ANSWERS.
Up. S., WdShin0tonJ

I would like to reply to in
quiries concerning washing a
garment which has had leather
or suedelike patches applied.
I have done so with wooden
sweater and had good luck. OF
course the sweater was washed
in lukeWarm water.
For the lady who asked about
dyeing her sofa, there is an
advertisement in the March
issue of House and Garden
magazine by a Lakehurst, N.
j., company who sell dyes for
rugs and upholstery. I have
no experience with this product
so would suggest trying it on
the back of a cushion before
doing the whole sofa.

MOUNTAIN VACATION?
(B, M. CheUerlU) ..

I am interested in spending
my vacation this summer in
the mountains. I would pre-

the deep woods with fishing
and riding and wonder if any
of these helpful readers know
of such a place east of the
Mississippi. Transportation
would be no problem.

I would be willing to subscribe
to a series of letters if such
exists and. in fact. would pre-
fer that to imposing on an in

REMODELING ADVICE?
mrs. C. E. r., VIENNA

mrs. C. E. K, VIENNA
We are remodeling an old
house and are doing a
thorough job, even to INSTALL
ing all new aluminium win
dows. My husband and I are
doing most of the work.
Do you think dry-wall
plastering would be all right?
We have done inside closets
for tests and there isn't a
crack or seam showing. We
also saw a beautiful job in a
new brick house, but I'm
wondering how we'll it will
stand up and what it will look
like in a few years. If any
of you have had good or bad
experience with this. please
let me hear through RICH. I
would also appreciate infor-
nation on teXtured paints
and the paints which one can
use sand in-can these rooms
ever be redecorated with wall
paper?
I live in the country and
would like information as to
the best floor covering for the
kitchen which would with
stand a lot of dirt being
tracked in.

WEEVILS
MRS. J. c. p, WdShingtonJ
An answer to the complaint
about weevils in breakfast food
and tiny worms in raisins or
dates: The eggs are in the
products. To sterilize the
products further would destroy
the food itself. Hence to re-
duce the development of the
egg, buy small quantities and
store them in a cold place.
The refrigerator is best. The
grocer has the same problem,
hence buys small quantities,
sells fast. The warmth of a
store shelf is harmless for that
short space of time.
The usual cupboards of a
kitchen are often over a stove
or upper walls of a kitchen,
where the heat is greatest.
Hence this is the cause of the
rapid change of the egg to the
next changes in its life cycle.
"PASTIES?"
mrs. C.. C. B., Arlington
would appreciate it very
much if some of the readers
could help me find a recipe for
"pasties." My husband ate
some of these when he made a
trip to the upper peninsula of
Michigan, and he raves about
them so. that I simply must
learn how to make them. They
are made out of pastry and
have a meat filling. He said
they are made either by the
Swedish or Norwegian people
up in the upper peninsula.
Please, will some one from
that part of the country help
me!

KILL DEVIL HILLS
BILL INTRODUCED
TO INCORPORATE
Beach Community Would Be
Cow rned by Mayor,
Three City Commits
Sioners

Kill Devil Hills.-A bill provid-
ing for the Incorporation of Kill
Devil Hills was introduced in the
lower house Wednesday by Rep.
R. Bruce Etheridge. Under the
bill's provisions, all the territory
now included in Kill Devil Hills
voting precinct will be in the in
corporated town, if the measure
passes, as it is expected to do.
If Kill Devil Hills is incorporat-
ed las it's residents petitioned that
it should be, a mayor, three COM
missioners and treasurer would
constitute the governing body. The
first officers would be appointed by
the county commissioners, but
elected officers would take over in
June, 1866.
Speaker Eugene Bost sent the
bill to the local government COM
mittee.
The Incorporation movement
here is chiefly an effort to give
the property owners some way to
control what shall be built in GER
tain areas, so that value of resi-
dence property can never be re-
duced by erection of Objectionable
business enterprises in the neigh
borhood.
Those who signed the petition
were told that Kill Devil Hills,
when Incorporated, would get part
of the taxes now paid to the coun
ty and that these would be suffi-
cient for the present.

Six in One Family III at Same
Time; Epidemic Believed
Brought from Norfolk

point never would have come up
had not Daniel Blum's big, dra-
matte pictorial history of the
movies come to the drama desk.
There, however, courtesy G. P.
Putnam's Sons, who published
it. the. volume was right in front
of us.
So, suddenly. was the wispy
memory of Rosemary Theby.
The memory, too, of the small
boy-almost as wispy. What
were they like, these two who
disappeared so long ago? Blum's
book, of course, could answer
directly only for Miss Theby;
in doing that answer obllquely
for the small boy.
y
1t is tricky little reveries such
as this that direct ones search
of book indices. In this one we
found a number of references to
Miss Theby, proving possibly
that Blum is the more loyal. or
more likely that he is the COM
plete pictorial historian.
Miss Theby turns up first on
page So. AS quite a shock to one
of her erstwhile admirer. She
is shown in a role, leading role
no doubt, in film. Baby" CO.
starring Harry C. Myers. She is
singularly unglamorous. For all
those big eyes and their gentle
expression, she looks exactly like
Aunt Agnes. Every ones Aunt
Agnes.
It is enough to shake a mans
faith in his taste. To shake but
not to shatter. Maybe it was far
ther along in their careers, Miss
Theby'S and the boys, that their
affair began. Say about 1917
one is truly hazy, not furtive,
about dates such as this. At any
rate man cannot give up on the
quality of his youthful taste
without further look.
The second picture of Rose
mary is on page 127 1t is a head
shot or, perhaps, a buSt!ess bust
shot might better describe it.
She's changed here, slightly for
the better. A little more sophisti-
Gated looking, as if Hollywood
had taught her something.
Frankly. however. she is not to be
compared with Marguerite Clark,
pictured big as Snow White Just
below the small cut of Miss
Theby. There's real charm, but
what of this Theby taste? There
must have been something to it.
But what?
Page 191 might supply an an
swer to that. 1t doesn't. BY now,
1920, when she and the boy are
both older, Miss Theby has
stopped looking like even Aunt
Agnes. She resembles nothing so
much as a statue of the pioneer
woman, one reeking with char
acter, courage, firmness of pur-
pose and all that. But totally
lacking in enchantment.
What to make of this in 1858?
There's a question. There is also
Evening star., 1953-12-02

an answer to it, namely that
while there is no denying Miss
Theby'S existence at the height
of the silent movies career. that
small, boy clearly never was.
He. not she, is the Pigment Of
the Imagination.
y X X \
Blum's book is fascinating
looking, not reading. It is a kind
of stupendous national family
album. Every one is in it in
cluding, indirectly, oneself. Look
ing so incredibly different. AS
every one is. Including Clifton
Webb who, in Polly With q
Past" made in 1920, looked ex-
actly like Donald O'Connor
And Flora Parker. Gloria de
Haven's mother, with whom the
National Theater's manager. Ed
mund Plohn, long ago had one of
his most gallant dates.
At $40, Blum's Pictorial
History of the Silent Screen" is
not likely to become a best seller.
Putnam's Sons did not assume
that it ever would. But the
drama department treasures its
copy dispite it's destruction of the
Rosemary Theby illusion.
