Mrs. A. S. T., Washington
We needed another down
bed pillow. but when priced
them, they were from $11 to
SIS. and I thought that was
too much. Up in the attic we
had an old down quilt which
was not usable because, as
down quilts will do, all the
feathers had Sifted down into
the border. and that was nice
and puffy, but the center part
which covers you was fiat as
a pancake. So / decided to
take the down out of the quilt
and make a pillow and here is
how I did it.
/ used the screened sleeping
porch on a MINDLESS day, closed
the door and windows into the
mouse. put a scarf around my
hair, and went to work. First
I cleaned the bag of my vac
uum cleaner thoroughly, then
put the quilt on the bed, and
made 3-inch slit in one cor
ner of the border and slipped
the metal end of the hose of
the vacuum into it, running
the hose to the other end Of
the quilt. When I had gotten
as many feathers out as I
could, I slit the material from
one end to the other, and ran
the hose along the seams to
get the rest of the feathers.
Then l did the same on the
next side of the quilt and all
around. Then the next inner
ridge, and SO on to the center.
Each time the bag was about
three-quarters full I would
empty it into pillow ticking.
This was the trickiest part, as
they blow around so. It was
quite a job. but when / I'M
ished, had a nice, fat, puffy
bed pillow at no cost but my
time.
hope this will help some
one else, for I am enjoying
my pillow so much. More than

It is cheap and the freighter :
has a fascinating

It can be a little more rugged
than, passenger ships, but food

H. F. D. S. could send for
the following publication and
after studying it thoroughly,
go to a travel agency which
will make the reservations,
answer all questions and gen.
orally "hold her hand" They
do not charge except for un-
usual expenses such as long
distance calls. etc. The publi-
cation is: ''Travel Routes

Here are some economy tips
for Europe. Travel second class
oy rail. Hotels nearer the rail-
road stations are cheaper and
you save money on baggage
and it is convenient
for odd-hour trains. Get used
to room without bath. which
is perfectly usual in Europe,
and take room breakfast

PINE CONES.
MRS. r. L. d.. ArlinotonJ

AZ UIlC 1duy WIlO WTOIe IN
requesting information regard
ing the treatment of pine
cones for winter fires, I am
sending some information
taken from an article which
appeared in last December's
issue of the Woman's Home
Companion, written by Lucy
p. P. FriSbee.
I must say, however, that
I cannot vouch for the in
formation as ! have not tried
it myself, nor known any one
who has, but here is the in
formation for what it may be
worth You need a few ordi-
nary chemicals obtainable at
any drugstore which are list
ed as follows: Potassium chlo-
rate (violet flame), strintium
nitrate (red flame), potas-
SUM nitrate yellow flame),
copper nitrate (emerald flame),
lithium chloride (purple)
f1ame), barium nitrate (apple-
green f1ame), borax vivid
green f1ame), calcium chlo-
ride (orange f1ame), copper
sulphate (blue f1ame). Com
mon table salt also makes q
yellow flame.
These chemicals are safe to
use as directed lit says there
in the article), but like many
household items, should be
kept from the reach of small
children or pets who might
taste them. Do not mix them
in your metal utensils. Use
crockery containers or a
wooden bucket because many
of these chemicals are cor
rosive to metals. Also, when
treating pine cones, protect
your hands with a pair Of
household rubber gloves.
Pick the color you want and
mix this particular chemical
in water, about a half-pound
to a lf-gallon. Don't mix
the various chemicals together.
Before you start, put a few
cones in cheeSecloth bags, dip
them into the liquid and soak
them thoroughly. Drain them
we'll and spread them out to
dry on thick newspapers.
Sometimes it takes them three
OF four days to dry thoroughly.
For a Yule log, paint a small
apartment-SiZe log with a
chemical solution of two parts
chemical to five of shellac, or
soak the log in a solution of
one pound chemical to one
gallon water. Let dry for at
least 48 hours.
To make an accurate fac
simile of the colored fire sold
commercially. mix your chem
ical and shellac with Sawdust.
Several scoops of this treated
mixture thrown on the fire
makes a flame bouquet with
all the colorS of a Western sun
set. A box of this with a bag
OF cones makes a fine gift.
Well. there 1t is. May you
have a colorful fireplace this
winter!
