COUNTRY HOME.
(Mr. and Mrs. G. w. A.,
Washington
If the family who wants to
commute from a country home
would be interested in reading
a practical and detailed ac-
count of similar venture. we
recommend THE Have More
Plan," published in 1948. Con-
siderable space was given to
choosing a country home, and
economic and other advantages
OF such mode of living.
Although not qualified to
speak on rural values, we think
the countryside in the vicinity
of Herndon (and perhaps
Vienna) might offer an attrac-
tive and satisfying blend of
rural and community life,
within reasonably convenient
committing distance.
Certainly wish them success
in their venture.

QUERIES?

mrs. V. o. b., Washington
There are several things we
need information about and
know the RICH is the place to
find the answers.
What are some things to
know when using an electric
range? I will have the book
put out by the company but
am sure some one who has
used one can give me first
hand experience.
Where can one get detailed
information on building a re-
tanning wall? We would prefer
TO get the book or pamphlet
from the library rather than
buying it. We will be buying
new furniture for our Cape
Cod home as fas as our budget
allows. What goes best with
that type of home? Is there
a pamphlet or book on this
subject available.
I, too, would like to know
how to make newspaper logs.
Some one has written in lately
and asked for the information
but as yet I haven't seen it an
sUered. Thanks.

SKIRT PROBLEM?
-lMrS. G., IndidnheadI

I would like to hear from
some one who has had expert
ence with washing a wool-or-
lon skirt with pleats. I bought
a lovely plaid one last fall and
it has been a real help; have
never had to press it, even
though I wore it for long
periods in the car and with a
child sitting on my lap. I
would like to know if the pleats
really stay.in through washing
or should I have it cleaned?
Not having to dry clean it was
one of my reasons for buying
it; on the other hand, I don't
want to spoil it. Please let me
hear from some one who has
tried it. Thank you.

My sincerest thanks to Navy

nice reply to my request. I
should like to inquire further
of her. since I, too. shall be
taking two cookers to one of
the Pacific islands, how her dog
stood the trip, how many exer-
else periods day were permit
ted and-approximate length of
same, etc. I'm also quite con-
cerned about where on top
deck they put the crates since
I have aluminium crates and
even though very well venti-
lated would be awfully hot.
Also did Mrs. F. F. C.'s cocker
get seasick and if so what did
she do to help it over that
time?

FIREPLACE IN SUMMER.

MRS. C. F.. Siluer Spring.
To the lady who wanted to
do something with her fire
place for the summer-maybe
you'd like to try my idea. Brush
off all loose SCOT. ETC.. from
the floor and walls of the in
terror of the fireplace. You
need not get all black dis
coloration off. Just be sure to
get all loose material off. Use
a good brand of water-mix
paint to harmonic with your
room colors and paint the in
terror of the fireplace. A light
pastel shade will appear much
cooler than a dark shade for
the summer. The first coat
will show some traces Of the
black discoloration under
meath. When the first coat is
thoroughly dry, apply a sec
ond coat. This is well worth
the effort to enjoy a cool. clean
looking fireplace from May to
September. I have cleaned
four different fireplaceS in this
manner and received many
compliments. I would not sug-
gest wasting enamel or reg
ular oil mix paints for this
ever as they may not cover or
cling as we'll as would probably
have an offensive odor when
you started to burn the fire
place again in the fall.

LEATHER HANDBAG?

restore a nice white leather
handbag to it's original white
ness or even a cream white.
Bought the bag one year ago,
used it very little and it is not
soiled, but after using shoe
polish on it it became streaked
and stiff. Have been advised
not to use saddle soap on a
