BRAIDED RUGS.
WaShinQtOn.J J

Ienjoy this page and have found
many helpful hints. so I would like
to try and help Mrs. P. o. Of
Hyattsville in regard to a braided
rug. I am just finishing a small
rug made from discarded chill
dren's cotton socks, etc. The
strips of this particular material
are cut S inches. One has to
Judge the width to cut materials,
according to the weight of the
material. Woods may be cut 2 or
I21a inches. while cottons are 3
inches and wider and silks. such
as stockings, may have to be cut
as much as inches. The width
of material decides the thickness
Of the rug. On knitted material
I cut them on the bias as it auto

too stiff and does not sew in as
we'll. I was advised by neigh
Dor not to worry about the few
ravelings that showed as they
swept of.
Regarding the hump in the
middle Of rugs. This is caused by
pulling the braidS too tightly as
they are sewed on. The only
remedy I know is to take the rug
apart and do it over. When sew
ing braided rugs together they
should be laid on a fiat surface.
I find the method demonstrated
in one of our downtown dime
stores wonderful way to put
them together. With this method
both sides are rights and no
stitches show.

FOOD SAVERS.

From Mrs. D. B., SilUer Spring.
To the lady who inquired about
feeding seven economically, may
have a suggestion or two, though
my family is six and two of them
are still in the baby-food stage.
In addition to being economical,
my meals have to be simple be-
cause of the time element, so I
offer no fancy recipes.
AS was written in to RICH pre-
viously, preparing a list in advance
and sticking to it while shopping
does save money. Make as few
trips to the grocer as possible.
buying in quantities for one or two
weeks at a time and freezing the
meats in your refrigerator ice
cube box.
Creamed Clipped beef on toast
is very popular in our family.
One fourth of a pound in white
sauce will cover seven pieces of
toast amply. One-half a pound,
costing approximately 78 cents,
with one vegetable and a salad,
should provide seven a good meal,
for it is very filling. Margarine
is a fine basis for white sauces,
which use for a number of meals.
With white sauce and a little
Imagination, lots of dinners can
be trumped up.
Two meal stretcherS we often
use are good old simple cole slaw
made with very finely chopped
cabbage, not too much mayon-
naise, a good dash of celery seed
and a teaspoon of sugar. Sailed,
of course. The other is sliced
lettuce salad; very filling. To
make it. cut the core from the
head and allow a small stream of
water to flow into it and through
the lettuce for minutes. Drain
and place in hydrator. 1t will
keep fresh. crisp and clean until
ready for use. Slice it and cover
withlta mixture Of - mayonnaise
and u ketchup. This is a great
favorite with my husband.
The remains Of a baked ham
will make a delicious pot of soup,
especially if you have had the
small end of it sawed of by the
butcher and save it fresh for the
soup. Peel the fatback off it and
discard. Cut out all the little bits
of ham left on the big bone and
put all in 10-quart pan 2s full
Of water. Add to this q box Of
navy beans that has soaked at
least 2 hours. When it boils. salt
to taste and a tiny amount Of
celery seed can be added If de-
sired. Simmer for or 4 hours.
adding a can Of tomato sauce a
few minutes before serving. Our
regular soup nights (the price Of
ham permitting are really my
night off, it's so easy.
One-half pound of good stewing
beef, 4 large potatoes, 3 large car
rots cooked in a 4-quart pan and
thickened with 5 tablespoons of
flour mixed into a semi-thin sauce
make an ample stew for us. with
plenty left over for lunch next
day. Season as desired.
These are all very simple foods
that probably can be improved
upon, but they help solve my
problems and the family keeps
well.

EATING ALONE.

From Mrs. G. F. M, ArlinotonJ
Eating alone is not conducive to
a good appetite. I have tried it
for over ten years. I have learned
to cook as for a small family. I
don't like the same food for sew
eral days. I can all leftovers in
pint and half pint jars in my pres
sure cooker. This is very simple
and gives you variety of food
when you don't feel like cooking
and nothing is ever wasted. I
can a chop. small piece of steak.
fried chicken or a stew. Pack meat
in the jars, and if you have a little
gravy put a little in. If not, seal
jars and set on rack in pressure
cooker. Pour enough water in to
about one-third of jars, cook for
80 minutes at Is pound pressure.
set cooker off to cool, then take
jars out. look at tops and stand
upside down to see If there is any
leakage. I canned turkey, dress
ing and vegetables after Christ
mas. You can make pot of soup
and can the rest in pint jars. Rice
with gravy is also good canned. I
enjoy the RICH very much. I hope

For Mrs. G. F., Takoma Park,
or any Of you good readers who
need an extra towel rack: 1t is
such a pleasure to pass the good
word" along. You will find
single or double chromium rack
in a large store on r street be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh streets.
They are a bit more expensive,

adjustable and will fit over rack
