HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS
Thread Needle This Way__ A l
ways thread the end of cotton
broken off the reel into the nee
dle, not the loose end, and it will
never knot. When using double
thread knot the two ends separate
ly—this prevents any tiresome
twisting and knotting.
• • •
Don't Burn the Cake.—Set an
alarm clock to go off at the time
when cakes, and roasts, are due
to be finished. It can be heard all
over the house and acts as a re
minder to the busy housewife
who, intent on another job, may
have forgotten the time.
• • •
Prune Salad.—Cook some large
prunes, one for each person. Stone
and stuff with cream cheese which
has been softened with a little
milk. Let the stuffed prunes set
for half an hour. Take one or two
large lettuce leaves and arrange
on each plate. Cut a slice of
orange on the round and place
on lettuce, and in the center of
orange place a stuffed prune.
Serve with mayonnaise dressing
• • •
Washing Walls.—When washing
dirty painted walls with soapy wa
ter containing a cleaning powder,
the job is made easier if a little
flour is added to the water to
make a paste. The paste will
hold the mixture to the wall long
enough for the powder to dissolve
the dirt.
• • •
Growing House Plants.—When
soil in which house plants are
potted becomes more like clay
than loam it may be lightened by
adding sand to it. Plants grow
best in this kind of soil.
• • •
Unrolling Tape. — Scoring the
sides of friction tape with an old
razor blade, or sharp pocket knife
will enable you to unroll it with
out tearing the edges.
• • •
Grouping Furniture.—Groupings
of furniture, including pictures
and lamps, should generally bal
ance each other in height, width
and effect of lightness or heavi
ness, housing experts say.

Luz thrust her head tn at the
door. "Do I send for Leonardo?"
" N o l” commanded Joyce. She
turned toward Don Jorge. “ Maxie,
if you and M r, Van Suttart don't
mind. I'd like to talk to Adan Ar

Promptly Don Jorge turned cere
monious. He rose, bowed, faced to
ward his own room, stumped
straight to the door, stood back to
force Dirk to pass, then entered
and closed it with emphasis.
"Let's get out of here," said
Adan. “ I remember a big shabby
room with a huge fireplace."
"That's where I meant to go when
we'd finished talking,” said Joyce.

Two hours later they came upon

ward they arrived at the rope
bridge, crossed it successfully and
headed for the hacienda's nearest
gate.
Not until the two strangers were
within a stone’s throw of the outer
wall did Joyce recognize the taller
of them and utter a cry.
Accompanied by D irk she dashed
down to the great court and with his
help opened the zaguan and then the
outer gate. She held out both hands,
her eyes shining with welcome.
"How on earth did you get here?
You haven't walked all the way
have you?”
Arnaldo had raised his hat. He
dropped it on the ground, took her
hands, gave her a gleaming smile,
nodded at Van Suttart, shrugged his
shoulders and pointed backward
with his chin. It was as though he
had spoken, told them in so many
words where, how and when his car
had been ditched.
“ So you changed your mind,” said
Dirk.
'Yes,” said Arnaldo. “ Something
happened to make me change my

‘What do you mean?” asked
Joyce. "W hat are you two talk

“ I asked Arnaldo to come with

She glanced through the inspired
account of the taking of La Bar

She crushed the paper in her fist,
started to throw it away, then
