Evening star., 1948-04-02

with farm housewife, busy all week
long, with the multitude Of duties
of a farm wife of years ago. One
who did not have all the handy con-
veniences farm folk have nowadays.
One who was content, II only on
Sunday between dinner and supper,
to go alone to the far meadow lot
bordered by woods, there to rest and
think and repossess her soul in the
silence and beauty around her.
Help me If you can, please!
From Mrs. T. B. S., Washington
I have searched in vain for several
years for a poem which I lost in
scrapbook from the unfastened
trunk of the car when I moved
across District of Columbia. I think
the name Of 1t was Miracles" or
mo Miracles" and the opening lines
are:
There are no miracles" he said.
And calmly shook his knowing head.
And the poem goes on to note the
marvels of birth and life, the won
drous plan or miracle Of the pattern
of a leaf or weed, and the closing
lines are:
.No miracles7 I called to mind
How often men are deaf and blind!"
If any one can aid me In locating
a copy of 1t I will be greatly obliged,
more than I can express.
from A. r., Wnshington.)
Could you please give me some In
formation on the poem Each an
Artist?" I believe the author Is
unknown.

If using canned beans, cook ham

cook until the potatoes are done.
n
chorizos Cor Spanish sausages) in
Washington, but I think a little
garlic cooked with the ham will be q
good substitute.
If any one can tell me where I
can get these sausages in Washing
ton. I will appreciate 1t very much.
My mother used to cook. these
beans with ham, pork, potatoes and
cabbage, but I don't remember just

WATER SPOT REMOVAL?
From Mrs. M. M. M, WASHINGTON.
I would appreciate any informa-
ton from a reader as to removal of
white spots from a walnut finish
table. These spots were caused by
water leaking from vase of roses.
I have tried several methods given
in the RICH for removal of cigarette
burns and liquor spots. but none
has proved effective. Water spots
evidently need different treatment
than those from other causes.
