The sewing machines are going to hum this month, Some people will be making new clothes and some will be remodel- ling old ones, so a few hints on time- far the family dressmaker may be in orcleie, Take ripping out side seams, to make a little larger? You baste the edges together at the limited edge you fan sew along; turn right side out and -cut the lower thread of the seam with a shorn razor blade. 'Get a pair of scissors sharpened, and then hide them from the family. Scissors get dull very quickly if they are used to cut paper, string or any- thing that comes along, then you can- not cut fabrics with long even lines that make neat seams. Sewing is an agreeable job. A little time and patience will produce worth- while results. Turn the frayed collar of your husband's white shirt and listen to his praise. Take a Tip: 1. Instead of having the recipes you slip loose in a drawer, keep them pasted in a loose-leaf notebook. Hang it by a skirt hanger, at eye level. You will be able to find what you want and the pages will stay clean. • 2. A coating of aluminum paint on the inside of the garbage pail prevents lust and makes the pail easier to clean.

J. asks: Why does home- made mayonnaise separate even though I keep it in the refrigerator? Answer; The manufacturers have better mixing equipment for large quantities of material. It may look curdled but a whirl with the beater will make a smooth emulsion. It is not necessary to keep mayonnaise in a cold place, Mrs. B. Mc. suggests: Grated raw yellow turnips is delicious in a vege- table salad. Combine it with chopped celery and serve on watercress sprigs. Mrs. W. W. says: I believe in keeping the coffee in a jar in the re- frigerator and I serve hot milk with hot coffee. There is more flavour and requires less coffee. * * * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Timeses Send in your suggestion on homemaking prob- lems and watch this column for re- plies.

Boyle Patricia Ann has been using scissors for quite some time now. At first she used them for cutting the-newspaper. Just as soon as you back was turned she would get the paper and the shears and go to work. This was a bit difficult • . because she always seemed to have a gbod news sense and would almost always cut up the par- ticular page that you wanted to read. We stopped that. Then she entered into the stage of cutting 'out paper dolls. There were dolls in various stages of being dress- ed or undressed littered all over the house. ' This was a bit of a problem. Just as soon as you tried to sit on the rocker, you discovered that Peggy Ann and her family had set up light housekeeping on that chair. Dick 'and Betty were firmly in 'possession of the couch . . . and so on. At one stage of the game there weren't enough chairs so Patricia Ann had them laid out of the floor. After a rwhile she tired of thiS and the paper dolls were put away, in boxes, for infrequent reference. The next development with the scissors came when she started cutting out .dresses- for her dolls. Every sctiap of cloth available was used in dress- making. She even .started on the leg of, a.' pair of clean overalls of mine that had been hanging on a nail on the back 'of the washroom door, Out- side of a few scratches she managed very well although some of, her de- signs were a bit startling to say the least. Yesterday I ,was startled. In fact I was quite certain that t iny eyesight had gone back one me. Standing in the passageway of the stable I felt the familiar rub of the old cat brushing up against me.' Absent-mindedly I reached down to pat her on the back when I felt something rather strange on my hand. In fact it felt something like a willow-gad. Horror or horrors it was the cat's tail . and some- body had shorn the most of its hair and had even taken a couple of patches of hair off the hack. Just imagine By Dean Halliday Released by Central Press Canadian Next to strawberries, fresh rasp- berries are a welcome addition to any meal, many people, of course, peefer- ring them above any other fruit. When space permits, raspberries should be included in the Victory Garden. Fifty -plants require about 150 feet of run- ing rows. Such a planting will yield about 50 quarts of berries, which is all the average family will require for use as fresh fruit or for canning pur- poses. Raspberry plants are' particularly sensitive to poorly drained soil and grow best on a slope where they're- ceive full sun, Like strawberries, they -should, not be planted on newly turned sod for fear of injury from the attacks of white grubs. Raspberries• are planted as early as what a cat with a naked tail would look like. 'Fuming about anyone who would do such a trick I left the stable and started across the barnyard to the pig- pen. The collie came into sight. He looked as if he had spent a week-end with some gigantic moths. Patches of hair had been cut off from his tail an,d his body and his collar was certainly a mess. Poor collie was in bad shape. He sneaked around behind the strawstack and I'm certain the only thing that could cheer him up would have been a look at the naked tail of the cat. The whole thing was troubling me when I went to the house,' Mrs, Phil was horrified when I told her. For at, least ten minutes I fussed about the terrible trick and tried to pin down possible suspects, The Higgins chil- dren were dismissed because they had never shown any indication of doing such 'things. • The door to the bedroom opened and Patricia Ann walked out. We were so busy thinking about the cat and the dog that we didn't even look up. Then Mrs. Phil let out a terrific exclamation, I looked pp and there the 'soil can be conditioned, Since raspberries are subject to a fekv seri- ous virus diseases, only certified stock should beplanted. Immeditely upon arrival of the raspberry stock it is wise• to soak it thoroughly, store in a dark place and keep it wet until planted. As illustrated in the accompanying. Garden-Graph, if a delay of more than two.days is necessary beforeTlanting, the plants should be "heeled-in" in a shady locapon, Keep the plants wat— ered until they are finally set out. The Garden-IGraph shows an easy way to plant raspberries, providing the soil is in proper physical condi- tion, Th., plants. should be set two inches deeper than they were previ- ously placed. After planting, firm the- soil thoroughly around them and cut the canes back three, four or six inches above soil level. was Patsy and the scissors had been snipping at her hair too. The little girl was quite proud of herself. The pieces of the puzzle all fitted in to- gether. Patricia, Ann had been at the scis- sors again. The results were a ibit hard to take: When I started to laugh she started to 'cry, so we- had -to ex- plain gently but firmly that such things just can't be done indiscrimin- ately. For some time now we are go- ing to look. at bedraggled hair . . just because the little girl was experi- menting. and grown-ups who love Neilson's Jersey Milk Chocolate, will love Neilson's famous Chocolate Cocoa tool /iamb Yells 0 0:5 JERSEY DR/AN:11P- C C O A ,,,111111111011 Preserving time is almost here and we must begin to fill those shelves depleted by the -winter's meals.
