WORDS TO SONG.
Iron, Mrs. A. II. M. T.,
HIinaa aofn nn

Quite some time ago there was
a request in the Readers Clear
ing House for the song, 1.-THE Or
phans." I sang it many times to
my children when they were
small and am writing it as re-
member it. I cannot tell you
where it might be found, In fact,
I am not sure this is the correct
title, but know this is the song.
Y First Verse.
Two little children, boy and a girl,
Sat by an old church door;
The girls shoes were ragged and brown
That. fell on the dress that she wore.
me Boys coat was faded. and hatless his
a tear shone in each little eye;
why don't you run home to your
And this was the maiden's reply
Chorus

We co here to rest at the close OF
For we have no mamma or home.
we h cant ~, earn our bread. we're too little,
Jim's I'VE years and TIM only seven.
There's dssG no one to love US. since papa is
And our darling mammals In Heaven"
Second Verse.
We waited ali nisht on mt the shore. re-
FOR ne was hfe-saving captain, you
And never came back any more.

She q, s,, said to a home warm and bright,

Perhaps they are coming tonight.

She kissed him and both fell asleep.
the sexton came early to ring the church
he found them beneath the snow white.
Inc IA, anseis made room for the orphans to
In Heaven. with mamma. that night.
POTATO FLOUR RECIPE.
COST OF MEAT.
(From Mrs. C. B. d.. Chevy Chase
Mrs. E. McA.: I have a cake
recipe which we always called
Mystery Cake, as it was given by a
caterer. However. this was a long
way from Washington and also
some Is years ago. so I should
think it would be all right to pass
it on now. 1t Is SUPER, and so
light you have to be careful it
doesn't scoot off the plate. Four
eggs, / cup Ak sugar, u cup po-
tato flour, II teaspoon vanilla, a
pinch of salt and / rounded tea
spoon baking powder. Whip eggs
separately until very light, adding
pinch of salt. Add sugar (rolled
free Of humps and sifted to yolks.
Add vanilla, flour and well-beaten
egg whites, lastly baking powder.
Bake in biscuit pans Qong ones)
with sides entirely lined with we'll
brown paper. Light oven
when you put in and set at medium
heat. About 20 minutes to cook.
Peel of top when cool, cut off
crust, cut in squares and spread
with filing, top and sides. Roll in
ground toasted almonds. Of
course, you can skip the fancy
part, if not for company.
Filling for Mystery Cake: One
eighth pound butter CREAM, add
cup Ak sugar and then cream
thoroughly when l teaspoon va
nilla has been added. You'll need
u pound almonds, brown and
ground. If it is too thick, thin
with a little cream. Any cake
lover had better copy this, as it
is especially extra. Personally, not
having tried it in a couple of years,
am curious to know where the
flour can be purchased.
Now, about the cost Of meat.
Heaven knows they're as high as
they've been. it seems to me.
Aren't We women going to get to-
gether and not buy-as we did be-
fore? I've cut to 2 pound Of ham
burger a week. tuna, weiners, SAL
mon (canned, eggs in various
ways. or spaghetti. We have ba-
con q strip apiece for breakfast,
and by darn, we're going to con-
tinue that schedule until prices
come down. I do want to get in
liver once q week, however, liver
wurst is o. K. and cheaper. I'm
trying to keep to meats that are
in the 70-cent range, except for
the hamburger-that's our luxury
and the needed change we do need.
There are four of us and all have
hearty appetites-hence the 2
pounds of hamburger.
