HOT CROSS BUN RECIPES


 Hot Cross buns have been associated with Good Friday for generations, and many family cherishes as carefully as the recipe for the Christmas plum pud- ding the one for these buns. There are, of course, yerious ways of making them, but most buns have certain similarity in flavor.
 The following recipe for Hot Cross buns is one that has been followed for many years in an English family, and it may be vouched for as excellent:
 Take a eupful and a quarter of milk and add to it a quarter of cupful of lard and butter mixed Put on the stove where it will get warm but not co ok; ; when the butter is melted remove from the stove. Sift four cupsful of flour and cupful of sugar together; then add a half q teaspoonful of salt and half nutmeg grated. Stir in the milk next, and then two eggs well beaten when all these ingredients are blended, add half a yeast cake dissolved in tepid water. Let the mixture rise over night. Work into flat cakes the next day outlining a cross with entrants on top of each bun Place the buns in a pan, leaving half an inch between them; let them rise for two hours and then bake

If the storm is especially bad
 the dry rosemary and olive branches arc taken down and burned, which has the effect of making the storm depart or sub side. The custom of burning consecrated rosemary and olive branches to appease the fury of a storm Is an ancient Span- ish rite which has all but died out. It is still believed in and practiced how ever, by many old people living in lone ly and out of the way corners of Spain.

Good Sort of Religion

To be able to look every man souareIy Tn the eyes; to make friends and hold them; to keep clean of mind and body. to smile at ill fortune; to laugh at my mistakes; to be ready with word of cheer when that word will help; to strive to develop to the utmost the heart, head and hand qualities endowed by the Ruler over All; to hold all women in respect and to love one; to weave the thread of Eternal Optimism into the lives of all with whom I may come in contact: to worship Nature and the Great Spirit that conceived 1t all-in word, to play ,ae game of life with steady hand and a Qualmless conscience and a real desire to be of service-that is my religion. And say-if I can live up to the mark, don't you think I've carroled about all the creed that is ecessary?-Jerome F. Fleishman.

When Grand Aunt Danced
 With Lafayette
Margaret E. o'Brien Davis.

By Margaret E. O'Brien Davis. To cedar chest, in a shadowy hall, Past door unopened for many year, Thro' cobweb, film and dust over all, Great grandaunt's namesake has wan
 dered here; And vandal youths unsparing hand Turns quick the cover and back the lid, Unties each tape and canvass band, With little ruth for the secrets hid. Like restless heart, or soul disturbed, Or perhaps the past, srude sset astir, perfume comes, as of roses herbed, Wilh perhaps a hint of lavender. Young fingers deftly shake out folds Of silks and satins, and rare brocade, And a mantle ahame with reds and
 golds-
 That never a modern weaver made. Rosetted slippers and siken hose, And broken fan, with a stick of pearl, That long had forgot twas meant to
 close,
 Since it's owner bade it's plumes unfurl, And last of all is a lowered gown On a faded paper-"Margaret Wore this, when she danced at Wynd-
 ham town,
 At the governors ball, with LaFayette." "A line-and the years are spanned in a
 breath;
 And the petticoat falls to the dusty floor And grandaunt, long asleep in death, Floats into my dreams, a girl once
 more. HIutocrat. to her finger tips. Sad in the gown with its riot of bloom, Her grave sweet eyes and her tender
 lips
 The bravest things in the shadowy
 room.
  Each flower is bright in the rich brocade: Nor rent. nor stain in the priceless lace, And a smile too tender and grave to fade, Like a benison, lights the fresh, fair
 face;
 And tucked in her breast, Is yellow
 glove,
 To large for any but cavalier, But small enough for a token of love That love itself hath hushed to hear. Back to the past the vision pales; And denser the shadows by contrast
 grow
 But I sit by the chest with its cobweb
 veils
 And dream of this Margaret of long
 ago.
 For a glove has dropped from the cor
 sage gay
 But never it's mate; and 1t tells me all- And I know why she put the dress away She wore that night at the governor s
 hall

The banquet was prepared by the
Country club chef and was of course
delectable meal At its conclusion the
president, DR.. Francis f.. Shine OF BIS

his subject

Wise and Otherwise and took his
text from q letter written BY Macauley

with the notable writer at various
points and pointed to American history
in defense of his arguments. Also he
described at some length the differ
Iences between conditions in this coun-
try and in European countries. which
have some warrant for the great Eng
lishman's opinions.

knowledge of the medical men of those
days and the present as well as some
mention of the handicaps of the doctors
of the earlier days.
