Delighted to receive your recipes,
and do not mind your remarks at
all anent the failure of someone to
send in the salmon loaf recipe. In
fact I have an idea that amounts
to a conviction that the recipe was
in and you failed to see it.
Let us hear from you again, by
all means.
Mrs. Harriet J. asks how to make
flg bars and walnut kisses. Both
are delicious sweetmeats, and I will
be glad to publish the recipes if
you will send them in, some good
housekeeper friend o’ mine.
Send them soon, please.
Some day. when you cannot think
of a single thing to have for lunch
eon. try
Spanish Eggs
Heat a great spoonful of butter In
the blazer of the chafing dish or In
the frying pan.
Have at hand a cupful of toma
toes. peeled and cut up small, or a
can of tomatoes, drained from the
liquor; four green sweet peppers
that have been seeded, parboiled,
cooled and minced fine, and eight
eggs. When the butter hisses put
in the tomatoes, and stir briskly to
gether with the minced peppers.
When they have cooked three or
four minutes break in the eggs,
stirring all the time. Season to
taste, adding a teaspoonful of onion
Juice, and as soon as the eggs are
done serve.
Mrs. A C. W. contributes the fol
lowing recipe for using any kind of
leftover meat.
Leftover Meat Made Appe
tizing
To two cupfuis of meat, cut In
small pieces, put two onions, sliced,
and one cupful vinegar. Cut the
onions In slices and fry In a pan In
which a piece of butter the size of
a walnut has been placed, and let
brown. Then put in the vinegar
and let boll before adding meat.
Season with salt, pepper and pars
ley.
This should cook at least fifteen
minutes after all being mixed up
together. The more meat used the
more vinegar and onion should be
added. It has a nice, sour taste.

In a suffrage speech made yester
day afternoon, at the headquarters of
the Woman’s Political Union, 79
Halsey street, William Dowd de
clared that aii far as he could see
the chief reason against woman suf
frage is, as is in the case in all new
movements,, inertia. He answered the
stock arguments of the antis, point
ing out, in discussing woman’s in
direct influence, that under no cir
cumstances has a woman the right to
sway a man to change his honest po
litical conviction out of deference to
her. In speaking of milita
ry service a qualification for
the ballot, Mr. Dowd pointed out that
only 35 per cent, of men can give
military service and this qualification
would disfranchise the other 65 per
cent.
The test of suffrage, he add
ed, is its working in countries and
States where it has been tried. As
It has thus far worked for better laws
lie said there is reason to believe it
will have the same effect in this State.
Mrs. William Platt Sutherland, Jr.,

Our window's frame fer us Just
about what wre put in them. Though
they overlook only our neighbor’s
back yard, there is surely a bit of
sky and perhaps a hilltop beyond.
Do we let our mind dwell on the
stains on our neighbor’s tablecloths
in the foreground, or do we send them
on over the hill to the busy world be
yond and try to realize ourselves a
part of it all? If we keep ourselves
informed about it, we are a part of
It.

marching forward to a great destiny,
we are not living a narrow life.—De

a story, said Dorothy, "and I don't
have to if I don't want to, so there,
Davie Dear. Do ydu want to hear
one or not?”
"O’ course.” said Davie, grudg
ingly. He had been sulky too long
to recover all at once. "But It won't
be my fault if I don’t like it,” he
added with the persistent note that
was so irritating.
"You always do like them,” said
Dorothy, still Indignant.
Davie grinned. "I made you mad!
T made you mad.” he sang, tri
umphantly. Then, as Dorothy’s
brows came together and she
opened her mouth to speak her
opinion he saw the story vanishing
that she had promised to tell, and
quickly changed his tune
“I know I’ll like it, Dorothy,
whatever it is, so please tell it,”
he said In such a nice, pleasant
voice that Dorothy had to look
twice to make sure that it was
really and truly her brother speak
ing.
“You tell the best stories of any
body in the world, 'cept father,”
Davie added; "lots better ’an Mary
’Lizbeth can tell. Mary 'Lizbeth,
she can’t tell good ones at all."
Her brow-clearing, Dorothy said,
modestly, "Mine aren’t always so
very good, but I can think easier
than Mary ’Lizbeth.” And then she
began the following wonderful tale:
“This story is about a poor little
starving kitten that didn’t have any
home.
"It lived In a dirty old alley, and
didn't remember when It was bom
or whether it had any brothers or
sisters or not. It could only re
member the alley and poking its
little nose In baskets and boxes for
something to eat.
"This kitten never had a single
drink of milk out of a saucer,”
Dorothy went on, convincingly,
"one day it found an old condensed
milk can with a little milk in the
bottom of it, and it thought the
condensed milk was the best stuff
it ever tasted. It liked it as much,
Davie, as you like ice cream.”
"It couldn’t,” said Davie, with
conviction.
"It licked and licked until all of
the milk was gone. And tl|en It
curled up for a nap. and dreamed
that it. had a whole can of milk
for just its very own self. It was a
splendid dream—for a kitten.
"This poor little kittle, that had
never had a pet name, was so thin
that you could see every single rib,
and sometimes, when there wasn't
much to eat In the baskets and
boxes, it could hardly meow out
loud. So it wasn’t a very happy
kitten.
One nay a big old tom cat came
along. He was a wicked-looking
old fellow, but he had a good heart.
One eye was all bloodshot, and a
p!er« of his right ear was gone.
Rut this was because he was a very ;
independent old cat, and wouldn’t
let another cat come in his yard, or
even sit on his fence.
“Tom—that was his name—came
into the alley by accident. He was
out for a walk and lost his way.
“When h6 saw the little kittle he
arched his back, not from anger,
but because he was so surprised.
All the cats in his neighborhood
were fat and shiny-looking, and
some even had silk cushions to
sleep' on, so he couldn’t believe his
eyes when he saw such a poor lit
tle. tiny little, thin little kitten.
“ 'My stars,’ said Tom, ‘what’s
the matter with you?’
“At first the kitten was fright
ened, but Tom’s voice was kind,
even if his tom ear and bloodshot
eye did make him look very fierce,
so the kitten plucked up courage,
and said in a weak little voice:
“ ‘Why, nothing. Don’t I look
all right?’
“ ‘You’re so thin,’ said Tom. ‘I can
see through you. nearly; you don’t
drink milk enough, and I guess
you never get a nice fish head to
chew on, do you?’
“ ‘I get enough, I guess,’ said the
kitten proudly.

Ink Stains and a Red Nose
My Dear Mias Doon:
Will you kindly let me know
through the Evening Star the way
to remove an ink stain from a blue
silk gown?
Also, how I could remove redness
from my nose, where the nos© and
cheek Join? Tt looks terrible.
Thanking you, EDNA F.
Dissolve 10 cents’ worth of oxalic
add in a pint of soft water. Dip
the stained part in quickly, then
rub well in clear, cold water. Re
float. Tf the color is affected put a
little ammonia in some warm* water
and moisten th© spot and the color
will be partly restored. Strengthen
the ammonia water if necessary.
If I were you I would take the
dress to a cleaner. Home remedies
for Ink stains are uncertain, par
I ticularly where delicate materials
! and colors are concerned.
Red noses are often caused by in
digestion or poor circulation. Guard
your diet, eating only the things
that are wholesome and easily as
similated and avoiding rich pas
tries. gravies and the like. Drink
plenty of water, about two quarts,
©very day and avoid tea and coffee.
Drink milk and chocolate instead.
Bathing the nose night and morn

relieve the redness:

T am greatly troubled by dandruff
and an Itchy scalp. I have used the
solution you recommended In your
paper without result. My hair falls
out and I am simply at a loss what
to do. as I always had lovely hair.
Flease tell me what to use for a
shampoo. I have tried several kinds
lately but most of them made ray
hair too fluffy, as my hair Is dry
and fluffy.
Would you advise me to use a.
hair tonic? Do you think using
different kinds of shampoo or tonic
makes your hair gray? Thanking
you in advance, I am. DAISY.
Dandruff departs slowly, and if I
were you I would give the lotion
a fair trial before permitting myself
to become discouraged. If your hair
is dry and fluffy any shampoo would
tend to moke It more so for a day
or two. Perhaps you change too
often. How can you tell if any one
remedy is helping or injuring your
hair when you are always trying
something new.
Liquid green soap affords a satis
factory shampoo to most people. A
good shampoo or tonic will not turn
the hair gray. Rather will it pro
mote its growth and keep It from
turning by nourishing the roots.
There is nothing better for falling
hair than massage. Be sure to get
the treatment from someone who
understands his profession, at least
until you get the proper movements.
The following is said to be an ex
cellent tonic:
One-half pint clear alcohol, one
half ounce castor oil, one-quarter
ounce carbonate ammonia, one-half
ounce tincture cantharldes. Mix
thoroughly and rub Into the scalp
at night.
On Washington’s Birthday
Dear Miss Doon:
Your kind advice as to what would
be most appropriate to serve and
how to decorate at a social gather
ing to be held on Washington’s
Birthday will be greatly appreci
ated. O- B.
I assume that this is to be an eve
ning affair. Why not serve the fol
lowing:
Chicken salad
Pimento sandwiches Olives
Salted nuts
Ice-cream Lady Angers
Fancy candies
Coffee
The salad might be served In lit-'
tie shells tied with red, white and
blue ribbon, and the sandwiches, al
readv red and white, might be tied
with'ribbon the color of the blue In
the flag. The stores will suggest to

A Song That Was Requested
and a Way to Wash a
Sweater
Dear Mias Doon:
Am enclosing words Tor. "We Are
Just Plain Folks.” Am quite sure
they are correct, as sonic years ago
I used them frequently.
If Mrs. Karl J. will wash heir

and dry quickly. It may help her.

I had the same trouble and mv."
laundress used the borax and dried
It over the radiator, after she bad
drained nearly ail of the water out
It is perfectly fine now.
Of course, the sweater must be
pulled Into shape. Hope this Is
clear and that It will help Mrs.
Karl J.
Enjoy your "Hearth and Home”
very much.
MRS. ELENORE N. B.
WE ARE JUST PLAIN FOLKS.
To a mansion in the city came a
couple old and gray,
To meet their son, who left them
long ago.
He had prospered and grown
wealthy since In youth he ran
away;
Ancf how his life was one of pomp
and show.
But coldly did he greet them, for
rich friends were by his side.
WTho bad often heard him boast of
home so grand;
And the old man sadly looked at
him, and said with modest
pride,
As he gently took him by the hand.
Chorus.
"We are Just plain folks,
Tour mother and me.
Just plain folks like our own folk
used to be.
As our presence seems to grieve
you.
We will go away and leave you.
We are sadly out of place here,
For we are just plain folks.
" ‘T’ain’t so many years since you
were but a simple country iad.
And did the work that country
boys all do.
Tn those days you never looked
with shame on mother and old
dad;
In fact, my boy, we both were
proud of you.
But something must have changed
you. or your wealth has given
vain pride.
But riches sometimes take swift
wings, they say,
And you’ll always find a hearty
welcome at your parents’ side
They will greet you In the same
old loving way.”
I'm Indebted to you, Mrs. Elenore
N. B., both for the words of the;
song and the directions as to wash
ing the sweater. Mrs. Karl J. will
also be grateful, without a doubt.
Am glad you like the column.

Moufflow
BT ANNA KEIL. 93 MADISON
STREET, AGED 9.
But at the hotel Tasso learned that
the gentleman had gone away on the
cars. He and his son had left early
that morning and taken the dog with
them. So day after day poor Lolo
grew worse and the doctor was afraid
he would die.
One afternoon they were all sitting
beside him. The windows and doors
were open, for the day was very
warm. All was still, so still that you
could hear Lolo breathe, when, all at
once, there was a noise of little feet
on the stalls and a dog ran into the
room. It was Moufflou, but you could
never have known him. His pretty
white curls were all covered with
dust, and his feet were dirty and
bleeding. You could tell he had trav
eled a long way. When he Jumped on
the bed, Lolo opened his eyes.
oioumou: he whispered, and laid
one little hand on the dog’s head
Moufflou pressed close to his master
and kissed his little white face. Then
very soon Lolo dropped oft to sleep.
By and by the doctor came in and
said the child was very much better,
he might get well, after all. But one
morning a man came upstairs, asking
if Moufflou was there. He said he
had taken him a long way on the
cars, but one day ho had run away,
and they had never been able to find
him. Tasso asked the man to please
let the dog stay until he had seen the
gentleman. Then, taking the money
that had been given for Moufflou, he
hurried to the hotel.
He found the little boy in the room
with his father and told them both
the sad story—how Lolo had nearly
died, and how the dog had found his
way back all alone. ’’Will you please
take back the money?” asked Tasso.
“I will go and be a soldier, If I must,
but Moufflon must never leave Lolo
again.” Then the gentleman said:
“If you will get me another little dog
and teach him some of Moufflou’s
funny tricks, you may keep your dog
and the money, too.” It seemed al
most too good to be true. Tears camo
Into Tasso's eyes. He thanked thj,
gentleman again and again and hur
ried home to tell Lolo. So they found
another dog and began to teach him
Moufflou’s tricks. But often Lolo sitp
on the floor and looks straight Into
Moufflou’e eyes: "Tell me, my Mouf
flou," he aays, “how you ever came
back to me. How did you croaa th»
wide river* and And your wa.jr
through the wood*?” Moufflou can
ngver answer, but tf he could speak.
I think he would say It waa because
he loved his master so muefc. '
