For the flowers to feast upon,
And he that is faint and weary
And he who is winter-worn
Nav know that His south wind blow
eth
The cold from His Easter Morn.
From The American Missionary for
Dear NJ B. Friends:
Isn't the poem lovely "spring
song" and isn't the word winter
worn" in the last stanZa especially
significant to many? Perhaps the
short days of winter never seemed
long, or it's long evenings wearisome.
1t may be you kept CHEEKY, and did
not get lonely; but there may be
some reading the column, who real
ize the truth of the lines
"And he that is faint and weary,
And he who is winter worn"
and they find the spring has come
once more, as a dear friend writes
me in a personal letter, How l love
to get out in the woods and watch
the new life shooting out on every
hand-all typical of hope and I'M
mortality"
Dear Aunt Madge and M. B. Sisters:
Methinks that few weeks ago
heard nv name called. I did not
answer present. but have thought
every day since that l would get BUSY
But the days come and go, and SICK
ness and housekeeping keep one SO
busy. that good intentions are forgot
ten. Nevertheless, here I am.
Now don't you all think it is too bad
to have the cold weather hang on so
long? I do, and shall be SO glad when
it gets warmer.

ont in the brooder house. and two mems
setting and believe me it keeps one
mighty busy.
I was in Bar Harbor at the nay
seeder's ball" in February, and saw
Narcissus and her John, and heard him
sing his "Alice Blue" song. 1t was
some song, I'll say.
Would like to hear from Aunt Sue
Wonder if she has forgotten all her
old friends. Also Aunt Maria and all
the Others who have not written for so
long. I want to know Aunt Fanny;
hope we will meet some time.
Well, / went to grange last night
and do enjoy going very much. Want
to go to East Bluehill to county grange
next Saturday. but am fearful that l
won't get there. Norman is away, and
also the older son. and the old car sits
in the yard All l can do is to look at
it, and that doesn't get me anywhere,
AS l can't write anything bright or
witty, and I'd much rather read what
others write, will let them have the
rest of the space to fill. I am ever
present, even if don't write.
Best wishes to Uncle and Aunt
Madge and all the sisters AS ever,
Jennie"
Yes, Jennie, your name was called,
and your response is very welcome.
Think how alone | should have been
this week ii it hadn't been for you.
l was sorry to hear that 81. o. IT,"
of our column suffered paralytic
shock April 20, which affected her
left side. She had slightly improved
May 2. We hope she may regain her
usual strength again soon.
From american Cookery" fur
nished by Edwina, | give some quo
tations
A COMPLETE MENU FOR BREAK
FAST.
Sliced oranges, poached eggs, muf-
fms. In these three foods we have
complete and well-balanced break
fast. You will, if you wish, serve
coffee or some other warm beverage.
You may like butter or marmalade,
or both with your mullins; you may
slip a slice of toast under your
poached egg; or you may nave
cereal course with cream and sugar.
But, whether you do or not, provided
the oranges, eggs and mullins form
the largest part of the breakfast, the
meal will be well-balanced.
The food value of bananas is about
the same as sweet potatoes. They
furnish heat and energy, but do not
build muscular tissue. Raw bananas
are apt to be found indigestible by
some persons, and are better If light
ly scraped after peeling; that is,
scraped enough to remove the
'fuzz." Also, while banana that
has blackened in spots should not be
eaten, the banana with the black
ened skin, provided that the inside
fruit is white, is far the wholesomest,
since it is thoroughly ripened. The
