WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
Heat Legend 
And still it wouldn't i-ain! 
The rows in the garden was just like 
deep, dry wrinkles , 
On an old face that’s all pinched up with 
pain. 
The poor peas rattled and coughed in the 
hot west breeze. 
The Limas had give up tryin’ to climb 
their poles. 
There was hisses like chokin’ breaths— 
that was the trees. 
It was late in the afternoon, and the 
wife and me 
Stood lookin’ out at the pantin’, parch in’ 
hills, 
When she says, “Look !” And I begun to 
see 
Soft, hazy somethin’, like a smoke, start 
driftin’ 
Out of the ground, and risin’ way up 
high. 
It wasn’t mist. It was blue. And besides, 
the sun 
Was grinnin’ down, and not a cloud in 
the sky. 
The wife turns round, and she gives a 
sad sorta smile, 
“I know what that is,” she says, 
“It’s the kind of thing the Indians used 
to think, 
I guess you’ll say. But that there soft 
blue haze 
Is the souls of all the flowers and little 
plants 
That’s been killed by the drought. 
They’re goin’ up to see the Evil Spirit, 
To try and find out 
If maybe there hasn’t been enough sacri¬ 
fices. 
They want to show that they were glad 
to give 
Their lives for the sake of what the 
drought might spare, 
And ast it it won’t let just a little live.” 
I didn’t have the heart for such kid no¬ 
tions as that. 
I watched the shrivelin’ corn, and shook 
my head, 
And went inside the house, to try and 
forget 
The everlastin’ heat, stretched out in bed. 
All of a sudden I was awake again, 
The trees was slappin’ the roof, and the 
thunder roarin’. 
And, like the 'bottom fell out of the sky. 
The good old rain was pourin’! 
—John Y. A. Weaver, in N. Y. World. 
We are asked again how to prepare 
filling for cheese cake, such as bakers 
sell. The foundation is fresh curd. Add 
one egg to one cup of curd, beat smooth, 
beat in one-half cup of sugar, a piece of 
butter the size of a walnut, and flavor 
with nutmeg, mace or vanilla. Line pie- 
plates or layer-cake tins with good pie¬ 
crust. fill with the mixture, and bake 
without an upper crust.

The young girl’s sailor suit is now su¬ 
perseded by other models eQually simple, 
and having the same trim youthfulness. 
A pretty model was a straight unbelted 
frock of blue cloth, with long tight 
sleeves. Down the front, from the collar 
to the low waistline, then extending to 
outline the top of pockets, was a line of 
bright red braid, two inches wide, with 
a row of smoked pearl buttons sewn on 
the center. We also see plain one-piece 
dresses of blue twill, with a sailor col¬ 
lar trimmed with braid, and a row of 
steel buttons all the way down the front. 
Aix-wooi, cheviot, in all the fashion¬ 
able shades, is much in favor this Fall, 
as all ribbed materials are in vogue. Cot¬ 
ton cheviot is also popular for blouses. 
No other woolen material, however, has 
been quite so popular for general Fall 
wear as flannel, in checks', stripes and 
solid colors. One sees it everywhere in 
sports blouses, one-piece dresses, and 
children’s clothes. It is quite noticeable, 
too. that all the Fall dresses are very 
much shorter again, so last season s 
skirts must be taken up at the hem. 
'I' 
Regarding the problem of uninvited 
company, so often an added burden to 
busy farm Avomen, here is a solution of¬ 
fered by a practical Massachusetts man: 
It seems to me that action as outlined 
below Avould improve the situation of 
Mrs. B. P. S.. page 1221. Let her have 
some business woman prepare a form 
letter in multiples, stating that she will 
take a limited number of boarders. Fix 
a price for table and rooms separately 
and make it all she dares to—and then 
double it. Then instead of waiting for 
the hordes to descend on her just mail 
copies to such as she had reason to dread. 
Having done this she should be in a posi¬ 
tion to hire her garden hoed if it needs it. 
Uncooked Mangoes 
Take young tender, green muskmelons 
or nutmegs. Soak them in strong brine 
for a week. Then scrape them, cut out 
a section about one inch square, take out 
the seeds. Soak another day, then wash 
in clear cold water and dry with a cloth. 
Then fill the cavity with finely-chopped 
cabbage, horseradish, onion, green toma¬ 
toes. cucumbers, nasturtium seeds, celery

Cheese Savories 
The folloAving cheese savories may be 
served Avith a salad course, and will be 
found exceptionally popular: 
Fheese Balls; 1*4 cups grated cheese, 
one tablespoon flour, *4 teaspoon salt, few 
grains of cayenne, whites of three eggs, 
cracker dust. Mix the cheese Avith the 
flour and seasoning. Beat Avhite of eggs 
until stiff and dry. Add to the first 
mixture. 
Shape in small balls, roll in cracker 
dust, fry in deep fat and drain on broivn 
paper. 
Cheese straws—Oregon way: One cup 
grated bread crumbs, 2/3 cup flour, one 
tablespoon butter, % teaspoon salt, % 
teaspoon pepper, cayenne, one tablespoon 
milk. Cream the butter, add the sifted 
flour, crumbs, grated cheese and season¬ 
ing. Mix Avell before adding milk. Roll 
to % in. thickness. Cut in strips *4 in. 
wide to 4 in. long. Bake until quite brown 
in a moderate oven. Another method for 
making cheese straws with that “just 
right” taste is to roll out plain paste ^4 
in. thick, spread one-half of it Avith grated 
cheese, fold over the other half, pressing 
outer edges together closely. Repeat this 
process three or four times. Cut into 
strips and bake. mbs. j. w. b. 
“Look Out 
for That Stove!” 
Do you still have to carry coal and 
ashes through your home ? Forever 
cleaning up after stoves? Tending several fires most all winter long ? 
Putting up and taking them down every year ? Giving up good 
space to them ? 
And, for that sacrifice,—getting poor heating from them ? Baking 
hot near them—chilly cold in the corners ? Cold bedrooms ? 
Why put up with it, when, in one day’s time, you can sweep all that 
sacrifice out of your life—for good! Open up the whole house to even, 
healthful circulating warmth. Have warm bedrooms, warm floors. 
There’s such a great difference between the way an
