The following recipe has never
failed me and hope is what you
want: One cup pecans, 3 eggs, "
cup sugar, cup corn sirup. u tea
spoon salt, u cup melted butter.
Beat eggs well, add corn sirup, sugar,
salt, butter and pecans. Turn into
9-inch unbaked pastry shell. Bake
in hot oven AS degrees for 10 min
uites, then $50 degrees for 40 min
utes longer.
I have also found the following
recipe very good: Mix thoroughly
together, y cup pecan meats, l cup
dark sirup II use either light or
dark, u cup white sugar, 2 eggs,
tablespoon melted butter, ! table
spoon -four, " teaspoon vanilla. Put
into unbaked crust and bake in slow
oven $50 degrees until firm to touch
in middle (about IS minutes).
have not tried the following:
Two eggs, unbeaten; y cup sugar
and 2 tablespoons -four, creamed
with the eggs, IL cups white sirup,
3 tablespoons cream, tablespoons
melted butter, salt, vanilla, IL cups
pecans. Put in uncooked crust and
bake in moderate oven.
(Fronl Mrs. T. A. L., MGndSSaS.)
One cup corn sirup, ! big chunk of
butter put in pan and let come to a
boil. Have ready 2 or eggs beaten.
Pour In hot sirup. Beat. Add
cup pecans (other nuts or fruit may
be usedD. Pour into uncooked pastry

BAMBOO STICKS.
From E. S., Washington
For Mrs. c. D. j., Washington,
who is looking for bamboo sticks
to make a table lamp: believe
they are properly called poles. The
Knitwood Shade & Screen Co., 80
Water street, New York City, has
them. About two months ago I
ordered some bamboo poles, approx
mately l inch in diameter, from
this firm. The cost was 3 cents
per foot, and the express charge
was small. I believe that other
sizes are available. They are easily
cut with any small saw, with care
to avoid splitting. Bamboo can be
washed with mild soap and water.
And waxed, too, for protection and
appearance, If you like. I know of
no source of supply in the Wash
ington area.
HOUSE PLANTS.
(From L. p. Arlinoton.)
I have more house plants than
can take in for the winter. ANY
one interested in having them had
better call on me before Jack Frost
doesl Write to me, care of RICH.
from M. S. W., Wnshington.)
I have a few rooted house plants,
slips, to give away.

POEM.
(From G. E. L., WGShington.)
To Mrs. r. M. NJ, Arlington: Il
wish to submit the inclosed poem in
answer to your request. Somewhere
I have another very beautiful "let-
ter" written years ago by father
to his little daughter. The subject
is "Yes, There Is a Santa Claus"
The same idea as the inclosed, but
I cannot seem to f1nd it: If and when
do, will send it in.
One Of our local newspapers pub
lished 1t Just few years ago. 1t
seems to me 1t was The Star.
Hope this Will give you some help.
ABOUT SANTA CLAUS.
Little girl, little boy, with the questioning
I believe that he lives today.
Though ne may not drive down the mid
night skies
With reindeer hitched, to sleigh.
Wise folks Will say, as they said to me,
That there's no little man who brings
The wonderful gifts for your Christmas
The doliies and skates and things
You asked MIN for when your faltn held
true
But this, little friends, I know
That you cannot tell when he visits you,
For the twinkling stars swing low
While you are away in the land OF dreams,
For the spirit OF Christmas Joy
Comes uown to eartn for time, It seems,
To you, little girl, little boy!
Little girl, little boy, let them doubt II
they will,
They nave not understood. you see.
That he lives in the laughter Of children
STILL
In the lights on each Christmas tree,
In all Of our gifts, in our Christmas cneer
In the Joy that a kindness gives.
In the gladness he brings to the world each
year
Little girl, little boy. he lives!
