: February may be the shortest
month in the year but it has more
holidays and party days than any
of the other months. You can cele-
brate anything from grounding
day on the I'd to Washington's
Birthday on the 22d, with Valen-
tines Day in between.
Party or not, the list Of foods ex-
pected to be In good supply is long
and varied. There is choice enough
to insure balance and variety as well
as tasty eating for your February
dinners.
We're starting tho flush season,
when hens are again producing eggs
in ever-increasing quantity. AS
they come on the market consumers
will find supplies plentiful and the
prices attractive. And here IS some
thing all housewives do not realize
that there is right and wrong way
Of keeping eggs In the best condi-
ton. The large end Of the egg
should be up even in keeping eggs
for any length Of time In your home
refrigerator. The large end of the
egg normally contains the air cell,
which should be on top as the egg
stands. If the large end is down,
the weight of the egg presses on
the cell, causing the air to rise and
gradually loosen the membrane. At
the same time, the yolk, because 1t
Is lighter in weight than the white,
rises from its normal position In
the center Of the egg to the top or
small end. There 1t may adhere to
the membrane 50 that it is difficult
to remove the egg from its shell
without breaking the yolk. Eggs
with yolks out Of position are Of
lower grade than eggs with yolks
In the center.
Coconut Is another food that
comes into the nmelight this month
as topping for party desserts. Deep
snowdrifts Of feathery white coconut
is the perfect background for the
tiny red hearts on the Valentine
cakes and pastries. You can buy
the grated coconut in two different
styles or you can CRATE your own
A whole coconut may look forbid
ding, but with a little rough treat
ment will yield good results. If
you're timid about attacking one,
perhaps this hint will help you out:
First, punch one of the "eyes" and
drain out the milk. Then a hammer
or hatchet is the most direct and
effective way of dealing with it and
getting inside to the sweet. creamy
meat. The meat can be grated right
off the shell and added to salads,
desserts, frostings or pies.

SUGGESTED HEDGES.
(Frorn L. L. s.. TemMe Hill.

Congratulations on the constant
charm and the "like-old-friends-
and -old-wine" flavor the Woman's
Page is achieving! There for a
while African violets were haunting
my dreams. which would have been
o. K. had I possessed a green
thumb. This is in reply to Mrs.
w. H. G. of Falls Church. At our
previous residence we were unhappy
possessors of a privet hedge which
was beautiful but very expensive to
keep in trim, both from the physical
(if you did it yourselD angle or the
financial side. From observation
in our delightful neighborhood
here in Temple Hills I think the
barberry is the most beautiful and
the least troublesome. 1t is always
colorful and attracts many birds
with it's bright red berries. 1t Is
bushy and the young plants are
very inexpensive.
I have seen another type that is
very unusual and beautiful. One OF
Japonica (flowering almond. An
other of spirea Bridal WREATH.
These are all beautiful, but the size
of the property and it's appropriate
ness must first be considered.
(Fron1 Mrs. G. P. NJ, Falls Church,
In reply to Mrs. w. H. G., Falls
Church, inquiring about suitable
evergreen hedge. I suggest hedge
of Canadian hemlocks, as they will
grow dense and are one of the most
beautiful hedges. Mountain Laurel
Is not suitable for a hedge, but is
more effective in groups, and they
cannot be pruned, as that would
prevent their blooming. Canadian
hemlock grows even more dense
with pruning. We bought 10 hem
locks for hedge, and If you will
get in touch with me through the
RICH, I will be able to tell you
where you can get them very rea-
sonably. I also live in Fall Church,
and we Handicapped a half acre of
land and our garden is full Of flow
ers all summer long. We got many
helpful suggestions from the library.
I consider the ACH the most
important part of the paper
and enjoy reading the many help
full hints given every day.

STAINS ON FURNITURE.
(Fron, Mrs. d. J. w., Arlington.)
Mrs. F. T. c., Bethesda. This in
formation came to me through the
RICH and though I have no dark
furniture, mine being maple and
bleached woods, it has worked like
magic. For removing stains left on
wood from alcohol, heat or water
marks, dampen a clean soft cloth
with water and dip the cloth in
cigarette ashes. Git takes quite
few ashes tooD Rub briskly over
the spot and wipe off with clean
piece of cloth. Sometimes on Stub
born stains I have repeated this
process several times, but I have
never seen IL fail.

ADVICE SOUGHT?
(Front Mrs. J. J. r., J,
WaShinoton.

We are a couple of the countless
thousands who are seeking, even in
the face of such high costs of
building, ETC., a place to live to call
our own. We have no money to
speak of but could afford to pur-
chase a lot in a good suburban
(but not expensive) neighborhood.
Perhaps the readers would have
some suggestions as to what course
would be best for us to follow. We
had thought of buying a lot with
makeshift cabin, or house in
need of repair, ETC., If the price
were right and If the cabin were
livable. We have one son. aged 2,
and are expecting another child
in July, so the house must be
weatherproof. We would expect to
make the Improvements ourselves.
Another thing we had thought
of was to perhaps build garage
to live in (Which could later be
adapted to workshop for my
husband and perhaps guestroom)
UIlCll VIC CUulO dl1Olu W Uul1u tAAC
kind of house we want. In one OF
the home magazines recently saw
where this was done, but does any
one know how the garage could
be well enough insulated and still
keep the cost Of building down?
My husband is an apprentice
printer in his third year and his
salary is not much, but we are
willing to work and sacrifice some
comfort and privileges in order to
have a place Of our own. Any sug-
gestions any one has would be
greatly appreciated.
Many, many thanks to the RICH
for all of the helpful hints I have
made use of in the past, and may
it continue as the best and most
varied page Of usefulness in any
paper or magazine!

SHOE PROBLEM.

(Fron G. S. Men,, KenSingtOn.)
To the woman who was inquiring
about place to purchase special
shoes to fit a foot with long arch:
I, too, have a very long arch, also
narrow heel. In addition my
arches have become very weak.
I solved my foot problem" not
by the purchase of special shoes, but
by buying arch supports. These
supports, approved by the Ameri-
can Medical Association and Good
Housekeeping, come in sizes similar
to shoe sizes. They may be used
in any shoes you already own, both
low and high heeled. They will
make practically all styles of shoes
fit your feet, as they serve to fill
in the space in the arch. Further
more, they are designed to support
your arches. They are bit expen-
sive but for, me they have been
worth it, as I have been able to
wear two pairs of shoes which Id
discarded because of discomfort.
They are very comfortable.
I purchased my arch supports in
a store in Silver Spring which Is a
branch of main store on F street.
A special salesman in the shoe de-
partment will fit you and also give
detailed instructions for wearing
the supports. I hope this will help
you solve your foot problem.

LAMP SHADE FRAMES;
REMOVING STAINS?
(Fron1 Mrs. J. r. M, BetheSd1.) i
Noticing a repeat request for in
formation as to where one may
purchase large lamp shade frames,
I should like to give the lady from
Greenbelt this suggestion: 1t isl
many years since I bought one, but
the shop is still doing business at
a new address. 1t is a pet shop
on I street NV, between Ninth
and Tenth. Sounds odd, but Il
suppose they make bird cages. 7
wonder If the kind reader who sug-
gested method Of cleaning vase
or dish in which plant has stood
would repeat the suggestion?

vised by the jewelry shop in the
YMCA building that there was no
place in Washington to get my band
repaired, but they did recommend

Building, Cleveland Is, Ohio. They
did a nice job on my band and as

FOOD BUDGET.
From Mrs. M. L. G., Aler1ndri1.)
1 can see NO reason why Mrs. j.
H. S. of Mount Rainier cannot cook
for two on $65 month. I find that
I spend around. $l2 a week, this
includes all our food, but the milk,
which is usually abut $6 month.
l believe our diet is very adequate;
there is always fresh fruits, vege-
getables. meats. We do not eat lots
of sweets, because we do not be-
lieve they are good for us, but I do
bake whenever we have guests or If
I find myself with a few spare mo-
ments on week ends. I do have sew
eral economical dishes that can
fall back on if I see my budget get
ting low. Incidentally, up till re-
Gently this included lunches for
both of us. Usually our evening
meal includes soup, salad, cooked
vegetables, potatoes and meat.
Soon we hope to have a siX-year-
old living with us and I intend to
keep the food budget within SIS
dollars a week.
I have recently resigned my posi-
ton, but would still like to supple
ment Our income a little by doing
some kind of work at home. would
appreciate any ideas on this SUBJ
ject.

In MemOriam

In loving memory of our dear
wife and mother who died one year
ago, May 21, 1948.
Sad and sudden was the call
Of one we loved SO dear
Her memory is as sweet today
As in the hour she went away.
We often sit and think of her
And think of how she died
And that she could not say goodbye
Before she closed her eyes.
Peaceful be thy sleep, dear mother
Till we all shall meet again
And complete the family circle
When our work On earth is done.
Sadly missed by her husband,
Charles F. Miller; children, Mrs.
Dennis Brauen, Mrs. Arden Baker
Mrs. Don Wenger and James F
Miller.
