y
have been very much interested
in something of this sort ever
since reading of a convention OF
mothers Of triplets, held in At
lantic City. I tried through every
source I could think Of (Atlantit
City Chamber Of Commerce, etc.
to contact the group but couldn't
I know of many sets Of triplets
in the Washington area. but do not
know how to contact them in re.
gard to forming a club similar tt
the one mentioned in Life.
So I would like to ask you CO.
operative readers Of RICH to point
out Life's article to any family
having triplets with whom yol
may be acquainted, and also tt
relay my suggestion Of organizing
a Washington group.
I feel confident other mother,
Of triplets will be interested II
the news reaches them, as w
have much in common that can.
not possibly be shared with oul
friends and neighbors.
I eagerly look forward to hear.
ing from any and possibly all o.
the Washington area triplet fam.

X
CAKE PROBLEM?
Iron, Mrs. S. ~. WashinotonJ
I would greatly appreciate it in
deed, If some one would enlighter
me on the following: Without fai
every cake that bake never comes
out Of the pan in one piece. II
remains in the pan in the center
therefore it breaks the cake. The
texture of the cake is fine but the
cakes break everytime because they
stick almost on the entire top.
would be very much obliged ir
learning my trouble.

LIFE IN A TRAILER
(From Mrs. B. j.. WashingtonJ
Mrs. X. E., Washington:
lived in a trailer while my hus.
band attended a university in up.
state New York for two years.
For yourself you will need nc
furniture as every trailer is equip
ped with 2 sofas that open to form
double beds. The families with
children take out the sofa far.
thest from the door and put thu
baby's crib, chest and work table
in its place. This means yo,
will have to make up your bed
each night, but the sofas are easy
to handle.
There usually is no running
water Cat least we didn't have
any. but we obtained a FIVE
gallon tank with a spigot, not
round in shape but rectangular
which doesn't take up much room
and we hung it right over the
sink. My husband filled it every
day and it was used only fol
drinking and cooking. We usec
two buckets for dishwashing.
There is more cupboard space
than at first meets the eye. but
not so much to hold Junk" thai
accumulates in any home. Their.
is also storage space under the
sofa. There are only two very
small closets. 50 don't brint
dresses you don't expect to weal
too much. Social life is usually
quiet.
We lived in a very cold climate
and in the winter used a small far
to circulate the warm air. You
too, might find it advisable tt
have one, because the floor /!
usually cool while the ceilings are
warm; and for a baby creeping
around you'll want more ever
temperature: However, the heat.
ers themselves are usually quite
adequate.
There Is a great deal to thi.
life in a trailer" I have otter
wanted to write a book on it. I,
can be fun, and certainly some
thing wonderful to look back on Il
you have the right attitude. Il
isn't as easy with a child, but
have seen 1t work with the highest
success.
CLEANING TOYS
From Mrs. F. T. L., Washington j
Several mothers have asket
how to clean stuffed woolly toys
which would fade If washed. AL.
though I have not tried the fol-
lowing suggestion, I know that the
local radio station which offered
it tests all hints on its program.
Make q paste Of raw cold
starch. Rub well into toy and
allow to dry. Then brush OF dried
starch and the dirt will coma 0ff
