Plan of Keeping House

You often beg housekeepers to tel their experiences as they do in class meet irgs. l have had for sometime what l call housekeeping plan in my mind. Fin ally concluded to try 1t myself, which I have done with gratifying success. would suggest that my fellow house mothers try it. I am making a change in it myself. That is why l am writing. want the scheme to be generally known. Many live in houses or apartments that will furnish only one room for help The plan is this. that an elderly woman occupy the one room, get breakfast and wash the dishes, and do the responsible bak- ing at home evenings, as such a person wishes to do the remainder of the work, such could be the case. Some other woman-in the vicinity could be hired to come in for washing, ironing, sweeping, care of children, etc. Let this girl get her breakfast and evening meal at home. This is a suggestion that may be useful. At least, I hope that it may.

 I refrain from expressing my own views upon the scheme laid down before us by our intelligent and ingenious correspond ent until 1 have heard from the fellow housemothers to whom her appeal is made. I should like to have as many opinions upon the subject as I can col- lect What do our practical housewives think of the proposed innovation upon established usages? Has our writer solved the prcbS\n of Amercan domestic serv- ice? I urgently invite a free expression of individual views

Some Dutch Receipts

You have asked several times for Dutch recipes, and received few Being Holland born, I have collected many val uable recipes used by Dutch 'hausfrauen, inclose two, taken from clippings yellow With age which pasted years ago in my homemade cook book. The first is for Dutch potcheese: Separate the curd from the whey in clabber the same as for mak- ing cottage cheese. When the curd is perfectly dry crumble 1t fine with the hands To a quart of this curd add one teaspoon of salt and mix thoroughly
 Place in an earthenware or granite dish cover tightly, and set aside to mellow or
 ripen, which requires from two to three days. During the mellowing process it will emit an odor-al its own-but it is no indication that it is spoiled. However care must be taken to keep 1t in dry place, or it may be ruined by becoming
 moldy. When it has melowed all the
 way through, pour it into a skillet in
 which four tablespoons of butter have been heated. Cook, stirring constantly,
 until 1t bubbles well and makes a smooth cream or paste; then pour into a mold. When cold it will be found that most of the disagreeable odor has left it. To make the sandwiches, spread the cheese
 thickly between the slices of (raised)
 rye graham, or white bread which have been slightly buttered. The other recipe isS for Dutch coffee cake: When making
 white, light bread, after the dough has
 raised the first time, cut off enough to
 make a medium sized loaf. Into this work smooth one unbeaten egg, one tea
 spoon of cinnamon, half cup each of but
 ter and strong coffee in which half tea
 spoon of soda has been dissolved, and
 one cup of sugar If desired, half cup
 each of raisins and entrants may be added, although it is good enough without.
 Use flour enough to make moderately stiff dough and set aside to raise After it has risen, knead well, mold it Into a
 long loaf, put in well buttered pan.
 grease the top of the loaf with butter, and again set it aside to raise After
 this raising prick the top with the prongs of silver work and bake. Just before
 taking from the oven moisten the top
 with sweet milk slightly, sprinkle with
 cinnamon and sugar, and let 1t remain in
 the oven for two or three minutes. When
 cold. slice like light bread. It keeps well. GRETA F. M.'
 I recognize the 'sroear kase" which I ate for the first time 30 years ago in the house of "Pennsylvania Dutch'' farmer. and liked amazingly. Will you not enrich our Corner with other clippings from the home made cookery manual?

Flaw in the Address

Tn recent issue of the Corner cor respondent signed Maria C. offers to give directions how to make corn portieres. l would be glad to know how to make them, and will be thankful to the friend who will be so kind as to teach me.
 NELLIE l.. F.''
 It is source of profound regret to me, as 1t will be disappointment to six cor respondents whose requests are the same in substance with that of Nellie l.. F. that there is a flaw in the address of the member who generously proposed to send typewriter directions for making corn portieres to any one wanting them. Will she serve and delight us by sending her full address-her name and the name of the city in which she lives, together with the street and number of her house? We are more anxious to establish communica- tion with her than she can imagine.

DOLLY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THE DIFFERENT
 PROBLEMS OF VACATION

Scores of vacation ideas are fitting g about in the air and the woman who contemplates a holiday has at least a liberal supply of suggestions to take with her.
 But
 Perhaps
 The best one-like all good ru1es--is the simplest:
 Take any vacation rather than-none.
 Throughout the entire year most of us look upon a man-made world, and the mind, the heart, and the eyes, need for a time the balm of green fields, the dignity of trees, the sky spaces over hill or sea. Not all of Us can have this. but there are few of us who cannot go back to Natures Inn for a day at time
