them, if you aren't satisfied.
If you don’t like a book,
return it.
One reason .so many of
these books are sold by mail
is that you wouldn’t buy
them if you did examine
them first. The manufac
turer gambles on the fact
that you won’t go to the
bother of returning the book.
If you need a reference, try a
bookstore first and -
thoroughly examine the book
to see if it is right for your
needs.
When evaluating the worth
of a book, look for a
description of the author’s
credentials. This may not
mean a thing, but if there is
no reference to the author,
you have a right to wonder
why.
You may be better off to
invest your time and money
in a good sewing class in
stead of a book, points out
Mrs. Wilson. Once you learn
the basic techniques you can
get most of the additional
help you need from the
pattern instructions. Also
use your common sense and
creative instinct and you
may come up with solution to
particular problems that are
better than those in any
reference book.
If the brown-baggers in
your family are tired of cold
sandwiches and potato chips
for lunch every day, why not
tempt their appetites by
packing variety into the
lunch bags.
During cold weather, add
variety to sack lunches by
packing hot dishes. This may
mean investing in a wide
mouthed thermos, but the
benefits will be worth the
cost.
The food won’t be eaten for
four or five hours, so take
precautions to keep food hot.
Heat the inside of the
thermos first with hot water.
Be sure the food you pack is
boiling hot. Then once the
food is in the thermos,
quickly close the lid.

Soup is a good dish for
active children and adults.
Add sandwiches, an apple,
banana or orange to satisfy
their hunger. Pack favorite
hot dishes, such as chili,
baked beans, or chunky
homemade soup or stew. Put
sloppy joe meat mixture or
hot dogs in the thermos and
wrap the bun separately. Fix
Spanish rice or send along a
serving of a special
casserole. Well-seasoned
vegetables and juices such
as tomato juice, served hot,
will taste good on cold days.
You can heat up these
foods while breakfast is
cooking. Then the brown
baggers in your family will
have a piping hot dish for
