Fifteen miles an hour is not dan

the auto driver who has his machine

is high enough to cause fatal nervous

Ola Home Rallies.

Important social movements have
been brought about by means every
whit as simple in scope as the old home
celebrations which have become well
nigh universal Religious camp meet
lngs were once INDUCED in in order
that worshipers might gather in large
bands, friends and neighbors and stran-
gers swapping notes and experiences
and encouraging one. another in spir-
itual aspirations. In time camp meet

through similar phase. and pictur-
esque wilds have been developed and
permanently colonized as a result Of
vagrant pleasure touring
Primarily the old home rallies were
In the interest of the home stayers,
who invited their relatives and neigh
bors to troop back and give them so
cial treat. Half Of the JOY Of re-
union of old townies is lost when the
meeting is among strangers and on a
strange scene. Thanksgiving and
Christmas bring scattered families to-
gether. but old home celebrations have
repeopled whole townships, counties
and even states with the old faces and
their duplicates of the newer genera
tion. Sometimes the visit back home
ends in removal back for good.
1t may be that the time has come in
the history of our development for an
extensive and final homeward trekking
Of wanderers. If so, the present jolli-
fications must help the work along.
Many a person who has been away
from the old home for generation
feels that it would be lonely to go back
and have only a few old faces to make
the occasion happy. Old home week
brings a crowd Of equally lonely souls
trooping back. They come from all

began exchanging their pet ideas on

this work was no duty at all when the

bread mixer is arranged on two cog

made and the bread is beautifully
kneaded while the housewife goes
about other duties. While the bread
was mixing, thedemonstrator was

Two cups of chopped meat, one cup
of chopped celery. one.half cup of
irish English walnuts, the chopped
whites of three boiled eggs. The
mayonnaise was made as follows:
The yolks Of the hard boiled eggs
mixed into mortar with three table
spoonfuls Of olive oil, juice of three
lemons Cor same quantity of vinegar)
one teaspoonful salt, dash of red
pepper, and the remaining cup OF
olive oil. The ingredients were beat
en- for very long time. The whites
of two uncooked eggs were beaten
and the mayonnaise was smooth, gol-
den and very delicious. The mixing
bowl was rubbed with piece of on
ion. the meat placed in this, the may
onnaise poured over the top. She
used the glass lemon squeezer to ex-
tract the juice Of the fruit. The salad
was piled into an oval meat plate,
garnished with parsley, salad ro-
settles. as heretofore have describ-
ed, and the half moons of egg. 1t is
easy to imagine how attractive would
be this dish.
