This is in answer to j. s. NJ,

August. Boston Is very nearly
as hot as Washington and the
clothes you are accustomed to
wearing here will serve you
very well-cottons, summer
suits, topper coat, etc. Boston

on occasions" You will see
many women in tailored suits
at expensive restaurants.
Beaches are easily accessible
20 bring your swim suits.
There are excellent large
supermarket chains, "Stop and
Shop" and Grand National"
among them. and one superb
and more expensive grocery
delicateSSen-liquor chain, S. s.
Pierce. Department stores are
fewer with less variety than in
Washington.

made ahead Of time. requires
less time to make, needs fewer

IL hours before serving. Usually
we empty the jar at dinner time
and during the cleaning up after
our meal, I discard the used tea

chopped orange peel cooked with
sugar and water which can be
added in any quantity individual
taste desires.
Where can one have raveled
yarn from an old sweater carded
and re-spun so that it may be

mrs. E. c., JenSington)

takes them out completely.
This treatment would not
