Recipes Wanted
Mrs. J. M„ Washington
I would like to have two
recipes I've missed clipping
from The Star.
About six months ago a
fruit custard pie recipe was
given in RCH that was really
delicious. The recipe used
fresh peaches but I used
rhubarb and I’d like to try
it with other fruits.
The other recipe was in
another section of The Star
a few weeks ago. It was for
de luxe creamed chipped beef.
It might be of interest in
that it freezes well and part
of it can thus be used at a
later time. Thanks to any
one who ean supply these
recipes.

Leather Cleaning
Mrs. r, W. W., Arlington
I would appreciate some
one advising me on how I
could best clean and reflnlsh
the leather of a tooled
leather desk top. The leather,
though some 16-20 years old.
appears to be still pliant. It
feels soft to the touch. It
is mainly dirty and slightly
spotty. I thought of using
saddle soap aa a cleaning
agent but am afraid that
moisture may loosen the
leather from its foundation.
The desk Is a regular fine
grade mahagony office desk.
Thank yqp very much for
any advice you will be able
to sender. *
