WASHING SPREADS.
TABLE?
From Mrs. S. D. A., Wushinotor.)
I would like to reply to Mrs,
c. E. ks question about washing
crocheted spreads. washed mine
in lukewarm water and used mild
soap fakes. Then it was hung
out on a double line and it dried
quite quickly and did not stretch
at all.
Now I need some suggestion on
what to do with an old dinette
table and chairs finished in wal
nut. Has any one painted such
furniture and if so, what kind of
paint and colors were successful?

SHEDDING SWEATER?
From Mrs. E. r. B.. WdsllingtonJ
Can you tell me if anything can
be done to stop an angora sweater
from shedding? have a very good
looking white angora sweater
which sheds constantly and causes
me to sneeze so I have never had
the opportunity to wear it. I
might mention that I have worn
angora before and didn't have
this trouble but this particular
sweater is 100 per cent angora.
Thank you for any information
you can give me.
PIE?
CAKE?
From Mrs. D. P. A., Washington
I would surely appreciate it if
some one would help me locate a
recipe for lemon pie which I used
years ago. but lost in moving. It
was put out by a citrus company
and the filling was cooked in the
crust. not cooked and poured in
as other recipes call for. Also.
any recipe for cake without eggs
would be a great help.
