AS yet no ballad writer has appeared
in America that rivals Kipling or the
pre-eminent Burns. The product we
have from professed ballad singers Is
mediocre. But out in the far corners
Of the land there are to be found the
folk songs, true ballads whose au-
thorship will never he known. The
course of our national development
and the inherent romance of the
fields and forests has inspired the or
binary Tyre to lofty songs. And the
life Of isolated communities and the
common if narrow interests Of the
men who work in gangs under all
sorts of dangers have given rise to
song and chant that SAVIOR of the
blood. The English department Of
harvard university has commissioned
John A. Lomax, associate professor in
College Station, Tex, under the Shell
don fellowship. to gather together
these typical ballads. The old COW
boy ditties, the chanteys Of the coast.
the gulf and the great lakes are what
he wants There are also army
songs. lumberjack chants, the songs
Of voyageur, miner and vagabond.
All these serve to characterize viYidly
life that is passing. And It may be
that thorough search will reveal un-
suspected treasures.

are classified according to the way
In which the shortening Is worked
into the -four: "a Plain or chopped
paste, (2) pun paste. and (S) naky
paste. In the first kind the shorten

knife or with the tips OF the fingers
and the water then added. In the
second the shortening used is butter

rolling The faky paste is made by
combining the two methods.
Some cooks use ice water to mix
all pastes, others use this only for
puff pastes Some use water at about
the temperature of the room In which
the work is done-a room with
cool and dry atmosphere-but some
old-fashioned cooks who make the

tepid water for the mixing.

Perhaps the two most famous how-

Temple Gardens at London. for ac-
cording to tradition 1t was in the gar

plucked the red and white roses which
became the badges Of the rival houses
Of Lancaster and York
The gardens we're for centuries IA
nous for their roses. Among their
floral curiosities one finds in the ac-

the custom Of trimming box trees in

meat is SO high. A family OF four or
five will have as wholesome dinner
for about 20 cents as roast beef at 25
cents pound Apple sauce and
mashed potatoes are an addition to
this meat
Another way of using heart Is to cut
slices crosswise about an inch thick

slice, and the bits trimmed from the

SURPRISE FOR THE VISITOR
Maggie Remembered Her Lesson and

How to open the door and receive
visitors properly was the first lesson
taught green Maggie. fresh from a

practical Maggie and her mistress took
turns IN going outside and ringing the
bell and presenting card Maggie
took a childish delight in this peek
aboo social game. and at the end of
each experiment she said: did do
It right that time, maam?"
But for long time it wasn't right.
Each time did ! do It right?" was
answered with a despairing No"
AT last her mistress said: Yes. !
guess you will do now. ! do hope
Mrs Brown won't find many faults in
you."
In less than an hour after the sign
Of approval had been put upon Mag
gie's behavior, Mrs. Brown called.
One glance at her card assured Mag
gle that she was the social arbiter
whose criticism her mistress feared.
V':th all her heart she wanted to
make good.
She stepped outside, closed the
door. and rang the bell Mrs. Brown,
being alone and not knowing what
else TO do, opened the door. Maggie
stepped In and presented Mrs. Browns
card.

There Is that in the sea life which
can ennoble the toughest material,
though, as Fielding observes, the
sailor should be seen on his own deck
and not ashore, where. owing to the
too sudden relaxation of the discipline
that is his daily portion, he is not seen
at his best. The seaman is born, not
made. He Is none the worse for
having run away to sea, for any little
Irregularities In his character will
speedily be tanned by life before the

one. chafes against the narrow limits
Of the village and even suffocates in
the wider streets Of cities. His eyes

How to Utilize Waste Paper

One OF the most common forms OF
waste in this country is that Of pa
pers. We are complaining constant
ly OF our rapidly disappearing for
ests and are seeking new methods
of conserving them, and vet. at the
same time, continue to waste the
product OF that timber with pro-
digality that is equaled in nothing
else. Our streets and backwards
are covered with old newspapers
and fragments Of paper OF other
quality until we become ashamed OF
them and spend a few moments
watching a bonfire get rid of the
accumulation OF months. The
pract cal, sensible and economical
thing to do would be TO carefully
gather this paper into receptacles
and ship it back to SONS paper mill,
whore it may be again turned into
paper fit for use.
The city OF Cleveland. O., has a
thorough system of gathering waste
paper which is attended by small
profit to the city itself. to say moth.
ing Of the better appearance OF the
city when free from debris Of this
character. The city has something
like 20, 900 bags, one OF which is
left with each family. Into these
bags is placed all the the waste
paper about the home. Once weel
a collector calls, takes the filed bag
away and leaves another one. The
paper is carried to a central point
where it is baled for shipment Il
the paper mill. The ccst to TIT
city of collecting this waste papel
is So a ton and the paper is sold 70
50. 40 a ton.
