WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
Unguarded Gates 
Wide open and unguarded stand our gates, 
And through them presses a wild, motley 
throng—■ 
Men from the Volga and the Tartar 
steppes. 
Featureless figures of the Hoang-Ho, 
Malavan, Scythian, Teuton, Kelt and 
Slav, 
Flying the Old World’s poverty and scorn ; 
These bringing with them unknown gods 
and rites— 
Those, tiger passions, here to stretch their 
claws. 
In street and alley what strange tongues 
are loud. 
Accents of menace alien to our air. 
Voices that once the Tower of Babel knew 1 
O Liberty, white Goddess, is it well 
To leave the gates unguarded? On thy 
breast 
Fold Sorrow’s children, soothe the hurts 
of fate, 
Lift the downtrodden, but with hand of 
steel 
Stay those who to thy sacred portals come 
To waste the gifts of freedom., Have a 
care 
Lest from thy brow the clustered stars be 
torn 
And trampled in the dust. For so of old 
The thronging Goth and Vandal trampled 
Rome, 
And where the temples of the Caesars 
Stood 
The lean wolf unmolested made her lair. 
—Thomas Bailey Aldrich.

off roots and tops. The natural result is 
that they are drained of the richly colored 
juice, and lose much flavor. Our practice 
is to wash carefully, so as to avoid wound¬ 
ing the skin, to cut off no roots, and to 
leave about three inches of the leaf stalks. 
As a result the beets “bleed” less in cook¬ 
ing, and retain color and flavor. It is 
The RURAL N 
better still if they are steamed instead of 
boiled.

A delicious jelly is made by combining 
peach with crabapple, one-third peach to 
two-thirds apple. The peach alone does 
not “jell” easily, but mixed with crab it 
stiffens nicely, and makes a clear, light- 
colored jelly with a flavor suggestive of 
apricot.

The Motor Corps of America, whose 
businesslike uniforms have been familial 1 
around New York during the war, will 
not disband in time of peace. The women 
who helped out with their automobiles 
during the war by transporting wounded, 
carrying officers to and from their quar¬ 
ters and tackling several big jobs such as 
were presented by the Perth Amboy ex¬ 
plosion and the Northern Pacific wreck, 
will now put their cars at the service of 
sick babies and old and infirm women who 
must be carried to hospitals or to the 
Health Department clinics for treatment. 
These are women with leisure who drive 
their own cars, and they feel that there 
is plenty of service for others awaiting 
them in time of peace.

Cobn chowder is nourishing and in¬ 
expensive, and always one of our most 
popular dishes. The following is a 
standard recipe, but we may omit the 
EW-YORKER 
potatoes, and we also like chopped green 
pepper in place of parsley. Fry, until 
delicately browned, a thin piece of salt 
pork, cut in dice, and one chopped onion; 
then add one peeled tomato cut in 
bits, one tablespoonful of shredded 
parsley, the corn pulp cut from four 
ears of corn, and sufficient cold water 
to cover the ingredients. Cover the fettle 
closely and simmer for forty minutes after 
it reaches the boiling point. Season to 
taste with salt and paprika, and add one 
pint of rich milk, heated, and two cooked 
potatoes, cut into cubes. Let the chowder 
boil again, break in some crisp crackers 
and serve immediately. Made with canned 
corn, this is a fine supper dish for cold 
Winter evenings. An economical recipe 
for corn fritters includes the use of bread 
crumbs, which saves flour. It calls for 
one cupful of cooked corn, cut from the 
cob, three-fourths cupful of milk, one- 
half cupful bread crumbs, one tablespoon¬ 
ful flour, one teaspoonful baking powder, 
one egg, three-quarters teaspoonful salt. 
Mix corn, milk, bread crumbs and salt 
together; add egg, well beaten, and flour 
and baking powder sifted together. 
Dyeing Immortelles 
I have a suggestion for dyeing these 
flowers that I am sure will work, though 
I have not had a chance to try it, be¬ 
cause my wild immortelles that I have 
.September 20, 1919 
growing in my garden bloomed while I 
was away in the mountains and are past 
their beauty. But I had planned to try 
coloring them in this easy way. Use 
artists’ oil colors in gasoline, enough 
color to give the desired shade. I am 
sure it will work for any light shade. 
I paid ten dollars for the “secret” many 
years ago and have used it to color ostrich 
tips, lace and even a faded lavender chip 
that looked like new. Speaking of that 
hat suggests that the new dyes for color¬ 
ing hats that can be bought at the drug 
stores nowadays might be even better and 
easier to buy than the paint, and no 
danger of a greasy look if too much color 
is used as with the paints. mrs. e. c. 
Lemon Butter 
Will you please print a recipe for Eng¬ 
lish lemon pie? The filling is made and 
put in jelly glasses so you can keep it a 
long time. m. w. h. 
No doubt the filling desired is lemon 
butter, for which an English friend gives 
the following recipe: One pound lump 
or granulated sugar; six eggs, using the 
whites of four only; one-fourth pound of 
butter; juice of three large lemons. Beat 
the eggs, put all the ingredients in a 
double boiler, and stir until thickness of 
honey. The old-fashioned way was to 
put into a jar. and stand the jar in a 
saucepan of boiling water. Put away in 
jelly glasses. This is a delicious filling 
for tarts, layer cakes or delicate sand¬ 
wiches.

ing?” asked Ethel. “No,” replied Jack, 
sadly. “I thought I did, but when I tried 
it the girl married me.”—Credit Lost. 
Dance 
Assures a Successful Party 
Y OU will need to do some entertain¬ 
ing this fall and winter. Everybody 
wants to dance. Consider the help you 
will get from a Gulbransen Player-Piano. 
You can always depend upon the Gul¬ 
bransen for good dance music—the latest 
jazz songs, the old favorites. It offers a 
larger repertoire than any orchestra. 
Its full piano tone is ample and inspir¬ 
ing. It makes you independent of hired 
talent, saves you money, keeps your par¬ 
ties delightfully informal. 
And everybody can play the Gulbransen 
with all the zip and swing you could ask. 
It is quite the thing to take a turn at it while 
resting from dancing. The Gulbransen 
is so Easy to Play it will not tire you. 
In fact, a tiny baby once crept up to the 
Gulbransen and, so gently do the pedals 
operate, the baby played it just as shown 
in the picture at the right. That is where 
we got the idea for our trade mark. 
But the Gulbransen is not only easy to 
pedal. It is easy to play well, expressively, 
sympathetically, brilliantly — as suits the 
occasion. It gives you a new idea of 
player-pianos. 
Go to the Gulbransen dealer and try a 
Gulbransen. You will find him by the 
Baby at the Pedals in his window and 
newspaper advertising. Or write us for 
his address. 
Try some of these popular dance songs. 
The Gulbransen dealer has them. They 
sound particularly well on the Gulbran¬ 
sen. You ought to know them.
