WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
My Treasure Chest 
I’ve gathered up thoqp dearer things 
With which 1 would not part. 
And laid them carefully away— 
Yet Close beside my heart: 
Those things on which Time has no lien, 
The things 1 love the best. 
The priceless things more dear than ute 
These are my treasure elicst. 
My confidence in fellow man 
And my belief in God: 
The heritage of m.v old home 
Deep rooted iu the sod; 
My rosary of sorrow, 
My beatitude of tears; 
The glory of my mother’s love 
Still shining through the years; ■ 
The fullness of the Summer noon. 
The o’er flowing harvest horn. 
The whiteness of a Winter night, . 
The flowers of April's morn ; 
The soul that lurks within a song, 
The faith within a child, 
The beauty that all nature holds 
For one who loves the wild. 
Mere wisdom never can replace 
Illusions fair of youth. 
And yet these things I’ve hoarded up 
And wrapped about with Truth 
Are recompense for all the days; 
Thev’ll stand the final test 
Of fhe fit and the eternal 
Deep within my treasure chest.

The United States Department of Ag¬ 
riculture has issued through the Office of 
Extension Work Department Circular 
207, “The Paper Dress Form." It is 
fully illustrated, and gives in detail the 
method of making these forms. Many 
women have learned to make these forms 
under the direction of the domestic science 
extension courses, but these not so fortu¬ 
nate will find the bulletin very helpful, 
as its directions are clear, and the pic¬ 
tures make the process very plain.

“Two-iiour marmalade” is a simple 
recipe that gives fine results. It calls for 
one orange.' one lemon and one grapefruit. 
Remove seeds, and run pulp and peel 
through a food chopper. Add to the fruit 
12 cups of water and 12 cups of sugar. 
Put on to cook at 10100 . and let it boil, 
with frequent stirrings until it is done, 
then add the juice of one lemont and one 
cup of sugar. Let it heat up, and put 
in glasses. It is of fine flavor and' jelly- 
like texture, and it is less trouble than 
letting the fruit stand over night, as 
usually done.

A usefui. and suggestive hook is A 
Manual of Manners." by Lucy L, AY. AVd- 
son. principal of the South Philadelphia 
High School for Girls. Most books on 
this subject, aimed at the rising genera¬ 
tion. are so exasperating in their superior 
didactic attitude that young people are 
antagonized, but Mrs. Wilson presents 
her subject very happily, and tolls the 
“why” of good manners in a convincing 
way. We are Often irritated by the slip¬ 
shod manners, often degenerating into 
boorish rudeness, of many young people. 
These are not only those who come from 
uneducated families, hut oftpri boys and 
girls whose home surroundings are su¬ 
perior. Selfishness, lack of imagination 
and a naturally coarse fiber are all at 
fault, hut. undoubtedly public manners 
have been greatly vulgarized by some un¬ 
desirable classes among our foreign im¬ 
migrants. Our thoughtful rural homes 
have an opportunity to train in those 
good manners that come from mind and 
heart, and to furnish the leaven that will 
raise national standards. 
Tennessee Notes 
I see that the consolidated schools ave 
yet coming up for discussion, and. no 
doubt, are many times discussed—with the 
“dis” omitted. In our own case it was 
consolidation. With no conveyance, my 
own children have not been to school a 
dav for over a year. The last school fin 
another county) to which they had for¬ 
merly gone by walking six miles a day. 
has been moved farther on. So far as I 
have been able to learn frnpi every con 
solidated school in this county, from ‘20 
to HO children have been deprived of school 
facilities because no conveyances are fur¬ 
nished, and. if there had been, the mads 
ill many places are ofttimes impassable. 
So the facts remain that it is those who 
have access to the consolidated schools 
who praise them, and those whose chil¬ 
dren must grow up iu ignorance who 
oppose them.

J ELL-O for children! Children know what pleases 
them and they enjoy pretty desserts that taste good 
just as much as the grewn-ups do. 
It is a real boon to a busy mother to End a des¬ 
sert that her children like and ask for and which she 
knoAA^s is good for them. That is why Jell-O is such a 
great family dish,—they all like it.

To those who are interested in the 
tufted bedspreads, no doubt you can ob¬ 
tain mill-ends from your nearest cloth mills 
to tuft with. The hardest thing to find 
is the large-eyed darners, but Lee took a 
sack needle, filed ofT the end. anti dressed 
down with sandpaper. It works fine. 
At the present I am tufting one in blue, 
but for mv own use I prefer the white 
thread. The stitch is just a running 
stitch, long on top and short on the bot¬ 
tom. 
The past few days have registered

will be better than none.
