liams Return From Europe.
Other Notes
Tt has been said that America is an idol
Worshiping nation. This must be true. Do
we not reverence the memory of Wash
ington and Lee. Do we not recall that the
hero of the Merrimac was kissed from
fyaine to Mexico. Do we not go in thou
sands whenever a great statesman lec
turer, wrorld renowned philanthropist or
victim of great sacrifice comes within dis
tance. Do we not go by hundreds to At
lanta every year to se.e and hear some
great celebrity sing, not aiwaj s to hear,
but perhaps more often to see. VAe want
to see them because the world has said
they are great in some way. One of the
most beloved and reverenced women in
American today is that matchless song
bird and irresistable personality, Schu
man-Heink. We love to hear her sing
truly, but as much as this do we love to
see the woman whom all the world de
lights to honor. There is scarcely an issue
of a musical magazine but contains some
reference to her, and the stories of her
home life, her children, her personality,
are always read with the same degree of
interest as the criticisms of her music,
for she has become an idol of the Ameri
can nation. We have learned to regard
her as our very own and to worship her.
Although foreign by birth, she is so in
tensely American that her name is a
household wrord all over the land.
During this summer she has done Chau
tauqua work throughout the east. She has
eung at camp meetings and Bible Chau
tauqua^, and in every case she has been
the idol of her audiences. A story is told
In one of the current magazines of how
»he responded again and again to calls
and then was forced to make a speech.
The journals are literally alive with pic
tures of her from the concert hall to the
wash tub, the kitchen sink and the rock
ing of her grand baby. This sort of ador
ation is not always as sweetly and grace
fully reciprocated as is the case with this
splendid woman and as is shown in a
little story about her with illustrated pho
tographs in a magazine exchange of the
month. It reads:
Americans who observe a particular
ebulliency of spiritB in Mme. Schumann
Helnk during her concert appearances ot
mid summer may account for this joyous
ness by assuming that it is a reflection
of her first visit to her new California
home, which occupied her early summer./
“Grosmutter” Schumann-Helnk had four
children—Hans, Ferdinand, Maria and
George Washington—a daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Hans Helnk, and a tiny granddaugh
ter and namesake, Ernestine Schumann
Helnk, united in a glorious reunion at this
new home, 16 miles from San Diego, on a
rocky pinnacle overlooking the beautiful
El Cajon valley.
Speaking of the union, Mme Schumann
Helnk said: “Oh, we had such a wonder
ful movlng-in. such a lovely time of it we
had. It was the first time In my life that
X*V children dkl everything for me. No
servants, nothing, and they did the co ik
ing and the waiting and set the table and
washed the dishes, and oh, it was so good!
And I just pat and looked and looked and
I could do nothing. They would not let
me. The love I bear my children has
made me what I am,’’ continued the con
tralto. “And I love America, I love Amer
icans. I cannot tell you how much I love
them, the great-hearted people, and I want
my children to be Americans, to marry
Americans and to live in America. Amer
ica has been so good to me.’’
“This is my flag,” she said, gently
touching the American flag; "and when
my flagpole comes it goes over the house.”
And then laughing, “But why shouldn’t 1
f>e crazy about something? Other artists
are crazy, some about such foolish things
as diamonds. I am crazy about the Amer
ican flag.”

Who’ll Take Care of the Flowers
and What’ll Become of the Cat?
By DOLLY DALRYMI'LB
It la a rare old feminine head durins
these blistering days that isn't puzzling
Itself about such problems as:
"Who'll take care of the flowers whl!<
I'm away on my summer trip?
And—
"What'll become of the cat?"
And—
“Shall I taae my maid with us or dismisi
her and trust to luck to get her bad
when we return in the fall?”
The person who imagines that "vacation'
means merely packing up a lot of clothes
arranging for sleeping car reservations
and engaging board at some summer le
sort hotel and turning the key of the fron
door and nailing the dog is a very mis
guided creature—perhaps a masculine one
Lots -uv times when er
’oman gits her husban’ ter
promise dat he’ll come
“straight home” at night,
hits wid de hope dat he'll
come home “straight!” Yas
sum.
As a matter of fact, getting ready for f
“summer vacation” is one of the mos
wearing of duties to the good housewife
not excepting the “Christmas shopping.”
The w ise woman begins her preparation!
weeks in advance.
If she’s going away, say the middle 01
August—Bhe‘,3 had her children’s and hei
own clothes made long ere that time, as
nothing interferes with the “eleventl
hour” plans like having dressmaking done
and the worry of one’s clothes.
As long back as when the spring house
cleaning was done, the good housekeepei
had a lot of “storing” dispensed with
thc packing away of curtains, draperines
and rugs—and so at the last minute sh<
has only to look after more immediat<
questions.
The flowers which have made every
body so happy during the summer am
have added so much to the beauty of th<
place must have some consideration froir
the careful housew'ife.
True—
A good gardener if he does his duty (un
fortunately while the cat’s away, the mice
will play, howevef) will see that the flow
ers are attended to, but why not instead
of allowing all beautiful fragrant flow
ers to waste their sweetness on the desert
air arrange to have them sent each week
or twiee a week, perhaps, to the different
hospitals, or to some "shut-in,” or the
"Mercy Home” or the "Old Ladies'
Home," or somewhere that they will give
some pleasure to people who cannot In
dulge their taste In flowers as they would
like?
Any of these Institutions would be glad
to send sfflle one to gather the flowers,
and in this way the flowers themselves
would be well cared for, too.
The matter of looking out for the cat is
a far more serious one.
Who has not heard in the wee sma’
hours the plaintive yowl coming from the
cellar of the house next door?
An incident is recalled of a certain fam
ily who left town very hurriedly last sum
mer and In the rush and excitement, for
got to make any provision for the faith
1 ful cat until the motor rolled up' to the
door to take them to the station.
The good housewife In her flurry all at
or.ce exclaimed:
“Where on earth is the cat?
Nobody knew.
They held the motor until search was
made.
“Lux" was not in the living room in
the big Morris chair; he wasn't curled up
on the dining room table; be couldn’t be
found anywhere in the pantry, and the
kitchen was ransacked high and dry.
Time was going, and so the family had
to leave, but not without instructions to
the man who was left in charge to look
for “Lux” and feed him every day and
see that he was housed at night.
Two days passed and the man. who had
searched everywhere for his “catahip,”
gave up in despair.
Finally—
One evening the family next door was
aroused by the wall of “Lux,” sad and
pitiful, and so worried did they become
that an immediate search was made for
the poor, neglected animal.
The family donned klmonas and bath
robes and with a lantern went forth
searching for the honest but mistreated
cat.
In the cellar of their neighbor's house
sat “Lux,” a mere semblance of his for
mer self—hollow-eyed, thin, emaciated and
miserable.
With a crow bar the grating was pried
off the cellar window and poor “Lux” was
rescued from a tragic death.
With the ever increasing seriousness ot
the servant problem the manner of keep
ing a faithful and competent cook or maid
ir. a willing and receptive mood to re
turn to the family’s service when they
get back from their summer vacation is
no trifling problem, let me tell you.
If good servants were as plentiful as
the thistles on a cactus bush, the woman
who Is getting ready to close her house
for a long period and betake herself and
family to a mountain or seashore hotel
would not have to worry about the ser«
vants shf^will have when she returns.
At the present writing, however, with
good servants as scarce as humming
birds’ tongues on toast, “Marlah Ann”
must be provided with a suitable place of
residence, and given a bonus besides, in
order to gain her consent to “letting” the
family depart for regions unknown.
The housewife who doesn't thus provide
will hate worse than “pison” to return in
the fall.
Even then “Mariah Ann” sometimes
comes up missing, as was the case in a|
certain family where the “cook lady” waa
paid her full wages for four months and
Provided with a nice room and her gro
cer’s and butcher’s bills were also “footed”
every blessed month, and in spite of all
| this, which she accepted from her former
mistress, she took another “job” all dur
ing the time she was gone and when sh«»
returned was quietly told that she
“couldn’t cook fer her no mo’, louse Miss
Mary Perkins had done offerod has er
dollah mo’ er week dan she'd been git
tin.’ ’’
So there you are!
The family departing for a lengthy va
cation has more to bother about than mere
clothes and railroad accommodations, and
whether they’ll have a “good time” or
not, as you plainly see.
HOW* DO YOU WRITE f
g^lOVELETTER?*
MICHELANGELO AND VITTORIA COLONNA
Vittorla Colonna, Marchioness Pescara,
enjoyed an ideal friendship with Michelan
gelo, the great Florentine painter. Vit
torla was born to the Duke and Duchess
of rrhino in 1490. When she was 4 years
old her parents betrothed her to Ferrante
Francesco d’Avalos, a boy of the same
age, and only son of the Marchese di
Pescara. In their nineteenth year they
were married. On the young bride’s side
at least it was a love match. She was ten
derly attached to her handsome husband,
ignorant of his infidelities and blind to
his fatal faults of character.
The happiness of Vlttoria was of short
duration,' her husband was wounded and
made prisoner in the battle of Ravenna,
and though he returned to his wife for a
short interval, duty called him again to
the field of war in Lombardy in 1515, and
after this date the wife saw him but sel
dom. He died on November 25, 1525,
branded as a traitor.
Michelangelo met Vittorla very late in
life; in fact they were both beyond the
sentimental age, yet they loved most fer
vently, although always with dignity.
Some writers give as the date of their
meeting, 1538, but others give an earlier
date as the time their famous intimacy
began. In 1538 the artist would have been
63, and Vittorla 48. The only letters ex
tant which Michelangelo sent to Vittorla
belong to the year 1545, when he was 70
years of age.
The first letter dated Rome is as fol
lows: “1 desire, lady, before I accept the
things (poems), which your ladyship has
often expressed the will to give me—I de
sire to produce something for you with my
own hand, in order to be as little possible
unworthy of this kindness. 1 have now
come to recognize that the grace of God
Is not to be bought, and that to keep it
waiting is a grievous sin. Therefore, I ac
knowledge my error and willingly accept
your favors. When I possess them, not
indeed because I shall1 have them in my
house, but for that I myself shall dwell
in them, the place will seem to encircle
me with Paradise. For which felicity 1
shall remain ever more obliged to your
ladyship than I am already, if that is pos
sible.”
The second letter is as follows:
“Lady Marchioness.—Being myself in
Rome, I thought it hardly fitting to give
the Crucified Christ to Messer Tommaso,
and to make him an intermediary between
your ladyship and me, your servant; espe
dally because It has been my earnest wisn
to perform more for you than for anyone
I ever knew upon the world. But absorb
ing occupations, which will engage me,
have prevented my informing your lady
ship of this. Moreover, knowing that
you know that love needs no taskmaster,
and that he who loves dotn not sleep, 1
thought the less of using go-betweens.
And though I seemed to have forgotten,
I was doing what I did not talk about in
order to effect a thing that was not looked
for. My purpose has been spoiled: ‘He
sins who faith like this so soon forgets.’ ”
In this letter was Inclosed a very beauti
ful sonnet to the Marchioness, the first
four lines of which are as foilows:
“Blest spirit, who with loving tenderness
Qulckenest my heart, so old and near to
die,
Who 'mid thy joys on me dost bend an
eye,
Though many nobler men around thee
press!"
There are in existence four letters that
were Written by <he Marchioness to the
artist. Much of these letters refers to
the great work of the Florentine, and
would be uninteresting, so only sentimen
tal passages will be given:
‘‘Your work forcibly stimulates tlie
judgment of all who look at them. I tell
you that I am mighty pleased that the
angel on the right hand is by far tho
fairer, since Michael will place you,
Michelangelo, upon the right hand of our
Lord on that last day. Meanwhile I do
not know how else to serve you than by
making orisons to this sweet Christ, whom
you have drawn so well and exquisitely,
and praying you to hold me yours to com
mand as yours In all and for all."
| It seems the artist’s exchange of letters
and poems became at last too urgent.
Vittoria, writing from Viterbo, gives him
a gentle hint that he is taking up too
much of her time—
‘“Magnificent Messer Michelangelo: 1
|do not reply earlier to your letter, be
cause it was, as one might say, an answer
to my last; for I thought that if you and
I were to go on writing without intermis
sion I should have to neglect the Chapel
! of St. Catherine here. Inasmuch as I am
well assured of your steadfast friendship
and firm affection, I do not think it '.s
necessary to obtain the proof of your
good will in letters by writing on my side,
but rather to await with well prepared
mind some substantial occasion for serv
ing you.”
When she was dying Michelangelo
pressed upon her hand the first kiss he
had ever placed there.

Treating Little Chicks
"Tn reply to Mrs. J. P. B.' concerning
her trouble with little chicks. I send my
remedy, which was discovered by chan?*
a short time ago:
"Catch the ailing: chicken and wash
carefully and thoroughly around the vent
with warm water. Then grease the vent
with fresh lard. Also let the chick eat a
little lard. A dish of lard occasionally 13
a benefit to older chickens.
"I have always been told that when a
chick has bowel trouble it might as well
be killed, for it will die anyway. I have
not lost one since I tried this very simple
treatment. -*
"A good plan also Is to keep the chick
closed up in the coop until the dew is dried
upon the grass. That will often cause
bowel trouble. MRS. G. B.’’
Fresh Air Camp Interested
"The inclosed clipping came to my at
tention, and if you will send me the ad
dress of the young woman I may be able
to do something for her. We conduct a
fresh air camp for women and children
north of Chicago on the lake.
"Clipping Inclosed: ‘I am writing to ask
for a bit of advice from the Corner. I
know of a young woman who has been
married for over two years, and whose
husband has just secured a position at a
ridiculously small pay for the first time in
a year. Her baby has been very 111. Now
the tiny baby, who at a year weighs less
than 13 pounds, is a little better, and may
live, the physicians say, if taken out of
the city during the hot weather. The
mother must accompany It. She has no
money. Can you tell me is there any place
that mothers In such circumstances can
go with their babies for four or five weeks
In the hot weather? This woman is a nice,
clean girl, who before marriage was h
personal maid for a woman of education
and refinement—In fact, this woman
trained the girl so that sh eis well man
nered and high principled.' . MRS. W."
Chicks Need Heat
“Referring to the inclosed clipping,
taken from tho Corner. 1 should like to
offer the following suggestion:
"My husband was raised on a farm and
has had a great deal of experience with
chicken raising. He thinks the trouble
with the chickens is that they are not
kept warm enough. T.ittle chicks require
a great deal of heat, and If they get chilled
It will cause bowel trouble, such as Mrs.
J. P. B. mentions. The chicken coop
must be kept at a temperature of not loss
than 70 degrees, and not allowed to fall
below that mark. Of course, there are va
rious ways of heating a coop, but husband
thinks the most practical way would be to
have same wired and heated by electricity,
which could probably be done at a nomi
nal cost. In fact, If there are many chick
ens it would pay her to do this. Or. ar
range to have a small heater or stove
placed in the coop so high that the chicks
would not be In danger of coming Into
contact with It. Whatever system of heat
ing is adopted, let the temperature be kept
at 70 degrees.
We know of a person having but 2q
chickens, who kept them in an ordinary
box about the size of a table, and had it
heated by small electric lights. The chick
ens thrived and he never lost one.
“MRS. J. B. C.“
“The Indian Serenade”
“I think the following is the poem that
'E. M. R/ asked for. ft is entitled, 'The
Indian Serenade/ written by P. B. Shelley.
The first verse is as follows:
“ ‘I rise from dreams of tliee
In the first sweet sleep of night.
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining blight;
I rise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me—who knows how?
To thy chamber window, sweet!
“ ‘C. H. N/ “
Cinnamon Rolls
“This is how I make cinnamon rolls:
Break bread dough when it is ready to be
made Into loaves, as large a piece as yon
wish, and draw it out gently but firmly
with the hands until you have a square
sheet about one-quarter of an Inch thick.
Butter the surface well; then take a tea
• spoonful of cinnamon in one-half cup ot
sugar (w'ell mixed) and sprinkle over the
buttered dough. Cut into strips about an
inch wide and fold around so that the
cinnamon, etc., will be on the top of the
roll instead of through it. Then place in
a well greased tin not too crowded. Let
a few' drops of cold watcr^run under thefn
into the pan and bake in a moderate oven
after the bread is out. ft is best, when
done, to add a little more water under
them, and they will turn out easily.

Currant Bun
' “.Some time ago I saw* a request for a
recipe for Scotch cake. I send my recipe,
which is known as currant bun:
“Two cups butter, three cups sugar, one

TALKS ON THRIFT
HOW THE BANK HELPS
“It is not often that a man can make
opportunities for himself. But he can
put himself in such shape that when
or if the opportunities come, he is ready
to take advantage of them.”—Theodore
Roosevelt.
Men who make money fast often lose
it as quickly. They run risks and take
chances. They are under a nervous strain
continually and are never sure just how
they are coming out.
In the long run, the gain is greater if
you do not try to “get rich quick,” but
systematically save a portion of your in
come and regularly deposit it in a reliable
bank where it will be safely at work for
you.
Ready money burns holes in the pocket
of the man who has it. To make spare
money safe put it Into the bank. Besides
being secure there and always handy to
get at when you really need it, it will not
be so easy to get at w'hen the impulse
comes to spend it foolishly.
It is one of the principal functions of
the bank to safeguard the money of the
depositor, and many times it thus pro
tects money even from the owner him
self.
Another way the bank helps is in edu
cating Its depositors as to the earning
power of money. It is not the desire of
any banker to have public money lie dor
mant. Those who deal with banks and
study their methods soon learn thut the
success of the banker In setting money
to work Is no more than the individual
may attain proportionally in handling his
own finances through the bank.
When you deposit In the bank, you will
find many factors of security for your
savings. For one thoing, bank officers
and directors are men of demonstrated
business success. Their combined or
“collective’’ ability, experience and in
tegrity works for your benefit when you
are a depositor in the bank.
There are many other advantages of a
banking connection, as you will learn, if
your situation is similar to those outlined
in the succeeding paragraphs.'
Possibly you have certain fixed pay
ments to make. Most persons have life
insurance premiums to pay at stated
times. Many, right after maWng one
payment, begin to prepare for the next.
Every week or every month a little money
is deposited in the bank and when the
premium again becomes due, the money
is there to meet it—and along with It a
little interest.
Some persons have loans on which In
terest Is due or payfnents must be made
every year or every six months, and in
order to be sure of meeting these pay
ments they deposit a little money when
the pay envelopes comes in and as the
payments become due the money Is on
deposit to meet them.
Perhaps you have clldren and are plan
ning to educate them; perhaps you wish
to take a trip to some place of interest
next year; perhaps you wish to establish
a reserve against loss of work, or old
age. There are many other reasons why
you should start and maintain a savings
bank account. Your owti needs or de
sires will suggest them to you; but what
ever your needs, whatever your occupa
tion or responsibilities, it is a good thing
to put money into the bank regularly.
