Ask (he Old Farmer: I recently
came across some old terms that
you might be able to explain:
“homing room,” and “keeping
room.” What did they mean? R. D.,
Tampa, Fla.
The first one is a room where the
babies of the family were born, and
we have heard of old-fashioned
parlors called “keeping " rooms,
~ because they were kept for special
occasions, and because also, being unheated, the body of a
deceased member of the family was commonly kept there.
Home Hints: Rub a bit of butter inside the lid to keep the
caps of a jar of honey or syrup from sticking . . . Mount
inexpensive spice racks inside kitchen cupboards to store
pudding mixes and gelatins.
