WOMAN  AND  HOME 
From  Day  to  Day 
The  Flag  Goes  By 
Hats  off ! 
Along  the  street  there  comes 
A  blare  of  bugles,  a  ruffle  of  drums. 
A  flash  of  color  beneath  the  sky  : 
Ilats  off! 
The  flag  is  passing  by ! 
Blue  and  crimson  and  white  it  shines, 
Over  the  steel-tipped  ordered  lines, 
lints  off ! 
The  colors  before  us  fly; 
But  more  than  the  flag  is  passing  by : 
Sea  fights  and  land  fights,  grim  and  great, 
Fought  to  make  and  to  save  the  state; 
'Weary  marches  and  sinking  ships; 
Cheers  of  victory  on  dying  lips; 
•Days  of  plenty  and  years  of  peace; 
March  of  a  strong  land’s  swift  increase; 
Equal  justice,  right  and  law, 
Stately  honor  and  reverend  awe; 
Sign  of  a  nation,  great  and  strong, 
To  ward  her  people  from  foreign  wrong; 
Pride  and  glory  and  honor — all 
Live  in  the  colors  to  stand  or  fall.

Colorado  Notes 
Not  long  since  I  was  in  our  county 
town.  It  was  Saturday  and  the  streets 
and  shops  were  full  of  people.  Scores  of 
automobiles  were  parked  in  the  center  of 
the  main  street,  far  more  cars  than  horses. 
The  worst  crop  season  in  many  years 
does  not  seem  to  affect  the  sale  of  cars, 
but  pay-day  will  come  some  time,  and 
the  effect  will  he  seen  sooner  or  later.  I 
rested  in  one  of  the  banks  for  some  time, 
waiting  for  the  neighbor  in  whose  eiur  I 
came.  The  bits  of  conversation  heard 
from  the  constant  stream  of  men  and 
women  who  came  in  to  cash  checks  was 
interesting  and  often  amusing.  I  was 
surprised  at  the  number  of  women  who 
came  for  checks  to  he  cashed,  all  were 
well  dressed,  some  showing  more  taste 
and  refinement  in  their  clothing  than 
others.  "Dear  me,  if  this  is  not  a  sur¬ 
prise  to  see  you  here!  1  low  are  your 
crops?  Get  any  hail?  How  many  chick¬ 
ens  did  you  raise?  We  have  nothing 
left ;  hail  took  the  last,  no  garden  either ; 
don’t  know  how  we  will  got  through  the 
Winter;  everything  so  high,  and  they  say 
coal  will  he  higher  than  ever.” 
Another  farmer's  wife,  hearing  we 
were  to  return  to  New  York  State,  in¬ 
formed  several  to  whom  she  introduced 
me  that  "She  is  going  back  to  her  old 
home  country.  Don’t  I  wish  I  could  see 
the  East  once  more !  I  have  lived  here 
27  years  and  I  am  sick  for  a  sight  of 
trees,  orchards  and  Blue  grass.”  Later 
she  remarked :  "Yes,  we  have  made 
money  here,  but  it’s  cattle  that  have 
done  it,  and  free  range.  We  sold  $700 
worth  of  calves  this  Spring,  and  have  two 
or  three  carloads  of  fat  cattle,  but  money 
is  not  everything.  Not  but  what  it’s  a 
mighty  handy  thing  to  have.” 
It  was  interesting  to  me  to  see  the 
purchases  women  made.  It  seemed  every 
third  woman  had  a  bunch  of  celery;  fruits 
predominated;  apples,  three  pounds  for 
25  cents;  peaches,  15  cents  a  dozen;  two 
little  pears  for  five  cents ;  grapes,  45 
cents  a  basket ;  potatoes,  three  cents  a 
pound.  In  walking  a  block  on  the  busi¬ 
ness  streets  one  would  see  groups  of  farm 
women  talking.  In  fact  there  seemed  to 
be  two  women  to  one  man.  so  thick  they 
were.  One  party  came  30  miles.  "It 
doesn’t  take  long  to  come  now;  we  have  a 
car.  I  go  every  time  the  car  goes,” 
laughed  one  woman.  "Gee,  we  needed 
lots  of  things,  I  told  .Toe,  worse  than  a 
car,  but  he  and  the  children  wanted  a 
car,  and  they  ruled,  you  see.  We  took 
our  lunch  last  Sunday  and  went  to  ‘Cold 
Spring’;  never  vus  there  and  probably 
Ilats  off ! 
Along  the  street  there  comes 
A  blare  of  bugles,  a  ruffle  of  drums; 
And  loyal  hearts  are  beating  high: 
Ilats  off’! 
The  flag  is  passing  by !

Curtains  nr  other  draperies  stenciled 
in  oil  paints  may  be  washed  like  any 
other  colored  goods,  without  running,  and 
may  also  be  dyed.  The  stencil  pattern 
shows  through  the  dye,  sometimes  clearly, 
sometimes  with  a  shadow  effect,  accord¬ 
ing  to  the  depth  of  color  used.  Old  white 
cheesecloth  curtains  can  easily  be  dyed 
some  desired  color  that  cannot  be  pur¬ 
chased  in  these  cheap  materials.

The  New  York  State  Bureau  of  Em¬ 
ployment  says  there  is  an  exceeding 
shortage  of  domestic*  help;  wages  of  $8 
and  $10  a  week  fail  to  call  out  housework- 
el's.  This  condition  is  blamed,  like  our 
other  difficulties,  upon  the  European 
war;  immigrant  girls  do  not  need  to  seek 
work  here,  because  there  is  plenty  of  em¬ 
ployment  at  home.  The  wages  paid  gen¬ 
eral  houseworkers  in  suburban  towns 
near  New  York  are  about  equal  to  those 
of  a  good  hired  man  on  the  farm.

A  Lemon-raisin  pie,  as  given  by  the 
New  York  Tribune,  is  something  differ¬ 
ent.  Mix  to  a  paste  one  tablespoonful  of 
cornstarch  with  a  little  cold  water  and 
gradually  blend  with  a  cupful  of  boiling 
water  and  one  teacupful  of  powdered 
sugar  that  has  been  mixed  with  a  table- 
spoonful  of  butter.  Cook  over  hot  water 
for  a  few  minutes;  then  remove  from  the 
fire  and  add  one  lemon — juice  and  grated 
yellow  rind — one  well-beaten  egg  and  half 
a  cupful  of  seeded  raisins,  finely  chopped. 
Pour  into  a  deep  pie  plate  that  has  been 
lined  with  pastry,  lay  strips  of  the  crust 
in  lattice  fashion  over  the  top  and  hake 
in  a  moderately  hot  oven.  Serve  cold.

On  page  1345  Ida  M.  Jackson  refers 
to  persimmons  as  undesirable  when 
cooked,  but  possibly  suitable  to  serve 
with  a  pudding  if  uncooked.  The  fol¬ 
lowing  recipe  for  persimmon  pudding, 
given  in  the  Rural  Cook  Book,  was  sent 
us  years  ago  by  a  South  Carolina  reader, 
who  said  it  was  delicious  either  hot  or 
cold.  It  calls  for  one  quart  of  persim¬ 
mons  mashed  fine,  and  every  seed  re¬ 
moved.  Add  one  quart  of  sweet  milk, 
one  egg,  one  tablespoonful  of  butter,  one- 
half  teaspoouful  each  of  cinnamon,  nut¬ 
meg  and  ginger,  half  as  much  of  allspice 
and  cloves,  half  cupful  of  sugar.  Pour 
into  a  buttered  baking  dish,  and  bake 
until  set,  like  a  custard.  We  have  made 
persimmon  figs  by  sprinkling  the  fruit 
thickly  with  sugar  and  starting  the  dry¬ 
ing  in  a  cool  oven,  then  finishing  in  the 
sun,  but  the  fruit  was  quite  sticky.

Ukuleles,  the  national  musical  instru¬

and  up.  The  ukulele  is  in  shape  like  a 
small  guitar,  with  four  strings;  it  is  now 
extremely  popular,  being  brought  into 
favor  by  the  Hawaiian  music  introduced 
in  some  theatrical  performances.  In  ad¬ 
dition  to  the  modern  imitations  of  na¬ 
tive  music  many  ancient  folk  songs  and 
dances  of  the  Hawaiian  people  have  been 
written  in  musical  notation,  for  vocal  and 
instrumental  use,  the  ex-Queen  of 
Hawaii,  Liliuokalani,  being  much  inter¬ 
ested  in  thus  preserving  the  typical  music 
of  her  people.
