glad to give you a pamphlet on
the subject.
A second solution is to have q
large dinner on Saturday with
lplanned leftovers. These can be
diversified little on Sunday by
making potato cakes for instance
from mashed potatoes, and heat
ing sliced meat in gravy or frying
| it rather than serving it cold. Add
Ia quick salad, such as sliced
tomatoes or cucumbers, rather
than a tossed salad which takes
time. We. use ready bought ice
cream or previously prepared des-
sert. A third solution is to start
from scratch, but use easily pre-
pared foods, such as frozen or
canned vegetables and packaged
food. The essential thing, I be-
lieve. is to do a little planning
ahead of time. just as you do with
your Sunday school lesson. I hope
these suggestions will be of help
to the person who wrote the
question, and to other busy
mothers
Some time ago a reader asked
about the relative merits of a
washing machine with wringer at
tachment and one that was fully
automatic for use in a place
where the water supply was
limited and the capacity of the
septic tank had to be considered
l have seen no answer to this
query and hope this one will not
be too late to be useful. A fully
automatic washer does use ano
discharge into your sewerage
system a large quantity of water
There Is one manufactured by 9
well-known mail order house
which for about $40 extra has
a device known as "suds
saver" This pumps the soapy
water into a tub and saves il
while the clothes are being rinsed
then puts it back again. How
ever, the rinse water is all thrown
down the drain. and it is a good
many gallons. Have you ever
considered well-known four
letter named machine which has
a separate spinner? This machine
will return the soapy water from
the spinner into the washer tub
and start doing another load OF
clothes while you rinse in the
spinner. 1t is economical with
soap and water and, OF course
much faster than doing both
washing and rinsing in the same
tub.
Another lady asked about
cover for a steep bank and won.
dered whether vinca minor was
better than pachysandra. I be-
lleve the vinca minor spreads or
propagates itself a. little taste,
rlfhan pachysandra. Many of my
'neignoors use ivy. If this person
had the time to take a stroll on
Ihlrty-ninth street NV, between
Military road and Morrison street,
she could see many treatments of
terraces from an intricate rock
garden Git is the owners hobby
TO just plain grass. She can see
beds Of myrtle, honeysuckle. ivy
and at least one of pachysandra
and some with mixtures.
