refrain from occasionally copying her

issue of that paper she gives her expert

manner:
Monday was such beautiful day, the
clothes drying so quickly, that had
many summer clothes washed, ready to
put away. think it is so much better
not to have them lie with the starch in,
especially if there is much white about
them, as it is almost sure to turn yellow.

complaint to make for housekeeper-
that of too many closets. Our house
has very peaked roof, and the rooms
upstairs have a strip taken off of each
side, 50 as to make the ceilings square,
giving two closets the whole length in
each room, and in one there is third
made by the chimney. My trouble
comes in spring and fall, when their con.
cents have to come out. 1t being SO
handy, many things get tucked away that
should have been disposed of at once

children's outgrown clothing for the
Dorcas Society. AS / had planned
more extra work for this week than
Betsy could do alone, thought would
bake bread while she ironed, on Tuesday.

water and put all in the jar, stirring till
perfectly smooth. Just after supper l
added cupful of soft hop yeast and set il
on the hot-water tank of my stove, in

for Betsey as | had while she was gone.
Coming out one morning, found my
sponge running over tank and stove,
and dripping down on the clean floorl
Before breakfast next morning l stirred
my sponge down, adding cupful OF
warm water. After breakfast I mixed
my bread, adding one more cup of warm
water and kneading the dough thor.

to work out into the pans. Before our

smooth, brown loaves of bread, which,
when cut, were all one could ask for.

each time save pint bowl of sponge,
