From Mrs. D. A. P, Washington,

(Fron1 Mrs. D. A. p, Washington

With my small children had the
problem of spilling food. but ]
much prefer using oilcloth pur-
chased at the dime store to pro-
tect my carpet. It is economical
and may be wiped and folded and
placed in the drawer with table
cloths. I find that a yard and
half for each chair does very
nicely.
To Mrs. A. E. S., Arlington: Per-
haps my solution might help you
| if you have not already tried it.
Curb some of your little girls ac-
tivity particularly before eating
and sleeping. I had routine
whereby I could have the baby
out in the buggy before lunch and
dinner, then fed and off to bed.
That way the child isn't keyed up
and can relax better. At first,
found that I had to relax on my
bed for a while with the little
one trying to sleep. 1t will take
bit of doing, but it worked out
very we'll with us and now we

The quality Of the fabric to be
used often determines the sill
houette. Sometimes a dress will
look fine in muslin but skimpy
when executed in q fabric. We
saw q sketch for a cruise line
dress calling for shirring. Shan
tung was being thought Of for the
fabric. Shantung happens to take
to soft folds rather than shirring
and the change was made right
then and there.
Final checkup follows on the
muslins. Actual fabric is selected,
the model is then cut and put into
work. 1t then goes to the sample
hand or the tailor depending on
whether it is a dress or suit.
Figuring" is the next step. The
man who figures gets the sample
dress and calculates it. Into this
calculation must come labor costs,
trimmings, fabric costs, etc.
The sample is then placed along

NORWEGIAN RECIPE?

Wondered if one of your readers
might be able to help me with a
marvellous recipe CNorwegian) that
my mother used to make pro-
nounced. "Croo-pa -cocka". can
remember all of the ingredients I
believe, but neither the amounts
or oder in which used. The first
step, I do remember, was to dice
a block Of bacon (about 1R
pounds) also a portion Of onions
and fry together. Then a dough
was made of cornmeal, grated
white potatoes, flour and salt. The
dough was picked up and patted
out rather fiat on the hand and
about l tablespoon OF the bacon
and the dough brought up and
formed into a ball. The balls were
then dropped into a deep kettle
of boiling salted water and let
simmer for about an hour. It was
truly a wonderful dish and I get
so hungry for it sometimes, that
1 could cry. I would be thankful
if some one could supply the re-
cipe for it.

BEE EXPERIMENTING.
(Frons Mrs. r. G. c..
HinsduIe, N. ~

To Mrs. L. D., Silver Spring,
who asked about exterminating
bees. Last summer large swarm
of bees found small holes in clap
boards in one side of our house
and in spite Of closely fitted and
sealed combination windows nu-
merous bees made their way into
the upstairs rooms on that side.
The first day tried ordinary fly
spray pumped into the holes
which were low enough so I could
reach them. but the workers were
as active as ever the next day, and
I decided on more drastic meas
ures. We had a five-pound bag
Of wettable DDT in the cupboard
with the garden sprays. OF this
I took about a cupful which I
mixed with water to make thick
paste. Using a long clothesline
pole I wrapped one end with thick
soft cloth which I dipped in the
paste after tying it firmly to the
pole. With this soft pad I rubbed
the paste on the clapboards
through which the bees were
entering the walls making it espe-
cially thick over the holes. BY
evening the bees were gone and
had not reappeared. There has
not been any odor so assume
they did not die in the wall, but
left. Later I tried the same idea
with a nest of hornets in the milk
house and they, too. disappeared.
Bees are not apt to sting when
they are swarming unless injured
in some way; but perhaps they
were workers carrying nectar or
pollen and some one struck at
them or got in the line Of flight.

STRAWBERRY BARREL?

read the RICH every night and

Now I want to ask If some of the

some one tell me what sort of
soil to use, about how far apart

about this that they can think up
that might help me in this mat

A thank you to those who Gin

NEW YORK, N. Y.-There's
enough hurrying and scurrying
done everyday in the garment

street between Broadway and
Eighth avenue, to rival any day.
before Christmas shopping rush
we've ever seen.
Much Of the dress manufactur-
ing activity is concentrated in the
area between 34th and 40th streets
on Seventh avenue. It's not q
quiet place. There are traf1c
Jams, trucks unloading dresses
and bolts of fabric. Men walk
quickly along carrying fifteen to
twenty fur collars on q hanger.
One Of these collars could very
easily be the fur trim for your
winter cloth coat. In the midst OF
all this, sidewalk merchants
selling corn, ties, and little wind

It was in this atmosphere I re-
Gently found myself working for
o. week with one Of Americas s
leading dress manufacturers,
Herbert Sondheirn. Mr.. Sondheim
has on his premises the complete
operation involved in making q
ready-to-wear dress.
After you've seen the actual
operation involved you find your
self operating on an "apprecia-
ton" level. You can't help being
impressed with the fascinating
and effective process so different
from the handmade work found In
European markets.
Following q dress from de-
signer's sketch board to shipping
rack is quite an experience.
Talking with Evelyn Gold, one
Of Mr.. Sondheim's designers, we
discovered that many designers
start early in the season to think
about the design they will create,
sometimes long before the fabric
they wish to work with is even
made. Right now New York de-
signers are busy on Palm Beach
and early spring lines.
In her designing studio there
are costume books, sketch books
magazines and the instruments
she needs. These instruments may
include scissors, yardstick, taps

The fabric is placed on long

He knew not that the ehieftain lay
Unconscious Of his son.
Speak. father!" once again he cried,
"If may yet be gone!
And but the booming shots replied.
And fast the flames rolled on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath,
And in his waving hair.
And looked from that lone post OF death
In still, yet brave despair.
And shouted but once more aloud,
