From Mrs. P. M, GaithersburgD
I hope this is what Mrs. H. w. O..
Alexandria, may be looking for:
Mix ~ cups brown sugar, 2 table
spoons butter. " teaspoon vinegar,
cup boiling water in top of double
boiler and stir till sugar dissolves
over hot water. Beat 2 egg yolks till
thick and light in color. Add " cup
cold water, 3 tablespoons -four, u
teaspoon salt and mix we'll. Stir this
into the hot mixture and cook over
hot water till thick. Pour into baked
pie shell and cover with meringue.
I think you will find this plenty
rich.

CROCHET BASKET.
From Miss M. r. S., Arlington.)
In answer to a request from Mrs
v. E., Takoma Park. for directions
for stiffening crochet basket,
should like to offer the following
directions which I use:
Have ready straight pins, a large
square of cardboard with q tall
heavy glass turned upside down ir
the center OF 1t. Then, In a pot
large enough to hold crocheted
pieces, mix x cup of water with
cup of sugar. Boil for two minutes
Put pieces into mixture and boil
two minutes more, stirring con-
stantly to insure even distribution
of sirup through pieces. Remove
pieces. Pull basket over glass and
pin points to cardboard. Let stand
until almost dry, but still flexible
enough to mold into shape. Shape
basket as desired. Allow to dry
thoroughly. Handle Is stretched fiat
until dry. If desired, run a wire
through handle before sewing te
basket.
