Some Tested Recipes. 
Salad Dressing Without Oil.—Piece of 
butter the size of an egg. Heat in granite 
basin, add sifted flour till thick. Then add 
one cupful of milk. When smooth add 
one cupful vinegar; two eggs (beaten); 
salt, pepper, red or black, mustard, sea¬ 
soned as you wish; one tablespoon of 
sugar. Cook till thick. The addition of a 
half cupful of well-beaten sour or sweet 
cream will be found excellent. This dress¬ 
ing on potatoes, cucumbers, lettuce or 
beets makes a most palatable salad. The 
friend who gave this says it is a dress¬ 
ing that will keep for some time. She 
always keeps a jar of it on hand. The 
left-over dish of beets, peas or string 
beans is put in the potato salad for sup¬ 
per. 
Blackberry Jam Cake.—1)4 cupful su¬ 
gar; one-half cupful butter; four eggs; 
four tablespoonfuls of loppered milk; one 
small teaspoonful soda; two cupfuls flour; 
one teaspoonful cinnamon; one quarter 
cloves and nutmeg. Stir in one cupful of 
blackberry jam. Bake in layers. Put 
together with a white frosting. The wo¬ 
man who gave me this recipe says it is 
a cake that will keep for some time. 
Pressed Meat.—An excellent dish of 
cold meat is easily prepared from cold 
boiled beef. Put the meat through the 
food chopper. Add one quarter as many 
cracker crumbs, which have also been 
run through the grinder. Of course, one 
may use a greater or less amount if 
desired. Season with salt, pepper, and a 
hint of prepared mustard. Moisten with 
thickened giavy, left from dinner. Press 
in a square tin. By supper time, it will 
be pressed sufficiently to admit of being 
cut into neat slices. Another easily pre¬ 
pared dish is made as follows: Boil six 
eggs for ten minutes. When cold cut in 
pieces with a silver knife. Add to the 
eggs a small box of deviled ham. Mix 
thoroughly, press. The ham is too highly 
spiced to suit all tastes, but by adding 
the eggs it makes a dish that most will 
relish. This may be served alone or as 
a filling for sandwiches. 
Cornstarch Cake.—One cupful white su¬ 
gar; one-half cupful butter; one-half cup¬ 
ful milk; one-half cupful cornstarch; one 
cupful flour; 1)4 teaspoontul baking pow¬ 
der; whites of four eggs, beaten stiff. 
HELEN C. ANDREWS. 
Charity Sweetheart’s Letters 
It has been such a busy Autumn that I 
have not had time to write, for since 
I have waked up to it, and looked round 
for some way to earn a little independent 
pocket money, several things have come 
to me in that line. Mrs. Judkins, who 
is a Boston woman, and wife of one of 
the scientific men, came to ask me if I 
could make jelly of haws. It was certain 
kinds of our native hawthorns that pro¬ 
duced the best results, and she wanted a 
few pots for a luncheon she was going to 
have when she went back to Boston, and 
to present to some friends. I went to the 
pasture for the haws, and she brought 
me the sugar; I didn’t feel very sure, 
but it turned out a bright .red jelly, and 
she was well satisfied and paid me $5 for 
my work, which was clear gain. 
Then Mrs. Nelson, who had been in 
the mountains all Summer, had brought 
home such a fine pattern for a golf 
sweater, as she called it, and though there 
wasn’t any golf here she wanted two 
made for her daughters as a Christmas 
present, and asked me to do it. “For,” 
she said, “1 know you have lots of time, 
Charity.” But it was only by working 
early and late that I managed to accom¬ 
plish it. and then Minty grumbled that I 
used too much kerosene. As the pattern 
is such a good one, I will give it here: 
Lady’s cable-stitch golf sweater, made 
of one pound of Germantown yarn: One 
pair steel needles, No. 15; one pair rub 
ber needles. No. 4; cast on 72 stitches, 
knit 2, purl 2, alternately for band 1)4 
inch deep. Take rubber needles, purl 2, 
knit 2, pur] 2, knit 5; repeat to end of 
row; repeat for 10 rows; 11th row, purl 
2, knit 2, purl 2, slip 3 stitches on spare 
needle, increase by knitting the front and 
back of the next stitch, push the 3 
stitches forward, and knit; repeat to end 
of row; knit forward and back according 
to pattern for 10 more rows. 
23d row: Make cable twist as before, 
slipping 4 stitches and increasing on the 
next. 
24th : Knit and purl back according to 
pattern; knit 10 rows more. 
35th: Slip 4 stitches on spare needle 
and increase in next. 
36th: Knit and purl back. This brings 
the pattern up to required grouping. The 
cable has now 8 stitches which is to be 
kept up through the entire garment with 
cable twist at regular intervals. Make 
5 cable twists in length; then decrease 
as follows: 1st row of 6th twist, purl 1, 
knit 2 together, knit 1. Knit across until 
within 3 stitches of end, knit 2 together, 
purl 1. Repeat till 5 stitches are taken 
off each end; this ends the decreasing. 
Continue until the back is 8 cable twists 
in length; knit 23 stitches on each end, 
binding off the intervening stitches for 
neck. Knit the shoulder piece 1)4 cable. 
Then cast on 56 stitches for neck in front, 
complete cable and knit 4 more cable 
twists, then cast on I!) stitches for under 
arm, knit 5 more cable twists. Then knit 
from front till within 28 stitches; turn and 
knit back each time, leaving 4 more stitches 
on needle; repeat till there are 28 stitches 
left to knit toward the front cabling at 
regular intervals. Take steel needles at 
under arm seam, rib 2 and 2 for 2S 
stitches, rib 2 together 14 times, rib 3 to¬ 
gether 10 times, rib 4 together 3 times, 
rib the band 1)4 inch deep. 
For sleeve, pick up 90 stitches on rub¬ 
ber needles, knit 6 cable twists, narrow 
1 stitch on each end of needle as for 
back everj f 5th row. Continue narrow¬ 
ing till there are 64 stitches, knit 13 
cable twists. Take steel needles and rib 
cuff the desired length. For collar, 120 
stitches on steel needles the desired width, 
sew up, and face with ribbon. 
One was in dark crimson and the other 
in royal blue, and they certainly will make 
comfortable and handsome Christmas 
gifts. A good knitter can make one in 
10 days, but each one took me two weeks. 
That word Christmas calls up memories 
of the dear dead past before Father went 
away, and when I was something to some¬ 
body. 1 think that is the secret of many 
a lonely woman's dissatisfaction with life, 
the feeling that she is unimportant; the 
need of being “something to somebody.” 
And for those who have loved and lost 
the holidays are especially trying. How 
we enjoy them before trouble comes! But 
afterwards they are only the anniversaries 
of saddest memories. The children are 
already anticipating its joys, and I think 
the Christmas spirit, with most grown-up 
people is to make the children happy. So 
I listen to their talk of the things they 
hope Santa Claus will bring, and work 
away on Mamie Nelson’s golf waist with 
the knowled e that by so doing they can 
have their little wishes gratified. Cleve¬ 
land counted the days the other evening, 
and Grant wished “Santa would hurry,” 
but Sherman made a somersault on the 
kitchen floor and shouted: “Hurrah for 
old Santa Clans, but it isn’t time for him 
vet,” and, like half the pleasure in life, 
the best part is often in the anticipation. 
CHARITY SWEETHEART. 
HAD TO HIDE IT 
A mother wrote us recently 
that she had to keep Scott’s 
Emulsion under lock and key 
—her children used to drink 
it whenever her back was 
turned. Strange that children 
should like something' that is 
so good for them. It’s usu¬ 
ally the other way. Scott’s 
Emulsion makes children 
comfortable, makes them fat 
and rosv-cheeked. Perhaps 
that’s why they like it so 
much—they know it makes 
them feel good.
