WOMAN AND HOME 
A Vermont Farm in Winter 
Now in our valley where the grass was 
green, 
And crimson berries hid, and earth was 
Warm, 
The wind runs whistling down white 
walls of snow, 
The farmhouse doors are shut against 
the storm. 
Sunlight and snow sift through the half- 
closed blinds, 
And frosty fretwork fills the window 
space: 
Around the fire old setter and old hound 
Claim as their privilege the warmest 
place. 
And all our sounds are these—a wise old 
clock, 
A pine log in the flame, the kitten’s 
purr, 
A drowsy kettle’s song, and on the walls 
Fingers of icy branches creep and stir. 
Spring will come flooding back in green 
and gold, 
Luring us far afield to work and play; 
But now our common need lias made us 
one. 
And old hearth gods of fire resume 
their sway. 
Chocolate Cookies 
The following is a good recipe for choc¬ 
olate cookies. It is best to use level 
measurements. Cream together one cup 
sugar and one-half cup butter or other 
shortening, add two well-beaten eggs, 
then one or one and one-half squares of 
bitter chocolate, melted, amount of choc¬ 
olate being varied <o suit one’s fancy. 
Sift the flour, about 214 cups, with a 
pincli of salt and two teaspoons of baking 
powder, adding, with ore-fourth cup milk,

A DESSERT—to be right—should not be a heavy 
course. It should be light and easy to digest, 
and at the same time, good. 
That is Jell-O. It rounds out a meal with a satis¬ 
fying sweet touch that appeals to every member of the 
family. A pleasant dessert makes the entire meal 
seem “special.” It is remembered for a long time. 
'What should we gam to leave our wintry 
hills 
For lands unscathed by biting wind 
and snow? 
Can they love warmth who have not con¬ 
quered cold? 
Can they feel ■Spring who never Win¬ 
ter know?

The earliest Spring flowers now come 
to greet us with the assurance that Win¬ 
ter is indeed over, and with the promise 
of further beauties yet to cocue. But un¬ 
fortunately few of us are satisfied with 
the beauty of flowers in their own haunts 
—we must gather them, and often in an 
unsparing and unfeeling way. Various 
societies and organizations have been 
formed for the protection and preserva¬ 
tion of wild flowers and plauts, and some 
of the States have given legal protection 
to various well-known plauts. Massa¬ 
chusetts is now endeavoring to save the 
Mayflower or trailing arbutus from total 
destruction, while in many sections 
such ferns as maidenhair, climbing fern 
and walking fern, are entirely gone. The 
automobile has, of course, hastened such 
destruction enormously. Farm owners 
suffer from this depredation, just as they 
do from the raiding of fields and orchards. 
They can, however, help greatly in pre- 
servin; ative plants that are not exposed 
to the highway. Remind the children 
that it is possible to gather flowers with 
care and moderation, so that the plants 
themselves are not injured, and that blos¬ 
soms are not picked selfishly to be thrown 
aside, but merely enough to give pleasure 
at home or school. Fragile blossoms that 
do not last should never be gathered, nor 
those of such rarity that, seeding and re¬ 
production is desirable. The plant should 
never be torn or injured, and scissors are 
a great help in this. We have no com¬ 
punctions in gathering violets, which re¬ 
produce so rapidly as to become a weed, 
but the shy orchids of swamp and woods 
should he loft alone, and we should be 
ashamed to gather an armful of tiger 
lilies. Why not arrange a plant sanctu¬ 
ary in some waste part of the farm, if 
such exists, where the rare plants of the 
district can grow without disturbance? 
The children would take pleasure in add¬ 
ing to their number, and they might even 
have the good fortune to save some van¬ 
ishing variety from entire destruction.
