Have you ever observed that young
people of a certain age are always
eager to talk about the house they are
some day going to own? Not of a
home do they speak, that smacks too
much of sentiment, but of a house
And there are many plans and
schemes and ideas of architecture. 1t
may be a bungalow. it may be a
colonial home or it may be a Spanish
villa they dream of, but there is one
thing they all hove in common. The
chief feature, the most important thing
and the first mentioned, is always a
fireplace. A fireplace with a daven-
port before it and a table back of
the davenport-if a vote might be
taken it would be practically unani-
nous in declaring that that is the
most necessary thing to have The
kitchen may be cooped up and I'M
handy, the roof low and hot and there
might not even be a sleeping porch
but the fireplace must be there. Some
add a dog stretched before it-some
put book cases on either side and a
bright shaded lamp on the table. But
those are individual eccentricities, and
the open fire alone remains constant
in everyone's fancy. 1t is somehow
the symbol of all the things a home
should stand for-comfort, cheerful
ness, warmth, companionship, ideals,
and thru the penchant for the hearth
we see that even in this materialistic,
rapid, noisy age abides home instinct
which sometimes seems to be losing
out.

Every one is familiar with the story
of the two loaves and fishes which
fed 5000 people, but not every one
has heard of the one cake which fed
1000, and in the year 1919 at that.
1t happened at Cornell this spring,
when the semi-centennial of the col
lege was celebrated and the unveil-
ing of the Ezra Cornell statue. Alumni,
students and faculty to the number of
1000 sat down at dinner together. A
car load and a half of dishes were
used and 500 sheets made the table
cloth. But the cake is the most re-
markable thing. 1t was hauled to the
dining room on a truck, as it weighed
$50 pounds. 1t came in perfect con-
dition and was both beautiful and de-
licious. 1t was made in two sections
and was decorated with candles and
the Cornell colors. The recipe is as
follows:
To 26 pounds of butter and IS
pounds of other shortening, beat in
So pounds of sugar and So pounds of
confectioner's sugar. Add 100 pounds
of flour, Z quarts of milk and 80
dozen eggs with the whites beaten sep
arately, IL pounds of raisins, 1 quart
of favoring. a pound of baking pow
der. Beat together for Is minutes and
