TWO QUERIES?


I have an urgent request to
make of the readers. Two Of
my nieces are expecting "bles-
sed events" in the next three
weeks and I am quite anxious
to crochet some little baby
slippers for them. I received
two pair of adorable ones
when my little son arrived,
but I have not been able to
secure any instructions for
making them. I have inquired
and also written to several
needlework magazines, with
out success. I win greatly ap-
preciate instructions for cro-
cheting the little toeless ones
that look like booties. with
pink or blue edges around the
toeless part and around the
top. I'd also like instructions
for crocheting the kind that
look like little slippers-with
a little strap and a tiny but
ton to hold them on.
Does any one know how to
clean silver or polish gold
braid and hash marks on Navy
blue uniforms? Also. how can
tar from a new road be re-
moved from clothing and
shoes?

MRS. F. l.. c.. Falls Church.
For Mrs. p. e. F., Riverdale:
I was married in 1927 when
pewter was very popular, and
I received many lovely gifts of

different metal polishes. none
with very good results. Then
by chance 7 tried a securing
powder that comes in a yellow
can with a chick on tits
name means good friend-and
it doesn't scratch. Take a
small soft cloth, dampen it
and dip in powder. Rub well
with the grain of your bowl or
dish. let dry thoroughly, then
polish with soft cloth. I find
this best for brass too, also
aluminium.

In response to j. C. c., OF

my recipe for a molasses cake

One cup butter. ! cup sugar,
3 eggs, cup buttermilk. cup
molasses, l teaspoon soda, !
teaspoon ginger, teaspoon
cinnamon, 8 cups unsifted

works very well, although does
not give quite the flavor as all
butter. When using shorten
ing. I add "a teaspoon salt. I
sift the flour after measuring
it and need a little more, as

as for cake"
Cream butter and sugar
well. Add eggs. one at a time,
beating well after each addi-
ton. Combine all dry ingredi

first with buttermilk, then
with molasSes. Put in roast

the cake about Is minutes or
