ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
From Mrs. A. M. p,

fFTOW MIS-. II. WI. r.,

Can any one tell me how to get
resin or wood sap stains out Of
a pair of my husbands black cot
ton twill trousers? He was work.
ing on some fresh lumber and the
sap from it has left white spots
at the knees. I don't believe the
trousers are washable.
In reply to Mrs. c. s., who in
quired about instruction book for
painting designs on woodwork and
where to get Pennsylvania Dutch
decals. A we'll known paint store
on New York avenue between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets
used to have the Peter Hunt book
entitled. "Transformagic." You
may still be able to get it there.
Also you may get decals locally
at any five and dime store that
handles special decals. This va
riety looks like the Peter Hunt
hand painted decorations and
they come in quite few sizes.
To Mrs. M. H. N. asking about
suggestions for baby shower, I
would like to suggest novel game
played at shower I attended. In
the invitation the guests were
asked to bring one Of their own
baby pictures. At the party these
were numbered on the back and
set in a row. The guests voted for
the cutest and for the most CLAM
orous senes and the winners were
awarded with a small gift. Part
of the fun is trying to guess whose
picture Is who.
