333  W  30th  St.,  N.  V, 
Notes  from  Massachusetts 
We  are  in  the  grip  of  an  old-time 
northeast  snowstorm.  We  had  about  two 
feet  on  the  level  before  this  started;  now 
we  shall  glory  in  nearer  three.  It  looked 
too  bad  to  allow  the  14-year-old  high 
school  pupil  to  start  out  at  7  a.  m.,  which 
is  the  early  hour  they  have  to  leave  home. 
On  a  later  car  I  saw  many  small  folk 
going  to  the  primary  and  grammar 
schools.  1  have  found  this  to  be  the 
greatest  drawback  to  the  consolidated 
school.  Our  town  children  are  transported 
on  the  electrics,  and  they  are  uncertain 
things  in  heavy  snows.  However,  after 
many  years  of  small  country  schools  in 
my  own  childhood,  young  teachers  hardly 
more  than  children  themselves,  old.  cold, 
draughty,  ill-heated  buildings,  without 
any  sanitary  facilities  at  all,  I  most  cer¬ 
tainly  shall  vote  for  our  big,  new,  well- 
lighted  building,  with  its  small  army  of 
proficient  teachers,  headed  by  a  smart 
man  principal. 
Oui  big  boy  is  well  along  in  his  first 
year  at  college.  He  finds  the  work  hard, 
hut  likes  it  well.  He  is  at  the  State 
College. 
We  have  had  a  very  good  year’s  work. 
It  .is  most  tlone  now,  as  there  is  very 
little  call  for  the  “village  carpenter”  in 
January  and  February.  The  seed  cat¬ 
alogues  are  beginning  to  arrive  and  one 
may  see  the  good  man  up  to  his  ears  in 
one  any  evening  now.  How  promising  a 
garden  does  seem  in  January !  No  blights, 
droughts  or  pests  of  any  kind  loom  large 
in  the  mind’s  eye.  One  can  only  see  suc¬ 
cess  as  it  is  pictured  in  the  catalogues. 
I’m  afraid  it  isn’t  too  much  to  say  one 
might  even  see  mother  gently  rocking  and 
trying  to  figure  out  where  she  may  put 
some  of  these  new  kinds  of  posies  in  her 
garden. 
I  am  planning  to  try  my  hand  at  hook¬ 
ing  a  rug  soon.  I  have  a  hook  with  which 
my  grandmother  made  many  of  them  in 
her  day.  Doubtless  it  will  refuse  to  work 
as  skilfully  in  my  hand  as  in  hers;  still, 
we  must  all  make  our  first  trial. 
I  would  like  to  ask  the  Hope  Farm 
man  if  he  remembers  eating  any  real  old- 
fashioned  bean  porridge?  It  certainly 
comes  in  second  to  his  baked  beans.  This 
is  how  it  is  made :  Cook  one  quart  yel¬ 
low-eye  beans  in  the  pot  liquor  of  corned 
beef  (if  a  boiled  dinner  has  been  cooked 
in  it  first,  so  much  the  better).  When 
beans  are  soft,  thicken  with  one-half  cup 
cornmeal,  moistened  with  cold  water,  cook 
five  minutes,  stirring  all  the  time;  take 
off  stove,  add  some  sweet  milk  and  serve. 
Add  boiling  Avater  from  time  to  time  as 
the  liquor  cooks  away.  This  is  very 
hearty  and  is  one  of  the  finest  Winter 
night  suppers  I  know  of.  I  have  been 
making  this  for  1G  years  from  an  old 
lady’s  recipe,  and  in  all  this  time  have 
met  only  one  person  Avho  ever  ate  any 
of  it. 
In  a  recent  issue  I  saw  mention  of  an 
old  diary  or  account  book.  We  have  one 
such  in  our  family,  kept  by  an  ancestor 
who  ran  the  A'illage  store  and  shoemaking 
and  repairing  shop.  Such  entries  as  the 
following  are  common: 
1809.  Mr.  Benja.  Brown 
Dec.  4  To  4  qts.  ruin,  5G  cents 
To  1  glass  rum,  2  cents 
To  333  old  brick,  100  cents 
By  18  split  fish,  31  cents 
To  footing  thick  boots,  $1.12 
To  making  thin  shoes  for  Polly, 
07e 
!  To  making  small  boots  for  the 
boy,  75c- 
Thus  runs  the  curious  bid  book.  It  is 
a  pleasant  pastime  for  a  dull  Winter 
e\Tening  to  turn  the  pages  and  Avatch  these 
people  of  100  years  ago  pass  in  and  out 
of  the  corner  store.  To  me  it  is  much 
pleasanter  to  watch  this  easy-going  people 
of  the  long  ago,  with  their  soft-eyed,  sIoav- 
footed  oxen,  taking  life  more  leisurely, 
than  to  watch  this  same  corner  today, 
Avith  the  sAvift  cars  rushing  by,  taking 
the  lives  of  many  of  the  people  as  they 
go,  or  at  least  leaving  broken  bones  be¬ 
hind. 
We  think  there  is  much  more  profit  in 
geese  than  in  hens.  We  sold  our  young 
geese  all  at  Thanksgiving,  keeping  over 
only  the  gander  and  two  geese.  Very  lit¬ 
tle  grain,  with  some  second  crop  hay,  Avill 
keep  them  through  the  Winter  nicely. 
4 hey  are  fond  of  all  kinds  of  Winter 
vegetables.  The  eggs  for  hatching  bring 
40c  apiece,  Avhjeh  is  better  than  raising 
the  young  at  $5  each,  by  Thanksgiving. 
Is  it  too  early  to  plan  for  Spring  re¬ 
decorating?  I  had  thought  of  using  soft 
unbleached  muslin  in  my  bedroom,  for 
spread,  scarfs  and  curtains.  On  each 
piece  I  shall  put  a  three  or  four-inch 
strip  of  blue  chambray  as  near  old  blue 
as  I  can  get.  I  think  the  unbleached 
cloth  is  beautiful,  it  harmonizes  so  Avell 
Avith  any  color  scheme. 
For  a  boy’s  roo-m  with  one  window, 
Avhieh  I  have  just  decorated,  I  used  a  very 
light  tan  flat-finish  paint  on  walls,  Avith 
sprays  of  red  barberries  and  green  leaves 
here  and  there,  to  form  a  panel  effect. 
This  is  a  north  exposure  room,  so  I  used 
white  scrim  glass  curtains  with  pale  yel- 
Ioav  silkaline  over-drapes,  cross-stitched 
with  black.  mrs.  peg. 
Civilized  people  discover  how  to 
clean  teeth  without  harsh  scouring 
"Wash”— Don’t  Scour  Teeth 
'-Warns  Modern  Science 
Your  hands  are  soiled — do  you  clean  them 
by  scraping  with  sand  alone?  Savages  used 
to  do  so.  But  civilization  substituted  soap. 
Then  cleansing  came  more  quickly,  more 
thoroughly,  and  without  hurt.  As  the  early 
savage  cleaned  his  hands,  you  today  can  take 
a  gritty,  soapless  dentifrice  and  scrape  clean 
the  delicate  enamel  of  your  teeth.  How 
much  simpler  — and  safer — ’is  the  civilized 
method. 
COLGATE’S  CLEANS  TEETH 
THE  RIGHT  WAY 
“Washes”  and  Polishes— Doesn’t  Scratch  or  Scour 
Children  use  Colgate’s  willingly  and  regu¬ 
larly  because  of  its  pleasing  flavor.  Colgate’s 
cleans  teeth  thoroughly— no  safe  dentifrice 
does  more.  A  LARGE  tube 
pay  more?
