interesting, attractively illustrated
book that appears to have antici-
pated every question a mother
might ask about budgeting, color,
design, making children's clothes
and their effect on disposition and
personality.
For affect them they do. Prob
ably none of us grow that far
away from childhood that we
can't remember what it was like
to want the special sweater, jacket,
hat, that was in favor with our
set each year. The effect on
children of being forced to wear
out-of- date. inappropriate, ILL
fitting clothes has long been ap-
preciated by many. We are told
by the authors that the colors
children wear affect them, too.
And the wearing of too adult
clothes encourages a child to wear
the manners of his elders as well.
Packed with constructive ideas
and concrete suggestions, this
book, a boon to mothers individ-
ually, should prove we'll worth a
study groups while. The clothes
stressed are child-centered, de-
signed to fit the needs of the child.
Both authors are specialists in
this field. Miss Thompson is head
of the department of clothing, tex
tiles and related arts in the school
of home economics at the Uni
versity of Alabama. Miss Rea is
assistant professor and extension
specialist in clothing at Iowa State
College.
Unity with variety will be the
goal toward which mother and
child will work together in plan
ming a wardrobe, the authors de-
clare. Clothes can make chill
hood a delightful period. They
can contribute to the developing
character of the child and to his
self-conhdence and good cheer.
They may influence his mental
health by encouraging him to
accept responsibility, to CO.
operate and to contribute"
The clothing needs of boys and
girls from birth through IL years,
in families in different income
groups, are discussed. The ways
in which a child can gradually
assume more and more respon-
sibility for. the choice, care and
purchase of his clothes are pointed
out. The principles of design and
good taste, distinct assets to a
mother in raising her child, are
Illustrated. Data on good buying.
ideas for mothers who make their
children's clothing and informa-
ton on fabric care and stain
removal are included, too.

MILK ON UPHOLSTERY?
MAYONNAISE JARS?

Vlff o4<4>1AAo1 S1AAee0.
from Mrs. J. M. j., SilUer SpringJ
A glass of milk was spilled on
one of my upholstered chairs. I
mopped it up as quickly as pos
sible and sponged off the uphol-
stery Immediately. Naturally the
milk soaked into the stufing. Now
it has somewhat of a milk
smell to it. Is there anything I
can do to remedy this situation?
Are mayonnaise jars strong
enough to be used in home can
ming? I am sure they could be
used for pickles and things that
are not processed, but I wondered
if they are tested before they are
used commercially so that we
could safely use them in pressure
canning. Does any one know?

PLASTIC FOR COUCH?
(From Mrs. G.. F. NJ, WaShingtonJ
This is my first request, though
I have enjoyed reading and re-
laxing with the RICH for over four
years. I now have quite a COL
lection of wonderful recipes and
home making hints and ideas.
Have any of the RICH readers
attempted to upholster a sudio
couch with the heavy plastic ma
terial sold by the yard in the de-
partment stores? The stores did
not recommend our doing it our
selves because they thought the
sewing could not be done on an
ordinary sewing machine. Is this
true? The arms and the bottom
front section of this couch are
maple and it opens up very sim
ply in one wide section for sleep
ing. About three years ago we
reupholstered it quite successfully
in a heavy tapestry material, but
it is wearing through along the
front edge now. Also with our
two active boys we would like to
try the plastic material. Do you
think that we should try it?

Tip one: To keep the cream
pitcher from dripping you can
stop it at once by spreading a
little butter on the tip of the
spout.
Tip two: Keeping rice from

the side of the kettle holding the
water and it will not boil over
on the range.
