from my friends conversations they
would reverse the position, and stay

CREAM PIE FILLING?
From Mrs. M. G. B., Washington. J
Will Mrs. r. A. F., Washington,
please give her recipe for the cream
filling to be spread between layers
of "old-fashioned cream pie" which
she SO kindly gave in answer to
a query of short while ago.
did not request the recipe, how
ever I do think 1t is such an ex-
ceptionally good one that should
like very much to have the COM
plete recipe so that I may be able
to serve this dessert very soon to
one OF our special guests who Is
exceedingly fond OF cream pie. 1t
Is also one of my favorite desserts.

PARODIES FURNISHED.
From, Mrs. H. r. H.. Washington J
It was midnight on the ocean, not q street
car was in sight
Twas q summers night in winter. and
While bare foot boy with shoes on, stood
sitting in the grass.
Two men stood face to face.
With both their trans backs Ks. together
And the others head did sever.
Then came along gay young miss,
Old and bent with years,
In her eyes there was smile
And on her lips were tears.
This happened home from nowhere.
One day last week tonight,
While behind me stood 4 siri In black,
All dressed in snowy white.
She spoke no speech. she said no words,
But. all she did was talk:
So standing still ran away
AS fast as could walk.
From Mrs. G.. NJ. B., Washington. J
THE SWISS FISHERMAN
The boy stood on the burning deck
The breaking waves dashed high
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Comm thru the rye9
jus. song st TWILIGHT
Under the spreading chestnut tree
Where the corn and taters crow.
I've been ,workin' on the railroad
All de livelong day.
Oh, what fun 1t is to ride
In one horse open sleigh.
am SO old. 50 old
can write q letter
Day by day in every way
I'm getting better and better.
Smile the while
You kiss me sad adieu
Tis three o'clock In the morning
Because they all love you.
Brssthes there &. mar. with soul so dead
Shoot If you must this old gray head
But give US this day our daily bread.
Twas the night before Christmas
By the dawns early light
When DER the deck the captain shouted
Curfew shall not ring tonight.
II was forest primeval
Where the old flotilla lay
Garry me back to old virginny
When you come to the end of perfect
day.
Sail on, o ship of state
And let the rest of the world 20 by,
And for Bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die.
When you and I were young, Maggie
When knighthood was In flower
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous hour.
Like mighty army
Going on before
! have o little shadow
Quoth the raven "Nevermore."
Somewhere q voice Is calling
Everywhere I roam
Ever since the day, Sally went away
There's no place like home.
