FROM THE MAILBAG

Sweetening a Musty Cupboard Dear Aunt Daisy, Somebody asked you about a mouldysmelling cupboard and how to sweeten it, Here is very charming way of

doing it. Any small orange will do. Boil an orange until it is tender, set it aside to cool. Then puncture a few holes at the top with a knitting needle. Into these holes pour some oil of lavender or oil of verbena, and close the hole up with a clove, pushing it right in up to the calyx. You cover the whole orange with cloves like this, sticking them close together so that the skin is hardly visible. You will find that it takes about 20z. cloves to do the job properly. When you have finished, sprinkle the ball with powdered cinnamon, and arrange a ribbon round it, and hang it up. You need not necessarily use the oil of lavender or verbena, as the orange is delightfully scented with just the cloves and cinnamon. Resourceful Listener.
