The Question Box
Q—We have several dozen music record albums which we would like to keep in the living room. There are no built-in cabinets of any kind in the room and no space for a separate cabinet. The room does have two large windows with rather
an inexperienced domestic. mistress
And as it in-
and maid, it will produce]
low sills, and we thought that you, might suggest some way that I could utilize the space under the windows for the purpose. A—Have a cabinet-maker build a window seat under each window with spaces large enough for some of the albums underneath. Shelves, which extend half way up the win-| dow, can be built on either side, to] hold more of the albums, or some; books. This gives a very attractive window effect as well as utilizing space which is otherwise lost. If the’ sills are low enough, the seat can be| covered with a flat cushion. If too high for comfortable seating pur-
ur poses, use the tops for a lamp and
books, ash trays, ete.
Q—I have quite a few large green pears that I would like to use before ther spoil. Delicious baked pears, with a Kind of meringue, were served at a dinner party recently. Do you have the recipe for pears served in this way? A—Peel, halve, and core the pears. Place cut side up in a buttered bak-| ing dish. Fill the centers with brown| sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon | and a dash of ground cloves. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to each half, cover bottom of dish with water, and bake until the pears are tender —about thirty minutes. Baste several times during the baking period. The meringue is made of two egg whites beaten until frothy with a dash of salt, and beaten again until stiff. Gradually beat in 4 cup sugar. Heat one cup of evaporated milk and one cup of water to the boiling point and drop the meringue into a tablespoon at a time, poach over low heat until the meringue is firm. Remove from milk, drain on paper toweling, and place on the baked pears. Serve hot.
Q—My silk hose are always such! an ugly color after they are washed. | What causes them to lose color? I wash them very carefully. A—Perhaps the soap and water! are at fault. To prevent loss or change of color to the greatest pos-| sible extent. always use a mild soap and lukewarm or cool water for both washing and rinsing.

I simply wonder if beneath your guilt, there still remains some obscure form of gratification] in your one revolt. | Your letter reminds me of the thread-bare story of the woman who confessed a misdemeanor regularly over a period of years.

——— | DEAR JANE JORDAN-—-I am a girl of 16 and I do not run around through the week like most girls my age. I go on Saturdays and { Sundays. I have gone with sev- | eral soldier boys. When I first | started to go with them, my par- | ents did not object but now I am| not permitted even to go to a movie with a boy if he is in uniform. I have a brother in the Army and 1 wonder how he would feel if the parents of the girls he knows took that attitude. If none of the giris | were allowed to associate with uni- | | formed boys, life would be pretty | dull for them. My girl friends go with soldiers and think the way my parents act is silly. Tell me what you think. BLONDIE. |
2 8 2 | Answer—I imagine that your par- | ents’ objections to boys in uniforin is not due to the fact that they are in the Army, but to the fact that | they are strangers. Your parents | have no opportunity to know what their background has been or what sort of characters they have. They | are afraid of the boys simply because they represent the unknown. | However, I agree with you that | now is no time to ostracize soldiers. | On the contrary everything pos- | sible is being done for the man in| uniform. The proper procedure for your parents is to invite the | boys to the house often enough to | get acquainted with them. Then | they will not feel so uneasy. { JANE JORDAN | |
