TOYS NEEDED OVERSEAS.
(Fron, Miss M. A. T. Wash,ngton.)
believe that RICH readers may
wish to know that toys, IN the
bundle of goods for overseas fam
lilies are not a trivial item. every
mother recognizes the value OF toys
In the development OF the normal
child. How much more important
they are to the frustrated boy or
girl whose life Is eramped ana
environment sordid, and who needs
to be kept from bad influences OF
the street. -s 'r: -'
So, along with shoes, clothing
and bedding, which are so des-
perately needed, tuck in some dolls,
stuffed animals or other durable,
lightweight toys. Groups OF chill
dren like to make the stuffed AMI
mails from scraps of bright new
material. One of the public schools
in this city last fall collected 200
TOYS for overseas kiddies, the
pupils themselves arranging de-
livery abroad through Church World
Service, the combined relief organ
ization of the churches. Through
the use of regular church channels
equitable distribution overseas is
assured on the basis Of carefully
checked needs of recipients by com.
petent relief workers. The local
center for Church World Service Is
at 1917 G street NV. National

FURNITURE POLISH FROM
WALLPAPER.

from Mrs. J. M. S., Arlinoton.)
Miss M. p, Washington: For
cleaning furniture polish from wall
paper, I have this recommendation
for grease spots on wallpaper and
hope it will prove successful on
furniture polish.
To remove grease spots from wall
paper, cover the stains thickly with
powdered French chalk, which can
be obtained at any drugstore. Make
thick paste of it with water. After
"a hours, remove the chalk with a
soft cloth. If the spots prove OBJ
stinate, repeat the process.
You can also try warm iron
over desk blotting paper, using a
different place in the blotter after
each pressure of the iron to It,
Have the blotter large enough so
that the iron doesn't touch the
paper.
Grease spots on wallpaper should
be attended to the moment they
occur, as the longer they stay, the
more difficult they are to remove
This is especially true If washing
method of removing them has beer
tried first.

They, too, bring back muslins.
Often the style brought to America

They, too, bring back muslins.
Often the style brought to America
is a bit too extreme for popular
reception. 1t is then that the adap-
tations follow through. The imme-
diate introduction of the garments
design is seldom a drastic idea. The
main thing is to make the garment
saleable. After a season or two a
silhouette really evolves. The truly
humorous espect of the whole thing
is that often the original design
brought over eventually materializes
around the second season. Most
buyers who 60 over are primarily
interested in the silhouette. They
often find it a little hard to get
exactly what they want because in
Paris much more Importance Is at
tached to creation rather than the
practically Of the design.

Cook together a tablespoon chop

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
From, Mre r. r H5Jntts7)fILc


From Mrs. J. L. r., HyattsDilleJ
May I quote M. A. H. for I, too
alike the subject range of RICH to
Include everything" Several books
which I have especially enjoyed
this past year have been East
River" by Sholem Asch; my In
dian Family" by Hilda Wernher
both fiction; "Out on a Limb" by
Louise Baker, and with No Re-
grets," by Krishna Nehru (sister OF
the leader Of India, both autobiog-
raphies: and "Civil-Military Rela-
tionships in American Life" edited
by Kerwin from lectures given at
Chicago University. All of these
are very readable, also informative
and "meaty."
Re synthetic sponges: Everything
II. B. S. wrote about synthetic
sponges is true. Z have used them
for about three years for SO many
things. I'm addition to many uses
in the kitchen, they are ideal for
keeping the basin and bathtut
clean, wiping out the washing ma
chine, sponging seams or press cloth
when pressing, and for cleaning the
car. I have found difficulty finding
them except at auto supply stores
They also make nice bath sponges
| if you like bath sponge. They dc
not seem to sour like cloths and
can be kept clean and sanitary
by rinsing out and drying after use
They can be boiled but I seldom
find it necessary.
BY the way, how many readers
have discovered the press cloths on
the market? had one given to me
Just before the war and did not
have to replace it until this year
They are a fairly thick, chemically
treated cloth to be laid over the
garment, and then sponge the cloth
and press and you have excellent
results. I. know. of several makes
but prefer the original one made ir
Omaha; the name is spelled with
X instead of a C.
In answer to E. M. B.. regarding
rugs from stockings: My mother.
in-law made dozens and dozens o1
stocking rugs. She used all kinds
of stockings and knitted underwear
but found that the rugs gave bettel
service when only cotton rags were
used together and rayon together
since the cotton is too heavy tC
combine even if cut thinner. She
always dyed the stockings the col
ors desired in the finished rugs. II
more than pays to do a thorough
JOB of dying-streaks won't hurt but
the colors should be made fast sc
as to permit later washing of the
rugs.
Cut around and around, as i
peeling an apple so as to make thu
strings as long as possible. They
should be a half to an inch in width
depending on the weight of the ma.
terial-the strings roll up as yol
use them. You can crochet or braiC
these rugs. She made several af-
ghans, using the same patterns used
for wool yarn, and they were beau
tiful. Silk and rayon make prettiel
rugs and hold their colors longer
but the cotton rugs last longer or
that IS, will take harder wear. They
can be made round. oblong, square
or in almost any desired shape Of
size.

ing powder, Il teaspoon OF salt and
4 teaspoon Of mace. Separate 4
eggs and beat the yolks. Add 1b
cups confectioners' sugar. Then add
all to the butter and flour.
Fold in the stiffiy beaten egg
whites and then beat hard until
mixture is smooth. Flavor with a
teaspoon Of vanilla, or lemon or
almond extract, and bake In a mod
crate oven for about IS minutes.
Hot SandVich
A lot of men enjoy a hot sandwich
for luncheon, especially If it is some
thing with substance and SAVIOR to
it. Here's one that country club
near Washington makes a speciality
of and which is enormously popular
with the Saturday lunchers.
Mix and force through the meat
grinder Y cup of cooked shrimp, y
cup of cooked chicken livers, a
seeded red pepper, Bermuda onion
and u cup Of celery. Season well
with salt. pepper, lemon Juice and
just a Whit of curry powder. Just
moisten with mayonnaise and spread
between slices of white bread. Toast
the sandwich and serve hot, with
garnish of watercress and pickles.
Shirred Eggs
Lots Of cooks overlook the posi-
bilities of the shirred egg. This,
cooked in its own little shirred-egg
dish, which holds eggs and ac-
compartments, is a welcome change
from the ever-present fried or
poached hen fruit.
Consider, for example, shirred
eggs done with bacon, and cheese.
Put 2 slices of broiled bacon-use
Canadian if you want to-in the
bottom of the porcelain shirred-egg
dish. On top of the bacon arrange
thin slices of Swiss cheese. Drop
the eggs on the cheese, being care
full not to break the yolks-it's best
to slide them from q cup-and bake
in a moderately hot oven for just
two or three minutes, until the egg
whites are set. Dust with salt and
pepper.
