You have written such interesting letters I wonder what [ could write that would be in vesting to you. Don’t guess I’ve been anywhere you haven’t, but my little fifth grade girl has been clear to Canada and back this summer. Oh, naturally she isn’t a fifth grader anymore, but a full fledged teacher herself. Flowers, now that's a good topic. I saw a flower show a couple of weeks ago and I don't think I could see anything more beautiful if I traveled across the globe than some of those flowers. Zinnias, asters, roses, glads in colors unbelieveable, and such perfection of formation in the dahlias. One can’t decide where to start, to stop talking of flow ers. How many of you have tried planting dahlia seeds? I plant some each year and I have dah lias of every color. Oh dear, my vocabulary is too limited to discuss flowers and if you’re not a better cook than I, you should be ashamed. So— I guess I better not tell you how to cook. Seems I’m not even sure a plain old devil’s food cake will be good anymore. Even so—there is a certain moist goodness to a fallen cake. Did you ever serve fallen cake with whipped cream? Or a plain sauce, just like a steamed pudding? Sometimes you can fool the man of the house. Now I know a lot about mend ing. The knees of little boys’ ov eralls are all deceitfully weak. No matter how good the material looks, it just sort of dissolves and then one must put in a new knees, with new cloth it will col lapse in a couple of weeks. I turn overalls wrong side out when hanging on the line and never put them through the wringer to help them keep their good color. Patches don’t show so much if overalls aren’t too faded. One knows before starting she can’t keep up with the holes in the socks for 10 feet, so mending is a bit discouraging. I’ll write a bout something else. I do have a good garden spot, almost always haye a good garden. My how good those fresh vegetables taste and what a feeling of security a well filled cellar gives one. We usually have a surplus of some items we can share, but then I heard in town last week you folks had good gardens this year, too. Ha — bet you don’t search for it the way I do for mine. Oh, it doesn’t move, but I’d swear those vegetables try to hide behind the weeds. Oh dear, what shall I write a bout? Of course, my baby! He’s the sweetest, cutest little guy you ever saw. He is so soft and cud dly. Such a precious armful — one just hates to put him down. He laughs so easily and can real ly coo a blue streak. Bet he’s the nicest baby in the world. If you don’t think so, you write about yours and I won’t write a letter after all. "A FARMER’S WIFE” —tfw— 'Cinderella' Writes— Dear Mrs. Pease: Your letter department is al ways so interesting and we enjoy each copy. Am caught up with my work this afternoon a little early so will start you a few lines. Our summer has been a busy one and, I might add, a short one, what with gardening, mow ing the lawn, the berry patch, and now canning the last of the season’s fruits, prunes, apples, peaches and pears. It has kept one on the move. School has started and other signs of fall are here. The grass hM quit growing. The brown leaves from the elms are fall ing, nights are cool— reminds us of the where one's summer wages have gone? We still have the memories of all the beautiful flowers though as the hollyhocks were tall and stately in their gay colors, the rose moss is still blooming as well as the petunia. One of our rambler roses has bloomed three times and we hate to have to give them all up to Jack Frost. The grasshoppers have damaged the chrysanthe mums as well as being a pest in the gardens. The county fairs have been in teresting and one is always proud of the young 4-H boys and girls with their livestock exhibits. The fancy work department means long hours of seams and stitches. We had liver, baked potatoes, new beets and lemon pie for din ner. It wasn’t so bad — liver should be served often on all our tables as it is chuck full of food value. Canned pears and tomato juice today and I am about to sign off on the season’s canning. I am al ways quite proud of my canned products on the cellar shelves, as they save a good many trips to the store as well as save on the pocketbook. We are picking a few straw berries now and will miss them when they freeze. Have some canned, some frozen and I made preserves. But we always enjoy them most fresh with cream. Don’t forget to make a corn bread once a week or so during the winter months. It’s always welcome at our house. It’s nearing supper time, so will have to hurry along for now. ‘CINDERELLA’ SANDHILL SAL Girls are seldom as bad as they paint themselves. Some men learn about disci pline in the army. Others get married. Some girls don’t smoke and some girls don’t drink, but where is the girl who will turn down a mink? Restaurant dilemma: Whatever I order I simply hate, but what papa gets, looks simply great.
