The Frontier Woman—
Flock of Wild Ducks in Back Yard
Occupies ‘Marge’ Few Moments Daily
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Saw something interesting the i
other day. A vacuum cleaner i
housed in a plastic covered has
W ^ —■■■■' "-i»r sock. It’s a nice
way to store,
the vacuum
cleaner, and
I’m sure the
hassock would
be very useful.
Just one thing
to remember,
you should need
the hassock, or
else you will be
paying for it,
too. If you don’t
need it, you can
always keep the
Blanche Spann
Pmm
vacuum cleaner in the closet.
Ways of packaging the prod
ucts for salesmanship are con
stantly on the increase these
days Women do love skillful and
colorful packaging whether it be
cosmetics, foods or vacuum clean
ers. Often the difference be
tween the sale of 2 like products
is in the packaging.
Incidentally, a lipstick called
" Scarlet Sin" will sell twice as
many sticks as if you called
the same lipstick "Rosy
Dreamt." Don't ask me why,
but the advertising people will
tell you it's so. Women like to
be thinking they're dangerous,
I guess. Grin.
Is the uphorstery on your dav
enport getting on the drab and
dreadful side, and does the big
chair need some refurbishing? If
you have any knack for sewing
you might like to reupholster the
living room suite with plastic up
holstering. It’s fairly inexpen
sive and easily cleaned.
I saw a large chair which one of
my neighbors had upholstered in
red and I honestly thought she
had just purchased a new red
chair. The results are really su
per. Another friend has used lime
green on a studio couch and it’s
fine for her smali fry’s smudges
and food stains can be wiped off.
Everywhere you go these days
you see the new plastic draper
ies, and they are really beauties.
So if you can't afford the heavier
ones, or small children would
ruin them, settle for the plastic
drapes and they can be swiped
clean with a damp cloth.

Collects 250 Wishbones—
“Marge” wins our 3 months’
subscription today.
Dear Blanche:
Here it is a dreary, misty morn,
'makes one feel like jumping back
in bed. Seems like the drizzle
sound of rain can make one’s
eyelids close so gently. Also the
drizzle of rain brings in a man
soaked to the gills, looks like a
bigger wash when Monday rolls
around. Such is life in Holt
county!
A few rods ba>‘K of the house
we have a little pond of water
which would soon disappear
with a few warm days. £ach
morn that pond occupies some
of my time.
The reason why: Well, we
have a flock of wild ducks on
it and 1 find it so amusing
watching them take off and
glide back on the water so
gracefully.
Can you guess my hobby? I
collect wishbones from fowl, as
we haven’t had the occasion to
raise chicks, I haven’t many. At
present I have around 250 wish
bones. I also love to clip each
recipe from magazines and pa
pers, besides copying each one I
hear on the radio. Then I live
in hopes of getting to try each
recipe.
I have had the houseclean
ing spirit this week but due to
such weather which is masking
out the sun, I have lost all in
terest.
Want to make a quick lunch?
Fry a pound of ground beetf and
a chopped onion, till all is done.
Then add a can of Spanish rice.
Quick and oh so good. I serve
this with creamed potatoes, as
I have no meat juice for gravy.
Pork is an economical dish
nowadays, but don’t forget how
•good that bread dressing is with
it.
Here’s my favorite salad:
MACARONI VEGETABLE
SALAD
One and a half cups macaroni.
Cook and let cool. .Then add 2
tomatoes diced, 1 cucumber
diced, 1 small can of peas, a
little cream cheese diced. Toss
and add mayonnaise, salt and
pepper to taste.
I had better get to work. If
this gets past the wastebasket,
add it to my husband’s subscrip
tion.

He struggled to enfold her, in
spite of her distress, believing,
as he told her, in the freedom of
the press.
Few women have any ambi
tions towards being lady wres
tlers.
Biologists claim that ants are
more intelligent than whales.
Maybe there is some truth in the
matter, but just the same,
whales are smart enough not to
go to picnics.
