From Day to Day. 
TIIE CURTAIN FALLS. 
Over the sorrow and over the bliss, 
Over the teardrop, over- the kiss, 
Over the crimes that blotted and blurred, 
Over the wound of the angry word, 
Over the deeds in weakness done, 
Over the battles lost and won. 
Now at the end of the flying year, 
Year that to-morrow will not be here, 
Over our freedom, over our thralls, 
In the dark and the midnight the curtain 
falls. 
Over the gain and over our loss, 
Over our crown and over our cross, 
Over the fret of our discontent, 
Over the ill that we never meant. 
Over the stars of our self-denial, 
Over the strength that conquered trial. 
Now in the end of the flying year, 
Year that to-morrow will not be here, 
Quietly final the prompter calls, 
Over it swiftly the curtain falls. 
Over the crowds and the solitudes, 
Over the shifting, hurrying moods, 
Over the hearths where bright flames leap, 
Over the cribs where the babies sleep. 
Over the clamor, over the strife, 
Over the pageantry of life, 
Now is the end of the flying year, 
Year that to-morrow will not be here, 
Swiftly and surely from starry walls, 
Silently downward the curtain falls.

Stuffed halibut steak will be liked as 
a change. To make the dressing re¬ 
quires two cups soft breadcrumbs, one 
tablespoonful powdered herbs, thyme 
and savory, salt and pepper, one small 
onion, one-fourth cup butter, and some 
hot water. Mix the crumbs, herbs and 
seasoning; melt the butter in a frying 
pan, chop the onion fine and fry for a 
minute in the melted butter, add butter 
and onion to the dressing, and stir in 
enough hot water to make it all moist. 
Select two slices of halibut of the 
same size, put dressing between and 
skewer together. Bake in 
oven for three-quarters of an hour, bast¬ 
ing with melted butter and turning the 
pan so as to brown nicely. This dress¬ 
ing may be used with any sort of fish.

An Ohio man who is extremely fond 
of waffles is credited with the following 
statement: 
“I have a regular formula for eat¬ 
ing waffles,” he said to a friend, “and 
I recommend it to everyone. You eat 
the first 14 waffles without syrup, but 
with lots of butter. Then you put 
bag can raise bees, and sell honey; at 20 
cost cents a pound it pays. Bees will not 
sting those who know and love them. 
She can raise small fruit, and sell those; 
she can have an incubator and raise 
chickens and sell them at $8 a hundred 
when first hatched. She can make her 
own brooder of a box lined with sheep 
skin, and we know from experience 
chickens raised this way are stronger 
and more vigorous than those raised 
the old way by setting eggs under hens. 
If a girl’s home is situated where auto¬ 
mobiles pass, she can serve lunches to 
the people in them. A table under the 
trees in Summer and in a warm cozy 
room in Winter will always pay. Sand¬ 
wiches of different kinds, cakes, tea and 
milk will do at first. When established 
more elaborate lunches could be served

syrup. Eaten that way waffles never 
hurt anybody.” 
Without endorsing his system, the 
following recipe for rice waffles will be 
found delicious for experimenting with: 
One and one-half cups cold boiled rice, 
one and one-half pints of flour, one cup 
thin sour cream, one tablespoonful 
sugar, one teaspoonful soda, a teaspoon¬ 
ful of salt, and three eggs. Beat eggs 
and sugar together and add to the rice 
and salt. Stir the soda into the cream 
and add to the first mixture, then stir in 
the flour. Beat to a batter, thin enough 
to pour, and bake in hot, buttered waffle 
irons. 
telephone. Absolute cleanliness and 
daintiness go far to please, and must 
be observed in order to succeed. These 
are only a few things a girl can do to 
earn money at home.

Rabbit Recipes. 
Barbecued Rabbit.—Wash a nice 
young rabbit carefully; lay it in salt 
water half an hour. Place it in a 
broiler, cook quickly, basting with but¬ 
ter two or three times to keep from get¬ 
ting dry. When tender and ,nicely 
browned place it in a pan, season with 
butter, pepper and salt; set it in the 
oven, let it remain for 10 minutes, turn¬ 
ing it constantly that it may soak up 
the dressing. Heat thoroughly two 
tablespoonfuls of vinegar or tomato 
catsup and one teaspoonful of made 
mustard; pour it over the rabbit, baste 
well, let it stand a moment. Serve hot.

Centerpieces of linen with an elab¬ 
orate design in rice braid are still very 
popular, some of the more elaborate be¬ 
ing worked with French knots at the 
center of flowers or forming ribs in 
leaves. This work can be done by one 
not expert in embroidery, and is very 
effective. On white linen the decoration 
is all white, and this is preferred at 
present in embroidery 'also. Among 
knitted and crocheted fancy work the 
round motor toques now so fashionable 
are very popular; they are made of 
heavy wool, the cap and the turned-up 
brim being of contrasting colors. One 
of the big New York stores gives free 
instructions in making them, and it is 
quite amusing to see the women first 
buying the wool, and then crowding 
around the instructor for lessons. 
Motor scarfs for men are also very 
fashionable fancy work; they are 
knitted of silk, and are 10 inches wide 
and V /2 yard long, but they are not at 
all cheap, as it takes a lot of silk to 
make one.

Small white porcelain beads applied 
on black material are extremely start¬ 
ling, but very stylish. A great many 
trimmings are made of them, and over¬ 
blouses of black chiffon or marquisette 
are decorated with them arranged in 
bands or patterns, or scattered as thickly 
as if shaken out of a pepperbox. Some¬ 
times these white beads are combined 
with jet or silver. It is a long time 
since porcelain beads have been used as 
a fashionable trimming. Black and white 
effects are very much used, a touch of 
scarlet being often used with the two 
in millinery. Colored porcelain beads 
in pale shades make very handsome 
trimmings. For the most part they are 
just such beads as are used in the old- 
consequently married much earlier than 
she should, and regretted it after, as she 
was really unformed in mind and body, 
neither of which had attained its full 
growth. Cumbered thus early with the 
care of a family, and unaccustomed toil, 
what wonder she grew old long before 
her time, and obtained the name of be¬ 
ing weazened, and sharp, and shrewish? 
Time has changed that. A girl now can 
be self-respecting, self-supporting until 
she arrives at a suitable age to assume 
the cares of a family, and what is of 
far more consequence, choose a husband 
she can love and respect. Under such 
circumstances, proper family relations 
will be established and in time divorces 
will be almost unknown. 
It was a common thing some years 
ago for parents to do what was called 
“binding out” their daughters to some 
worthy couple who had no children, 
letting them remain until they were 18 
years of age, working for their board 
and clothes, and the latter were very 
few. At the end of their apprentice¬ 
ship they received $50 in money and 
a feather bed, and a pair of “good” 
shoes. They had worked hard, learned 
to cook, wash, iron and scrub, and were 
therefore fit to marry, and usually did 
very soon, and the same weary round 
was repeated—work and more work— 
large families, little money, early graves. 
The many deserted farms are proof of 
the mistaken way in which children 
have been reared. To them is usually 
given the care of chickens, cows and 
pigs, but rarely the price of one was 
ever given them for their own; there¬ 
fore as soon as possible they left home 
to earn money they could call their 
own. Fathers and mothers are slowly 
learning, agricultural schools and col¬ 
leges have been of benefit, people are 
learning about the ground they tilled so 
ignorantly for years. They are learn¬ 
ing if they would keep their children 
at home it must be made worth while. 
And what can they do to earn money
