TN THE time Of long ago our
4 granddad nurtured and kept free
of the woodman's ak the maple tree I;
because he knew full well that shortly
after the winter closes and just be-
fore budding time he could reap a
wonderful harvest of maple sap,
which could be quickly turned into
sugar to repay him for his trouble.
Today many of these groves have
fallen before the axe of civilization.
The Yoodsman feels that his needs
are greater than those of us who
crave the natural sweets.
Almost in sight of Lake Erie, in
Geanga County, Ohio, the farmers
have preserved their maple groves.
This wonderful maple district, as
well as those of New England and
the western states, gives us a supply
of this deliciously favored sugar.
= Up in the Vermont woods, along
about March, the natives keep their
weather eye open for the first indi-
cation of the breaking of winter.
This is the time the first sap begins
to run. The experienced woodsmen
know very we'll the first heavy run
carries the most sugar So the
sugar from the first run is almost
golden in color, because the first sap
is the lightest in color. From then
on the color and quantity of the sap
steadily decreases, until the buds
begin blooming; at this time the sap
usually takes bitter flavor and is
unfit for sugaring.
Just about the time the sap be-
gins to flow, the air softens into
gentle southern breezes; the wood
pecker begins drumming and the
blue jays and crows are cawing
their first spring love notes from the
xboughs of the trees.
Sugar making in Vermont means
early rising. There are chores to
do and like as not snow to be SHOW
eled. The evaporation must be set
up and a roaring fire started. Every
thing must be scrupulously clean.
Buckets and containers that hold the
sap are secured and rinsed and are
then ready to receive the golden
liquid.
The whole family must lend a
hand now, for as the men folk tap
the trees the children hang the buck
cts on the spouts. These buckets
must be watched, and as soon as
hey are full, they are taken to the
,t,vaporator or boiler, where the
process Of boiling or sugaring COM
mences.

Dear Cynthia-That nurse who is
lamenting her loneliness may learn that
lonely as she is. but who, for the sake
OF self-respect and decency, restrain
themselves.
Not all men care 10 make a hobby of
idle and foolish talk, flckleness. raillery
and social and civic activities of city
life.
I have always lived in the country
and the change from a quiet, pleasant
country home to city life is far from
congenial to my temperament.
I do not care a snap for society, the
movies, theatres, cabarets or dances.
For. several years had very nice
business in the city, but at the closing
hour my first thought was my home.
My only companion now is a book or
the daily papers. I like to go to good
entertaining shows, but merely become
disguised with the slanderous and i'm
modest array of personalities.
My qualification Is that I could meet
to contine their talks and discussions
to the more noble and elevating matters
OF happenings and events.
II must be evident to persons of free
social liberties that often their absence
from home causes undue hardship and
inconvenience 10 others.
This nurse Is no doubt aware of the
l
claim to be professional who can barely
make ends meet for their clothes and
living quarters.
They are the cabaret kind. And the
men who are so very popular with the
same class usually have a well-drained
| bank account.

The Learners

o little feet. unused to weight and
burden,
o little legs, uncertain, timorous,
We smile as we behold our faint
successes,
Your doubtful stumbling seems so
vain to us.
Each three steps journey is a wild
adventure,
And perils lurk in floor and carpet
spaces,
Far from the sheltering chair and
couch, and farther
The passage here to havening
arms and faces.
But still you dare-for life is spun
of daring;
And step by step your earnest
journeys lengthen.
As mastery grows out OF careful
seeking,
As little legs and little purpose
strengthen.
We smile and hardly think Of long
days coming
When you will walk with firm
and careless trust,
Watching. perhaps, more little feet

Long after we who smile are

In large groves teams, and some
times oxen. are used to haul the sap.
The boiling Of the sap in the open
kettle. except in small communities,
as given way TO the evaporation
process, which not only prepares the
sirup in more uniform way, but
also does it in less time. which is a
marked contrast to the lengthy old
fashioned way.
This method leaves nothing to
chance. A hydrometer is used to
gauge the density of the sirup and
if it is to be marketed as maple
sirup, the gauge must register
three degrees; it is then drawn off
into cans which are hermetically
sealed and then you have the de-
licious maple sugar that delights the
heart of every epicure.
If sugar is to be made, the heat
is now reduced and the sirup is
cooked until it reaches the crystalliz-
ing stage. Then it is poured into a
brick-shaped mold. This product
is vastly superior to the old-fash-
ioned open kettle sirup and sugar
of the Colonial days.
How to Use Maple Sirup and Sugar
Surely very few of US need an in
PRODUCTION to the delicious golden
maple favored sirup that gives real
zest to our hot cakes, mullins, pud-
dings and sauces. And many of US
know the delicious honey desserts
that can be made with this product.
Try filling the center of apples that
are to be baked with maple sugar.
Frequently substitute maple suga r
in your recipes when making GUS
tard pie, gelatin and sweet doughs.
Maple Bisque
Use one cupful of maple sirup.
Heat the sirup to the boiling point
and then pour it on the yolks Of
two eggs. Beat constantly and then
let cool. Now beat the whites of
two eggs very stiff and add to them
One pint of 'chipped cream.

" omen Are for In

Dear Cynthia-"Ought a wife TO wash
the dinner dishes?' To me this seems
question that each individual should de-
eide for himself. Personally, although
married eight years, my husband says
he does not enjoy the evening paper II
am working in the kitchen, so We do
them together. Incidentally, we have
some of our most enjoyable chats while
doing the work. The great mistake some
women make is to take IL for granted the
help they get. instead OF showing their
appreciation each time assistance is rem
dercS.
For "Paurs" information would state
that for a real live woman the washing
of dishes does not involve such mental
strain 10 keep her out OF mischief. 1t is
very mechanical task, and ones
thoughts can roam far and wide while
doing the dishes, Nowadays il is just
as much a sacrifice for a woman to leave
a good business position to undertake
the management of home. as It Is for
a man to provide for two. so why not
both help with the monotonous dish
washing? EXPERIENCED.
