WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
Between Midnight and Morning 
You that have faith to look with fearless 
eyes 
Heyond the tragedy of a world at strife, 
And trust that out of night and death 
shall rise 
The dawn of ampler life; 
llejoice, whatever anguish rend your 
heart, 
That God has given you, for a priceless 
dower. 
To live in these great times and have your 
part 
In Freedom’s downing hour; 
That you may tell jmur sons who see the 
light 
High in the heaven, their heritage to 
take: 
“I saw the powei’S of darkness put to 
flight 
I saw the morning break.” 
—Author T’nknov. n.

The New London County Improvement 
Association recently held a corn show in 
connection with its anual meeting at Nor- 
Av’.ch, f’onn. One housekeeper, Aliss 
Mabel TIagberg, received fii*st prize for an 
(■xhihit of 15 food products, all of them 
being described b.v the judge, IMiss Maude 
K. IIay(*s of Storrs, as most palatable. A 
list of these foods follows: 
1. Tthode Island johnnycake. 
2. Baked coimcake. 
.‘1. Baked johnnycake. 
4. Corn fritters.

8. Cornmeal gingerbread. 
0. Boston brown bread. 
10. fiorn relish.

.Tavetxe water, often used in the laun¬ 
dry as a cleansing fluid, may be made as 
follows: Add one pound of sal-soda and 
one-fourth pound of chloride of lime to 
two quarts of boiling water. I.et the in¬ 
gredients dis.solve as much as they will, 
then let the liiiuid cool and settle. I’our 
off the clea:’ lifiuid without stirring up the 
.sediment, bottle, cork tightly, and mark 
the contents pliiinly on the bottle. The 
dr(>gs can be used to clean waste pipes, 
'While this is excellent for taking out 
spots it must be used carefully, or the 
fabrics will be injured by it. A stain in.iv 
be taken out of table linen by stretching 
it over a plate, and scrubbing with a 
tooth brush dipped in .Tavelle water. 
'When the stain is removed the place 
.should be rinsed with water containing 
a little ammonia, to avoid risk of injury 
to the fabric.

A new idea is the “Sunday at Home” 
li.st of hymns. This consists of familiar 
hymns, words and music, attractively 
printed on separate card.s, size 0x9 inch¬ 
es.. They are thus easily arranged on 
the music rack, a fact that will be ap¬ 
preciated by one who ha.s tried to play 
from a thick hymn-book that insists on 
shutting up. A set of 12 card.s, includ¬ 
ing favorite and well-known hymns, in a 
neat portfolio, is 25 cents. 
Fancy tassels for decorative work, 
bags, etc., are modeleil after Chinese 
styles, and cost, in sizes six and eight 
inches long, from 20 cents each up. Some 
of these are twin tassehs, two side by 
side, mounted at top with wooden spools 
or balls covered with netted silk; some 
are headed with colored beads and little 
gimp ornaments in different colors. They 
are all very picturesque, and are quite a 
feature in trimming and fancy work. 
Soft cushions, ready for covering, are 
filled either with silk floss or down. A 
square 20-inch cushion filled with the 
flo.ss may be bought for .39 cents; the 
same size filled with doAvn is 94 cents. 
These cushions come in pillow shape. 
square, round and oval, ready for cov¬ 
ering. Small “baby pillows” filled with 
down are covered with pink or blue sat¬ 
een, as well as white. A small down 
pillow, prettily covered, is a welcome

A Big Washing With Little Work 
That’s the result when you use 20 Mule Team Borax. It softens the water— 
it helps the soap do its best work—it whitens the clothes and makes your linen 
take a glossier ironing. But the laundry is only one of the many places where 
MULE TEAM BORAX 
hai a hit use. Take the kitchen for instance. 20 Mule Team Borax makes dish washing eaty. 
It cuts the grease—putt a shine on china and glassware. And in the bath tub you find this Borax 
a splendid soother, pore cleanser and antiseptic. 
20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips 
Soap in chip form. Saves you soap cutting. Blended in the right 
proportions, one part Borax to three parts of pure soap. Not a sub¬ 
stitute for Borax but a time, labor and money saver that will pay you 
to use every wash day. See the picture of the famous 20 Mules on 
each of the above packages. Sold by all dealers.

Beaded bags are just now very popular and 
are Indeed very expensive when one has to 
buy them ready-made. We liave seen some 
that have exceeded $50 in cost, and it really 
is a very ordinary one that can be pur¬ 
chased under $10. We have illustrated six 
very handsome designs that we are able to 
furnish stauiix'd on black moire. Any 
woman can make these bags as she lias but 
to stitch the beads over the stamped dots. 
We cannot supply beads, but we offer a sub¬ 
stitute steel Perle to those who find it diffi¬ 
cult to secure beads, and it really Is a fine 
substitute, aS when it is applied to the de¬ 
sign, one has to examine closely to find that 
it is not steel bead.s. In working the de¬ 
sign with steel Perle lay flat over stamped 
fiarts in a continuous line, and stitch down 
between spiral twists with black sewing silk.
