F, OLD RECORD?
(Fron1 Mrs. r. H. ~, Washington. }
Will the readers of the RICH
please help me locate an old Vic
trola record published about 1918?
The record was a story told by
Ernest Tompson Seton. 1t is a
most fascinating story concerning
himself and companions with an
Indian guide of the Ojibwa Tribe,
making a trip through a wild for
est. His story was interspersed
by weird calls and cries Of the In
dian guide to attract the animals.
Perhaps there is an old record
shop where I might obtain this
record.
AS my husband was an Army Of
fcer, we made numerous moves
and in a weak moment I gave the
record away. My children, who
then were small. enjoyed this story
so much. Now my daughter would
like the record or at least the story
to tell to her little boys.
I shall be eagerly waiting for a
reply from some kind reader and
shall be very grateful for any in
formation.

TWO QUERIES?
(From Mrs. T. r. P.,
CheDy ChaseJ
Having failed all other sources
I turn to you with your almost
never failing help. First. where
either locally or in surrounding
country may I buy raw wood pic
ture molding which may finish
myself and add hand carving or
other decorations? I have tried
every place I know in Washington
and the suburbs.
Second, can some of the readers
tell me how to corn beef for the
consumption of a small family?
I do think that your page Is
most complete and the brightest
of any women's page that I have
ever read, that is the world over!
PLANTS OFFERED.
! (Fron Mrs. G. L. H., WashingtonJ
I read your page every night
and miss it very much if I don't,
so would like to do a little when
I can to help others as have been
helped so much. I have many
plants which I would be glad to
give to some of those new home
buyers who would like plants to
get started. I have orange yellow
day lilies, lilies of the valley, false
dragon head and few iris. Write
to me In care of RICH.
CHARLESTON, w. VA.
LINED OAK.
from Mrs. c. c. c., Washington.J
In answer to Mrs. r. J. NJ, Ar
1ington: I have lived in Charles
ton. w. Va, most of my life until
a few years ago and still visit
often. Here are the conditions:
The weather is very much like
it is here in the District or Ar
lington. The housing problem is
about the same and the price of
food is about the same, only you
get much fresher and nicer vege-
tables there. The price Of cloth
ing is higher, unless you do care,
full shopping.
4 It Is a right nice, busy little
UOWA. o4 SOuA DC, yOA AO11 4A4A
the entertainment there that you
do here and the beaches are not
very nice.
In answer to Mrs. j. o. S., Clin-
ton: Lined oak furniture should
never be waxed. Wash with mild
soap and when dry rub with lemon
oil furniture polish. All good
furniture stores carry it, If not try
a well-known department store.

DAMP ROOM?
FEATHER PILLOWS?
(Fron Mrs. c. T. B., ArlingtonJ
T wonder if any of your readers
has a cure for a damp recreation
room. All of the furniture is mil
dewed and beginning to smell. In
the winter 1t is all right, as we
light the fire quite often.
Also does any one have a way
of cleaning feather pillows?
