pleasing to the taste. This divinity fudge 
is a favorite with many : Cook two cups 
of granulated sugar with one-half cup of 
w T hite syrup and one tablespoon of water 
until it hardens when poured into cold 
water. Have ready the beaten whites of 
two eggs, pour on the boiling candy, very 
slowly, beating vigorously all the time; 
beat five minutes and when cold cut into 
squares. 
To make a good plain fudge, place in 
the cooking pan three cups of sugar, one 
cup sweet milk, a scant cup of grated 
chocolate and butter size of walnut. Mix 
■well and boil over a brisk heat 20 to 25 
minutes; remove from fire and set in pan 
of cold water. Beat until it begins to 
harden, when it is ready to pour into 
buttered platters and cut in squares. Va¬ 
rious other good fudges are evolved from 
the above recipe by the addition of chop¬ 
ped nuts, shredded eoeoanut. etc. 
The delicious, old-time molasses candy 
w T ill always be popular. To make, boil 
together two cups of molasses, two cups 
sugar, half cup of vinegar and butter 
size of egg, until it hardens when dropped 
in cold water. Remove from fire, stir in 
half a teaspoon of baking soda, and when 
cool enough to handle pull until white 
and creamy. sirs, liixie york.

We at Firlands have had more than 
the seasonal excitement and suspense; 
for after months of doubts and delays, 
telegrams and tears, the distance from 
Siberia to Indiana is bridged at last, and 
Lula’s father is here ! We may believe 
ever so strongly in restricted immigra¬ 
tion, but there is nothing to fear in the 
coming of this conservative, educated 
gentleman. The house has rung with 
chatter in various languages, for the 
last week. Lula forgets, and tries to 
talk to him in English, and then forgets 
again, and flings Russian phrases at me, 
or any chance caller, Lula and Earl, of 
course, can speak Russian. Johnnie has 
the universal language of play; hut he 
tries to get his ideas across to his grand¬ 
pa, by talking English very loud! I 
have seen folks who were old enough to 
know better, try to do the same with 
Lula! Myself, I try to brush up mv 
dusty and scanty German, as a means of 
communication, though I don’t get very 
far with it. When two or three of them 
are talking Russian, the rapidity and 
vehemence of their speech sound to me 
like fighting. It is quite an opportunity, 
for anybody with a head for languages, 
but I have no natural “gift of tongues,” 
nor sufficient incentive to work hard 
at it. 
The Missionary Society planned today 
a canned fruit shower for a neighbor 
who has been sick a long time, hut worse 
than ever last Summer, finally having 
an operation. One can apiece will never 
be missed from our shelves. We select 
what we have in greatest abundance, and 
a surprising variety results, when 80 or 
more housekeepers contribute. There 
still remain a few things to jell and can. 
I have one variety of pear that will 
make jelly, without commercial pectin. 
I have not tried it yet, but tasted it, 
several years ago. It is on the schedule, 
also carrot marmalade, tomato mince, 
corn, and maybe, just maybe, chard. 
Some way I doubt the wisdom of giving 
can-room to greens. 
There is a form of entertainment go¬ 
ing the rounds of the neighboring towns, 
that produces great results in laughs 
and dollars. It is called the “Kitchen 
Cabinet Orchestra.” There is a thread 
of a story, bringing in many old familiar 
tunes, which the “orchestra” appears to 
produce on instruments made of kitchen 
utensils—everything from an eggbeater 
to a washtub. There is comedy in abund¬ 
ance. and some real music, and while a 
description of it sounds impossibly fool¬ 
ish, yet it is always a success, and each 
organization .usually has to give two per¬ 
formances at least. The group that I 
viewed last week will give three, and 
probably four, performances. It is 
economy to do so, as there is a lot of 
work, and some expense, in the prepara¬ 
tion. 
What loads of attention an old house 
needs; especially if it has not had any 
for 20 years! I had a carpenter doing 
a few of the most urgent things Monday : 
a pane or two of glass, replacing broken 
or loose ones, that the coldest part of a 
breeze always finds; jambs for the cellar 
door (the rats ate the old one) ; a floor 
register in the guest room, for the Win¬ 
ter comfort of Lula’s papa; an open- 
faced wardrobe in the guest room < cur¬ 
tained with an old stenciled portiere) 
for the comfort of anybody who visits 
there. Why do people build houses with 
no place to hang clothes? The old part 
of the house is well suprdied with cup¬ 
boards and closets, but this “new” (05- 
year) part belongs to tie cuphoardless 
era. There are other jobs needing do¬ 
ing, but I could have the carpenter only 
this one day just now. 
I’ll report later if I make a success of 
using some of the discarded window glass 
for a tray—two thicknesses, with milk¬ 
weed floss and dried grasses between. 
The framing is what bothers me; wish 
I could do a basketry edge in reed or 
raffia. E. M. c.
