Br BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you nice people
Things running smoothly at youi
houses? They aren’t? Then what
a consolation to me — because
that’s the way things go at our
house, too. Just when I think
I have everything running
smoothly, somebody or some
thing throws a wrench in the
works and things unplanned for
start happening.
Oh well, it’s all in a life time,
1 guess! A word to the wives
Blanche Spann
Pease
— when you
buy slip cov
ers for the
c h a i r 3 and
davenport —
or make them
— try to get
materials that
are washable
and then
wash them
with the
greatest o f
care. If you
get the kind
which has to
be dry cleaned, you will soon
find that they have been paid
for in dry cleaning bills several
times over. Wash them separate
ly and do it carefully— and you
’ll find their longer wearability
and extra good looks will be
worth all the extra care.
And while we are on the sub
ject of washing and clothing and
such—are you one of those peo
ple who use a bleach for the
white clothes?
Often we want to restore
stained dish towels and such
items to a whiter, brighter ap
pearance anej we use a bleach.
If you use a bleach, use a good
commercial bleach and be sure
to follow the manufacturer’s di
rections carefully. Items you
wish to bleach should be washed
first in the regular way— then
remove them from the rest of
the load and bleach. Then wash
them again, and rinse thorough
ly. Bleach left In clothes goes
right on working and it will
damage fabrics if it isn’t rinsed
out. You can bleach in your
washer after you’ve washed the
elothes —be sure the load con
tains only the articles that are
safe in bleach, no silks or wools,
remember. Fill the washer, add
softener and soap in the regular
way and add the bleach, using
the amount recommended by
the maker. Put in the clothes
and wash the regular way. A
gain, be sure you rinse thor
oughly. In fact, if you use this
method, we strongly advise rins
ing in the washer. Then you’re
sure all the bleach (and odor)
Das been removed.

work clothes properly? Prepare

as for soaking, turn pockets in
side out and shake. Shake loose
dirt out of the cuffs. Close any
slide fasteners. Fill washer or
laundry tub with hot water, just
as hot as you can get it, 140 de
grees to 160 degrees. Build thick
suds, using a good laundry soap.
Soak garments for 15 to 20 min
utes. Extract water from the
clothes and wash in fresh water.
Wash from eight to 15 min
utes depending on the degree
of soil, in water which is soft
and hot—140 to 160 F. Use
three rinses for best results,
two warm 120 degree, and one
lukewarm 110 degrees. Agitate
thoroughly.
Now that means you wash the
clothes in very hot water. This
is necessary for the removal of
the greasy soils, even though
water this temperature is too
hot for your hands. Use a
laundry stick with a blunt end
to handle the garments.
There are quite a few “tricks”
to learn about drying clothes
which will make things easier j
for you. Hang garments by their
strongest parts. Shirts by their
tails, dresses by the seams (if
sheer, hanger drying is best).
Shorts and trousers by the
waist. Hang towels and linens
one-third over the line. Sheets
double, with hems together,
saves ironing time. Hang slip
covers and blankets over paral
lel lines. Hanger drying helps
retain the shape of dreses, slip
and such and saves ironing time.
Use ordinary rust proof wire
coat hangers or wrap with a
clean white cloth. A clothes pin
on either side of the hook will
I keep the hanger from sliding, j
Gently shape sleeves and waist,
straighten hem. Seersucker and
chenille garments should b e
hanger dried. The maker recom- j
mends no ironing, except on
[ seams, so dry to shape.
If you are in a hurry for some
garment, hang indoors. Place a
fan on a small table, two or
three feet from the garment. Di
rect the flow of air from an elec
tric fan between the lines,
operating the fan afc high speed.
This will save from two to four
hours of drying time.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
Well, I’m going to try my luck
at a three-months’ subscription
to The Frontier. My, what a nice

blespoons finely minced onion, ,
one tablespoon sugar, 1V2 table- J
spoons catsup, V4 teaspoon salt,
l/4 teaspoon dry mustard, two to
Fry bacon, remove from pan and
three cups cooked dry beans,

mix lightly. Pour into baking j
dish, putting bacon slices on top.
Bake about 20 minutes in mod
erate 350 F. oven.
Here are a few helpful hints
I’m sure will be of some use to
your readers. Add a few drops
of vinegar to the water in which
the meat is cooking, it will have
a nice flavor. /
A little baking powder added
to the flour which is used for
making pie crusts, will make the
pastry much lighter.
Roll fruit in flour before put
ting in a cake to keep the fruit
from sinking to the bottom.

Cut roses in the afternoon if
you want them to last longer,
not in early morning. And re
move leaves on the lower part
of the rose stems. Leaves decay
