was up to high standard. The audi

manifested its appreciation in generous

MRS. SLOANE'S PARTY.
BY MARY JOSLYN SMITH.

1t was on the morning of the 18th OF
August that there was great chatter
ing in the Somers' kitchen-all about
the city folks that had taken the Burr
place for the summer. The Somers'
kitchen was a wonderful place. Mr..
and Mrs. Somers always called each
other pa and ma.
This particular morning pa did not
feel very well, was threatened with
ague and .hills, and sat in the kitchen
as near the stove as ma would let him,
considering it was one of her bake days.
They did their own work, but then
there was a regular slew of women
folks in the house.
Mrs. Somers made the fried cakes, for
IN that house they had fried cakes sum
mer and winter. Then she made apple
pies and Lawton blackberry pies that
morning, getting the fruit all from
their own place. Cousin Liza was max
ing her summer visit there, and when
ehe came she made soft ginger cake.
They had her recipe written in booli,
with all the particulars, but no one
could make cake with just the tremble
and the shake that Cousin Liza could.
The recipe was plain:
Two eggs; butter the size of an egg;
tablespoon of ginger; cloves; CHINA
mon; nutmeg to taste; cup of dark
molasses; a cup of brown sugar; a good
bowl of sour milk, with dessertspoon
OF soda and -four to make thin dough.
Cousin Liza said maybe the -four
business made the trouble; some peo-
pie put so much in that it made stiff
cake, or so little that it would fall fiat
as pancake in the big dripping pan in
which it was to be baked. Or it might
be the oven, for it needed a good deal
of judgment about the oven.
The pitcher of saltrising emptings
was in a pail of warm water upon the
high oven, and soon after dinner that
would huff up and be made into loaves,
and what white bread it was! Pa had
dyspepsia, and thought he could eat
no other bread.
Aunt Lois lived there, too, and she
was a martyr to the dishwashing on
those important days.
She started in promptly after break
fast to wash dishes, and there would be
an additional pyramid from the bak-
ing department every now and then,
until at half-past II she sometimes saw
the thickest of them cleared away.
Mrs. Somers' daughter Jane was put
ting the house to rights, and after lit
tie would come to iron with the baking
fire, for firewood was never wasted in
that house.
The three sons were up on the farm,
q mile away, tending to the hay and
mending the fence, and at noon would
come down, hungry as sharks, in view
of which a big kettle of boiled victuals
was being prepared; but with all the
work, there was a babel of talking.
Cousin Liza did not know anything
about the newcomers from the city, so
everything had to be explained to her.
PA, how many calves did you say had
to be killed by the butchers in the two
villages when the Sloanes were getting

MAKING cHANGEFoR Two-FIFTY
1t Will Break Up the System of the Az
erage Cashier.

1t VIII Break Up the System of the Az
erage Cashier.
1t was only little $3.50 gold piece,
but 1t is surprising the amount Of
trouble a little thing can sometimes
make.
The young man handed it to
the cashier in the restaurant, and was
waiting for his change, while behind
him were two or three other people
waiting for him to get out of the way.
But cashiers are methodical, and,
furthermore, nil->-tenths of them have
one certain VIZ of making change that
involves dealing in even dollars, as a
general thing. No matter what the
size of the bill, they take the amount
of the purchase out of the first dol
lar, if it is below that figure, and then
hand over the rest of the money in dol
lars, or bills of larger denominations.
That was what puzzled the cashier.
80, two dollars and half" she said.
while she was trying to make mental
calculation according to her usual sys-
tenn.
That's what il is" replied the yorii.g
man.
"Of course" she returned, slipping it
into the drawer. Check, 40 cents"
and she counted out 60 cents in order
to get on the dollar basis as soon as pos
sible, after her usual fashion; lone dol
lar, two dollars, three dollars-no;
that's not right"
She was red in the face as she drew
the money back and began over again,
realizing that the paltry half dollar in
the gold piece had thrown her financial
system out of order.
She made three trials before she got
the right amount of change on the coun-
ter, and-well, if you don't believe that
a $3.50 gold piece will 'knock out" the
average lightning change" cashier, try
1t some time and you will be convinced

the Burr place, and if he did that
he would likely do something nice for
their town if the women did not make
It too uncomfortable for his family.
What if we write an anonymous let
ter to Mrs. Sloane and tell her we have
some sense and don't need to be invited
to see her in boomers 2" said one of the
afternoon visitors.
Grandma Somers, lady of the old
school, sat in her corner mending, and
calm as June day. Nobody remem-
bered to have ever seen her stirred up.
In the civil war days, when there were
war meetings and people were excited,
she would say: ooh, this is nothing
like the time of the great alarm!" Her
memory went back to that time. She
seldom joined in the conversation when
the neighbors gathered in, but now she
raised her head from her work and
said:
you better go to Mrs. Sloane's to-
night, and decide afterward about your
letters. Long ago as when l was girl,
an anonymous letter was considered d
mark of ill-breeding. I don't know
what people think about them nova
days; did not know but they were a
lost art
Evening came, and they did all go to
Mrs. Sloane's, and she had a beautiful
"night-blooming cereua" to show them.
1t seemed that in the morning she felt
sure that the plant would blossom that
night, and she told her coachman to
get word around to have anyone come
to see it who wished to do so. The
| coachman saw Martha Shafer, and
| thought it would save him all the both
er if he told her to tell the people.
Nobody could ever make out how
"night-blooming cereus" could sound
like dressed in boomers tonight"
but the party concluded to be friends
with Mrs. Sloane, if she would let them,
from that time forth.
