ILL DOG?
(From Mrs. C. B. D., Paeonian
Spings.)
am writing in behalf of friend
of mine who lives on an extremely
isolated farm in this section of
Northern Virginia. Her collie dog
has lost the use of his left hind
leg so that he can no longer walk,
falls and drags himself when he
attempts to walk. She has had
three doctors look at him and had
him x-rayed, no bones broken or
crushed, none seem to know the
cause of his trouble.
She is alone and very devoted to
him so cannot bear to have him put
to sleep. She wonders If any of
your readers have had similar ex-
perience with dog?
have long enjoyed this section
of The Star and hope to be able to
contribute to it.
do hope that some one can give
information to this lady.

WATERMELON PICKLE?
(From Mrs. w. A. r., McLean.)
About a year ago recipe for
watermelon pickle appeared in your
column, which called for oil Of
cloves and cinnamon instead of the
whole spices. I think it was soaked
overnight in lime water. 1t was
delicious pale green cubes, brittle
like ice. During a recent illness
some one seems to have destroyed
box I had with recipes, including
that one. I am well again and
would so like to make some. q I
would appreciate it so much if any
reader would send it in.

Justin Huntly McCarthy's book IF
I Were King" is the poem you
asked for, presumably written by
Francois Villon, who was the hero
of the tale.

Beneath k,aYou your feet R' what treasures would
The Htar; stars should be your pearls upon
The world "a iirsi ruby for your finger ring,
And you should have the sun and moon

Let these wild dreams and wilder words
take wing,
Deep in the woods hear shepherd
simple S.ns Ballad to sylvan air.
OF love that ever finds your face more
I sgu1d No. 11t Eys E1Us you any sodlier thing

tried the "oven way" which is very
satisfactory, but If you would try
this way I'm sure you, too, will
think it super.

naturally, wipe with clean cloth.

usually would. Put In the potatoes
