FEEDING CHILD;
VISIT WITH RELATIVES?

Z
EFron Mrs. b. Z. r., Falls Church,
After my baby began taking
milk from a bottle rather wen. he
was still not eating his solid food
as well as before. One morning
] was In q hurry and held him on
my lap to feed him his breakfast
instead Of putting him in his feed
table. And that morning he ate
all his food. Since then, he eats
fine in my lap. but not too well
in his table. We've decided he
needed that extra bit Of love and
attention. I'm passing this on
for the benefit Of any one who
needs it.
I cannot recommend the feeding
tables enough. however. Our baby
has been using his since he was
about z weeks old and he GER
tainly could not have been put in
q high chair that early. Now he
plays In 1t about half Of the time
and seems to enjoy it. It is so
convenient for me as it lets me
have both hands free for working
with the baby. The tables seem
expensive but it is definitely worth
It.
Now for q request: In June
we're planning to take our boy to
Atlanta, Ca. for two-week visit
with relatives. He viii be 9
months old by then. May I have
suggestions that win help every
one enjoy the trip more? I'm
planning to let him sleep In his
playpen there and will take along
O car bed and seat. My husband
will get a car bottle warmer. I
have list from a woman's maga-
zine Of things necessary for travel
with q baby but I'd like some
hints and suggestions from you
neighborS, please.
MATCHING DISH TOWELS.
CLEANING UPHOLSTERY?
from Mrs. r. p. NJ, Washington }
Mrs. B. j., Silver Spring: Here
Is my opinion on matching dish
towels and potholders. I agree
that fancy dish towels, or for
that matter, anything fancy and
matching a room will brighten
the room. I made some dish
towels and potholders for myself,
buying linen for the towels and
unbleached muslin for the pot
holders, and also for a matching
apron. I embroidered the figures
using the. ''iron-on" transfers
available at almost any dime
store. To make the potholder Il
cut the muslin in several thick
nesSes, into circles about 5 inches
in diameter and quilted them on
the sewing machine. On separate
circles embroidered the figures
and then secured them to the pot
holders, binding the edges with
cotton seam binding in q match
ing color and making q loop at|
the top to hang them by. These
are very easy to make and, II
think. rather attractive, but Of
course, I don't use them for gem
eral usage. I hang the towels on
the front rod of the holder and
the towels I use on the back two
rods. However the potholdersI
are thick enough to use II you
care to do so.
Would some Of you readers
please let me know of your ex-
periences with spot removers and
cleaners on upholstered furniture.
I have a red lounge chair which
has become dark and dirty look
ing, especially on the arms. It
has only had two years use. !
use the vacuum cleaner attach
ment on it regularly but it dosen't
help.
ROANOKE?
(Fron Mrs. A. T., HdnoDeT.)
We are moving shortly to
Roanoke. Va. and I would like
to know the best section in which
to house hunt, keeping the schools
elementary in mind. We like
to live fairly close to school.
