In Q personal note Aunt MARY says of
her letter, ssif not toollate for the Ms'-no
indeed. 1t is pleasure to hear from you
again and to know your interest in the NJ.
B. G. is unabsted. ! want every member
OF the clan to feel an extra glow OF
warmth in the heart when NJ. B. is
thought OF or mentioned.
! regret that quotation lmarks were
omitted after the sentence "But.too many
are still with us', in last weeks column.
The selection from Sadie's clipping in
cluded all between the title, s.How to sue
coed in being nobody" and the sentence
referred to.
Thanks for the greeting" from f. The
Ms are coming into line nicely: sNeIr'
must not forget she has place to fill in
the ranks of this letter, and the Ps and Rs
can come in any tirne.now. But don't any
of you, from A to z,iwait for the alphabet
to be completed before you write again.
Dear ASms Madse aud NJ. B. Friends.
! think must stand for Naughty N9eces
for not one of the nieces.whose nom n plume
begins with the letter n has been heard from.
Perhaps they are all like me-waiting for
somebody else 20 start. the bali rolling or
else dixie mel afraid to write for fear the
other sisters, after reading the letters, will
think stands for Naughty minus the .y,'.
But cheer up and listen while tell you how
to make pretty corset cover out of an old
shirtwaist, nice new (?).taiior- made skirt out
of an old plated one. an Italian dish which
you will ali like, and good Sunday afternoon
treat.
r.xHs
embroidered shirt waists or those that have
tukcs or insertion for the front of the corset
cover. For the back.of.itlI usually take new
cloth, as most of The strain.comes on the back.
| II the waist from which you are making the
corset cover buttoned in the back, you will
have to make it whole Tslip it on over the
head, and then you will need ribbon beading
! around the neck in order to draw it up after it
| is once on. With a little insertion, beading
! and lace, very dainty garments can be fash
/ Toned from discarded shirt waists.
Second, the skirt. / had several skirts
| made with plaits which were stitched about
eight or nine inches down from the waist
One ripped apart and tried to cut it over,
but as the CORES were already cut the skirt
was too short even after added all the left
over pieces to the bottom in rather a patch
work-quilt style. Finally l took another
skirt, and ripping out the hem, basted each
| plat straight to the bottom and then stitched
them, making them look like seams. This is
good way, As there il no question OF their
! fitting well over the hips or of their being too
short after they are done.
Third, the italian dish. This fall my
John" and were invited TO dine with q
young lady who has spent.a number Of years
in Italy. Among the many things served
was squash, but failed TO recognize it at
frst. 1t was cut in small squares, then
dipped in batter and fried in deep fat II
was delicious, and as Late 1t thought Of the
M. B. folks and said 1 would tell them
| about 1t.
Fourth, the Sunday treat. This is made OF
popped corn and 10 fine. For eight quarts Of
popped corn take one pound of sugar, one
small cupful water; boil same till syrup
"strings" or forms soft balls in cold water;
pour over corn and stir till syrup sugars. II
is improved IL few drops.of Vanilla Is added
There! think must stop, or the worthy
| editor, with Aunt Madge's assistance, win put
me out. So farewell until some later day.
NARcissus.
P. 8. Il just received TIE AMERICAN for
| this week. 1t never ACQUIRED to me before
that could stand for Nobody that is some-
| thing for me to think over. NJ
