September  2.  1916. 
R.  N.-Y.  ?  I  tried  several  recipes, 
liked  that  special  one  best  of  any. 
proof,  and  are  said  to  be  cooler  than  the 
ordinary  kind.  They  are  made  especially 
for  army  use  in  the  glare  and  sandstorms 
of  the  Southwest. 
“Fish  kettles”  are  oval  saucepans  hav¬ 
ing  a  rack  with  handles  that  can  be  lift¬ 
ed  out,  SO  as  to  remove  a  boiled  fish  and 
slide  it  onto  a  platter  without  risk  of 
breaking.  They  come  in  several  sizes  in 
agateware,  and  are  convenient  for  a  va¬ 
riety  of  uses.  The  fish  kettle  will  be 
found  desirable  for  boiling  asparagus. 
WOMAN  AND  HOME 
Use  2-rjt.  glass  cans.  Sterilize  cans, 
tops  and  lubbers  with  hot  water.  Pick 
grapes  from  stems,  wash  and  put  in  each 
can  one  pint  of  the  grape  berries  and 
one-half  pound  of  granulated  sugar. 
Then  fill  can  with  boiling  water  and  seal. 
If  larger  or  smaller  cans  are  used,  the 
same  proportions  are  followed.  There  is 
no  cooking  other  than  the  use  of  water 
th  it  is  really  boiling.  Store  cans  in  a 
cool  dark  place,  and  when  used  strain 
the  liquid  oT  the  grapes.  The  fruit  will 
be  hollow  a.  d  tasteless,  mere  shells,  and  Picture  to  yourself  an  old-fashioned 
double  log  house,  with  a  huge  rock  chim¬ 
ney  in  the  middle;  a  large  fireplace  with 
hooks,  cranes  and  a  wide  stone  hearth 
extending  across  one  end  of  the  kitchou ; 
dark  smoke-colored  joists  strung  with 
pepper,  beaus,  dried  pumpkins,  apples, 
sage,  and  other  old-fashioned  “ynrbs,”  A 
long  table  was  loaded  with  all  manner  of 
eatables,  from  the  large  roasted  bam  to 
the  big  punchbowl  filled  to  the  brim  with 
“float.”  There  was  the  Madison  cake, 
Albany  cake,  Boston  cake,  and  the  old- 
fashioned  pound  cake ;  chicken  pie, 
sliced  ham,  creamed  potatoes,  rice  mold¬ 
ed  in  fancy  shapes,  kisses,  meringued  ap¬ 
ples,  boiled  puddings,  marmalade,  jellies, 
preserves,  honey,  pickled  beets  and  cu¬ 
cumbers,  and  many  other  eatables  that 
have  slipped  my  memory ;  all  on  the  ta¬ 
ble  around  which  the  many  guests  were 
seated. 
I  can  see  the  whole  scene  yet.  The 
wedding  party  was  upstairs  in  what  they 
always  called  the  big  house.  The  friends 
and  relatives  were  grouped  around  the 
room  and  open  doors.  It  was  my  first 
sighr  of  such  a  scene.  Half  scared  I 
watched  them  descend  the  stairs,  walk 
out  in  the  center  of  the  floor,  and  stop, 
facing  (lie  crowd.  The  old  squire,  white- 
headed  and  a  bit  palsied,  read  over  the 
ceremony,  and  in  a  childish  way  I  puz¬ 
zled  my  head  many  days  over  it  all. 
Then  the  laughing  congratulation.-,  the 
quick  march  to  the  table  and  such  eat¬ 
ing  !  Myself  and  others  of  my  size  wan¬ 
dered  around  the  flower-docked  room 
where  the  wedding  took  place,  and  talked 
in  hushed  whispers  of  the  satin-clad 
bride  we  had  known  all  of  our  short  lives, 
and  wondered  if  her  dark-browed  hus¬ 
band  would  allow  us  any  share  of  her. 
and  I  think  in  a  childish  way  wo  almost 
bated  him.  Long  before  our  elders  fin- 
isheil  their  to  past  hunger  overcame  our 
timidity.  We  would  scamper  along  the 
porch  ami  peek  in  at  the  open  doorway : 
some  of  the  boys,  more  venturesome  than  I 
Up  the  Road 
“Friends  of  mine  along  the  wray, 
Whither  bound  this  windy  day?” 
“Join  us,  friend,  our  way  is  one, 
Up  the  road,  till  day  is  done; 
“Up  the  road  toward  light  of  home 
Shining  far  for  all  who  roam. 
Shining  for  us.  brothers  all. 
Lest  we  falter,  lest  we  fall ; 
“Up  the  road,  with  words  of  cheer 
Fit  to  banish  every  fear. 
Helpful  deeds  and  kindly  smiles. 
Easing  so  the  wind-swept  miles. 
“Up  the  road  we  brothers  all ! 
Brave  to  answer  every  call ; 
Up  the  road  till  day  is  done 
And  the  goal  at  last  is  won.” 
— Charles  S.  Newdiall  in  the  Survey. 
The  Rural  Patterns 
In  ordering  give  number  of  pat 
tern  and  size  desired.  Price  of 
each  pattern  10  cents. 
No  More  Chilly  Rooms 
The  Stewart  Simple  Heating  Plant 
makes  the  whole  house  cozy.  No  more 
room  stoves,  with  ashes  on  the  floor. 
No  wall  pipes  needed.  Economical  to 
buy,  to  put  in,  to  run.  Everlastingly 
comfortable.  You  surely  want  toknow 
all  about  it.  Write, 
As  a  variation  in  cake  making,  make 
gingerbread  according  to  your  favorite 
recipe,  bake  in  layer  cake  tins,  and  then 
put  together  with  marshmallow  filling. 
It  is  extra  good.  The  same  thing,  served 
fresh  from  the  oven  with  hot  chocolate 
sauce,  is  a  delicious  dissert. 
Here,  also,  is  a  kitchen  range  that 
really  bakes— saves  you  time,  labor, 
patience  and  fuel.  It  was  a  wonderful 
cooker  in  1832.  It  has  been  improved 
every  year  since.  An  ornament  to  your 
kitchen.  Write  for  full  information  on

We  wonder  how  many  busy  mothers 
have  found  time,  through  the  Hummer,  to 
give  occasional  reading  lessons  to  the 
little  children  just  started  at  school.  It 
is  quite  easy  for  the  beginner  to  forget 
what  he  has  learned  during  the  Hummer, 
unless  some  effort  is  made  to  keep  it  in 
inind,  and  the  beginning  of  school  means 
starting  again  to  memorize  forgotten 
things  that  should  have  been  retained. 
There  is  much  that  the  home  can  do  to 
render  the  school  efficient. 
Beep  a  la  paysanne  is  a  very  savory 
stew,  cooked  in  the  oven.  The  propor¬ 
tions  are  one  pound  of  beef,  one  large 
onion,  one  ounce  of  flour,  two  tablespoou- 
fuls  of  salad  oil  (or  one  tablcspoonful  of 
butter)  one  tomato,  one  cupful  of  stock 
or  gravy  aud  seasoning  to  taste.  Heat 
the  oil,  or  butter,  if  the  latter  is  pre¬ 
ferred,  in  an  iron  pan,  then  add  the 
meat,  cut  into  cubes,  aud  the  onion  sliced. 
Fry  until  brown,  then  stir  in  the  flour 
very  gradually,  letting  that  brown.  Add 
the  stock,  and  let  it  boil  up.  stirring  fre¬ 
quently,  and  the  tomato,  cut  up,  then 
put  in  a  covered  casserole,  and  cook  in 
a  steady  oven  for  three  or  four  hours. 
This  recipe,  which  is  a  good  one  for  the 
fireless  cooker,  is  a  savory  way  of  using 
the  coarser  cuts  of  beef.
