SEBAGo LAKE. Nov. 4.
Dear Aant Madge and N. BIS:
1 felt quite ashamed to-day when read our
column in The AMERICAN and found that had
caused Aunt Madge to call me up personally
to my part Of the work. Ny only excuse is /
have felt that was only one of the least Of
the nieces, and that could not say anything
TO help any one else-but can do my duty
can't II
In to-day's paper ". asks for a recipe for
chocolate fudge. send her mine. and hope
she win like IL.
CHOCOLATE FupeE-Four cups graduated
sugar, one-half cup cream, one-haif cup milk.
one-Quarter pound butter, oue-half cake
Bakers chocolate grated. Put all over hot
dre antil it begins to thicken, stirring con-
and COOK until il Is easily formed into a baIl
when dropped into cold water, but not hard
or brittle. Remove from the fire at this stage,
flavor with one teaspoon of vanilla and stir
till ii begins to SET Pour in pan To a depth
of ope-half inch and mark off in squares.
Can any of the VI. BIS give any Christmas
SUGGESTIONS / have often wondered how
many nieees Aunt Madge has and II there are
any living near me- If Aunt Madge will for
give me this time, will try and get no more
black marks. i win enclose poem which is
very sweet to me. Some time you may find a
place for it. am keeping all the gems Of
poetry which cut from the Nj. B. column and
have them typewriter. have quite collec-
tion already.
/ often wish knew all the NJ. BIS per-
sonally, but you all have my best wishes and
regards for the help you have given. NELL.
Yes, it did seem really s'to bad" to call
you right out before the public in this
way, but / thank you for your prompt
response and good things you have writ
ten us. | second that suggestion OF offer
ing Christmas hints. The debit and credit
side of a Christmas is discussed more and
more. There are many who would love to
give something to certain individuals
whom they know and esteem, il they
could only give as the Scripture saith of
lending, "hoping for nothing again."
There are two values to a gift--a money
value and heart value; both may be, an
often are combined in one gift, but il there
can only be one value in it, let it be that
of the heart.
II Itell you, Nell, that my nieces num-
Der more than eighty, you will wonder
who they are-but think none live very
near you.

for a number Of years, Maine-ward but bust
ness matters kept us here. Like every change
(thls change was to me a summer home in q
small place. that seems to come to me, it had
"a silver lining. l missed my dear ones on
the Atlantic coast, particularly at our frater-
nifty home at Sandy Point, but found on the
shores of Minnesota's lovely lakes, many de-
lights before unknown
We were at summer hotel six weeks,
where we enjoyed people from the North and
South. Then business took us four and half
miles into the interior, and here for four
weeks we lived 1.-THE simple life" in a tent on
the shore of charming little lake. AL
though my heart not ..pained with the
worlds noisy STIR nor 'scrazed with its mad
tumult", yet did go forth into the woods to
list to Natures teachings, and learned
many helpful, inspiring lesso u. Since then
I've spent two weeks on the north shore of
Lake superior's broad expanse and ten days
near our own inland sea, Mile Laos, twenty
seven miles from Aitkin.
AS an old gentleman used to say when he
got restless, time for me to fit" I've been
fitting, and am back here for few days. I'd
love to write for the column, but can't send
receipts TO so many better cooks and house,
keepers; l don't know what is good for
buHalo bugs nor reaches; l have no new we y
of cleaning house, as / haven't any house to
CLEAN go what can DO for information? I'll
tell you what would love to dol The sun
shine Society is my pet interest, and it would
be the greatest delight to me if once a month
L might send somethins about that M nourse
