BEEN KNOWN TO EAT CLOTHING When clothes are taken and are found to be "moth-eaten," people often find moths among the garments. However, nobody ever saw a moth eating the clothes. Moths have no teeth and usually do not eat anything during their lifetime. It is the larval form which eats clothes. Moths lay eggs among clothes, and the eggs hatch into the larvae (worms) which feed upon'the qloth. Finally the larvae grow fat and spin cocoonis in which they sleep and become changed into moths. j QABBY QERTIE "Occasionally a man insists on loving a girl who gives him a pain in the neck." my GN(eighbor . * ^ Says: r T Before setting a hot sauce away to cool, place bits of butter to melt over the surface to prevent a film forming on top of sauce. • • • Celery washed and put in ice-cold water, drained and filled with cream cheese, and a little crab-apple jelly, is very hice and a little' different. • • * To give pie crust a rich brown glace mix one egg yolk with one teaspoonful of cold water.
