OLD FASHIONED CINNAMON
CANDY?
BRISTOL BOARD?
From Mrs. J. H. M, WdshingtonJ
Does any one have a copy of a
recipe for Old Fashioned Cinna-
mon Candy which appeared in the
Clearing House several years ago.
I have lost my copy and am anxi-
GUS to locate the recipe. It was
fine.
I have been searching for Bris-
tol board with perforations, such
as the kindergarten children used
to use for working designs in col
ored wool. I have tried art stores
and hobby shops without success.
Would greatly appreciate it If any
one can tell me where I may pur-
chase 1t.
I also have a design which I
wish to have made into transfer
pattern. 1t is a cross stitch de-
sign and I wish to have hot iron
transfer pattern made. I have
been unable to locate a firm that
does this kind of work.

Silver Spring.
In answer to Mrs. c. H. B.,
Silver Spring: I keep confec-
toners sugar in a small kitchen
canister and it never hardens.
AS to cleaning hooked rugs, I read
in a household magazine that
they should never be shaken or
hung over a line or beaten. The
only method they suggested was
cleaning with your vacuum
cleaner.
T, too, wish some one would
answer your questions about
oxalis plants. have transplanted
mine (and was surprised to find
they are tiny bulbs and it grew
nicely but is very leafy also and
does not bloom. I am hoping the
summer sun will improve it.

popular brand that can be pur-
chased with matching draperies.

Has any one had experience wash

say to avoid tumble drying.
