TIIE LEAVES GIVE THANKS. 
All the cheerful little leaves 
Were lying mute and slain, 
Their tender Summer faces 
Marred with age and pain. 
Through the thread-bare forest 
Strode the wind and rain. 
I wept because the sky was gray, 
Because the leaves were dead, 
Because the Winter came so fast, 
And Summer’s sweet was sped; 
And because I too was mortal— 
“All flesh is grass,” I said. 
But while I was lamenting 
The woods began to sing, 
The voice of all dead leaves came up 
As when they sang in Spring; 
“Praise God,” they sang, “for Winter 
And stormy harvesting: 
“Praise God, who uses old things 
To serve the new things’ need 
And turns us into earth again 
That next year’s roots may feed; 
Roots but for us and our decay 
Would shrivel in the seed. 
“To the thousand thousand Summers 
Our Summer has been thrust, 
But the snow is very gentle 
Above its rags and rust. 
Lie down, lie down, oh, brothers, 
With the thousand Summers’ dust.” 
—Georgia Wood Pangborn in Scribner’s 
Magazine.

When warming over baked beans, 
add a seasoning of catsup and made 
mustard; the result is very savory. 
* 
Buttermilk custard pie is rich in 
flavor, and very good: Cream two 
tablespoonfuls butter, one cupful sugar, 
yolks of four eggs; beat well and add 
one-half cupful of sifted flour, one pint 
of buttermilk in which has been stirred 
one-half teaspoonful of soda. Flavor 
with vanilla or nutmeg. Use as filling 
for two pies. Beat the whites of the 
four eggs with six tablespoonfuls of 
sugar, spread on top of pies after baked, 
and return to oven and brown slightly. 
* 
Grape conserve is made as follows: 
Remove the skins from five pounds of 
grapes. Cook the pulp till tender and 
press it through a sieve to remove the 
seeds. Add the skins of the grapes, the 
juice and minced rind of two large 
oranges, three-quarters of a pound of 
raisins or a scant pound, if preferred, a 
pound of chopped walnuts and as much 
sugar as there are grapes. Let the mix¬ 
ture boil till thick and put it into steril¬ 
ized glasses. Seal with paraffin when 
cold. 
* 
A washable knitting bag is made of 
Turkish toweling drawn up by oval 
rings. Coin spots are worked on the 
bag at regular intervals with colored 
embroidery cotton. The dots are worked 
round and round in chain stitch, or 
solid in French knots. Bags shaped 
ike old-fashioned purses are useful 
either for shopping or work. They are 
two feet long and 24 inches wide, the 
edges of the opening finished with a 
silk ruche, the ends finished by fringe 
or beads. A favorite material for fancy 
bags is broadcloth, embroidered in silk 
and crewels to resemble the Bulgarian 
work. 
* 
Black satin stocks, which have been' 
out of date for several seasons, are 
with us once more, and they are seen 
in a great variety of styles. A straight 
collar, or one made of folds of the ma¬ 
terial, may be trimmed with tabs, 
crossed loops, a four-in-hand tie, or 
merely buttons, or it may be finished 
with a flat pump bow. The little turn¬ 
over collars of lace or embroidery 
formerly seen on such stocks are not 
used now, though they may come in 
later. Some of the black satin stocks 
have a space of about two inches in 
front made of white lace, set in trans¬ 
parent, with a lace jabot below. Black 
satin collars, either high and rolling, 
or flat and round, are very much used 
with a white jabot. Sometimes the 
jabot consists of an inch-wide band of 
black satin, with a pleating of white 
or cream lace on each side, in length 
reaching to the waist. Similar jabots 
are made in shorter lengths, the pleat- 
material 36 in. wide, for medium size.

Air and sunlight are an important 
part of new treatment for burns and 
scalds. We used to think that such 
injuries should be closely covered, but 
the doctors practicing this new method 
use any simple emollient dressing (as 
sweet oil and lime water) and then 
leave the burn uncovered, with direc¬ 
tions to keep it as much as possible in 
the sunlight, and in a case under ob¬ 
servation the healing was described as 
marvelous in its rapidity. That old 
hymn about “letting the sunlight in” 
has a sound hygienic basis. We now 
realize that most dangerous’ bacteria 
cannot endure pure sunshine, and we 
find that the bacteria of gloom, oppres¬ 
sion and dishonesty cannot stand men¬ 
tal and moral sunlight either. 
German Hot Slaw. —Perhaps some 
of your readers would like my well- 
tried recipe for German hot slaw. 
Slice cabbage and cook about 10 
minutes, and then slice two sour apples, 
tablespoonful butter, salt and pepper to 
taste. Cook 10 minutes more. Lift 
from the stove and add two tablespoon¬ 
fuls vinegar. Serve at once.

Canned Beans Without Cooking.— 
Take as many green beans as you like 
and string and cut into small pieces; 
then wash them and put into jars and 
put in enough cold water to cover the 
beans. Then put a pinch of salt in 
every jar and seal tight. They do not 
need to be cooked, they will keep with¬ 
out. Seal jars as tight as possible so 
no air can get in. j. S.

Anty Drudge Advises Mrs. Oldstyle 
Mrs. Oldstyle—“The country looks so fresh and pretty, 
it makes me feel like throwing all my old things 
away, they look so dingy. But I guess I’ll have to 
try and be satisfied; my mother got along.” 
Anty Drudge —“Yes, indeed, your mother did get along; 
but that’s no reason why you should! There was 
nothing better for her to have, but you can use 
Fels-Naptha Soap. It will save your clothes and 
make them look fresher. It cleans and brightens 
everything.”

If you boil even a heavy piece of rope 
week after week and month after month, the 
rope may look clean; but it won’t be of any 
practical use. Why? Because the strength 
of the fiber has been boiled away. 
What woman wants to treat her delicate 
cotton, linen or woolen clothes this way? 
With Fels-Naptha Soap you do not have 
to boil the strength of your clothes away; 
you don’t have to rub them to pieces, either. 
Fels-Naptha Soap dissolves the dirt, and it 
does this in cool or lukewarm water. 
Grocers and general stores sell Fels-Naptha. Made in Philadelphia
