There's a Mother Old and
Gray

l think every other person in the
city sent in the words of "There's
a Mother Old and Gray Who Needs
Me Now" One person even sent in
a sheet of music, which I will be
glad to give you, Katherine, IL you
will call for it.
Thank you, contributors.
Here are the words:
AS the golden sunbeams shone in
all their glory,
On the river where the waterfall
les grow.
There two sweethearts true were
whispering loves old story,
Gently gliding in a little birch
canoe;
Then Jack said, Dear why are you
hesitating?
You say you love me, I don't UNI
derstand,"
But she answered, Lad for me
please don't be waiting,
Tho I'd like to go with you to
Maryland.
AS the twilight shadows fell upon
the clover,
Down the pathway strolled these
lovers hand in hand;
When they reached the low-roofed
cottage Jack said, Mother,
Come with us dear, to our home
in Maryland.
Your little girl will be my queen
forever,
And sweetest fiow'rs will always
bloom for you:
For today as we were gliding down
the river,
Jennie darling said these words
with hearts SO true.
CHORUS. ~
| There's a mother old and gray
who needs me now.
Time has brought deep burrows
to her once fair brow;
Though so fond of you
I've grown, yet / can't leave her
alone;
1t would only cause her head in
grief to bow,
Jack to me you've always been so
kind and true,
And you know I've ever faithful
been to you,
Though this parting brings re-
greet,
Still my heart must not forget,
There's mother old and gray
who needs me now.

teor dress? MRS. STELLA w.
Place the stained portion over a
bowl and pour boiling water on the
spots from a kettle held high
enough to permit the stream to
strike with force. If this takes out
the color sponging with ammonia

Steamed Ginger Pudding

Z One breakfast cup of flour, one or
bread crumbs, one-half cup of beef
suet chopped very fine. one tea
spoonful of ground ginger, half
pound of molasses, half cup milk,
half teaspoonful baking soda. Mix
all the dry ingredients together,
warm the molasses and milk to-
gether, mix the soda well IN
little of the milk in cup. Grease
a mould well with lard, pour mix
ture in, cover with wax paper.
Steam three hours Serve with a
white sauce. Lemon pudding is
made the same, using two lemons
instead of molasses; also jam pud-
ding. using one cupful jam instead
of molasses.
The same contributor gives us
couple of hints
Here they are:
To boil milk without fear of hav-
ing 1t burn
Put three tablespoonfuls of water
in saucepan. Let it boil rapidly
for two or three minutes. Add the
milk and it will not burn, no mat
ter how fierce the fire is.
When cooking cabbage add one
pinch of soda as soon as the water
boils. And add the salt five min
utes before serving. If salt is add
ed before the cabbage is cooked it
will make 1t tough.

White dresses or underwear that
have bad color should first be
soaked in cold water to which
little ammonia has been ><ded and
then given a lemon bleach.

boiled up in the boiling pot or pan.
When at full boiling point. put In the
muslin or linens and boil for twenty
minutes.
