French Knots Again.

For the woman who delights in
French knots 1t will be welcome news
that monograms and initials in solid
French knots are now used. Old Eng

than the script, when embroidered in
the knots, but both are effective. Try

not considered so tedious to make as
those in satin stitch.

THE FITTING PRAISE TO THEE

Who know our hearts give way to Thee
Surely at last in secret depths though protest long

And that to live is wonder
With worlds above and under

Lord God. the fitting praise to Thee
Rather would seem to raise to Thee
Only pure honesty of mind waiting Thy stalwart

Like as the hills believe Thee,
Like the seas receive Thee,

Thee and are still!

STARTING THE OPEN
FIRE In AUTUMN
Dry Fuel and Good Draft Are First
Two Essentials to Good
Blaze.

When the first cool days of autumn
come, the open fire claims much of the
affection and attention of the household,
for nothing else is so cheerful. so COM
Portable, and so beautiful to look upon
as fire of logs cracking on the hearth,
or of glowing Goals burning in d crate.
There are some women and some men.
as well, who think they do not know
how to light a fire: so, If they want to
be warm or want to be cheerful or want
TO watch the cracking fire, they must
needs to wait for some one more skllful
than they to build it.
Doubtless there are some persons who
cannot build a fire, just as there are
some who cannot make geraniums grow
and some others whose cakes always
fall in the baking. But most persons.
if they will take the trouble to learn
thing or so about the chimney where
they are building a fire, and about the
ways of fires in general, will find them
selves able TO master the art of fire.
making.
Every one knows, of course, that a
draft is one of the first essentials for a
good fire; dry fuel is another. So see
to it that you have them both at hand.
Even a poor chimney can be made to
harbor a good fire. If its drawing pow
ers are not good. coax the fire past the
| smoking state. Don't burn an atwood
fire, but establish a glowing bed of
Goals, and rest assured that the poor
draft will prove sufficiently strong to
carry of the coal gas and the little
smoke that the coal gives of.
To Start SmokeIess Fire.
Often even a good chimney smokes
when the fire is first built, because the
chimney is cold and damp. If you are
sure that there is a substantial layer of
fireproof construction between the CHM
ney and any framework about the house
light a crumpled sheet of newspaper and
thrust it as far up the chimney as you
can reach. Light half a dozen of these
in succession and you will have the CHM
ney warm enough to start a smokeless
fire.
On a damp day this same newspaper
warming process might be used to ad-
vantage. as much moisture and damp
ness collect in the chimney in fogs and
rains.
There must always be room for air to
circulate under and behind the fire. II
you have andirons your task is simple.
Simply place the logs so that room is
left behind them for the air to circulate,
the andirons hold them high enough TO
let the air circulate under them. II there
are no andirons and no coal basket
a very good fire of logs can be built
in coal basket-lay two stout sticks
like andirons and build the fire on these.
Have plenty of klndling-paper, shaw
iHgs, excelsior. dry sticks, pine knots. or
chips-and let this get well lighted be-
fore you pile on logs or coal

WASHINGTON PIE.
A Favorite Recipe Of Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson,.

Old fashioned Washington pie is the
original recipe used many generations
g in Philadelphia and Washington.
Beat the yolkS of six eggs as stiff as
possible. add to these three cupfuls of
finely Sifteu tlOur in which two tea
SpOOnfulS of cream of tartar have been
mixed; add two cupfuls Of fine gran
ulated sugar and beat vigorously. then
all the whites of the six eggs that have
been whipped till they will stand alone.
Again beat vigorously and then at the
very last add four teaspounfuls of
sweet milk in which Il te%aSpoOnful OF
cooking soda has been dissolved.
Again beat for about three minutes and
then bake in shallow jelly cake tins in
4 quick oven. 1t will be found to be
as light as air. For the filling of the
rake II may use jam, jelly, cream
charlotte or chocolate. The original
filling was cream charlotte. which was
made as follows: Take Il pint of milk
and before setting it on the fire to boil
have ready two eggs with the yolkS
and whites beaten stiff separately and
then beaten together. AS soon as the
milk commences to boil add the eggs
and one cupful of sugar and one cup
full of flour. Stir until it t%hickens.
