From Day to Day. 
THE SECRET OF THE SAINTS. 
To play through life a perfect part, 
Unnoticed and unknown, 
To seek no rest In any heart 
But only God’s alone; 
In little things to have no will, 
To own no share in great. 
To find the labor ready still, 
And for the crown to wait. 
Upon the brow to bear no trace 
Of more than common care, 
To write no secret on the face 
For men to read it there; 
The daily cross to clasp and bless 
With such familiar zeal 
As hides from all that not the less 
Its daily weight you feel. 
In toils that praise will never pay 
To see your life go past, 
To meet, in every coming day, 
Twin sister of the last; 
To hear of high, heroic things 
And yield them reverence due, 
Yet feel life’s daily offerings 
Are far more fit for you. 
To woo no subtle, soft disguise 
To which self-love is prone, 
Unnoticed in all other eyes, 
Unworthy in your own, 
To yield with such a happy art 
That no one thinks' you care, 
And say to your poor, bleeding heart, 
“How little you can bear!” 
Oh, ’tis a pathway hard to choose, 
A burden hard to bear. 
For human pride would fain refuse 
The nameless trials there; 
But since we know the gate is low 
That leads to heavenly bliss, 
What higher grace could God bestow 
Than such a life as this!

If you have a row of lettuce that is 
“bolting” or going to seed cut the seed 
stalks while they are 'still young and 
tender, strip off any leaves, tie in bun¬ 
dles and boil like asparagus. Serve 
with a white sauce. They are very 
nice.

A woman who feels she does not look 
well in white or very light colors will 
often find the flat effect relieved by a 
touch of black, as in belt and necktie, 
especially if a black hat is worn. Black 
velvet or -satin are very effective with a_ 
white gown, but black taffeta or other 
dull black ribbon gives a mourning ef¬ 
fect.

September 4, 
Spanish gingerette is a very nice 
Summer drink. It requires three ounces 
of ginger root, juice and pulp of six 
lemons, one ounce cream of tartar, three 
to four pounds sugar, two gallons water, 
half cake of yeast. Put cream of tartar 
and ginger (crushed) in four quarts 
water; boil ten minutes; add sugar, 
lemons and remaining four quarts 
water. Cover and let stand until luke¬ 
warm, then add yeast dissolved in a lit¬ 
tle cool water. Mix well, allow to set¬ 
tle, strain through flannel bag and bot¬ 
tle; cork tightly. Let stand in warm 
room five or six hours, then put in cool 
place.

The new superintendent of Chicago 
schools, Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, is the 
first woman to hold this position, which 
was filled by Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews 
after his retirement as president of 
Brown University, and by other eminent 
educators. Mrs. Young has been princi¬ 
pal of the Chicago Normal School since 
1905, and is a widely-known educator. 
She is a widow, 64 years old, and has 
been teaching since 1862. She was dis¬ 
trict superintendent of schools for Chi¬ 
cago from 1887 to 1899, and professor 
of education at the University of Chi¬ 
sago from 1899 to 1905. She is the au¬ 
thor of several books on educational 
subjects. Mrs. Young acted some time 
ago as assistant superintendent of 
schools, and the present appointment re¬ 
sults from the efficiency then displayed.

One of the painful predictions of thj 
coming Winter is that women will wear 
monumental hats 18 inches high in place 
of the Summer peach baskets, a model 
suggesting a grenadier’s shako. These 
toques will fit the head snugly and do 
away with the spreading coiffure of ad¬ 
ventitious puffs and curls. Such hats, 
made of fur and decorated with tower¬ 
ing feathers, will have a somewhat fero 
cious Cossack effect, but they followed 
wide-spreading brims and scanty gowns 
a century ago, so perhaps history will 
repeat itself. The prediction that to 
wear these hats it will be necessary to 
comb the hair up in a tight knot and se¬ 
cure it firmly on the top of the head, so 
as to provide anchorage, will be a blow 
to the dealers who have been getting 
rich on the sale of puffs, braids 
switches, pads, curls, and all the other 
materials used in the construction of 
fashionable heads. Perhaps we are go¬ 
ing back to the smooth, sleekly-brush 
ed heads of 25 years ago, a delight¬ 
ful thing for the woman who really has 
hair, growing thickly on her own head, 
but sufficiently trying for modern beau 
ties whose scanty chevelure is only of 
use to pin purchased hair to. 
More About Breadmaking. 
My husband and I are ardent admir 
ers of The R. N.-Y., and I find many 
helps in the paper, and also in the cook 
book, which was the first I had when I 
went housekeeping. I have just read on 
page 726, an article on our good friend, 
the starter for yeast, and u's it has been 
used in my family for ten years I ven¬ 
ture to disagree a little with A. E. F., 
in two points. First, I find that no mat¬ 
ter how cool I keep my starter, it will 
not respond readily (and often not at 
all if I do not set it twice a week or 
oftener. Second, if I should mix my 
bread according to the rule given by A. 
E. F., it would be more like griddle 
cakes than anything else I can think of, 
owing to flour used. I use a flour which 
takes up the liquid much more than 
many do, and the following rule makes 
delicious bread without a failure. It 
may seem rather stiff and dry after mix¬ 
ing, but never after baking: Starter 
and warm water, two pounds, three 
ounces; flour, three pounds, five ounces; 
three teaspoonfuls salt. This makes 
three medium-sized loaves, and should 
be stirred down and allowed to rise a 
second time before making up. I will 
add here a recipe used in the family for 
rolls, and the rolls are in great demand 
for church suppers, etc. One pint milk, 
one tablespoonful lard, one tablespoon¬ 
ful butter, two tablespoonfuls sugar; 
scald and cool; one teaspoonful salt, one 
egg, two cups starter (or one yeast 
cake) mix with flour, not quite as stiff 
as bread. Let it get very light and stir 
down three times. Roll out, cut round 
and fold. Let them rise again and 
bake in a good oven.

You Need Paint 
A good paint is one of the cheapest things you can buy, just as a poor 
paint is one of the most expensive. 
A good paint properly applied to your buildings not only preserves them 
from the weather but saves the necessity for repainting frequently. A poor 
paint not only fails to protect the buildings but must be renewed more often. 
The cost of painting is one-third paint and two-thirds labor. Therefore a good 
paint is a double saving just as a poor paint is a double loss. 
Sher win-WilliamsPaints 
are paints made by the largest manufacturers of paints in the world: They 
make a right quality product for every purpose. They can furnish the right 
paints for painting barns, out-buildings, houses and fences as well as wagons, 
buggies and agricultural implements. 
A coat or two of paint applied in time and in your spare time will prolong 
the life of each and every one of these things. 
There is a Sherwin-Williams dealer in your town who can tell you just the 
right Sherwin-Williams finish which will exactly meet the requirements you 
have in mind. Send for booklet “Paints and Varnishes for the Farm”—its free.
