What She Believes and What she DONE
Beiieve-Some Useful Hints.
DEAR Howard Enthusiastically re-
quests that each member should write
once a month. / would rather write
when 1 want to, and that is right now.
What am 1 going to write about, did
some one ask? Well haven't the slight
est idea, but think that l will help
Calico Bilp' with his questions. The
first thing he asks; as religion necessary
to moral life" / think not, but good
morals are necessary TO a religious life.
Then you ask is baptism necessary to the
salvation of man. The bible says: "Be-
lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved" Then you ask
should ladies correspond with
strange men. l see no reason why they
should not if they want to. / agree with
you that much benefit and pleasure may
be gained by such correspondence, but
with the rest of your letter l cannot agree
with you at all.
"B. Ella Rayne," have you read East
Lynne" and did you like it? l don't be-
Heve you did. l don't believe many peo-
pie do like it. l for one, think it is
dreadiully silly Who of the Howard
members was it that read "John Halifax,
Gentleman" 1t was one of the first
novels that ever read. and / think it
is just splendid. II. o. NJ" did
you get the paper l sent,
former nom was, but l can't imagine
what you are going to beg my pardon, or
rather not beg my pardon for. Surely not
for saying what YOU thought on temper
ance or on any other subject. | had not
even thought Of such a thing. l never
beg peoples pardon for having very de-
cided opinions Of their own, we can be
friends without that.
Grandma Lone" I would like the
recipe for old-fashioned corn pone Please,
now. send it to the page at once, with one
OF your good letters. "Aranmore," Pm
not going to help you and Mark" with
your discussion. l don't know anything
about the subject. but one thing that /
would like to know is, if you are q city
gentleman what do you know about
wheat? / would also like to know how
long you have been living with the cous-
ms. and do they never tire of boarding
you? just wish they would put you to
pulling weeds. Not so as t. keep you
from the page. We can't spare you, but
you see l would like to hear
how you liked the work. don't
believe you can raise pumpkin
and even il you can know
you can't make pies. wonder if ali the
members were as glad as l was to read
letter from our president after his long.
long absence.
Hopeful Kate" don't you say a word
about my talk OF never getting sick. |
am not sick now, but | can't walk all the
same. DO all the Fl. l.. G. ladies. know
that the colors IN wash goods will not fade
nearly much If they have first been
soaked in strong salt water for an hour.
and that tar may be removed with coal
oil? III the goods cannot be washed rub
the spot until the tar is removed, King
care to spread the coal oil as little as
possible, then placing between two pieces
of brown paper, iron the spot with hot
iron, changing the papers as often as they
become soiled.
Now, am going to tell you how make
cookies. Mix one cup OF sugar and two
thirds of a cup of butter. To these add
two eggs beaten separately, one-half cup
OF milk, one and One-haf teaspoocful of
baking powder and just -four enough to
roll them out. "MAY BELLE"
