WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
The Miracle 
Not in the Easter lily’s heart- 
Of gleaming gold and snow. 
Not in the carols silver clear 
Where jeweled window's glow. 
Not in the stately harmonies 
The gilded organs play. 
Is found the miracle divine 
Of Easter Day. 
But in the worm entombed so long 
In darkness and in cold. 
The resurrection, and the life 
Immortal we behold; 
It breaks the cocoon coffin small, 
Arises from the clay. 
And heav’nward soars on joyful wings 
On Easter Day. ,

Many of our readers have grown 
familiar with the contributions of Miss 
A. M. Tuttle, who under the different 
pseudonyms of Prudence Primrose, R. 
Itliamar and Aurelia, was for many years 
a frequent contributor to the “Woman 
and Home” pages of Ttif, R. N.-1. It is 
with a sense of deep personal loss that 
we record the death of Miss Tuttle in her 
Connecticut home a few weeks ago, as a 
result of pneumonia following influenza. 
Belonging to an old New England family, 
she possessed the keen insight, practical 
knowledge and high ideals that have so 
strongly influenced American life. The 
old farm, where so many of her forebears 
had spent their busy useful lives, was 
very dear to her, and its development in. 
comfort and beauty was one of her ab* 
sorbing interests. The article on “Band-* 
scape Gardening on the Farm” was writ-* 
ten and addressed to Tite R. N.-Y. just; 
before attacked by her fatal .illness. 
Surely “her works do follow her.”

We are asked to give a recipe for rolled 
jelly cake. The following is exceeding 
good, always rolls without breaking, and 
is a little richer than most recipes: 
Three eggs, one-half tablespoon milk, one- 
fourth teaspoon salt, one level teaspoon 
baking powder, one cup flour, one table¬ 
spoon melted butter. Line bottom of pan 
with paraffin paper, spread mixture 
evenly, and bake in a quick oven. When 
baked turn out on paper, sprinkled with 
powdered sugar, spread quickly with 
jelly, and Toll. Roll the paper around it, 
twisting the ends, to keep it in shape. 
We always trim off the sides, if irregular, 
before rolling up.

We have been very much interested in 
the various opinions as to hot school 
luncheons. The points brought out re¬ 
cently by those objecting are excellent. 
At first thought, a comfortable hot meal 
at noon seems an excellent idea for school 
children, but as brought out by further 
study, there are solid objections that 
should be considered. The hot lunches in 
city schools are prepared, not by busy 
teachers, but by persons making a busi¬ 
ness of this part of the work, and the 
children benefited are under-nourished 
and in need of wholesome food. Many 
city mothers go out to work daily, and 
home catering suffers in consequence. 
There are many reforms needed in rural 
schools, but a majority of our correspond¬ 
ents do not include hot noon lunches 
among them. 
K= 
Landscape Gardening on the Farm 
Wo go through the city’s best residen¬ 
tial streets and see on every lawn shrubs, 
trees and vinos, as many as space will 
allow. They bank the verandas and 
porches and outline walks or boundary 
lines, the more of them the more attrac¬ 
tive the homes. We come home to our 
acres of outlook and say : “Where would 
you move this syringa? It has grown so big 
that once can scarcely see out of the win¬ 
dow. The lilacs, too. need to be set where 
they will show their blossoms and yet be 
out of the way. They say' we must not 
spot our shrubs about the lawn. We can’t 
make the place look very well with that 
old shed across the street and the barns 
unpainted, but Father will have things 
this way.” 
“Why not mask the barn _ and shed 
with your vines and shrubs?” asks the 
Man Who Knows. “Those burdocks are 
having altogether too good a time there 
south of the shed. A grapevine could as 
well be trained onto the corner of the 
shed and a branch, if carried across above 
that wide arch, would make it a thing of 
beauty. A purple Wistaria could be 
trusted not to do those old buildings any 
harm, but keep Wistarias and trumpet

creepers off the house. They will twist 
into blinds and cornices and become nui¬ 
sances. But tell your friends who live 
north of New York that they may need 
to wrap these vines in straw for a few 
Winters till they become big enough not 
to winter-kill.” 
“Can’t we use Clematis paniculata and 
Hall’s honeysuckle and climbing roses on 
old buildings?” 
“Certainy. but any of those is pretty 
enough to train over the house door, aud 
a lattice framing a south door is some¬ 
thing every house needs. But you cau 
easily root enough Dorothy Perkins roses 
to spare several for the outbuildings, and 
against a background of weathered boards 
the blossoms show off wonderfully. Try 
a Crimson Rambler against gray boards 
and you’ll be pleased. Then when your 
vines are set begin planting shrubs in 
front of them, the talk^sorts at the back. 
Place them irregularWrinit with an eye 
to a bank of mixed foliage, a lilac, a 
syringa and a Deutzia creuata, not too 
near together when full grown; this 
makes a good background. Set the large- 
flowered syringa if you want to pick the 
blossoms for the house, the old sweet 
syringa is too heavy in fragrance for most 
people.” 
“What is that willowy, fine-leaved 
shrub as feathery as weeping plumes? 
Can I have that for variety of foliage?” 
“Certainly. The Tamarix is hardy and 
a good grower. Have a variegated leaved 
Weigela, too, for all-summer effects. A 
Japan quince deserves a prominent place 
and so does Spiraea Van Houttei. The 
low-growing white Deutzia gracilis, if it 
has a place in a front corner not too 
much overshadowed, will make one of the 
prettiest little round bushes you ever 
saw, and will be in bloom for Memorial 
Day. You will like to have a flowering 
currant where you can break off sprays 
of its spicy flowers in May. The old-fash¬ 
ioned Spiraea, bridal wreath, makes a 
good shrub for the foreground where

“But would it not be expensive buying 
so many shrubs?” 
“You need buy only a few, I think.” 
and the Man Who Knows began drawing 
a plan of the old barn and where shrubs 
should he set to hide its gaunt lines. 
“The shrubs you have need digging up 
and chopping apart. Prune the tops t<> 
a foot or s<> and reset in early Spring. 
You can root Hydrangea paniculata if 
you take cuttings of blossoming branches 
after the flowers fade, and Deutzia cre¬ 
uata will strike root if a vigorous young 
piece 1><“ pulled off from the root in April 
and thrust down in damp garden soil.

or pieces you may plant in damp soil.

how you want it to look 10 years from 
now. See your shrubs full grown, and 
some unsightly building or weedy corner 
forgotten behind a succession of flower- 
filled branches. You’ll succeed once you 
begin. Only begin—and begin now.”

It comes out a thick puree, and certainly 
is about the most delicious meat prepara¬ 
tion that appears on our table. The 
original formula was to add one-half can 
tomatoes and same of peas and a carrot. 
I should think green peas right from the 
garden would be very nice indeed. My 
way is always to change, so I use the 
soup instead. F. c. c. 
Use the Double Boiler 
Mashed potatoes, warmed over in the 
double boiler, and beaten a little, are quite 
as good as when first mashed. I like to 
mash potatoes enough for three meals, for 
my small family, storing enough for one 
meal in the double boiler, and making 
enough halls to fry for one meal. Other 
vegetables, such as squash, cabbage, tur¬ 
nips—in fact, almost all:—can be warmed 
over better in the double boiler than in 
any other way, and there is no need to 
watch to prevent scorching. G. A. T. 
Fuel Oil for Domestic Use 
The R. N.-Y*. published several arti¬ 
cles regarding the use of wood in domestic 
heaters. Every few days the Boston 
Transcript alludes to manufacturing 
plants substituting fuel oil for coal. The 
almost impossibility of obtaining coal 
here in Maine, and the extremely high 
price, leads me to ask if there is not 
some one who could tell us whether the 
fuel oil is practicable for domestic heat¬ 
ing. steam and hot water. If so, give 
the particulars, method of application and 
cost compared with coal. There. is wood 
enough in this section, but labor is almost 
unobtainable. The oil question is a very 
interesting one. F. c. c.

peppers and one red pepper. Remove the 
outside leaves aud hard -center from a 
solid head of white cabbage. Chop the 
peppers and cabbage fine and add two 
tablespoonfuls of white mustard seed, two 
tablespoonfuls each of salt and brown 
sugar and cold vinegar to cover. Mix 
well aud store in a stone crock. This 
relish can be used at once, but if a good 
quality of vinegar is used it will keep for 
months without cooking.
