A Column For
Women Readers
Week’* Best Recipe
Hot weather Salad—Combine
kidney beans, chopped sweet pick
les and walnut meats. Pile on
lettuce and arrange egg slices
around base. Serve with mayon
naise or highly seasoned French
dressing. Another combination is
composed of shrimps, celery,
green peas, hard-boiled eggs
garnished with tiny wedges of
tomato and slices of cucumber.
Shrubbery Care
When evergreen trees of any
variety begin to show brown or
red spots, one can usually find
the red spider, who is very busy
at this season. Dust the plants
with a mixture of dry sulphur
Get the sulphur sold at seed
and dry tobacco in equal parts,
stores and not the kind at drug
stores. Do this at once and con
tinue it three or four times dur
ing the season. A daily strong
spray from your: garden hose will
also help.
Hosiery Hints
Wash new hose before wearing
as they will last longer. Rinse
hose out after each wearing, in
mild suds and lukewarm water.
Do not wring-squeeze them. Don’t
rub soap on hose. Shake out
stocking, straighten seams and do
not dry in extreme cold or hot
temperatures. Be certain to faster
the garter above the run stop.
Sewing Machine Order
To .keep sewing machine draw
ers neat and convenient either fit
cardboard partitions across or
small boxes to form separate
compartments for darning sup
plies, tapes and spools. Covered
cold cream jars are nice for but
tons and snaps. A piece of flan
nel for your needles will keep
them together.
A Tip To Bathers
Always rinte out your bathing
suit in fresh water after you have
been to the beach. It helps to
prevent the salt water from rot
ting the material. Turn it wrong
side-out when hanging it up to
dry as the sun will fade the color.
