WEE WOMEN
Run Home Like Office
w. NJ. L., Chevy Chase


For M. M. L.. Arlington: You
mentioned that things always
seemed to go so easily in an
Office, whereas with house,
keeping you don't have time
for anything. Well, why not
establish an Office routine in
your home?
It's true that children,
phone calls and visitors may
interfere with your duties
somewhat, but there are
always little interruptions in
the Office, too, and things still
get done. Assign yourself daily
tasks-write them down, pre-
tend that you're in an Office
and have to do them. The
psychological effect should be
wonderful.

Block Walnut Brittle?

o. a. IT, w uoft6tytOH
Many years ago my aunt
made a black walnut brittle
candy. the recipe for which
I cannot find.
The nuts were placed in a
shallow creased platter. The
candy which was poured over
it was made in an iron frying
pan and consisted of white SUI
gar, molasses. butter, vinegar
and. I believe, a pinch of soda
just before pouring. 1t was
not yellow like peanut brittle,
more transparent or light tan.
Does anyone make a SINH

mrs. E. +. B., washington
To the R. c. H. neighbor
who recently inquired about

BY a coincidence. I have
seen in both a thrift shop and
an antique store within the

to your estimate of their
value, the prices seemed to be
in the antique range. It may
pay you to explore shops of
this type.
In regard to the pattern,
there is a more or less gen.

Pros and Cons
On Coop Schools?
Mrs. J. A. A., Arlington
Dear Readers:

Dear Readers:
I am considering enrolling
my daughter in a neighbor-
hood cooperative nursery
school. The price of tuition is
about half that of comparable.
nonsectarian. private schools
in this area. This difference in
cost is possible because the
mothers help out in the coop
one or two days a month.
Do RICH readers who have
had children in coop pre-
schools feel that the co-opera-
tives are as satisfactory in
child development as the pri-
vate schools? Does the moth
er's occasional presence in
class cause any problem for
the child?
I'd like to hear the pros and
cons.
