perfect stiffness. Perfect stiffness often pro-
duces sadness, and 1t certaiuly did then as my
mind reverted to the day of the reunion when
the house resounded with many footsteps, and
Joyous laughter mingled with happy voices told
of a merry gathering.

was present that day. Although only an
acquaintance for a short time 10 most OF us. yet

have taken my pen several times to write a
"thank you" TO you ali for wanting TO appro-
pirate the dish-washiDg job, but would lay 1t
down for lack of some useful information.
Now can tell you of something new, at least
to me, and think If any of you had known of
it you would surely have passed it along before
now.
When frying doughnuts, have near your
frying pan dish of boiling water. When your
doughnnts are done, lift each one separately
and plunge II very quickly into the boiling
water. Keep your water boiling and dip them
with rapidify. Set the water out to cool, and
you will be surprised at the amount Of lard on
top that can be used again. This process re-
moves the grease from the doug hn uts, and they
will keep moist longer.
