sure of your fingers then the melon
is ready for the table.
Still fairly good supply Of corn
Is around, but 1t is nearing the end
OF the season. However, the lzts
rains that hurt the corn proved q
boon to the crop Of greens-mus-
tard, collards, kale, spinach and
turnips. The kale looked particu-
larly fresh and crisp. The first
pumpkins Of the year have been
brought to the market and another
first to arrive in our town is a
carload Of rutabagas down from
Canada.
Among the best values Of the
week are celery, which continues to
be very cheap, squash (zucchini,
white and yellow, and acorn, cab
bage, onions, lettuce. eggplant and
greens. Carrot have lost their place
on the list, they've taken an upward
trend the past couple Of weeks. Good
tomatoes are not as plentiful as
they have been: the good ones are
now coming in from New York and
New Jersey. The local crop Is about
finished as far as retail purposes
are concerned. You probably are
having some trouble with the blight
in your own garden.
1 whipped around to the fish
market to see what the best buys
were over there. The cheapest of
the lot are porgies and they are
running a very good size, too. But
terfish are small and on a par with
trout and croakers in the price
bracket. Founder runs higher but
that Is not unusual; blues and rocks
cost the same and run a little
higher than some of the other va
rieties. They're an ideal size for
broiling or pan frying. Mullets are
a good size and also cheap. Oysters
are costing a trifle less than they
did last season. Also, you'll find
scallops, green or cooked shrimp
hard shelled crabs, crab meat and
lobster-at a price, Of course!

This Is for Mrs. A. s. NJ, Wash

the stains Of tannic acid in a teapot
If 1t is q china teapot, this Is
how I clean mine: Fill the teapot
with very hot water, so that the
water comes up into the spout and
into the neck Of the teapot upon
which the lid rests. Then add a
couple Of tablespoons or more of the
kind Of chlorine bleach which you
use to whiten clothes. Let this So

minutes. Pour out and wash well
with soap and water and rinse. The
teapot will be like new, and am
sure It does no harm to the finish.

SUGGESTION;
PAINTING WALLS:

OESO1tk3 41lNN1 1xkN<0AGi&S&Nk
From Mrs. G.. r., Takond PGrk.)
I am all for the idea Of passing
on suggestions for cutting costs in
food and decorating.
I have discovered that canned
mackerel can be made into some
very tasty, inexpensive dishes.
There are good recipes on the can
particularly the one for mackerel
stuffed peppers.
Mrs. B. D., Washington (on paint
ing hallway. If your walls are not
already painted, I would like to pass
on to you the advice given us by
the builder of our new house. That
is to wait until the plaster has
finished cracking (from settlement
before you put on your decorator
color. otherwise I would suggest
that you pick another color from
your scheme for the hall and stair
way. Perhaps you could use gold,
mustard, or a more definite yellow.
An alternative would be to use a
lighter hue OF Jne same green uoeo
In your downstairs rooms.
Now, will some one help me with
some decorating problems? We are
thinking Of painting our fireplace
brick the same color as the wall
above 1t and fianking bookcases.
Has any one found that this Is not
a good idea7 Do you think 1t Is
fad?
We are going to paint a very old
ugly piano a light hue Of a pink
that is part Of our color scheme.
The wall behind it will be fairly
dark gray. I want to cover the top
of the piano with green leafy plants
and would like some suggestions
about what types would be suitable.
The area receives light but no direct
sun. What sort of containers should
I use and what color should they
be painted?
I am thinking Of making cotton
corduroy drapes and bedspread for
our bedroom. Is this a practical
material for this use? Should they
be lined? Would they wash or have
to be cleaned?

FEEDING TABLE;

Mrs. r. M. K: This information
on feeding table Is from observation,

prejudiced because I thought the
price out OF proportion to the ar
ticle. The one I saw was not on
sale in stores. This one came to
pieces in about a year.
OF course many pieces OF furni-
ture will pull apart, regardless OF
price, due to poorly seasoned wood
and climatic conditions, but If the
rings pull out of high chair they
may be replaced by using some
small metal pieces that may be pur-
chased in hardware stores.
I think q moderate-priced high
