Dear aunt Mudqe:
May answer to the rol-caI with the er :
closed copy of Lowell's sonnet on true noble =
ness? hope some of the NJ. b. readers will
find it inspiring and helpful. H.
Yes, you were one OF The HIS / had in
mind and your "nohle" response will
awaken new thoughts.
Another new Fl, whom we now welcome
and who, l think, promise to furnish
some recipes, wishes to tell the NJ. BIS
that they will find it easy and satisfactory
to clean their silver by putting ii in pan
of sour milk and letting i, stand few
hours, take it out ana wash and wipe it
and they will be satisfied with the result.
This method was given us some time age,
think by Novice, who has tried it with
success.
There is still another old friend Of the
column who comes under the HIS and
who always gives us something helpful.
Dear NJ B. Friends:
Aunt Madge has reminded n,e that the rs
are expected to be heard from. like the roll
call very much. We had ore in cur church
and later in the Rebekah lodge, but who is
going to pass the refreshments after all have
answered to their names? There would not be
many come if they not sure Of some
thing to eat. Now viii give you
BsLLE's CAKE-Yolks of four eggs, beaten
stiff, add one cup sugar, beat thoroughly, add
one-fourth pound melted butter, one cup
hour in which is one easpoonful baking pow
der, then add whites of four eggs beaten stiff,
and vanilla for flavor.
Here are some cookies which are very good
, with coffee or cocoa.
of .'sister Charity")-One cup sugar, one cup
sour cream, one egg. one teas poonful soda,
| nutmeg or vanilla havoring, -four to roll.
think Aunt Madge made us most enter
tanning call last week. think it is nice for
her to get left" once in while.
A delegation Of ladies from our mission
circle took a blackboard ride to Ellsworth
May 26, to attend the basket meeting. 1t was
a beautiful day (the first one without rain for
long time1 and we truly appreciated it..
Zilla and l anticipated seeing Dell as we
passed her home, but in this were disap-
pointed. However, we were happily sur
prised when S. j. Y. appeared at the after
| noon service. She seemed to be well and
happy and wished to be remembers to Aunt
Madge and all the sisters in this vicinity.
i cannot tell G. the name of the hymn she
| asked for, but my neighbor, L. j., (who is
| very much interested in the column, although
| not a contributor) found the verse which was
quoted in very old hymn book Of her grand
| father. 1t has several verses and that one
| was the last. 1t was placed among the c. NJ.
hymns and no name assigned to it. This is
| not very satisfactory information, pc rhaps
some one will learn something more definite.
Here is request from a troubled house
| keeper: II would like to have you ask the NJ
B. sisters if they can tell me how to extermi-
| nate black ants from the pantry. They have
troubled me before, and now they are begin
ming to come again, and are SO troublesome ]
hope you viii give me an immediate and sure
cure" tt
| hope there are some wise enough among
| our clan to know inst what to do, and later we
| shall hear from troubled housekeeper'
| through the column and thus welcome new
sister.
| wonder if Beth is anyone whom / know.
| think Ford and were schoolmates some years
| ago Isn't it interesting when new name ap-
| pears and you are not quite sure who it is9

chalk mark, and it is easy to draw a chall
mark around sugar firkin or box, anc
also across the window sill Of the pantry

case. Will others please send suggestions
