If Mrs. .1. F. K, will cover the creosote

WOMAN AND HOME 
Once in This Place 
Once, in this place, where these twin 
willows look 
Like little bright princesses every 
Spring, 
A tall thin lad would come along the 
brook 
And throw a stone, and make a shining 
ting. 
The Rural Patterns 
In ordering always give number of pattern 
and size desired, sending price with order 
Or he would watch small fishes lift their 
lips 
To take sweet mouthfuls of the upper 
air ; 
Or with his fingers twine long rushy 
Whips 
And whistle this and that, and have no 
care. 
But now he comes no more. Ah! has he 
known 
In all his proud proceedings such sure 
ease 
As when he walked light hearted and 
alone 
Once, in this place, under these willow 
trees?

Have any of our readers tried keeping 
sweet corn on the cob in brine? One 
reader would like to pack it. in quantity, 
like pickles, in barrels; others wish t<> 
store it in crocks. We can only advise 
personal test, but we are not hopeful of 
results. Pickling in this way would .be 
easy, hut we do not think desirable flavor 
would be retained. Many housekeepers 
salt sweet corn cut from the cob, and 
consider it less troublesome than can¬ 
ning. 
B EYOND the wonderful charm of flavor 
and crispness in these superior com 
flakes, there’s a quality for which the ap¬ 
petite always seeks again—

One of the fashionable metals for jew¬ 
elry, optical goods and various novelties 
is “white gold.” This is an alloy of gold 
with platinum and other metals which 
gives a white metal with a warmer tone 
than the grayish effect of silver. Many 
of the women’s wrist watches are white 
gold. As a setting it is more expensive 
than silver.

One of our old friends from New Eng¬ 
land, visiting in New York recently, saw 
for the first time a group of young wom¬ 
en campers on their way for a hike in 
the Interstate Park across the Hudson 
River. They all wore khaki shirts and 
breeches and, as our friend observed, 
with strong disapproval, there was not 
a skirt among them. >Y\ r e pointed out. to 
our friend that ever since Catherine do 
Medici invented the corset (she died in 
1589, and was credited with tight-lacing 
her sons as well as her daughters), re¬ 
formers have been urging women to ab¬ 
stain from wearing this restraining gar¬ 
ment, while volumes have been written 
against trailing or balloon-like skirts. 
Now the reformers are worrying because 
women are at last taking their advice. 
We do not think it good taste to go about 
the city wearing garments only suited 
for the wilderness trail, especially when 
accompanied by loud and swaggering de¬ 
meanor. but young women who do these 
things would make themselves conspicu¬ 
ous in any sort of clothes. The fact re¬ 
mains that at (he present time, if a 
woman wears foolish or uncomfortable 
clothes it results from her own desire, for 
no one need be foolishly dressed because 
fashion demands it.

If one has plenty of bottled fruit juice 
it is easy to make delicious Summer 
drinks. In the absence of such juice one 
can make such beverages from tart fruit 
jelly. Melt a glass of raspberry, currant 
or plum jelly in a saucepan or bowl over 
the fire, stir in three times (he amount of 
warm water, and then set away to get 
cold. Fill glasses half full of crushed 
ice, then pour the syrup over the ice, fill¬ 
ing the glasses. This “frappe” is espe¬ 
cially good made with combined currant 
and raspberry jelly.
