This season there is little reason
for any girl about to be married
to miss the thrill OF wearing Q
lovely wedding gown. There are
charming. truly beautiful gowns at
prices 70 At any brides budget,
You II find most nylon nets and
tulles, however. priced q bit higher
than marquisettes and organdies.
II you think We are plugging the
lighter fabrics . little more than
their heavier sisters. you are right.
For too long. We think, have WASH
ington brides suffered when warm
weather rolled around and they
were garbed in heavy gowns Of
either satin. brocade or heavy
crepes. What's more pathetic than

traditional white satin. long

This spring and summer the
most popular silhouettes for we'd
ding dresses seem to fall into three
classifications: The boufYant, the

Something blue" for the bride
may well be her wedding gown

SCUM ON CLOTHES.
from N. p. g.. Bethesda J

For Mrs. L. B. Washington. re
scum left on clothes: I had the
scum problem with my automatic
washing machine and ! hope that
my solution will help you. 1t Is
to use only detergents or synthetic
soap In your machine. The firm
which sold and installed my ma
chine said that could use either
soap or synthetics. but the latter
were recommended. ! used soap
and a water softener for seven
months. and the lint and scum
deposit increased all the time.
Hard water and soap forms the
scum, and while the water softener
helps to prevent it in ordinary
washing. it was not very effective
In my machine. Before I changed
over, !. put a half box Of water
softener In the machine. Allied it
with hot water, let 1t agitate, then
left 1t in the tub overnight before
spinning it out. Since then I
have used only synthetic soaps
0or three monthS) and have had
no scum left on the clothes. The
washing machine agency had told
me that you cannot shift back and
forth from soap to detergent. and
that they had gotten the scum of
the tub in the machine for a client
by the above method. You will
find that articles on washing In
hard water areas say that the de-
tergents are superior because they
do not form scum as soap does.
The women continue to use soap
from habit, as I did. Also, soap
sudS slow down the spin of your
machine so your clothes are dryer
when you use detergent. You will
find that very little detergent is
needed. I use from "a to "a cup
for an average mixed load. Try
it and see If it doesn't help.

CLEANING FLOORS?
SAFFRON.

(From Mrs. d. M. r.. Branchpille. }
Our house is at least six OF
seven years old and I don't be-
lieve the floors have had any
varnish applied since 1t was built.
Certainly not the proper care
So I am turning to the RICH for
help. The present condition is,
varnish worn very thin in some
places and off entirely in others.
In doorways and other heavily
trafficked places it is soiled into
the grain. We wish to yarn1sh
these floors but realize the stained
and worn places will show
through the varnish. I'd ap-
preciate any advice from the
readers of the RCH on how to do
the job right.
To the reader who wanted to
know where to buy Spanish
saffron, we used to buy 1t at the
drug store. We use it to flavor
raisin bread and buns. The small
envelope of saffron particles
diluted in small quantity of hot
water and allowed to cool and
added the same as yeast. Mother
also added few pieces of citron
for novelty flavor for holidays.

YOUTH BED.

(Fron1 Mrs. A. r. p, Siluer Spring
had the same problem. SO
maybe I can help you. I had a
single bed and before the new
baby came. I let my 15-month-
old try the single bed now and
then for maps. When the baby
came I had the bassinet, crib and
bed, all three. in the room for
q couple of months and asked my
big boy when he would like to
sleep in the bed. Sometimes he
would say no" I would praise
him on how big" he is. to help
along. I had never put the baby
in the crib up to that time. except
to lay him in and right back out
again. Now. asked the big one
If he thought the baby looked
nice in the crib and he would help
me tuck the baby in for maps
only. 1t was slow, but by the time
the baby really needed the crib.
our big boy had graduated to the
bed. 1t certainly helped night
training. If I were you. would
start your little girl now, for the
summer. About keeping her in.
Put her bed next to a wall, SO
she'll only have one side to fall
out of. Tuck covers tight on that
side. Tell her about the bed and
how careful she must be. then
tuck the outer side. She will
will fall a few times, but I'm sure
she won't get hurt. Good luck.
from Mrs. r. s. H., r., BethesddJ
In reply to Mrs. L. M. D.. Fair
fax: I placed my little girl in a
youth bed at % months. She is
"a months now and has never
fallen out and doesn't get out
unless I tell her to. I put the
bed against the wall which pro
tected her on one side and then
placed a chair against the open
ing on the other side. I really
think it would be more practical
to get a youth bed and put the
baby in the crib.

GOOD BRASS POLISH.

One of your readers recently in

May I suggest she get what is
known as blitz cloth, used by
Army and Navy officers to polish
their brass! 1t Is wonderful. in
fact miraculous.
Tailors catering to service peo-
pie carry these blitz cloths. they
are only rs cents each. but you
cannot get them In the depart
