Mother-of-Four: '1 don't know how I ever find time to knit and crochet--but I Jove it so much that I manage to work at it every spare minute! 'Can you give me directions for a knitted, plain sacque for my baby eof eight months?" Answer: I cannot always hope to have just the fancywork directions which my readers desire, but I am glad to say that I happen to have those which you want: Infants' Knitted Sacque: Buy one ball of Iceland Wool and one pair of number three amber knitting needles. Cast on 60 stitches and knit 84 rows, or 42 ridges (over and back making one ridge). Now bind off 20 stitches; the shaping will come at this end of work. Knit the re- maining 40 stitches to end of needle, and knit back. ' Narrow one stitch each ridge for two ridges, then knit three ridges without narrowing, then widen one stitch each ridge for two ridges at arm size. Cast on' 20 stitches and knit 56 ridges; this com- pletes the entire width of back. Bind off 20 stitches at top and make other arm gize and front to match first side. Sew up 14 ridges of the back to the 14 ridges of front to form shoulder. Finish neck with a long crochet and chain of two between. Make chain of three and fasten down with a short crochet all around jacket and at meck. Sleeve: Cast on 40 stitches and knit 48 ridges and them bind off loosely. Knit up 44 stitches at bot- tom of sleeve for cuff and knit twe and purl two for 14 rows. Bind off loosely. B.E.G.: "Please tell me something about the care of ferns." Answer: I do not always attempt to answer questions on gardening or indoor plants, but I may be able to help you in regard to your potted ferns. Success with house ferns de- pends upon good drainage, adequate watering and regular feeding. In- sure the first by putting a one-inch layer of broken crockery in the bot- tom of the pot. As ferns root deep, the pot mus? be a deep one. Instead of watering from the top in the usual manner, set the fern pot in water deep #nough to come to within half an inch of the top and let it stay until enough water has heen absorb- ed to saturate the surface of the goil. Drain thoroughly and do not water again till the surface of soil is actu- ally dry. Spray the foliage once a week with tepid water applied with a plant syringe. Feed once a week with a solution of nitrate of soda (one teaspoon im a quart of water) using a cupful for a five-inch pot. Tomorrow--Requested Pickling Recipes.
