Deer Assf Aadee,
You see am trying to illustrate the old
saying-"when the drought is broken, Il
rains continually" FIRST don't write at
all; then all the time. lam having more
leisure than usual this winter, 30 once
in . while 1 find time for things I
like to do. These days, when we are more
or less shut in by the cold and the .'biix-
xardy" snow storms that come so fire.
, quentiy, furnish opportunity to finish Oh
odds and ends Of work that ordinarily
one doesn't get time for, and also allows
little more time Tor reading.
Our grange has secured the use OF
travelling library, and re enjoy the books
/ have had so far. poems OF Eugene Field,
The Old Order Changeth" and the first
volume OF the Stoddard Lectures I hope
to get all the lectures, they are so fne and
the p,ctures are almost equal to seeing the
places for ones self. The first volume is
devoted to Norway, Switzerland, Athens
and Venice, and We slmost felt o. il we
really had travelled. A most comfortable
and inexpensive way to travel, too.
] have acquired recently the Bangor
Grange Cook Book. and am trying the rec
ipes, now and then, and a. usual thought
OF the column ~ Q medium for passing
them ON. OF course they are all practical
and tested, being those in use in the homes
OF the various members.
And that reminds me OF "Aunt Madge's
Cook Book
1t seems to me 1t 10 time that that should
be added to and enlarged, with some OF
the many recipes sent in since it was
printed.
The dried apple cake 10 . family recipe,
and very good. think II one couldn't
get the dried applss, that grssn couid b.
used By cooking il slowly for soms time In
the syrap mentionsd. ! ssnd I'VE caks

ct once. EgrHHR.

P. s. Just As / started my letter, the
telephone began to ring. Three different
men called me to talk woman suffrage,
which will be decided for Ms Sept 10, 1917,
and to pledge their support and belief that
1t would win. Two were men OF whom 1
had no idea how they stood. Come on,
brothers, register yourselves for or against
in this free fight. All good folks differ in
opinion. DELL
