Force Flowers Now
This is the time Of year when
flowers bring life and beauty
to an otherwise dark day. Forcing
branches of bushes or trees to
put forth some blossoms now is
not very hard to do. Forsythia,
plum, CHERRY, apple, deutz.a and
spirea will all add to the decora-
i've possibilities of the home. For
sythia is below the snow level
and it is not likely to have had
Its buds damaged. Cut the twlgs
from trees and bushes and inn
merse the branches IN your laun-
ary trays in lukewarm wafer for
"a hours. Change water daily al
ways using warm water. Be sure
there is plenty of moisture in the
air of the room. When the twigs
pegin to bloom, remove them to
vases. This procedure will work
for all the aforementioned plants.
Just be sure that the twlgs are
cut clean from the parent tree o.
push. Failure to DO so may cause
trouble later. II the twigs are torn
from the bush the parent branch
may witker and die as the bark is
usually badly ripped by tearing
Twigs can be cut now and will
bloom in about two weeks under
this care.
Meat
Stews, pot roasts and meat pies
are all the better for a bit OF
celery or parsley flavor. Celery
leaves are often used fresh but
may be dried by placing on 8
baking sheet on top of the oven
until crisp and crumbly. Store in
air-tight jars and use literally
in your favorite meat dishes.
Pickup for Pockstbooks
Before retiring or discardini
that purse or handbag which ha.
begun to look shabby, try rejuv'
enating it with a little home
cleaning or touching up. Soilee

a dingy or worn look to purse
which otherwise is in good CON
dition.
| To hide water spots or othel
stains on a smooth leather purse
rub with colored shoe cream o.
wax polish, either colored O
clear. Shiny spots on a suede ba,
often may here moved just b.
light rubbing with very fin,
sandpaper. Scratched places O
worn corners on colored leathe
Imay be touched up with matchin,
shoe dye. India ink may be use,
to touch up black leather.
| Avoid the use Of dry cleanin,
fluid on. leather because it re
moves the natural oils and ma,
make It crack. But on fabri
purses, cleaning fluid may b
used successfully not only to talk
out spots but also to remove tn
dinginess that come from genera
soil.
