show the busy housewife
Just the kind Of jam she's got'
I Just love sticking labels
On pleasant homemade things;
Ard from labels on suitcase
Many lovely memory springs.
For the labels tell of travels
To the mountain and the lake.
And raise our hearts and hopes
Again, with journeys we may take.
But sometimes labels fail us,
They get blurred or put on wrons,
Yet the same mistaken labels
Are the ones we take alons.
And I think we're prone to label
All our friends and kindred too,
With any kind of label
That we think is going to do'
We label folks as selfish"
As "thoushtlesstn; ast;ca snd o,tan tne reS''
That they mean to do their best.
We label them "conceited,"
'Dulp' or stiff" or very SLOW,
But the heart beneath the label
Is the thing we need to Know
