REQUESTS? I
(From Mrs. R. M. W., Washington.) \
We shall soon be leaving Wash
ington for far away. The RCH has
been one of the most instructive and
enjoyable items for me. Please for
give me if I act piggish. DUt here
are several requests I would like
answered before I leave.
I have two children, 3 and 1 years. ■
I plan to take a compartment to the
coast. How can I sleep the children,
especially the baby, so they won’t
roll ofT the beds on the train. I
could put one beside me, but what
about the other? I have a big box ol
discarded and broken toys, the latter:
could be repaired. Is there a w-elfare
agency here that can use these toys
and repair the broken ones?
Is there a trick to painting ceilings
so that paint won't run down the
arms? Has any one ever had any
luck buying cloth for children's snow
suits by the yard? I've been looking
for ages but have never found it.
Now- for one little suggestion, I've
sent in a couple before, so I don't
feel like a complete parasite. In
making packaged puddings, if you
Use 3 cups of milk instead of 2,
you get a less rubbery texture r.nd
more pudding. I often use 2 cups
of canned milk, plus 1 of water, too.

PIANO PRACTICE.

To Mrs. D. K. S., Silver Spring, you
are indeed fortunate that your 8>2
year-oid boy wants to practice: most
don't, you know. From my own
youthful experience, may I offer the
following comments in case they)
may fit your boy? He sounds so much
as I felt as a beginner. He probably
doesn't have self-confidence, and

therefore won’t cease to oe self-;
conscious, until he’s had a good deal ;
more than two months’ study, just
how' long would depend on his prog
ress. Better avoid the appearance
of constantly listening, but if you1
"just happen to be around,” occa
sionally and compliment him ->n a
well-executed bit, it would encour-l
age him. However, the comment
must be well chosen and sincere or
your purpose might be permanently '
defeated, for he would lose confi
dence in your opinion. A child’s ideal
is perfection, not mediocrity, so be
careful in timing your praise. Criti
cism of his temporary failures
should be avoided, he probably
knows how it should sound and is
doing his best to achieve that and
criticism W’ould make the temporary
defeat more bitter.
It might be encouraging to him if
you would explain that he may
struggle w'ith a difficult passage or
exercise for weeks, appearing to
make no progress, and then one day 1
to find that he can execute it with
perfect ease. He won’t be convinced,
until he has experienced it himself,,
but the actual experiencing of what
you told him would happen would
bring it home to him, and also
would inspire confidence in you and
make him more amenable to sugges
tions from you. Perhaps it might
help to divide the practice period,
separating two sessions at the piano
with some occupation requiring 1
physical activity to relax the tense 1
muscles.
As for his enjoying his music, I ;
don’t think you have to worry. He
enjoys H, or he wouldn't want to
practice. The harder he concen
trates. the more he loses himself in ;
his music and therein lies the en
joyment of it.
(From Mrs. W. C„ Washington.)
Perhaps my experience with piano
practice may help Mrs. D. K. S ,
Keep busy, out of sight, but in hear
ing distance of the practicing. One:
must concentrate to practice and!
close supervision is distracting. If
I heard my son getting too frus-'
trated over mistakes, I w’ent to the ;
piano with a little treat, such as a
bit of fruit or a cookie for him, but i
never a word about the music unless ,
it was something cheerful. The |
short pause would break the mo-i
notony and refresh his mind so that j
he was able to correct his mistakes
with no help from me. Don’t help 1
unless asked. Of course the "treat" j
should only be done occasionally, j1
on those specially difficult, days. Try i
to arrange the practice time so that :
it does not interfere with play time, j
To be called from his playmates toi
practice is apt to cause a dislike
for the piano. Don’t worry about
his playing before an audience.
When he learns well enough, that*
will take care of itself. It isn’t easy j
to keep a boy happy at the piano
for enough years to make his music
of any use to him. but I’ve found
that it was w'orth all it cost in time
and patience. My son. a scientist,,
now finds it’s a great relaxation
from work.
(From Mrs. J. A. A.,
Woodbridge, Va.)
Mrs. D. K. S„ who wishes her ;
child lo be interested in his piano ;
study should first make sure that !
he has a good teacher, and let me
say here, that a degree does not al- j
ways make a fine teacher. Listen1
to his playing and make sure that :
he is being taught the l ight basic;
work such as correct time, scales,1,
chord inversion, finger exercises.'
etc., and that his playing has good j
expression. If he has much diffi-1
culty have him take extra lessons'
for awhile. Then let the child and'
his teacher both alone. His teacher
has her method and when she wants
vou to sit by his side when he goes
to the piano she will ask you to. i
When he asks you to tell him a note,
do so. but not until he does ask. He
has little now to play for others,
but he will be glad to show off when
the time comes. Since he wants
to practice, your part is easy, just
listen. Don't criticize his playing
and point out to him his mistakes
or he will soon have little respect
for his teacher and pay no atten
tion to you and you will have frus
trated your own desire.

BREAD SOUP.
(From Mrs. W. F. Ba.,
Takoma Park, Md.)
To Mrs. B. A. L„ Silver Spring,
who requests the recipe for bread
soup. Cut up in small pieces one
or two heels of old but not dry
bread. Put several tablespoons of
butter in a saucepan and when hot,
add the bread and toast it until
oread is a golden brown. Be sure
to stir all the while and do not1
have the flame too high or it will
burn. Now add 2 cups of hot water
and bring to a boil, add 1 cup of
rich milk (part cream is best* and
bring to a boil again. Add salt to
taste.

UNFINISHED FURNITURE.
(From M. W. W.. Arlington.)
In answer to a question about un
finished furniture, I would suggest
the use of a waxy stain, which gives
a finish like that of a commer
cially done piece with a minimum
of effort and inconvenience. For
the amateur, this product does a
better job than any done by paint,
varnish stain, or stain and elim
inates the necessity of using pum
ice. This product is carried usually
by only one paint store in a city
and can be located by referring to
the classified paint section of the
phone book. , I
—
(From E. A., Washington.)
For Miss L. W.. Washington, who
wishes to know about refinishing
furniture, in my house, I have two
bureaus, a dining room table, din
ing room chairs and a china cabi
net (cover-typei which were bought
in the unfinished state. I do not.
think any one seeing them would
realize it. I have also done over a
second-hand bureau which was
originally golden oak. It is now
walnut finish. I began with the
dining room table and chairs. They
come properly sanded. Use a val
spar type of varnish which con
tains the stain you wish. (I use1
walnut because I like it best.) After
the first coat and when it is thor
oughly dry, sandpaper with fine
sandpaper and finally rub down
with steel wool. Then give it a
second coat. Do the same after
that. Finally I used clear varnish
and sandpapered and steel-wooled
again. Then I waxed. The finish
has lasted well. It does not mar
under hot dishes with no more pro
tection than the tablecloth and even
water spilled on it causes nothing
more than a very temporary light
>pot which disappears within min
•ltes when it is wiped dry.
The second-hand bureau dates
oack about 12 years. At first did
rothing to change it from the gold
;n oak because it didn’t clash too
iadly with its surroundings and I
hought I wouldn't want it when 1
eft. The piece has unique draw
lulls, and was quite spacious. When
t wanted it walnut, I took off the
iriginal finish with a paint and
.arnish remover, and then sand
lapered with coarse and fine sand
laper and washed off the dust thus
:reated with turpentine. It must
lave used plenty of turpentine as
[ remember. Then I proceeded as
vith the table and chairs. If you
inish your own furniture, be con
>ervative in the color and stain
ised. I think in the long run
:hose pieces which are finished
nore nearly like conventional fur
riture create less of the impres
sion of a home-made job. One al
ways recognizes furniture painted
n colors as originally unpainted
A'are while that stained walnut,
nahogany or maple can pass as
eal furniture if it has been care
ullv finished. To my mind, the
eal trick is in the sandpapering
rnd sleel-wooling. Don’t rush it.
Be satisfied to use a fine sandpaper
*nd go over it more often. A coarse
sandpaper will make more scratches,
rhe same is true of the steel wool.

CONSERVATION HINTS.
(From Mrs. C. E. S., Bethesda.)
I am much interested in the ques-;
ions and suggestions regarding
ood conservation lor I am deeply
•oncerned over the plight of the
jecple the world round who are
•ufTering because of the present
ood situation. And so I want to
>ass on two suggestions. On look
ng over my recipe for lace wafers,
[ suddenly realized how it admira
>ly answered the demands of the
:urrent crisis, it produces a delicious
tookie but takes almost no wheat or
at. Two tablespoons shortening,
l cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 2
?ggs, ’2 teaspoon salt, >2 teaspoon
tutmeg, 2'2 teaspoons baking pow
ler, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cream
shortening and sugar together. Beat
?ggs and add. Add salt, nutmeg,
latmeal, flour and baking powder
ind mix well. Add vanilla. .Drop
jy teaspoonfuls on greased cookie
iheet, about 2 inches apart as they
ipread while baking. Bake at 350
iegrees, 12 to 15 minutes or until
ightly brow’ned. Remove at once
vith a spatula or bread knife.
Secondly, with regard to uses for
itale bread, I have discovered that
ine crumbs lend themselves to other
ypes of cookies than the regular
Head crumb cookie. I experimented
vith the chocolate chip cookie and
ound I could make a most accept
ible cookie by substituting 1 cup
mead crumbs and >2 cup flour for
he 1\ cups flour called for by
he original recipe w’hich came from
he chocolate chip package. From
nv success with this I should not
resitate to make similar substitu
tions in other cookie recipes.

CLEANING SILVER.
STRAW HAT?
(From E. S. D.. Washington.)
I want to offer a timely warn
ing against the hot water and soda
method of cleaning silver. I can
speak from a very sad experience.
The soda removed the oxidiaed
treatment (the dark treatment in
the engraved pattern, put in espe
cially to bring out the beauty of
the pattern) and gave the pieces
a yellowish cast and mSide it look
slightly rough. The beauty of ster
ling silver lies in the satiny sheen
and true silver color that only rub
bing after a safe polish can give
it. Hot-water soaking is dangerous
to some pieces, such as knives, serv
ing pieces with soldered handles,
and candlesticks. Extremely hot
water softens the lead used in sol
dering handles and weighing can
dlesticks. Lastly, silver should never
be handled in piles or jumbled to
gether because it causes countless
little scratches. I keep my polish
handy to the sink and clean silver
as it is needed. Keep it in a truly
iarnish-proof chest and never have
to clean the whole lot at a time.
Can some one tell me how to
clean a good straw hat? It is small,
red, and of very fine soft, pliable
straw. It is slightly soiled all over
and I hope there is something I
could use to wipe or sponge the
soil off safely.
“THANK YOU” NOTE.

RENOVATING COMFORTS?
(From Miss G. W., Washington.)
I have been a reader of RCH for
some time and although I have
received many helpful suggestions,
I have not seen anything about
renovating down comforts* I have
a down-filled comfort on which the
silk cover has begun to split, allow
ing the down to leak out. So am
wondering if any one knows how
I may have it recovered or how
I can do it myself. Any sugges
tions will be greatly appreciated.

CLEANING COPPER. .
(From Mrs. I. F.. Arlington.)
For Mrs. B. S., Washington, for
cleaning copper and brass, try using
the soap pads that come boxed for
cleaning aluminum, etc. There are
several varieties on the shelves.
Step, step, step out in the lower
and lower heeled shoe. No longer
a rage or a fad, low-heeled favor
ites have become a standard shoe
fashion. Pictured are some of the
newest “flatties.” They range in
leathers from rough suedes, pol
ished kids, patents, buckskins
and crushed goatskin to the very
newest of all, cobra and Python
skins. As for colors, you’ll find
many of them in scarlet and
greens, and navy and black, not
to mention a bevy of suedes dyed
in shades to match and blend
with your summer dresses.
Dorothy Dix Says—
Dear Miss Dix: I am 17 years old
and have just graduated from high
school. I am madly in love with
a girl of my own age and we in
tend to be married at once. I think
that there is nothing better than for
a couple who love each other to be
married and have children while
they are young so that they may
enjoy a happy family in the flow'er
of their youth rather than wait un
til they are middle-aged.
Don't you agree with me in this?
AN UNDECIDED YOUTH.
Answer—I certainly do not. I
think that there is nothing truer
than the old proverb that ‘ a young
man married is a young man
marred,” and that for a boy of 17
to take unto himself a wife is for
him to commit a crime not only
against himself, but against the
poor, silly little girl who accom
panies him to the altar.
Of course, miracles happen now
and then, and once in a blue moon
a child marriage escapes going on
the rocks, but statistics show that
young marriages are rarely success
ful. They end in divorce far oftener
than do the marriages of mature
people. I get thousands of letters
a year from the unhappliy married
and practically every one of them
begins: "I married too young.”
And that is perfectly logical and
inevitable because teen-age boys
and girls are still growing and
changing, mentally and spiritually,
just as much as they are physically,
and they do not know themselves
what they are going to be when
Why Grow Old?
Hy Josephine Lawman
xne uuier aay i assea my momeri
how old she is. She said. "Honestly, I
don't know' offhand. Let's see—what
do you want to know for?”
"No special reason,” I replied. It’s
just natural for an offspring to won
der howr old its parents are, I
guess.”
I thought she was teasing me and
a little later left the room. When
I returned mother was at her desk
wdth a pencil and paper, working on
some figures. I asked her what she
was doing and she said she was
"counting up her age.”
"For goodness sake, don't do it
eyen if you aren't very old. I think
it is wonderful to be that uncon
scious of age.”
But she continued, "I'm curious
about it myself now.”
Actually, mother has always been
one of the youngest, prettiest women
I have ever known, and that’s not
just because I love her. She has a
skin which puts most younger
women to shame. She also has the
youthful mental attitude of enjoy- j
! ing life as it comes and a sweet dis
position. She has always been better
able to adapt herself happily to
changing circumstances than any
one I have ever known. She typifies
w'hat I think the attitude toward
years should be. 1
It, is not a matter oi preiemuug
to be younger than one is. This
course highlights one's age and
keeps it even more painfully in the
foreground of consciousness than
the usual attitude. However, why
do so many women count each year
so carefully ^tnd then seem to plan
what they want and what they do
by what ihe calendar says is right?
I just do not see how life can be
measured in years and remain vital
and exciting! Those who are busy
living and enjoying it are the ones
who seldom think of years at all. Of
course, there is always some one who
says, “at your age.”
The funny thing to me is that I do
not remember ever having heard
that phrase with a happy connota
tion. It is always brought forth in
connection with something like
creaking joints or not knowing how
to jitterbug.
I have never heard any one say,
“At our age, isn’t it wonderful? Now
heavier responsibilities are lessened.
I can do this or that which I have
wanted to do for so long,” or “At our
age we have more sense, or more fun.
or more joy out of living, or more
love.”
If the phrase, “at our age,” begets
such dreary thoughts and attitudes
it seems it had better be left unsaid.

they are adult. Nothing is further
from the truth than that when boys
and girls marry they will grow up
together and have the same tastes
and habits and points of view. It
is pure luck if they develop along
the same lines. Of the two who
seemed on a par in their teens one
may be a star in the 20s and the
other a dim wit.
Also, there is a practical side to
consider. Few boys in their teens
have any way of supporting a fam

GREETING CAROS
l ..“"i
‘Shop-Talk’
By Dorothy Bihinian
a word to male shoppers on their;
floral purchasing for this coming
Easter Sunday. Orchids have always
been associated with the “money”
set, but^since the general public has
come to realize that in spite of its
comparative high cost (especially
around the holidays) and fragile ap
pearance it is one of the hardiest of
cut flowers, the orchid has reached
the top in popularity. Here's a tip
for recipients! We always found it
worked wonders. Dampen a small
piece of absorbent cotton and place
it gently in the “tongue” of the
orchid. Put the corsage back in the
box between the shredded tissue,
then place the box in the refrigera
tor. Properly treated an orchid will
be wearable for many days. Spicy
scented gardenias are a ''surefire'1
choice unless your lady fair hap
pens to be allergic to the fragrance.
The snowy white bloom will go with
any costume—be it tailored suit or
ficval print. For the subdeb age,
W'hether she be your best girl, or
vour daughter, by all means con
sider sweetpeas. The various pastel:
colorings of this bloom are dainty
and sweet and go well with her un
sophicticated ensemble. Violets are
another favorite for Easter and the
color of this flower certainly is ap
propriate for the day. You might
consider camellias for they are
lovely yet aren’t as popular as some
of the above-mentioned flowers so
you won’t see so many duplicates of
your gift. If you men have any
bright ideas of your own for an un
usual corsage arrangement, you
mignt suggest it to tne norm ana u
time, help and equipment are avail
able he'll co-operate.
Honest to goodness, since the men
have returned to the fold, all we
hear is bowling. In fact, we've heard
so much about it that we decided
the conclusion was to get Interested
ourselves or become a ‘'bowling
widow.” This having happened to us
B. W. (before wart we knew some
where around we'd find a pair of
bowling shoes. Yep, under the back
seat of the auto. The shoes proved
good enough to wear on the alley,
but mighty soiled to be cairying
Back and fbrth. Rather than invest
in a new pair, we scouted around
and found a nice “toter” made
especially for this purpose. If you're
interested you'll find this well-made
canvas bag is equipped with zipper
closing and a strong handle for con
venient carrying. It also has a card
holder w'here you may place your

A new pot cleaner on the market
Is made of Monel, a rustproof alloy
containing approximately two-thirds
nickel and one-third copper. They
claim it will not rust or corrode un
der the influence of soap or other
cleansing agents and is soft and pli
ant so that it will not injure your
hands. This pot cleaner differs from
most in that it is knitted in one pure
roll. This construction prevents un
raveling as well as splintering. How
ever, it can be unrolled for cleaning
purposes.
Neighborly Co-operation
By Atigeto Patri
Rearing a child from birth
through adolescence is a 24-hour
round-the-year job and anybody
who thinks it is an easy one is very
much mistaken. The child who
never gave his parents trouble of
some sort is yet to be born. Most
parents get on well with the chil
dren while they are children and
behave in childish ways. The real
difficulty begins when the children
are half-fledged, the adolescent pe
riod.
At this time the children, both
boys and girls, are a bit unbalanced.
It is as though they had one long,
sturdy leg and one short wobbly
one. They waver between child
hood and maturity. Sometimes they
behave with adult discretion and
the next moment relapse in child
ishness, tears and complaints and
even threats.
There is no royal road through
this period. The children suffer
and their parents suffer with them.
If during their childhood, the chil
dren have been kept close to their
parents by affectionate understand
ing that ripened with the years,
the struggle is not painful, the suf
fering not so prolonged, nor so
keen.
But, if the parents have been
occupied with other interests, if
they allowed the children's interests
to take second place, there will be
division tension and discord. The
parents suddenlv discover that
things are not going well with the
half-grown children, that they have
scant influence over them, and that
other people have taken their places
in the affection of the children.
It is in such situations that neigh
borly kindness, neighborly sympathy
is demanded. When a neighbors
child takes his place in your fam
ily, becomes the daily companion of
your son or daughter, step care
fully. Study the newcomer, try to.
make him happy and at ease, and’
at the same time say nothing and
do nothing that will pull the child
away from his home. The day is
coming when that same wayward
child will long for the comfort of
his father’s understanding, his
mother's affectionate care. Keep
that fact in mind when the neigh
bor’s child seems to adopt you and
your family. He will, in time, when
this phase of his growth is com
plete, go back to his own family
and you would not have the an
tagonism of a neighbor darken your
life.
Remember that your child also,
is or will be, adolescent and he
will in his turn go through the
stages of maturity, he, too, will
struggle to find a place for him
