WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
Aspects of the Pines 
Tall, somber, grim, against the morning 
Bky, 
They rise, scarce touched by melancholy 
airs, 
Which stir the fadeless' foliage dream¬ 
fully 
As if from realms of mystical despairs. 
J ail, somber, grim, they stand with dusky 
gleams, 
Brightening to gold within the wood¬ 
land’s core 
Beneath the gracious noontide’s tranquil 
beams 
But the weird winds of morning sigh 
no more. 
A stillness strange, divine, ineffable 
Broods round and o’er them in the 
wind’s surcease 
And on each tinted copse and shimmering 
dell 
Rests the mute rapture of deep-hearted 
peace. 
Bast, sunset comes—the solemn joy and 
night 
Borne from the west when cloudless 
day declines—• 
Bow, flutelike breezes sweep the waves of 
light 
And, lifting dark green tresses of the 
pines, 
Till every lock is luminous gently float, 
Fraught with hale odors up the heaven 
afar, 
To faint when twilight on her virginal 
throat 
Wears for a gem the tremulous vesper 
star. 
—Paul Hamilton Hayne (1831-1886).

Autumn is a busy time on the farm, 
both outside and in, but it is also time 
to take stock of any small repairs about 
the house that, left undone, may mean 
extra discomfort or inconvenience in Win¬ 
ter. It is surprising how much extra 
comfort is given by a storm sash on an 
exposed window, or by repairs to cracked 
panes of glass, or ill-fitting doors. All 
such things should be listed and attended 
to before cold weather sets in. Many of 
us cannot afford big repairs and improve¬ 
ments, but we can add materially to 
home comfort by attention to these small 
things. We have known people to go for 
years with a latch that didn’t catch, or a 
door that wouldn’t stay shut, when a 
handy man with 15 minutes’ time could 
rectify the troubFe and prevent the an¬ 
noyance. It is surprising, too, what a 
moral tonic may be found in a can of 
paint. A shabby kitchen, that does not 
look clean, no matter how much work is 
put upon it, is depressing at all times, 
but especially so in Winter. The hard¬ 
working housekeeper is entitled to a 
cheerful workshop. 
* 
We have received a good many sug¬ 
gestions for the use of sweet apples. One 
old New England recipe calls for a com¬ 
bination of sweet apples and wild grapes 
in marmalade. Heat 4 lbs. of stemmed 
anl pulped grapes until the seeds are free 
•of pulp. Have 4 lbs. of sweet apples 
pared, cored, sliced and steamed until 
'tender. Sift the grape pulp, add the ap¬ 
ples, turn into a kettle set on asbestos 
mat or back of range and simmer slowly 
for two hours; measure, add sugar in the 
proportion of % lb. to a pint of pulp, and 
cook until a little, chilled on ice, shows 
that it is stiff enough to retain its shape. 
Turn into jelly glasses and seal. 
Grape catsup is very good, and not so 
common as the familiar tomato. Pick 7 
lbs. of grapes off the 'stems, wash them, 
put them in a stone jar and set the jar 
over the fire in a deep pot of boiling wa¬ 
ter. Bet the grapes cook in this manner 
for an hour in order to loosen the seeds. 
Remove from the fire and strain through 
a sieve, being careful that all the pulp 
goes through. Then add a pint of good 
cider vinegar. 3 x / 2 lbs. of sugar and a 
teaspoon each of cinnamon and cloves. 
Return to the fire and cook until thick. 
sf. 
Another of the less common relishes is 
peach catsup, made as follows : Pare and 
quarter one peck of firm, ripe peaches; 
add one pint of water to the peelings and 
one dozen sliced kernels; simmer 30 min¬ 
utes, then strain; add peaches to the 
liquor and simmer another 30 minutes; 
add one cup of vinegar, one-half cup each 
of lemon juice and sugar, two teaspoons 
of ground cinnamon and one-half teaspoon 
each of ground cloves, mace and pepper, 
and boil very slowly until as thick as de¬ 
sired. Seal hot in pint jars.
