The Frontier Woman — ‘Rainy Wash Day’ Theme As Extension Club Entertains Another in Unique Party By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Greetings, fellow readers! < October all ready. How tempus do fugit. (Think back to your 9th grade Latin and you can decipher it — that is if my wires aren’t all crossed up. Because, after all, it has been 25 or 30 years.) —tfw— Can You Use These Suggestions?— If you have 2 girls that share the same bedroom and closet, and they quarrel over their share of the closet, paint half the hangers one color and half another. If the kids are going to paint, color or play with messy clay or other such messy but creative work, button them into one of dad’s old discarded shirts, but put it on backwards and button in the back. Turn up or cut off the sleeves. Doing some fall painting? Paint the chairs, tables and other pieces that are not too heavy by turning them upside down and painting the legs first. It’s easier to do that way. Is it hard to get the young sters to nap? If you have a folding screen place it in front of the bedroom window. It will help to darken the room. Screen may also be used as bulletin boards for pictures in case you haven't already discovered that. For a change (and for sanitary reasons, too) use paper plates and other utensils in the sickroom. They can be burned when they have been used. A large cooky tray js better than a regular serving tray for serving sick children because of the small rim all the way around. It keeps things from sliding off. —tfw— Reader Tells About Washday Party— Mabel Guild, Oakdale, wins our 3-months’ subscription prize to day. Dear Frontier Woman: I wonder if you wouldn’t like to hear about an unusual party that 1 attended last week? Our extension club entertained an other club at the park and this is the entertainment we chose and all guests seemed to like the novel part of it. (By the way, it was really a “rainy” day. Thus the weather fit into the pattern of the thing, for we all have had rainy day experiences on wash day this year.) The building we met in was arranged like a wash house. Clothes lines were hung. When ► the guests arrived we were hang ing very “washed out" clothes on the line. Some one said, ‘It's raining,’ and we hurried to ga ther them in. The party was in full motion. Every lady there was asked to dress in a regular wash day outfit. If an ironed dress was seen, the lady wearing it was fined and she had to do some thing to entertain. Three sang a song. The bluest wash day tales were told and prizes given for the best story. As you might guess, dad’s socks or sister’s red pelt figured in the stories. The coolest hairdo and the best wash day costumes were observed by the judges. The ladies fished for clothes pins. A clothes hanging contest was a good contest feature. At “sunshine,” each side grabbed the wash basket of clothes and pins and hurriedly hung them. At “showers" each jerked them off the line. The side getting done first received washing products as prizes. Wash day dinner was served on a newspaper covered table. The menu consisted of baked beans, potato chips, egg and cheese sandwiches. Each slab of cake was marked “soap” and the grape drink was called bluing. Each lady present was given a butterfly from an oblong of print held together with a clothespin. i nese were worn ui dinner aim clothespin dolls were made by the guests each assisted by a hostess. If you ever try this type of entertainment, I’m sure the ladies will appreciate it a lot. It’s a lot of fun. MABEL GUILD —tfw— Letters Needed— Why not send us a letter for The Frontier? Each week we like to give a 3-months’ subscrition to The Frontier to the writer of the letter used in this depart ment. Now we need them, so won’t you sit down and write us? Send it to Mrs. Blanche Pease, The Frontier Woman, Atkinson, Nebr. SANDHILL SAL It used to be that everything was on the level. But not even the taxes are on the up-and-up. If your husband has no ap petite at breakfast, it may not be your cooking. Look in the mirror. People will believe almost any thing if you whisper it.
