Mrs. c. T. S.. Arlington: The
Library of Congress has records
Of much help if you have the
names and places of parties you
are interested in.
Mrs. j. M. D., Washington:
To clean the mildew and dis
coloration from between tiles
and on them. fill the tub "a full
of water as warm as you can
stand in and add a generous
amount of bleach and take a
large scrub brush. Scoop water
upon the walls and scrub. After
cleaning wash well with a mild
soap. If spots are very bad, add
securing powder to that area.
Here are a few tricks which
know work: Two teaspoons
salt to boiling eggs will keep
them from leaking even when
they crack.
If you make a turkish towel
cover for your mangle, you will
not have to go over and over
your embroidered linens.
If there are heavy smokers in
your family you can save much
mess and burns by using a
small ashtray inside of a large
one.
When inserting a upper in
order to do it easily and keep
1t from slipping, stitch the seam
as usual. Then on the wrong
side pin the Upper at top, bot
tom and the middle with the
stitch gage set for long stitches
sew in the upper very close to
the edge of cloth and upper.
Turn and remove the stitch
ing over the Upper. Now pin
the upper as you want it so
that one side of the material
covers it and the other is close
and fat and stitch again from
the outside. 1t is always true
and no baSting.
I would also like to add my
little bit about the West Coast
of Florida. We have q small
place near Venice and since I
have lived all over the United
States, I think it has more of
everything than any place else.
It does get hot days but the
nights are lovely and except for
an hour or two around sundown
the breeze never dies. The
clothing problem is simpler and
less expensive. Other expenses
run about the same. Where we
are is still so new you have to
go to Sarasota to do big shop
ping.
The sub-tropical zone starts
just below Sarasota and you
have no weeds so it Is heaven
for allergy sufferers. I know
from the number of arthritics
and heart cases there both
summer and winter that it must
be helpful. A little neighbor
with four children told me they
simply have no colds or much
else since moving there. I have
been in that part of Florida
every month in the year over
a period of IL years. except
August and the two weeks
around Christmas and I have
only three complaints: I miss
continual airplanes overhead;
I miss hills and in the summer
I hate the little bugs that come
through the screens.
