Encore Cookies!

We agree with a friend of ours,
GA part of every child's education
should be cookies-Crisp, whole
some cookies.
Of course, if you have been
using butter for cookies you may
think that cookies, are somewhat
of luxury nowadays.
But you can now make deliciousIy
crisp cookies by using economical
Cottolene instead of using expensive
butter And notice this, too - one
third less of wholesome Cottolene than
you would use of butter
Many careful housekeepers have found
that Cottolene because of its superior rich
ness, goes much farther than other shortcomings
which they had been using.
Below is a recipe that shows how TO make
cookies that even expensive butter might be
proud of. Try it and see if your children
aren't tickled with these delicious Cottolene
cookies. See if you aren't delighted with the
money-saving.

cups sugar
eggs
l level teaspoon soda

level teaspoon salt

ing was we'll attended, nearly every
branch being represented. The pro-
gram was opened by Rev. o. T. And
derson, on the Red Cross and its mis-
sion Mrs McRoberts. Mrs. Edwards
and Mrs. e. j. Ostrander gave short
talks on the progress and future ac-
tivities of the chapter. Superinten-
dent Blue gave an interesting talk on
the Junior Red Cross. DR.. Wilson
gave an outline of a new and efficient
county organization. Reports from
the various branches were given, fol-
lowed by a general discussion. The
following branches were represented:
Berger Curry, HOLSTER, Rogerson,
Hansen, Kimberly, Rock Creek, Com
munity, Hazelton, Eden, Pleasant
View, Filler, Murtaugh, Bickel and

At this point the Rambler means
to turn back for moment to Ludwell
Lee Of Belmont, bit Of the Goose
Creek series covered in a previous
ramble. In that story it was told
that Ludwen Lee married twice. His
first wife was his cousin Flora,
daughter of Philip Ludwell and Eliza
beth Steptoe Lee of Stratford. That
marriage was solemnized in 1883. His
second marriage, which was in 1907,
was to Elizabeth Armistead, daugh-
ter OF Bowles Armistead, whose wife
was born Mary Fontaine. Ludwell
Lee lived for time at Shooters Hill,
the height on the west side of Alex
andria, before he removed to Lou
doun county. His first wife died at
Shooters Hill, and her monument was
visible there until that hill was taken
possession Of by Union forces in May,
1861. The children Of Ludwell Lee
and wife were Richard Henry, Ce-
ella and Elizabeth Matilda. Cecilia
Lee married James l.. McKenna,
widower living at Clarens, an old and
beautiful home little west Of Alex

When the Rambler walked along the
railroad track from the little station
of Belmont Park to the edge of the
deep valley in which the tall red
stone piers stand he saw that on the
right hand rose a high hill, on the
crest Of which was a deserted and
ruinous house. A great section of
that hill has been blown out by un-
NUMBERED blasts of dynamite and
been translated into Washinrton
streets and good roads in the environs
OF the capital. 1t Is q quarry, and was
