THANK YOU" NOTE.
OVEN CLEANING HINT.
rrs. r. M. Bethesda.

From Mrs. r. M, Bethesda.
Recently, when following my
pleasant habit of reading this page.
I had a delightful surprise. A little
poem that had learned as a child
had haunted me for many years. I
knew a few of the lines but the
rest had long been forgotten. I
had always meant to trace out the
poem, whose author 7 did not know,
but had put off and put off. Judge,
then, of my pleasure when I found
the complete poem on this page!
1t is "a Night With A Wolf" and
am very grateful to j. w. of Chevy
Chase, for sending 1t in for Mrs.
M. E. w.
I feel that the least I can do is
submit a little household hint in
gratitude. Like most housekeepers,
I always detested the task of clean
ing the inside of my oven. Some
years ago, I had the inspiration to
use an OLD, blackened cookie sheet,
too dark for further use in baking
cookies, underneath every dish I
baked; every dish, that is, the con-
tents of which might boil over dur
ing the process of cooking. I bake
puddings, custards, pies, casseroles,
all such things, set on this cookie
sheet, and you may we'll suppose
that it is much easier to wash the
cookie sheet, than to scrape and
scrub food drippings from all over
the bottom of the oven. I do not
find that the use of this sheet un-
der the dishes, changes the cooking
period appreciably. Indeed, in the
case of such things as custards, it
is an advantage, interposing another
thickness between the food and the
heat.
I may mention that I used to be
one of the contentious contributors
to this page, enjoying the little ver-
bal skirmishes. but I now believe
that the friendly exchange of useful
information is better. We can
sharpen our wits on our immediate
family and intimate friends!

AUTOMATIC WASHER;
SMALL ELECTRIC MIXER?

From Mrs. H. D. c., Arlington.)
I would like to add my praise for
the automatic washer with the
slanting front door. I have used
another make, very well known, in
another city. I find the slant door
model far superior both in washing
the clothes and in drying them.
Has any one had any experience
with the new light weight electric
beater which comes by itself without
bowls or other equipment and Is
about half the price of the STAN
dard mixers? Is it heavy enough
to use for cakes and other batters?

cOCONUT GOLD CAKE; WHAT
TO PLANT ON SLOPE?
(Fron, J. Med. Washtngton.)
The following cake recipe is, In
my estimation, the perfect solution
to what to do with the many egg
yolks which are left when you make
an angel food cake. If the yolks are
unbroken they can be covered with
water and stored in refrigerator
for as long as a week or 10 days. It's
really delicious, so moist and
yummy. ...
Coconut gold cake: Three-fourths
cup butter or other shortening, IA
cups sugar, 8 egg yolks, beaten, 21a
cups sifted cake flour, teaspoons
baking powder, Il teaspoon salt. "a
cup coconut milk, teaspoon vanilla.
Cream sugar till fluffy. Add egg
yolks and mix. Sift dry ingredients
3 times and add alternately with
liquids. Beat until smooth. Bake in
moderate oven $3.50 degrees F) 18
to 20 minutes. Top with 7-minute
icing and sprinkle lavishly with
fresh grated coconut.
We have just bought home and
we have a very steep bank in our
back yard which is totally barren of
any growth. Can any of you readers
recommend any plants that will
grow quickly and take root in this
steep slope? I'm afraid rain will
wash away any but the hardest of
plants.

TEACHING CHILD TO READ.
(From Mrs. J. r. B., FairtaT.)
should like to refer Mrs. A. E. w
and other mothers to an article in
Parents Magazine. for November
1916, entitled How to Help With
Reading" written by Margaret Nc
Eathron, specialist in remedial read
ing. This Is a splendid article and
one which will be of great help to
all parents of preschool children
and of children in the first, second
and third grades.
1t is the authors opinion that 4o
per cent Of the children will never
master reading skill unless they are
taught the simple phonetic princi-
pies, directly and definitely, because
these children do not learn by the
memory" principle being taught In
the schools today, but have the type
OF mind that must know why and
how the puzzle fits together. She
says that once these children are
taught phonics and are shown how
to use the simple rules to pry apart
those words that up to now are
simply nondescript black marks on
white paper, and put them together
to make new ones, these cases are
quickly helped.
The author outlines simple sys-

RUSTY DUTCH OVEN.

TRANSFERRING FEATHERS.
From Mrs. c. !. B., Washington.D
In regard to filling pillows from

cleaner, small hand sweeper is best,
but large one will do equally as well.
Disconnect the dust bag, remove
the brush. let sweeper run moment
to clear of dust. Insert sweeper in
feather bed and tie securely so
feathers cannot escape, sew pillow
ticking across top, leaving only
enough open space to slip over tube
on sweeper where dust bag was re-
moved. Tie case securely and do
mean securely, turn on switch.
That's all there Is to 1t.

CARROT FUDGE

From Mrs. F. w. H., Coln1ar Manor. J
For Mrs. r. S. L.: This recipe for

One and half cups grated car
rots, n teaspoon lemon flavoring,
31a cups sugar, u cup sweetened
condensed milk, u cup water. Cook
carrots, sugar, milk, water, to soft
ball stage (234 to 238 degrees. Re-
move from fire, add havoring, and
cool to room temperature. Beat
until creamy. Pour into buttered
pan, pat down to / inch depth, and
when firm cut into squares. The
grain is likely to be little coarse
due to the grated carrots.
