TWO GOOD RECIPES.

Dear Woman's Page: This is my
first attempt to write to any paper.
My husband takes both OF The
Jeffs, and we both enjoy reading
them so much, for there is so much
good derived from them. l like Mrs.
Lees letter on kindness. If husband
and wife were kind to each other as
they should be they would under
stand much better how to teach kind
ness to their dear children. While
some mothers think their children
can grow up and then learn kindness
after they are grown. Mothers
should read one chapter of their BIZ
BILE every day if they don't have time
to read any more and read it to their
children, and those that are large
enough teach them to read a chapter
for themselves, and mother should
explain it to them as best she can.
Boys should be taught to grace the
table while they are small and then
after they are grown they won't
feel so ashamed if they are ever
called on to grace the table of their
friends.

WANTS TO EXCHANGE IDEAS.
Hampton, Ga.

Dear Woman's Page: We take
The Weekly Jeffersonian and are
very much interested in the work
Mr.. Watson is doing; / think Mr..
Watson is the greatest man in the
South, and has no superior in the
United States.
am also very mucn interested in
the woman's page. We should, more
of us, take advantage of the oppor-
tunity so kindly given us by Mr..
Watson, to exchange ideas that will
be helpful to each other. I have ben
Gifted from our page, especially
from those letters containing rec
ipes and helpful hints to housekeep-
eFs.
"a Subscriber" of Leesville, S. c.,
asks for way to keep cucumbers
without sealing them. l will give my
way. Make brine that will float
an egg. Wash and dry cucumbers
with cloth, put in brine and cover
to keep we'll under brine. They will
keep nicely. Before using, soak four
or five hours in water, changing the
water two or three times, put in vim
egar and in a short time they are
ready to serve.
Best wishes for the success of Mr..
Watson and the Woman's page.

ANOTHER TRIED AND TRUE REC
IPE FOR PICKLES.

Dear Mrs. Lee: We have been
taking The JEFF for some time. I en-
joy reading the Woman's Page and
Sunny South brotherhood. Every
thing in The JEFF is interesting.
Some of the ladies called for a
recipe for saving cucumber pickles
and I am sending one l have used
for nine years. If made as follows,
pickles will keep ten years.
Make a Lrine of salt water to bear
up an egg. Put in piece of alum
size of nutmeg to a gallon of brine.
Boil and skim it and pour hot over
the cucumbers. Let it stand until
cool, then pour off. Boil enough
vinegar to cover the pickles. Spice
it to taste; pour it over hot, first
adding a small piece of alum. In two
days they are ready to eat.
Egg custard recipe for two GUS
tards: Four eggs, separate, take
yolks beat until light, add heaping
teaspoon of flour, three tablespoons
of sugar, one pint of fresh milk, stir
well, pour on crust, place in stove.
While they are baking beat whites to
stiff froth, add a small cup of sugar
and flavor. When custards are done
remove from stove, cover with
whites, place in stove until a light
brown, which takes only few min
utes.
Wishing The Jeffs much success.

Did any of the sisters ever make an
Irish potato pudding, if not try
one. 1t is fine. Here is the recipe:
Take six or eight potatoes, boil them
with the peel on them until tender;
peel them, mash them fine, add one
and one-half cup sugar, one cup
sweet milk, good sized piece of but
ter, flavor with lemon; put in oven
and cook long time but slow.

A PRETTY BABY CAP.

Take pretty handkerchief and
lay it out smooth on level surface,
then turn one of the edges back two
inches and sew a pretty rosette of
baby ribbon on the two corners and
let piece of ribbon hang down to
tie under the chin. Gather the back
and the cap is finished.
This makes a very pretty cap, and,
as you see, is almost no trouble at
all to make.-Clipped.

is often in need of it. They got old
Dobbin down there all right, did all
of the catering on the list, and then
some, and faced homeward when old
Dobbin seemed to feel that his good
nature had been imposed upon and
refused to stir. Whereupon all of
the business district of Waynesboro
manifested it's willingness to help
on a gooG cause, and shopkeepers
and shoppers alike came pouring
out from All the stores, Offering to
help push or pull him to his desti-
nation.
Among the many beautiful places
which have been visited by different
members of the party are Natural
Bridge, Staunton, Luray Caverns, the
beautiful Owsley Mansion, the Royal
Orchards, owned by Mr.. Fred w.
Scott of Richmond, Virginia, and
Humpback Mountain, while Waynes-
boro, Basic and Alton are visited
daily for the mail.
Just a stones throw FROM the main
cottage at Mountain Top the New
macadamised Washington to Atlanta
Highway has been built, and over it
daily pass any number of automo-
biles, many of them bearing the
Georgia registration signs, and one
or two of them containing parties of
Atlanta people, some of whom diff
ferent members of the crowd rec
ogniZed, and, as everybody knows,
there is hardly a more pleasing SEN
sation one can have than TO unex-
pectedly run across a familiar face
in place far distant from home.
Many pleasant visitors have charm
ed away some Of the hours Of per-
iod that will be full of happy mem
cries for each and every one of us.
Mr.. w. S. Rhodes was here one after
noon last week, and pointing down
the road that lies in front of the
main cottage told us that at a point
not far down it, the first Yankee
made prisoner in the Civil War,
was captured, and he sail that being
then a little boy, he wanted to run
all the way from his fathers plan
tation (about two or three miles
distant) in order to see what sort of
thing a Yankee was.
In day or two, most of US will
begin to scatter to our various homes
and it is safe to say that the neces-
sity for breaking up the party is a
matter of regret to us all, while all
of us are full Of appreciation to our
hostess for having given us a most
delightful summer-one which has
built up tired nerves and tissues, and
made it seem JOY to go back to our
accustomed places, renewed and re-
freshed, to do whatever our hands
find to do. ONE OF THE GUESTS.

Girls Dress with or without Tucker.
For cool days a guimpe or tucker
will finish this frock satisfactorily,
while for warm weather the short
sleeves and round neck will be most
desirable. Any of the materials now
in vogue will develop the design
suitably. AS here shown blue linonr
was used with a simple finish of
stitching and a black belt for con-
trast and ornamentation. The Pat
tern is cut in sizes: 4, 6, 8 and 10
years. 1t requires 4 IL yards of "a

the dress and 1 IA yards of 80 inch
material for the tucker.

Valley from a point of van
tage at the top of one of the
peaks, one mile and half from
Alton, and about three miles from
Basic and Waynesboro, directly over
the Blue Ridge tunnel of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, lies the
one time mecca of summer pilgrims
from Richmond, and other towns in
the South, known as Mountain Top,
who year after year sought refresh
ment in the mountain breeZes and
delightful mineral water, and to
charm the eye and calm the spirit
by much gazing upon the wide
stretches of undulating valley and
out on every side, reminding one of
the pillows of the ocean.
In 1899 the faithful few who had
annually returned to their beloved
mountain top, were denied the priv
ilege Of being COOKERS on in Venice"
by reason of the burning of the no.
tel, and year or two later Mr.. Wat
son CHANGING to pass through the
valley of Virginia was SO impressed
with the beauty of the situation,
that he Immediately purchased the
place for a summer home. Since
that time every summer, some mem
Der of his family has entertained
with a house party dt this magnif1-
cient place as many of their friends
as would journey from Georgia and
other points.
This year his daughter, Mrs. Oscar
S. Lee is acting as hostess for very
happy and congenial party composed
of Mrs. John c. Lee, Mr.. J. Clinton
Lee, Mr.. Boutwell, Lee, and Master
Raymond Lee, of Augusta, Georgia;

views from various angles that they
are glad TO walk while and ride

surrounding points of interest.
Upon these various excursions, the

Virginia is famed, has been found
