WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
America to Her Young Men 
America saith to her young men—Behold 
me! 
Have I not mothered you, not reared 
you wellV 
Close in yoiii’ girdling arms should you 
not fold me, 
Safeguarded as within a citadel? 
Have I not given my bounty and my 
beauty 
To you. aforetime nurslings at my 
breast? 
And should not love insi)ire you, and not 
duty, 
Should threatening danger put you to 
the test? 
America saith to her young men—Re¬ 
member 
That honor is a high and holy thing? 
Rather be life but as a quenched ember 
Than yon unworthy of your mothering! 
—Clinton Scollard in New York Sun. 
If 
A RKCKNT discus.sion of coffee making 
in a New York daily paper called out 
comments from travelers who told how 
coffee was made in the countries where 
it grows. They all agree that it is cus¬ 
tomary to roast the beans fresh every day, 
and to cook them quite black, to a imint 
that we should consider almost burned. 
It is then finely ground, and dripped 
through a bag of close texture, the water 
being actually boiling when poured over 
it. The strong infusion is temperi'd with 
hot milk, and if desired weakened with 
hot water, but never diluted with cold 
milk. In Tahiti and other South Sea 
islands freshly grated cocoanut meat is 
squeezed in coarse muslin, and the cream 
tluis obtained is used in coffee, made from 
freshly roasted and ground berries. 
* 
The following is a Long Island recipe 
for clam chowder, endorsed as of high 
quality. Fry three slices of salt pork 
and drain from the grease. Cut into small 
bits and place in kettle. Open fifty hard 
clams and lift from the juice, which 
should be carefully stiained. Chop fine. 
In a chopping bowl place ten medium¬ 
sized white potatoes, three small carrots, 
six large onions, a small bunch of parsley 
and a bunch of celery, four tomatoes or 
scant half can after pouring off juice. 
Chop all together and add to pork and 
strained clam juice and cook gently three 
hours. Add chopped clams and cook 
thirty minutes. Season with pepper, a 
little salt if necessaiy and a piece of but¬ 
ter the size of an egg. A small quantity 
of water may be added if too thick. 
In many households the present crisis 
in our National life means, finst of all, a 
still closer economy in already frugal liv¬ 
ing. AV’'e all want to show patriotism and 
loyalty, but here, most surely “they also 
serve who only stand and wait.” Many 
a woman cannot cut out idle Iuxuit, be¬ 
cause she has never had any, and she has 
to look forward to an increasing cost in 
bare necessities. The farm home may 
well study the economies of Civil War 
times, with the idea of growing as muen 
food as possible. A patch of good white 
Hint corn, well ripened, will give a supply 
for making hulled corn, which may be 
substituted for ready-prepared cereals as 
often as family taste will permit. Canned 
goods are sure to be high, the increase in 
tin, as well as other causes, contributing 
to this, and it is quite probable that glass 
preserve jars will increase in price also. 
For this I'eason we shall do well to i)ro- 
vide a plentiful supply of vegetables that 
may be kept without canning, such as va¬ 
rious I'oot crops, and dried beans, iind 
such salads as celery and endive. Toma- 
toe.s are so indispensable that we must 
put up as many as possible, but there 
will be economy in also i)reparing the 
boiled-down tomato paste, so i)opular with 
Italian housewives, which is so valuable 
for soups, stews, scalloped dishes, and in 
fact all sorts of ways where canned toma¬ 
to is desirable. Indeed, if there is a great 
increase in the prices of canning mate¬ 
rials, the farm housewife may find it 
profitable once more to evaporate fruit 
and sweet corn for home use.

Sepanite skirts of navy sei-ge cost from 
$3.74 to $10.74, and are always in style. 
A woman of conservative taste will prefer 
this to some of the showy sports patterns, 
for wear with w’hite waists. Black taffeta 
skirts, always useful, range fi'om $4..S0 
to ,$10.74. There are many semi-jnade 
sporf.s skirts of colored coixluroy, peacock 
blue, coral, old rose, gold and emerald, 
costing usually from about .$3 to $5. 
Some of the newest hammocks have gay 
cretonne covers. The awning is of cre¬ 
tonne trimmed with fringe, the mattress 
and screen being of the same. They are 
very gay and pi-etty.
