 The address has been sent to you direct ly, and dare say by this time the shut in has been rejoiced by your generosity. Let me thank you on my own account as we'll as on his. Thank you also for the apple sauce cake. To can mlncemeat you have only to make it boiling hot before you put it into the jars. and then seal at once. If you use a boiled cider mincemeat this is easily done; if you put in other liquor do this after the mincemeat has been brought to the boil and just before taking 1t from the fire. I am afraid don't know very inexpensive fruit cake, but the following is good if not actually cheap: Rub to q cream one cup of DOW dered sugar and a half cup of butter: beat In five whipped eggs; add half teaspoon zach of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace. and one cup of flour. Last, dredge and stir in quarter of pound of seeded raisins. quarter of a pound of entrants, and three tablespoons of shredded cit ron. Bake In one loaf steadily for an hour and a quarter.

Potato and Onion Soup.

Will some reader please give or loan a few different old fashioned patchwork quilt patterns? I will pay postage and will also furnish scraps for patterns to any one who wants them and can't get them. Here is 8 recipe for potato and onion soup which is much liked in our house on cold evenings and which serves for supper or for Night dinner. Peel and cut up two good sized potatoes and half an onion fine. Cook both for thirty min utes and then mash soft. If celery is liked stick of this minced fine may hs put in with the other ingredients. When all are mashed, pepper and salt should bs added to taste, pint of milk stirred in. and lump of butter the size of a wall nut. A CONSTANT READER"
 This recipe sounds as if 1t might in. deed make a good and savory soup for a cold night and with this to begin the meal heavy second course will hardls. be needed. The offer of scraps and thA request for patterns for patchwork quilts shall be put on file. I hope to receive as many applications for 1t on one account as on the other.

MORE ABOUT THE DUMB ANIMAL QUESTION.

stomach quite as much as of delicate men tai sensibilities rather think the stom- ach has more to do with 1t than the mind. Yet since the home is supposed to be run for the comfort of its human inmates it is well to defer to their preferences, espe- cially as there is no cruelty involved In feeding the dogs and cats at another time and place.
 I am also willing to concede the truth Of what my correspondent says concerning the inability of many unmarried women to take care of child. while perhaps they can manage to give 8 home to dog or cat. Far be it from mo to cavll at or to quarrel with the heart hunger which must satisfy itself by loving and tending dumb animal because it Is impossible to afford a human object of the affections None the less let me point out that in every city and town and in most small places there Is crying need for the help that single women can give in taking care of children, in making them happy. in bringing light and cheer into lonely childish lives. Every charitable institu- ton that has to do with children welcomes the assistance of intelligent workers. have known more single women than can count who have been veritable cen ters of joy and comfort to orphaned and deserted children and have fulfilled the Bible saying: More are the children of the desolate than of the married wife"
 Before spinster puts all her devotion into the custody of a dog or a cat would counsel her to look about her to see If there are not biped needs calling for her attention.
 While I think I have proved my will ingness to meet my critic more than half way I must take issue with her in her statement that the love of the mother is selfish. that she cares for child because it is hers aud she has no tenderness left to bestow upon the children of oth- CTS My correspondent acknowledges that there are rare exceptions to this rule My own observation leads me to believe that the state of affairs she de- scribes is the exception and the other the rule.
 l have been happy enough to be asso- ciated with mothers on the boards and committees of many charities, both for adults and for children. Always I have found that motherhood opens the heart to the needs of the little ones and that the possession of a child of her own moves woman to a tenderness toward desolate children. yearning to bring happiness and love into their lives which she never knew before the arrival of maternity.
 Here is matter on which would liko the judgment of the Cornerites. Does motherhood harden the heart against oth- CT children than ones own? Is the par ent of child more disinclined to offer a refuge to a homeless animal or to care for lonely children than the single woman or the ono who is chldless. This Is a question on which you all have opinions. What are they7

You sit in your tlnsled layhouse and weep OCT

 griefs are unheeded in song. You say that the same God made us: when
 before his throne you come, Shall you clear yourselves In his presence on
 the plea that he made us dumb? Are your hearts too hard to listen to starving

 Or too gay for the patient pleading in a dog 5

AppIe Sauce Cake.

A few days ago I saw a request from . shut-in for a shower of postcards, so 1 am today writing for his address. Being in position to secure many booklets and views of the Panama Pacific exposition. will gladly send him some, together with the postcards. This Is my first offer to the Corner but l have received great deal of help from it. l would like now to have recipe for good and inexpensive fruit cake. Will some one fin the Corner tell mo how to can mincemeat? In rather tropical part of the states 1t is hard to put the mincemeat in crock and keep 1t as we do In a colder climate. It soon ferments in q crock, but have seen 1t put up in jars.

ss N Nut Bread.

In looking over the names of the many kind and generous persons who have sent me magazines I am moved to write to the Corner. The answers to my letter far surpassed my fondest expectations. and my girls are delighted with what they have received and most grateful. 1 am sure most of the good people in the world must be associated with the Corner! l have never before received so many happy returns from one cent stamp. Win you accept recipe for nut bread which find most wholesome and delicious for my chill dren? Every one who ats 1t likes it. 1t is especially nice for cold lunch: Four and a half cups of graham flour, one and half cups of white flour. one cup of srup, three-quarters of cup of sugar, three cups of sweet milk six teaspoons of baking powder, one egg, one cup of nut meats, one teaspoon of salt. Mix we'll make into two loaves, and bake for forty minutes. I wish there were some other way in which I could show my apprecia- ton of all have received, and hope that some day such a way may be opened to me. MRS. F.. T. B.
 Although Mrs. F. T. E. has doubtless written to the friends who responded so generously to her appeal. am glad to put her letter here for the sake of those whose names she may~no have received. If 1 don't quite accept her theory that most of the good people in the world are asso- ciated with the Corner. yet hold the fervent opinion that a fair representation of them are on our roll of honor. We are glad to have her nut bread take 1t for granted that the nut meats are cut into small pieces and dredged with flour be- fore they are mixed with the dough. Eng fish walnut meats are especially good for this purpose.

Slice artichokes and peeled potatoes; dip all into egg, roli in flour or cornmeal. and fry in butter or boiling oil. Drain dry and serve on a hot dish. Three good sized potatoes and one or two articholSes will be sufficient. Should you wish to increase the size of the dish you can parboil aspair of calf's brains and a sweetbreaed, then slice and fry them with the other articles.

Neverthe- less it does not alter the point l tried to emphasize in my talk that not only are there places in the home where animals do not belong but also that the importance of human beings is greater than that of dogs and cats.
 I grant all that the correspondent says as to the bad manners of human beings at the table. l will go as far as she does in declaring that many time have eaten with men, women, and children who were far more obnoxious in their table habits than most well behaved cats or dogs. At the same time two wrongs do not make a right and because humans bring the demeanor of the pig sty to the dining room is no reason why the apartment should be made dog kennel It strikes me that the place for all such creatures is apart from the family at their respective feed ing times.

 As a matter of course. there is force in what the writer says on a number or points. and with the en-mindedness we try to cultivate in this Corner have printed her criticisms upon my own point of view as freely as I would have pub lished her commentators. l also make room for the tribute to the dog by Sena- tor Vest. She gives with it the statement of the circumstances in which it was de- livered.
 Years ago, in an old town of north Ms souri, man brought suit for $20o against a neighbor who had killed his dog, and engaged Senator Vest to plead his case The senator made the following remark able address-considered the finest classic gem of it's kind in the history of forensic oratory:
 Gentlemen of the jury: The best human friend a man has may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom We trust with our happiness and our name may become traitors to their faith. The money that man has he may lose.
