BLOCK PRINTING.

from E. A., Washington
In reply to Mrs. c. w H., Airing
ton, who asked for information
about making linoleum block prints.
Minimum equipment: Piece OF
linoleum about the size OF card to
be printed; design; short. sharp
knife, a "groover" or knife with
rounded blade 0ike potato peeler);
ink: and paper to print on. From
this beginning, as much equipment
may be added as the purse and the
wish dictate. 1t is desirable to buy
items singly.
Materials are available at most
well-stocked artists supply stores,
of which Washington has several.
Use "battleship" linoleum mounted
on blocks the approximate size OF
the design to be cut, to avoid waste.
If you wish. draw the design on the
surface of the block in pencil, or 1t
may be traced by means OF carbon
paper. Remember, it will print IN
reverse of the way it is placed on
the block.
Cut away all surface OF the oiock
not covered with a part of the de-
sign which is to be in the finished
print. For instance, if it is an out
line sketch, a ridge of linoleum un-
der each OF the lines to be printed
is al. that will be left of the surface
of the block. Work gently, removing
small portions at time.
When cutting is finished, ink the
block. For practice, use a stamp pad
for linking. or use india ink, apply
ing it with a swab of cloth. Place
the linked block face down on your
paper. Apply pressure. or place un-
der a weight for a few moments.
Then enjoy the thrill of your Gre
atiye t1andiwork as you remove the
print!
Don't think too much about
evenly painted" surfaces. 1t is the
texture that denotes the artists
touch. Smoothness of detail will come
with practice. Use smooth textured,
unglazed paper or soft cotton ma
terra s for your first efforts.
Look over the books on the sub
tect at the Public Library or the
Library of Congress. then buy those
which are written in a way which
YOU, individually, find easiest to un-,
derstand.

CHRISTMAS CARDS.
From E. w. S., Washington.

From E. w. S., W1shingt0n.)
1t would be very nice at this time
of the year If the ladies would repeat
the addresses of the institutions
who made use of the illustrations
from Christmas cards. I might say
that the Gold Star mothers have
been supplied for the coming year,
by collection made by one Of the
service organizations. But there
were several other groups who were
grateful for these attractive cards
to be made into baskets, screens,
ETC.. I might say Walter Reed Hos
pital declines them.

To Mrs. M. l.. T., Arlington: The
letter giving information about Den
mark is found in The Sunday Star,
August % or %, 1948. which you can
get to read in The Star Building S
Library. I was in Denmark myself
this summer spnding weeks and
it is a wonderful place to spend ones
vacation in. The best time is in
my estimation the latter part of
July and in August. The rural dis
tricts are at their best. The climate
is wonderful, very few real hot days.
You can contact me by writing to
RICH as I have scores of relatives
in Denmark and I may be able to
secure a list of good hotels and their
prices. And you will find in the
Library of Congress several good
Danish papers that might give you
some valuable information If you
can read Danish.

To COLOR cANDr,Eso

(Fronl Mrs. E. E. La ", Washington
Can any reader tell me what I
might use to color candles a bright
Christmas red? I have many short
pieces of candles, OF all colors. which
I wish to mold into one large candle
and color red. I have tried vege-
table coloring, but it will not mix
with the wax base of the candles.
I suppose the coloring- substance
must have an oil base. Has any one
colored candles successfully and, If
so, please let me in on the secret?

COCKER. SPANIEL.

From Mrs. J. A. S., Alexandria.
For Mrs. A. j. L., Silver Spring
I am not an authority, but have had
a little experience with a cocker
spaniel.
Do not be discouraged with yours,
for after all, it is only a puppy. I
have found you can teach them little
under six months. l would suggest
you give it its own playthings. such
as a pair of hose, tied in knots, an
old rubber shoe or an old leather
one, too, sponge ball Thread a
coarse needle with heavy cord,
thread this through the ball. tie the
ends together about foot from the
ball. They get quite bit OF enter
tainment out of these. also bought
small rubber doll with a whistle
in it. Tied a shoe string around
it's neck. also tied the ends together.
Put them all in a box In conven-
lent place. The pup brings them
out one at a time. just as a child
would.
| Other mannerisms come with a
little age. Patience and persever-
ence on the part of the owner Is
needed. They quiet down surpris-
ingly later on They are extremely
fond of small children. and as a
rule very gentle. Splendid pets,
and an alert watch dog. Are a little
nervous. because they are highly
bred. Ours is year and half old.

ECONOMY HINTS.

From Mrs. H. N. K, SilUer SPRING.
I was interested in ]. H. S., Mount

nv husband, myself and 2-year-old
son on $40 per week, and we nave
a we'll balanced diet. I do not rec
ommend that persons VINO can
afford better use all my shortcuts.
I buy fruit and tomatoes in season
and can all we can use. So far
nv garden has not been an asset
because it is not yet very productive.
shop where I can get things
cheapest for the quality. l never
throw away edible food. II vege-
tables are left combine them with
other vegetables; e. g., peas Win
carrots or potatoes with green
beans When these combinations
are left over I put them in a soup
lar. II I have things left too long
l boil to prevent spoilage. II we
are tired of soup I use leftoVers
in meat loaf.
We seldom ask our guests Tor
meals. and when we have unusually
good meat dishes I do not put more
than we should have on the table.
We often have fish cakes, chicken
backs and other modestly priced
meats and substitute legumes for
part of our proteins. We use canned
milk sometimes dried) for cooking.
If leftovers do not look or taste
right one can always add flavor
and color with imagination, onions
and canned tomatoes. We do not
leave food on our plates. If the
baby leaves something boil 1t and
use again. We use cooked cereals,
not much of the prepared kinds. I
find bar soap is more economical
for laundry than granulated. If the
water is hot it melts readily II
chopped fine. Another economy is
avoidance of fat meats and use
of waste fats in biscuits instead
of lard. The leaner the meat the
more protein one gets for the
money. Flavor depends as much
or more on the cook as on the food.

Harp Concert We'll Received

MargO Freeman, in harp con cert last Friday evening under the auspices of the Home Arts Club held the well-filled auditorium of the Nome School under her spell for almost two hours. The appreci- a i've audience responded with en- thusiasm to every number of the program which was so skillfully rendered.
 Mrs. Freeman was introduced by Mrs. Ken Rank, president of the club who explained that the beautiful golden harp had travel led all over the United States and into Mexico with its youthful owner who had played on it since she was twelve years old.
 Mrs. Freeman won her audience from the very first number by opening her program with a spe- cial request "The Old Rugged Cross"
 This was followed by a classical group including Minuet by Bee thevon, Aeolian Harp by Hassel- man, BarcarOlle by Offenbach, Last Rose of Summer, and the ever-popular Brahms Lullaby, sung exquisitely with harp ac- compartment. Purcells Passing By was also beautifully sung. The second group featured Irish melodies and included Harp That Once Through Tara's Hall, Come Back to Erin, Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms. With this group Mrs. Freeman sang Kathleen Mavourneen and Irish Lullaby CToo-ra--loo-ra- looraD as only the Irish can do it.
 The third group consisted of well known folk songs played with warmth and sung with deli cacy and tenderness. In this group were Santa Lucia. Juanita, Loves Old Sweet Song, Annie Laurie and Beautiful Dreamer, by Stephen Foster.
 The fourth gruop of Spanish and South of the border" num- bers was brilliantly presented and interpreted in sharp contrast to the other groups and brought a big ovation from her audience.
 This group included La Paloma, Maria Elena, Cielito Lindo, Que reme Mucho, La Barrachita, Faro Tito, Te Guiro Digiste. Mrs. Free man closed her program with Rancho Grande, which the audi ence demanded again in encore. Margo Freeman'S gracious and charming personality and her ability as fine artist will long be remembered in the community.
