Woman and the Home 
From Day to Day. 
WITH THANKFUL HEARTS. 
Father, we lift our thankful hearts to Thee 
With gratitude, for all Thy bounty free; 
For love, and friends, for home, for faith’s 
pure light. 
For health, for harvest store, for rest at 
night— 
For every blessing showered from above— 
Bestowed on us unstinted by Tby love 
And thoughtful care; O hear us, as we pray, 
Father in heaven, this Thanksgiving day. 
Watch over us, be Thou our stay and Guide. 
Thro’ day and night; guard us from sinful 
pride, 
For we are human, weak and prone to 
wrong, 
And by Thy grace alone are we made 
strong. 
Give us our daily bread, our wants supply, 
And touch our hearts that we may not deny 
The widow and the orphan of their share 
Of what we have—relieve their want and 
care. 
O grant that we may keep Thy law, and live 
A Christian life; our enemies forgive; 
That we may love our neighbor, work for 
peace. 
That so Thy glory may on earth increase. 
—Henry Coyle in the Pilot.

Burnt orange flavoring is recom¬ 
mended as very good. Grhte the rind of 
a deep yellow orange, avoiding the white 
skin, add two tablespoonfuls of granu¬ 
lated sugar, and cook the two together 
carefully in a little saucepan, stirring to 
avoid burning, until they form a rich 
reddish brown mixture. Then stir in 
two or three tablespoonfuls of water that 
is boiling hard. When the caramel is 
dissolved mix with it enough sifted 
powdered sugar to make a firm icing, or 
use it in flavoring candies.

The “tie-on” blouse is a new model 
which has no hooks or eyes, no buttons, 
pins or other fastening, and yet it can 
be put on in a minute and nicely ad¬ 
justed. It is built something like a 
kimono waist, but with set-in sleeves, 
the opening crossing diagonally in front. 
The fronts are prolonged into sash 
ends, which are brought around and 
tied at back, front or side, as desired. 
It can thus be wrapped around so as to 
fit perfectly, the ends tied in a smart bow 
as desired. The sleeves are elbow 
length, the neck finished with revers. 
In plaid silk this new blouse costs $5.50; 
in black or blue satin, solid color or with 
contrasting revers and cuffs, $6.75, and 
in shot silk $4.

We are often asked as to the reliabil¬ 
ity of the quacks who advertise various 
nostrums and treatments for the cure 
of alcoholism. The New York news¬ 
papers recently recorded the arrest of 
one of these men, Edward J Woods, 
who offers to cure the drink habit with¬ 
in a few days. He is the head of a 
company which advertises widely. After 
a trial in the Court of Special Sessions, 
Woods was fined $500, the maximum 
penalty for practicing medicine without 
a license. The New York County Med¬ 
ical Society prosecutes all sorts of 
quacks, securing evidence through an 
ingenious woman detective, who in this 
case paid Woods $10 for pills and pow¬ 
ders with which to treat a purely imag¬ 
inary alcoholic parent.

A school of horticulture for women 
has been opened at Ambler, Pa., follow¬ 
ing the lines of such schools already es¬ 
tablished in European countries. The 
school is located on a farm of 71 acres, 
already planted to apples, grapes, straw¬ 
berries and other fruits, asparagus, etc., 
while about 20 acres are devoted to gar¬ 
den crops, greenhouses and cold frames. 
The course for students is expected to 
cover at least two years of 12 months 
each, and it is planned to give plenty of 
practical work, as well as the theoretical 
instruction. Schools of this class have 
passed the experimental stage abroad; 
the R.UFLA.I> NEW-YORKER 
November 25, 
we see no reason why they should not 
be equally useful in this country, though 
the State colleges here provide horticul¬ 
tural instruction for women on a co¬ 
educational basis.

Since both Dr. Wiley and Mrs. Wil¬ 
liams, director of domestic science in 
the New York public schools, assure us 
that our food is the best in the world, 
and our cooking the worst, we feel some 
shyness in referring to the culinary tri¬ 
umphs that gladden so many homes on 
Thansksgiving Day. Jeers at national 
cooking are no new thing; it is many 
generations since some Spanish philos¬ 
opher (was it Sancho Panza?) observed 
that while Heaven sends victuals, its 
opposite sends the cooks. We think, 
however, that the farm home has more 
to feel thankful for in this direction 
than most others. To begin with, it is 
free from the fatal cold storage tur¬ 
key; its vegetables are of the best; 
butter, eggs and milk are procurable in 
their highest degree of excellence. Add¬ 
following a straight thread of the goods. 
Now stitch on the sewing machine an 
ordinary seam along, the raw edges, 
across the point and down the side. 
Turn right side out and the “ear” is com¬ 
plete. If the satin is whole under the 
crosspiece a space must of course be 
left along the side to allow' of turning. 
Place one pair upon the other with 
points apart as shown, add a piece of 
black, V /2 inch wide, velvet ribbon, and 
band the whole tightly together with a 
bit of folded satin. The velvet ribbon is 
merely cut with slant ends and measures 
4J4 inches from point to point. Sew to 
the back one of the pins made for such 
use, or fasten a small safety pin there 
and the necktie is complete. While elec¬ 
tric blue or a flaming scarlet are effective 
colors for a young girl’s necktie, a com¬ 
plexion that has seen its first freshness 
grow dim is better suited to such choice 
as a delicate lavender, old rose, or the 
softest shades of pink or blue.

ed to this is the fact that farm house¬ 
keepers really feel a pride in supplying 
well-cooked and attractive food—in “set¬ 
ting a good table.” The delicatessen 
store and grocery ate not called on for 
ready-cooked food that can be put be¬ 
fore the family without any exertion. 
Moreover, scientists agree with epicures 
that to be of the greatest benefit in re¬ 
pairing wastes or building up the sys¬ 
tem, food must not merely be nourish¬ 
ing ; it must give pleasure to the palate. 
We think this point receives a good deal 
of attention from rural housekeepers, 
while the interest they always show in 
new or improved methods proves that 
they are not content to stay in house¬ 
keeping ruts. In spite of the rapacious 
middleman, the self-seeking politician 
and the 35-cent dollar, the farm still 
has much to be grateful for this Thanks¬ 
giving Day, and chief among its bless¬ 
ings we put the farm cook—and may life 
deal gently with her! 
A Necktie Easily Made. 
“I had 14’ jabots for Christmas, but 
not one too many,” laughed a house¬ 
keeper last January, and added: “Those 
little things cost, at the shops, out of all 
proportion to their actual value, yet I 
have neither the skill nor the patience 
to make them for myself.” 
And her companion replied: “No one 
gave me so much as a tiny necktie, 
thinking, I suppose, that I was clever 
enough to make my own. But whenever 
I do attempt such work I always waste 
time and material in the effort to get 
them just right, for I can never remem¬ 
ber the exact proportions and size of 
those seen for sale.”

and by following the measurements here 
given, any girl can manufacture a pretty 
necktie at small cost of both time and 
material. The bow when finished should 
measure eight inches from tip to tip. In 
the -model soft faille satin, cut on the 
bias, was used with a touch of black 
velvet. A medium shade of old blue 
was selected, the black velvet contrasting 
prettily with it and affording the bit of 
black which is said to lend becomingness 
to anything worn near the face, be it 
hat, gown or collar finish. As the satin 
is used.double instead of being hemmed, 
cut a bias strip five inches wide that it 
may finish, when seamed and turned, a 
trifle over two inches. If it is more 
convenient to cut the four “donkey 
ears” separate they can be sewed to¬ 
gether where the crosspiece will cover 
the stitches. Fold the satin evenly with 
the right side in and shape to a point by

lies in the wide territory traversed by the Southern Ry. 
System. From the high lands of the Appalachians, with 
their dry, healthy climate, to the Piedmont section, with its 
heavy yielding lands, on to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, 
where every crop thrives —somewhere in this broad territory 
you tan find a place just suited to your needs and means. 
Land prices range from $15 to $50 per 
acre. The first year’s crop often more than returns 
the purchase price. 
All grasses, grains, fruits and vegetables known to the 
temperate zone thrive in the Southeast. Alfalfa grows 
nearly everywhere—4 to 6 tons per acre not uncom¬ 
mon—$ 15 to $22 per ton paid locally. Apple orchards 
net $100 to $500 an acre. Truck gardening yields 
$200 to $400 per acre—everything else in proportion. 
The Southeast is the farmer’s paradise.
