BABY CARRIAGE.
(From Mrs. J. H. F., Arlington.)
II you are considering buying q
folding-type baby carriage, would
say go all the way and get the
leather type rather than the metal
sided collapsible kind. Also, get one
that Is deep. Mine is excellent
My baby slept in it the first three
months, and has used it continuous
ly for 81 months now.
1t is strong enough to hold baby
and a box full of groceries and yet
light enough to go up and down
curbs and hills more readily than
other carriages. Also it can fold
up small enough to fit under a bed
a table. or even under the crib.
see no point in having the other
type of carriage except for show

fFrom Mrs. P. J. D., Arlinqton.)
Here's another chance to show nv
appreciation for the services and
ideas I have gotten from the RCH

lukewarm; add yeast. Add half of
flour; beat until smooth. Then add
remaining flour; beat smooth.

dough for thicker pizza. Place on
Toured board; pat gently into one
13-inch round or two 11-inch rolnds.
with edge slightly thicker (this keepsl
filling from running over during
baking). Place on creased cookie
sheet. Let rise in warm place IS
degrees until dough doubles in
height. Arrange filling, on top, and
bake as directed.
We use the thin rounds, two Of
them, and have received compli-
ments from many who have eaten
pizza in italian restaurants. Also,
we like the American Cheddar better

HOT MILK CAKE?
RUG MAKING?
(From Mrs. L. A. D., Washington
I have two requests: First for a
good hot milk cake recipe. Second,
please tell me where and when the
class in rug making will start. I'm
sure the group will be fortunate
In locating a place for lessons to
take place. I will appreciate the
information so much, as have
been hoping for some time to be
able to learn. Mother used to make
such rugs, but she is an invalid and
