I wonder il the readers
would be kind enough to give
their opinion on a matter that
is causing q great deal of dis
cusion in our family.
We have a niece and nep-
hew who fiately refuse to call
us Aunt and Uncle, although
we have told them that we
greatly dislike being called by
our first names. The niece
has q child Of eight, and even
this little one is allowed to adj
dress US as John and Mary,
although we are people in our
sixties.
We don't want to be "stuffy"
or old-fashioned. but my hus-
band says 1t Is lacking In
proper respect to use the first
names without putting the
Aunt and Uncle first.
My husband is, as I said. in
his sixties, but he would no
more call his own uncles by
their first names than fly!
I really would like to have
some opinions on this subject,
and If we are wrong we will
Just have to endure being
hailed as John and Mary.

To the lady who wants to
put feathers in a new ticking:
Recently I put feathers in
o new ticking for bed pillows.
After having put the job of
for several years because of
the anticipated mess. I decided
to try doing it in the bath
room. I made my new ticks,
and sewed across the one end,
leaving an opening about eight
inches long. After opening the
old tick and carefully empty
ing the feathers into the bath
tub. which had been thorough
ly dried. I pushed the feathers
to one end of the tub and put
the new tick in the other end.
Holding the opening in one
hand, I grasped as many feath-
ers as I could in the other
hand "a fistfuD and easily
slipped them into the new tick.
I had taken my needle, thin
bic and thread with me and as
soon as the last feather was
in the new tick. I finished sew
ing up the opening, using short
basting stitches. After both
pillows had been filled in this
manner, I then stitched the
opening on the sewing ma
chine. Not one feather escaped
from the bathtub and there
was absolutely no mess. Furth-
ermore, the filling the new
ticking and sewing it up re-
quired not more than Is or
20 minutes.
I was careful to see that the
window in the bathroom was
completely closed and I also
kept the door closed so there
would be no draft to blow the
feathers about. I might add
that my pillows would be the
same size as the old ones, be-
cause the same amount of
feathers was put into each new
tick that was removed from
each old tick.
A vacuum cleaner might do
the job. and do it well, but
from my successful experience
and the short time required. I
would never recommend the
vacuum cleaner method to any,
one. The trick is to avoid all
drafts and to move the feath-
ers slowly from the bathtub
to the new tick, then carefully
push the fistful of feather all
the way down into the new tick
before releasing them.
Good luck to you, regardless
Of the method you use. I have
enjoyed using my pillows so
much more since they have the
new ticking.

Amazed and Grateful

Mrs. T. E. c., Falls Church
I have occasionally read in
this column of someone being
overwhelmed by answers re-
ceived through r. C. H. and I
just want to add that 1, too,
was over amazed and de-
lighted with the numerous
replies I received to my query
on the uses of a blender. All
were so helpful and I APP
preciate every one SO much.
feel I must say a special
thanks to the one who sent me
a cookbook and to the man
who took the time to look up
some recipes, too. This GER
tainly is a demonstration of
human kindness and while I
have answered two or three
letters before. I'll be more
anxious than ever now not to
pass up any opportunities to
repay this kindness.
