When lilacs laugh along the garden wall a ceiling that has been spoiled by ereo- 
Aud toss their purple plumes upon the sote running down around the chimney

I shall go home again, and leave behind 
The city's petty cares that bind and

Amid the elms as once they did ; I mind 
One used to swing his nest with lichens

From a tree near my dormer window

The Rural Patterns 
In ordering always give number of pattern 
and size desired, sending price with order 
More than half the value of America’s 
grain products is in the corn crop. 
The most delicious form in which 
corn was ever served is Post Toasties 
—those wonderfully crisp, golden- 
brown flakes of toasted corn. 
Just the right appetite appeal for 
breakfast; a crisp and delightful dish for 
lunch; a welcome answer to hunger 
when the children come in from play. 
Right from the package, always ready 
— and always delicious and satisfying. 
Back to pre-war prices, too. 
Post Toasties pay a rich reward of 
joy to everybody’s taste, for increasing 
the consumption of America’s great 
corn crop. 
Help the farm to prosperity, help the 
appetite to a treat—help yourself to Post 
Toasties today. 
When lilacs bloom I shall go home again 
To seek and find the things I loved of 
yore— 
A spire of iris lifted by the door. 
And grass dew-spangled as with drops of 
rain; 
For each pain balm, from every woe 
release, 
And in my heart a voice that whispers 
“Peace!”

One of our readers asks how to make 
an uncooked relish called “Chicago hot.’’ 
It contained ripe tomatoes, celery, pep¬ 
pers and apples, all chopped, but not 
cooked. We have never met with this, 
and should be glad to obtain the recipe 
for our inquirer.

When cleaning enamel paint it should 
be remembered that its surface is dulled 
by soap. It should first be nibbed with 
a woolen or cotton flannel cloth wrung 
out in warm water, and then with a clean, 
dry cloth. Spots or stains that do not 
yield to the warm water alone may be 
rubbed lightly with whiting, so as not 
to scratch the surface. Ordinary oil paint 
may bo washed with a fine suds, rinsed 
with clear water aud wiped dry, whiting 
being used as a fine scourer where it is 
very soiled. Never use soda or any strong 
cleanser on a painted surface. 
Water should rarely be used to cleanse 
oiled floors, which should bo dusted with 
a dry or oiled mop. When necessary to 
wash such a floor, it should be wiped 
afterwards with an oiled cloth. While a 
waxed floor may occasionally be cleaned 
with a cloth wrung out of warm, soapy 
water, it is better to use turpentine, just 
moistening the cleansing cloth with it. 
The turpentine brightens as well ns cleans 
the surface, whereas water dulls and 
whitens wax.

that hers is a “double-decker”—the top 
part being a tray on four legs, which can 
be lifted off. In my home there is a geod- 
sized room between m,v kitchen and din¬ 
ing-room, necessitating a great many 
steps. I clear the soiled dishes from my 
table to my cart and wheel them to the 
kitchen. They are set. back on the carl 
after washing and wiping, and wheeled to 
the table or cupboards. I place my en¬ 
tire meal from the stove on to said cart, 
and wheel it to the table. Also, I put 
my dessert on it. and have it. at my elbow 
ready to serve without rising. 
My cellar stairs are fur removed from 
my kitchen so anything like canned stuff 
I load on my cart and wheel to the head 
of the stairs. The freshly ironed clothes 
are piled on and wheeled to various dis¬ 
tributing points. My kitchen is small 
and lacks sufficient table room, aud this 
same cart helps out greatly in times of 
stress, like feeding thrashers. In hot 
weather we often have Slipper on our 
porch, so I arrange it all on the cart in 
the kitchen, wheel it out. and there is 
no need for any table. Any other out¬ 
door refreshments can be served the same 
way. 
You might not think of bathing a baby 
on it, but I have done that many times. 
I fold a big blanket and place on top. use 
the rods underneath to hold clean clothes, 
etc., and on cold days wheel it close to 
the register. The last use to which I 
have seen it put was today, when my 
young son called rne to see his “train." has dried out. 
The baby carriage was the engine, then remedied?
