HINTS.

(Fron, Mrs. E. B. B., Takomu PdrkI
Mrs. j. r.. Silver Spring: After
trying several types of strapless
bras and finding. as you did,
that they "bruise the bones or
slip and refuse to stay in place, I
finally found the perfect solution.
I discovered this very comfortable
bandeau type of brat is rayon
satin and lightly boned--at a
store on F street in Washington.
The name of the store Is two
mems names beginning with w
and L. I have since found these
bras at two large five and dime
stores downtown. They are light
and brief and perfect for hot
sticky days. However, I'm afraid
that they are suitable only for the
smaller figure.
Creamed Dishes: My mother-in-
law recently gave me a cooking
hint which have found useful
in many ways for creamed dishes.
Instead Of going to the trouble of
making a separate white sauce,
simply add q little corn starch to
the water used for cooking vege-
tables. Boil until thick. Perfect
for carrots and as q glaze for
sweet potatoes.
A delicious lemon sauce is made
by adding an equal part Of water
with the juice Of one lemon. Stir
in corn starch. bring to q boil
until thickened. then add grated
lemon rind for color. Nice on
baked frozen fish.
After tedious silver polishing Of
odd pieces, compacts. coasters.
relish dishes. gravy bowl. I bought
several yards Of q treated silver
cloth in the yardgoods depart
ment Of a large store in Silver
Spring. I cut the cloth to size.
stitched the pieces together and
tied drawstring fashion with
brown shoelaces. Much less ex-
pensive than ready-made bags.
To save scrubbing Jobs on large
broilers, buy q small pan which
comes with broiling rack. Nice
for two chops or a small steak and
much easier to wash than the
regular broiler.

PLANNING A KITCHEN.
From Mrs. r. r. L., Washington
Planning q kitchen from scratch
is q rare pleasure. Here are some
pointers. Have you appliances
follow each other in this way.
Refrigerator. sink. stove. with
adequate counter space between.
Arrange wall cabinets with q
view to what purpose you are
using the space beneath them.
The cabinet above the space that
holds your mixer should be
planned to hold all your baking
materials. etc.
If the family is five or more.
or entertains q lot. by all means
have dishwasher. 1t saves work
and time. If you do not plan to
have a dishwasher be sure to
have a sink with two bowls. and
have space planned for a fu-
ture dishwasher and the plumbing
roughed in. It will save a lot
of money and will be an advan-
tage If you ever sell your house.
I have never heard of the trou-
BILE mentioned with garbage dis
posals and I have friends who
have had them years. Again If
you do not have one installed
have the plumbing roughed in for
one. It should make no difference
in the price Of your plumbing.
Remember to make good use Of
your corner space with the vari-
Gus new cabinets designed es-
pecially for corners.

THANK K-YOU" NOTE.
(Fron, Mrs. r. P. G., Washington
I wish to express through the
RICH my deep gratitude to the
many kind friends who answered
my plea for Aid" published in
the column.
The one for whom I asked aid
is now touring Europe. but I am
positive that her faith will be re-
stored completely through the
help and prayers Of the many
who were so willing to lend a
helping hand. While the RICH has
always been of extreme interest.
this experience with "our column"
has truly given me the feeling Of
now being a part Of 1t.
