This, That And The Other By Mrs. Theo B. Davis When Mrs. M. D. Terry saw how badly my hand was jabbed with dried butterbean hulls, she advis ed me tc pick the beans fairly early in the morning; the hulls are not so dry and sharp before the dew dices off. The trouble is that I can't seem to find time to pick dried beans till late in the day. If you find canned pears lack flavor, try cooking them in as much scuppernong juice as you can spare for that purpose. Or have I said that before? Or slice a lemon and cook it with the pears; or use some ginger to pep them up. Best of all is to mix a small can of crushed pineapple with the pears just before putting them in to the jars. But, if one has pine apple now, it’s rather a pity to spoil it with pears. With rationing oeing what it is ! and shoe stamps no more plenti ful, I considered some time wheth er to try dyeing a pair of worn white shoes, at last deciding to try it. 1 went to Mr. Eddins’ repair shop to buy the dye. asking for advice as to what size bottle to choose. He was non-committal rm-.rl T th'.iioht hpst. to n’hiv safo. so ana 1 inougiu i iu saic, ou took the largest size in stock. It held twice enough to dye not only the slices, bi t my hands, tv o sheets of the News and Observer and a little on the table. Results were better than I had expected, though the looks of the shoes after the first coat of dye startled me. The second coat and polish helped greatly. You’d probably find it well worth while to dye the children’s shoes for fall. White ones are so hard to keep neat looking all day at school But don't get the idea they'll look brand-new when dyed. They won’t. You’ll have a pair of partly worn brown or black shoes instead of soiled white: but they’ll be far easier to care for; and a twenty-five cent bottle oi dye will do two pairs at least. Going from the.. 1 comedy to the tragedy of shoes, nothing in the present war has seemed to me more horrible or pathetic than the more than 800,000 shoes stored by Germans in a warehouse at Lub lin, Poland, after the owners had been killed and burned, their bones and ashes being saved for use as fertilizer. It is said that many children’s shoes were found with those of adults. Victims were prisoners of many nationalities., If my relatives or yours had been among those killed and cremated, do you suppose our Allies might now be fearing Americans will be . too lenient in peace settlements with the Germans? My son’s wife was putting her two-year-old son through his catechism designed to keep in his memory the father overseas. “Where’s Daddy?’’ she asked, and Leary answered, “In a’ air p’ane.” “What is he doing?”, and the an swer, “Fightin’ Jap’nese.” Then Selma asked. “What is he fighting for?” and Leary made an swer for himself. “Him got to.” he said emphatically. Which was about as good a reason as any that could be taught him. Daily papers tell of the diffi culties mothers are having outfit ting children for school, it seems there is an acute shortage of pan ties for little girls and the poor, puzzled mamas don’t know what is to be done about it. I’d suggest home sewing. Never was there a pantie bought for a little girl as pretty as those cut by a pattern, I gathered onto a band, buttonholes worked at back, front and sides— | six to a pair—and buttoned to i matching buttons on an under- 1 waist. Material may be what you can get, from nainsook, or domes tic to the tail of daddy’s shirt; or | you may even call upon the ever useful flour, salt, or sugar sacks. Os course the butttonholes are the worst part of homemade pan- : ties. If you can’t find spool i thread to suit, use crochet cotton. Be firm with the corners. Ive worked more than two hundred a season in underwear and lived to write about it. Os course it’s no picnic, but it is better than send ing your child off ill clad or un comfortable, <1 always feel sorry THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume 21. No. 1 With Those In Service ; 15th AAF In Italy.
