Dear AUNT Madoe:

Dear AUNT Madoe:
viii begin a.letter now, hoping to finish it
in seasonable time. Was just wondering if
the sisters ever make
EVER READY LEMONADE The original
recipe was to extract the juice from a dozen
them, then let stand over night. In the
morning make syrup of six pounds Of sugar
and as little water as possible to make a
smooth thick syrup. When cool strain the
lemon into it and bottle tightly.
At first we made half the amount, but found
it sweeter than necessary. 1t suited me het-
ter with little cream tartar in it, We did
not care for the rind in 1t, SO have omitted it
since, then it does not have to stand over
night. With the syrup thus prepared, one may
have glass of lemonade any time without
cutting fresh lemon every time. Use two or
three teaspoonfuls to glass of cold water or
ice water. 1t is economical as well as conyen-
lent, for you get full value of both lemons
and sugar. 1t can also be used for pies, pud-
dings, etc. Is just the thing for picnic
The coffee poem of a few weeks ago
awakened memories of my youth when would
attend the public dinners and suppers in good
old Hancock county. Inever get the combined
aroma of coffee and baked beans but think
of county grange dinners and other grange
feasts. Doubtless the dinners are about the
same, but the brothers and sisters, where are
they?
Did You ever make coffee jelly with tapioca?
To three cups of hot coffee add one half cup

This is why his marriage was a failure:
He did all the counting before marriage.
He never talked his affairs over with his
wife. He thought OF his wife only as a
cheap housekeeper. He never dreamed
that wife deserved praise or compliment.
He married an ideal, and was disappointed
to find it had flaws. He paid no attention
to his personal appearance after marriage.
He treated his wife as he would not have
dared to treat another woman.
