The flavors go especially well together and are delicious made into soups, stew’s, croquettes or cakes (mixed with mashed potatoes and deep fried). * « * The household washing machine is ideal for dyeing curtains, draperies and other articles made of fabrics and can be colored with tints-that do not require boiling. You can let the washer run until the articles are sufficiently and evenly colored. ♦ * * The next time you make a pumpkin pie, when pie is nearly done, cover top with marshmallows and return to the oven fo.r 10 minutes.
