The Frontier Woman—
Boys’ Wagon Makes Moving Clothes Basket
Easier on Back —and Quicker, Too!
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you friendly folk!
March! — almost! I hope next
week’s weather will be nice for
those who have to move. Having
lived in the
same spot for
17 years, it has
been a long
time since 1
moved, but 1
have not for
gotten ali the
trials of mov
ing day —and
the days that
follow—by any
means. Some
Blanche Spann day I hope 1
p-aco can move into
F a new house.
Meantime, our house may be
old, battered and myself a little
bent from living in it, but it is
our own and paid for and even
all of its drawbacks have almost
become desirable from long as
sociation.
Easter is. approacning. it
can’t have a new outfit, have
your old one cleaned and press
ed. Maybe you can brighten it up
with some new accessories. A
bright red blouse can do wonders
for your old gray suit — and it
will do things for a navy blue
suit, too. One of the smartest col
ors to go with a grey suit this
spring is the various shades of
lavender. Another shade for ac
cessories that does things for
grey is yellow.
Any of these three shades
will brighten up your black
outfits, too. you know, but be
sure they will go with other
colors in your wardrobe before
you buy them. It is poor judg
ment to buy clothes that will
not blend in with colors of oth
er clothes in your wardrobe.
Wheg buying a new suit re
member that you are not buying
it just for this season alone. A
good suit should last you from
two to five years and if you se
lect a conservative cut, it will
not go out of style in that length
of time. Never buy a dress, a
suit or outfit just for one season.
Buy it for a longer length of
time, pay a bit more and wear it
longer, and you’ll be better dress
ed in the long run.
2 Babies in a Year
Keeps Mother 'Always Busy'—
“Always Busy" win sone of our
three - months’ subscriptions to
day. The other goes to “Mrs. F.”,
of Atkinson.
Dear Blanche and Readers:
Every week I resolve I must
write that letter to The Frontier
Woman. Before I know it, it’s
Thursday again and no letter
written. There have been some
very good letters lately, 1 espe
cially enjoy the ones written by
busy mothers with little tots.
That’s my dish at the present
time. I used to think 1 was busy
when I had just one or two. Now,
with the last two babies in the
same year on top of all the rest
of the work, I just wonder what
I did with my time before.
Of course, there’s no needle
work or rug making, just glad to
get a little, necessary sewing
done along \yith the usual patch
ing.
Still, I can’t say there’s ever a
dull moment around here, as thfe
yearling keeps things pietty
much in a merry-go-round most
of the time.

so many ways, still she needs
attention, too, and the little
brother does make a mess with
her dolls and play things.
Have found a few short cuts
that might help some others.
When taking otf the little folks
socks, I like to pin them togeth
er, not so much danger of getting
lost in the machine. Can just
throw them over the line. Like to
do this with the boys’ anklets,
too, when I don't run out of safe
ty pins.
I put my basket of clothes on
the boys’ little wagon, easier on
the back and quicker to pull a
long the line than be lifting the
basket. I have my clothespin bag
on a hanger and keeD sliding it
down the line ahead of me or, it
it is too windy, just take out a
couple handfuls and lay them in |
the basket, easy to grab a pin as
you reach for the clothes.
Anyone planning on buying a
new electric iron, I suggest buy
ing a steam iron. That does away
with your sprinkling of clothes,
then if you don’t have time to do
all the ironing, no worry about
clothes mildewing.
Hope no one else had the luck
I did of using shellac on their
wallpaper above the stove to
keep the paper from grease spot
ting and the hint said you could
just wipe your paper clean. I
thought the idea sounded splen
did. Having part of a roll of pa
per left, we tore off the spotted
paper above the stowe and pa
pered. Then I applied the clear
shellac. But alas it just looked
like one big grease spot for club
the following week. Oh, it isn’t
iust babies that make mother’s
hair get gray!
When you feel tired and all
in, have you ever tried combing
your hair vigorously? Somehow
it gives you renewed energy and
might add to one’s looks also.
Time to get some dinner ready
so just an idea for a quick but
good salad. Using lime gelatin,
add a can of white cherries cut
in squares and serve on lettuce.

She Put Castoria
in the Cake—
Dear Blanche:
You have been asking for let
ters, so I’ll try and help you out
again. Today is Ash Wednesday
and we will start attending mid
week Lenten services on w d
nesday nights. I really believe
more people should attend
church during Lenten season
and learn more about the Great
Man who died for all our sins.
This morning I was thinking
of the men and women who did
n’t have little children in the
householul. We have three, ages
5, 3, and 1, and believe me there
isn’t a dull moment from the
time we get up till I tuck the
last one in at night. Others don’t
know what they are missing.
For instance, awhile back I was
busy stirring up a cake so we
could go to a party and either
my mind must have been on the
children ox something else be
causea as I reached for the van
illa, I got the castoria instead
and had a teaspoonful put in be
fore I realized what I had used.
Well, the cake turned out
pretty good and we didn't go
to the party. So we ale it and
couldn't tell the difference.
Anyway these little folks of
ours are pretty nice and we
wouldn’t trade places with any
one, when they’re sick we try
to make them well, and when
they’re happy, we are happy too.
During this Lenten season I
have a recipe which I like to
use. It’s very simple, just cook
the right amount of macaroni
that it takes for your family and
while it’s cooking, I use a fourth
of a pound of cream cheese and
melt it in a pan on the stove.
When melted I add a little milk
and salt and pepper and pour
over the macaroni. It’s good ser
ved with mashed potatoes and
a, green vegetable.

Surprise Gift for
This Reader—
Today since we have quite a
few letters on hand, we are mail
ing out a small surprise gift for
this letter, which though it did
n’t win a subscription, did win
a small prize.
Dear Blanche:
May I come in? I know the
door won’t be wide open, it is
30 dreadful cold. But I will rap
as I have come for a friendly
chat. We are having our coldest
weather right now. It has been
10 below zero quite a few nights
and one night it was 15 below.
Then it gets 10 a'bove during the
day. I don’t like such cold
weather. Who does?
I have been busy the last few
w ceks crocheting a few rag rugs.
I would rather make rugs than
patch overalls any time but I
have patched lots of overalls too
in my time. I also like to piece
quilts. I did lots of canning
fruits and vegetables. I will send
along two of my favorite cookie
rec'pes.
