By Anne Darling

Now that the Thanksgiving bird
has been tucked away, the time
has come for diligent application
to toy shopping. The toy shelves
are full. the aisles are not and
the ideas, we hope, are here.
Two standard brands of toys
for the younger children are
''Playskool" and "Holgate" and
both are commendable for the
attractive way that they sneak
education into all their items.
Holgate. for example, has a Won
derful big wooden shoe inhabited
by you-know-Who and her brood.
Very attractive, all by itself, but
the shoe is equipped with fine
sturdy laces and good-size holes
to teach your small fry how to
take care of this wearisome job
by himself. Very suitable for 8
to S year olds and any sizes who
haven't conquered the enemy yet.
The price is So and it seems to be
available in almost every toy
shop. We know you can get it on
Eighth and Pennsylvania avenue.
Playskool has excellent wooden
puzzles consisting of from to 20
or 25 pieces which we suppose
might get lost but certainly
couldn't be broken. The brightly
colored pieces fit together in a
frame for easier working and the
resulting pictures are simple but
interesting. Puzzles really do in
terest children from 3 years up
but they must be both sturdy and
simple as are these, to offer en-
couragement in persistence. Price.
$1.60. Available for 3 to 6 year
olds in nearly all toy stores. We
saw them at G and Eleventh
streets.
For any boy or girl over Z
years old and interested in nature
study, a Fourteenth street toy
shop has a splendid kit called
Mature Craft" that opens the door
to the insect world for endless
observation and education. The
habits and haunts of butterflies,
grasshoppers and moths can start
the child on a whole new world
of learning. The kit contains a
net. collecting jar, adjustable
spreading board. pins, identified
ton lebels. etc, all the equipment
needed by the young naturalist
The price is $3.50. Supply your
own insects.

Finds for Suntu's Pack

If plants and flowers interest
young scientists more than in
sects, he can be well taken care
lof, too, and with the greatest OF
ease. A set called ''Plantcraft'
contains all that is needed for
indoors growth of plants and flow
ers without soil, sand or injurious
chemical solutions. The set con-
tains eight flower pots and saucers
in two sizes. eight flower and vege-
table seeds (don't lose any, that's
I all there are), supply OF mica
and nutrient chemicals, plus al
necessary instructions. The sci
costs IS, and should be a source
Iof fun and learning for any chile
over 7. There shouldn't be any
repercussions if you give it te
an interested adult. Available al
a Fourteenth street toy store.
There are more imported toys
on the shelves this year than
we've seen in many year, with
England, France and Germany
sending the greater part. The
mechanical ones are wonderful
toys indeed, and seem more imag-
iniative than many United States
toys in that the child takes an
active part in making the toys
work.
We are so inclined to think OF
toy trains as being American. and
electric. that it comes as bit OF
shock to find one that is neither
American electric trains have de-
veloped into mechanical marvels-
milk cars unload themselves and
all that sort of thing. The child's
activity comes in setting up and
| in moving electric switches. But
the "Biller Train" German i'm
port, is not electric, but winds with
an enormously powerful spring
But that's only the beginning Of
the child's activities. There are
forward and reverse speeds,

house for turning the cars tcne

90 gauge track. The train con-
sists of one engine and three
trough-tip cars, plus lots of Other
interesting parts, all of which are
included in the $11.95 price. Al

are two cars involved which art

COOKING PROBLEM?
fFrom E. E. M. WGshtngtonJ
Your column is such a help and
JOY to read and I am sure your
readers can help me in my guam
dry. In cooking a rib roast with a
meat thermometer, we find the
smoke and odor in the kitchen
almost overcomes us. We always
heat the oven to about 500 and
then put the roast in and lower
the gauge some. At this time the
air Is SO thick we have decided
not to have any more roasts until
we find some solution. Is there
anything we can put in the oven
to clean off the old collection of
grease or what do your readers
recommend? We have a ventilat-
ing fan in our kitchen and we
live in a house, not an apartment,
so there must be some solution,
I feel.

the rug has become fiat. let lie on

rugs should be shampooed but if
you must wash it, dry over a

will pull out of shape and hump.
I have had many of these home
braided rugs and my method is the

to the RICH since I came to
the Washington district several
months ago.
From Mrs. CAV, SilUer Spring.
In answer to Mrs. j. G.. WASH

that won't lie fiat: have found
that a piece of the rubber mate
rial purchased by the yard in rug
departments of department stores,
laid under the rug. will f1atten it
out and also keep it from slipping.
However. if the rug was pulled too
tightly when braided. this might
not work. It is keeping three OF

I also have request. Can any
one suggest how I might remove
dark stains from my permanently
finished Bruce floors? They are

fFrOm Mrs. 5. f., WGSh1ngtOn.J
May / thank Mrs. F. D. of Wash
ington for the lovely cards she sent
me. I enjoyed them so much, and
I am sure she will be pleased to
know I shared them with a little
shut-in, indeed nearly all the
many books I make go to little
people, Shut-ins or indoors for
rainy days.
Now, may I ask some help? I
bought an iron skillet, pre-
seasoned, washed it as directed
and used it. cleaned it thoroughly
and dried carefully. yet when I
went to use it again it had rusted.
Now. is there anything can do to
prevent rusting and make 1t

FRENCH COOKIE?

fFrom Miss J. T., Washington.)
I would appreciate very much
receiving a recipe for a French
cookie which is served with wine
and champagne. It is shaped like
a lady finger and sometimes it is
made with potato flour. Its tex

rug on table and finish it there.
You must sew it on a fiat surface,
from the beginning till it is fin-

rug is going to be fiat or not. Hope
this will work out with you as it
did me, and am sure it will.

SCREEN CoATING2

From Mrs. RE. r., Norris, Ten't.J
Is there any kind of a coating
which can be put on a window
screen with the result that one
can see through the screen from
inside a house. but not from out
side? Will such a coating give
the screen itself an odd or untidy
appearance? What is the best
method of applying the coat?

PINEAPPLE HAM LOAF.
From Mrs. H. r., ArlingtonJ

After clipping so many useful
articles from RICH I now feel !
should contribute a little.
Mrs.sJ. B. c. of Arlington wanted
recipes for using leftover ham so
If she and her family like pine
apple with ham am sure she will
like this:
Pineapple Ham Loaf: Cover
bottom of loaf bread pan with 2
tablespoons each brown sugar and
butter. On this place 2 or 8 slices
canned pineapple, maraschino
cherry in center Of each. Pack
into pan mixture of ~ pounds
ground ham, " pound ground veal,
11a cups soft bread crumbs, l
well-beaJen egg, l teaspoon each

apple. Bake at 375 degrees about
As minutes. Turn out on chop
plate; garnish with alternate slices
of pineapple and red apples, both
of which have been sprinkled with
brown sugar, basted with cine
apple sirup, then baked in shall
low pan at 375 degrees for u hour.
Serves 6.
Any one who does not have left
over ham can use raw ham and
veal. i This is our favorite way of
preparing ham.
