THIS AND THAT.
(R, X, WaShinqton)

Occasionally, I discover
something so simple I wonder
why in the world I never
thought of it sooner. Have
you ever had cornbread,
biscuits or rolls fail to turn
just the right golden brown,
even though they were done
and the rest of the meal ready
to serve? Just put them under
the broiler for a matter of
split seconds and you will have
that golden brown. Remember,
it is matter of seconds and
two seconds too long will burn
them up. So try it, but don't
leave the room and forget it.
It works like a charm.
Never-fail one-minute corn
bread. Into large mixing bowl
beat one egg. Add / cup milk.
l cup cornmeal. l scant cup
unslfted flour or full cup Qevel.
I mean) sifted flour Il never
sift mine). 4 level teaspoons
baking powder, u teaspoon
salt. Stir this mixture with a
wooden fork (if you're a good
cook you must have a wooden
fork, but temporarily use any
large fork, meanwhile melt

fryings are fine if you wish, in
a heavy black skillet. Pour in
shortening before it gets real
hot, stir very lightly, and pour
back into skillet which is al
ready creased. Start in hot
oven $500 degrees). If you see
dinner is going to be delayed,
you can decrease heat after
first 10 minutes of cooking to
400. If you're in a hurry, leave
it at 500.

MAGAZINES?
STRAW FABRIC?
MRS H. c., Washington,

Does anyone know where I
might obtain two copies of the
September 1853 issue of "Wo-
mans Day? I wanted to
make Scrapbooks of a clever
little continued story. "The
Borrowers" for my two young
nieces, but the September issue
sold out so early that I was
unable to get the two copies
of the last instalment. I sent
the money in to the publishers
but they returned it stating
that the requested issue was
out of stock. I do hope some
one can help me. I hate to
disappoint the little girls.
Also, does anyone know
where I could get straw fab
ric suitable for covering
drawer fronts? My husband
is modernizing an old chest
of drawers. I found one
place in town that carried it
but they sell only by the large

BRAIDED RUGS.
mrs. H. S. L., Falls Church

mrs. H. S. L., Falls Church.
Recently I have seen a num-
Der Of requests in RICH for
braided rugs. Making a
braided rug is a large enough
undertaking to warrant the
best help available. There is
a very good teacher in this
area who has the interest of
the braider at heart at all
times. Her rug designs are
similar to those seen at Will
liamshurg and are made in
round or oval shapes, exactly
as in colonial days. This
teacher plans the colors for
you and helps you to obtain
your materials. My own 6-by-
o-foot rug is nearing compile
ton and because of her help
I have a feeling of complete
satisfaction in her handiwork.
The teachers name is Mrs. G.
s. Chadwick Of Falls Church.
She has new classes beginning
in Bethesda and Silver Spring
under the Montgomery County
Board Of Adult Education pro-
gram and classes in Arlington
with the Arlington recreation
program. She also teaches
authentic hooked-rug making.
GRANDMOTHERS' CLUB?
MRS. N. E. F., Arlington
Several members of the
Arlington Grandmothers' Club
have just returned from the
National Grandmothers' Con-
vention in Florida where TOO
grandmothers were in attend
ance from clubs all over the
Nation. Surely there must be
some grandmothers in Wash
ington or suburban Maryland
who would like to have a club
of their own. I would love to
hear from any one who is
interested.

To the reader whose gar
denia won't blossom: Buds
must be watered daily. There
are two methods you may use:
Set the plant in a very fine
mist from a hose or shower
for a few minutes, or if more
convenient for you, soak cot
ton in water and very gently
wash each bud. This must be
done daily, or in dry weather,
more often. Hope this will give
YOU lovely blossoms.
