FRUIT PIES.
CHICORY.

From Mr.. G. H. M, Washington
often read the RCH column in
The Star. 1t has proved very
Interesting to me since my occu-
patton Is concerned with food. II
am q retail baker. Now should
like to say something which may
help to avoid the difficulty In bak-
ing fruit pies.
Cook the fruit filler. using corn
starch, tapioca or flour as a thick
|ener, and let it cool before filling
the pie. A hot filler makes a soggy
bottom and top. An apple pie us
ing raw fruit with sugar, starch
and spices mixed. should be filed
heaping full since a raw fruit pie
shrinks considerably while baking.
Use a metal or glass baking
plate. whichever you prefer, do mott
grease. A good pie crust furnishes
its own grease. II you should
grease the plate, dust 1t with -four
|afterward. When rolling the dough
Use enough flour to prevent it.
from sticking to the pastry board
or the rolling pin. But do not use
excessive amounts of flour because
IT may tougher the dough. After
lining the pie plate-wet the
outer edges of the dough with
water or juice from the fruit filler.
The top crust should have some
small holes TO let the steam es-
cape; these may be in any design
that you prefer. Seal the top crust
edges firmly against the bottom
liner to prevent 1t from leaking.
The top may be washed with
melted butter, an egg and milk
mixture. or sprinkled with a little
|granulated sugar.
Set the pie in bottom Of hot
oven $50 F. and bake as quickly as
possible. If the upper crust browns
too quickly, cover with paper. The
object is to get the bottom and the
top crust done before the fruit
oils.
Now. some RICH reader wished
to know where to buy chicory to
flavor coffee with. I enjoy coffee
made this way very much. Chicory
may be bought at very large
grocery store in the 100 block OF
Connecticut avenue.

IVY.
from Miss E. L. Y, Washington. J
For Mrs. N. w. NJ, Kensington:
1t shouldn't harm your ivy plant
at all to clip the top of. But
the part cut of, would put in
water until 1t roots, then plant
it In soil.
If the CUTOFF piece is long, you
can cut it in two or three pieces
and start new plants, being sure
to put the bottom end Of each
piece In the water. / have two
pots Of miniature leaf ivy, and as
you say of yours. they are getting
too big. but they are beautiful.

i don't believe we had any below

cold. The only thing ! dislike
about the winter is the taku winds.
4 believe we had three takus this
past winter. They last anywhere
from three days to a week (while
they're raging it seems like for
ever. They're named "taku
winds" because they start from
the Taku Glacier Cor so I'd been
told) and they come from every
direction at the same time.
There's no turning ones back to
the wind-it strikes from every
direction. We've had the last for
this past season about a month
ago. That is the only thing /
dislike about Juneau-the takus.
We do have modern department
stores, not too many of them, Of
course, but have them we do. I
would suggest you arrange air.

practically all apartments are

HOBBY:
SPECIAL HINT
From L. w. r., WGshington.)
For M. r. B.. Arlington. Per-
haps your father could become in
terested in jigsaws puzzles. I have
known several highly intelligent
elderly persons, both men and
women, incapacitated for more
active pastimes, who derive much
pleasure from working these in
termittently during the day.
Get the interlocking type and
start with those OF $50 or less
pieces, those Of 1000 pieces really
present a challenge. A card table
is the ideal size for this purpose
May / make a suggestion to
those Of you who have some one
of failing eyesight in your home?
Serve their meals on pastel-col-
ored dishes. You'n be surprised
how much easier it is to distin-
guish food on a blue plate than
on q white or flowered one.

The suggestions found in the

My latest problem, is it possible
to dye a large rug? The rug is
of wool. a regular broadloom. I
only want to deepen the color. It
is light green and ! want to dye
1t darker green. Has any one
tried dyeing a rug at home?
