And the dear Dancing Doll Knew in her heart That when the music ceasei The tall man Would gather her In his arms Out under the Spreading chestnut trees Tell her of his All-consuming love And entreat her To be his wife. "If I refuse," She pondered, "He will die Of broken heart He loves me so. It is I alone who Can make his life complete. I cannot take from him All the joyof living And watch him pine away And yet And yet I love another." Out under the Spreading chestnut tree He gathered The joy of his heart In his arms And asked her to be His bride. She refused. He did not pine away Rut dropped dead From astonishment. SELAH.

This department has had a re quest for an article on drying of wax beans. Since the principles of drying beans are the same as dry ing any food, the article will be a general one. The material is tak en from a late government publica tion on home drying. Methods of Drying. For home drying satisfactory re sults are obtained by any one of three principal methods. These are: 1. Sun drying. 2. Drying by artificial heat. 3. Drying by air-blast. (With an electric fan). Sun Drying. Sun drying has the double ad vantage of requiring no expense for fuel and of freedom from danger of overheating. The simplest form is to spread the slices or pieces on sheets of plain paper or lengths of muslin and expose them to the sun. Muslin is to be preferred if there is danger of sticking. Trays of wire screening may be used. Sun dry ing requires bright, hot days and a breeze. Once or twice a day the product should be turned or stirred and the dry pieces taken out. The drying product should he covered with cheesecloth tacked to a frame for protection from dust and flying insects. If trays are rested on sup ports placed in pans of water the products will be protected from craAvling insects. Care must be takf en to provide protection from rain, dew and moths. During rain and just before sunset the products should be taken indoors. Drying By Artificial Heat. Drying by artificial heat is done in the oven or on top of a cook stove or range, in trays suspended over the stove or in a specially constructed drier built at home or purchased. , 1 The simplest form of oven dry ing is to place small quantities of foodstuffs on plates in a slow oven. To keep the heat from being too great, leave the oven door partially open. For oven use a simple tray may be made of galvanized wire Home-Makers' Guild of N. Y. Reports Success of Novel Experiment. Reports from the Home-Makers' Guild of New York City, sent to the United States Department of La bor, announce ""the success of a novel experiment in standardizing domestic service. Patrons of the guild outline the household tasks to be acocmplished. They enumerate members of the family, tell how many rooms the house or apartment' contains,--and describe the character of the meals to be cooked. The household work er asigned to the special home is paid on a fixed scale per hour, but she received her money from the guild and so has no financial deal ings with her employer. The trend of this sort of service is toward trained specialists who will gradually raise social as well as industrial ideals of domestic em ployment. Men as well as women are supplied by the guild and in that way all neavy worK is aone Dy those best fitted for it. The cost of attendants that are more or less professional is neces sarily high, and for that reason the guild's clientele must be limited to the well to do. As the plan is suit able for large cities only, there must be less costly solutions for the ever present servant problem. And in this conection is emphasized the fact that the elimination of the word "servant" is one step toward the enlistment of a better class of workers and the gradual improve ment of conditions surrounding do mestic employment of every sort 0 IHIIIHIIill III! Next Week Is Supreme Ham and Bacon Week At All Basket Stores It's the flavor that counts in food, isn't it? Baked Ham, for instance, may be fragrant, juicy and as tender under your knife as young fowl, but if it doesn't taste right, you forget everything else. And Bacon, too, of all foods, must have that "just right" flavor, whether you like it crisp and crunchy, or maybe not quite so well done. BASKET STORES are advertising and selling MORRIS' SUPREME HAMS AND BACON in every one of our Sixty-Seven BASKET STORES all next week, because we believe them to be of the highest quality obtainable and of a flavoi that will stand the Supreme Test of Tasting. Just try these Hams and Bakn with BASKET STORES; SELECTED EGGS-the ideal combination and you'll enjoy a Treat.

At each corner, this tray should have a leg an inch or two in length, to hold it up from the bottom of the oven and permit circulation of air around the pro duct. , A drier of shelves of screening may be suspended from the ceiling over the kitchen stove. Air Blast Electric Fan. The use of an electric fan is an effective means of drying. Sliced vegetables or fruits are placed on trays one foot wide and three feet long. These trays are stacked and the fan placed close to one end, with the current directed along the trays, lengthwise. The number of trays to be used is regulated by the size of the fan. Drying by this process may be done in 24 hours or less. Preparing Food Material for Drying The fruits and vegetables should be sliced from an eighth to a quar ter of an inch in thickness. Whether sliced or cut into strips the pieces should be small so as to dry quick ly. They should not, however, be so small as to make them hard, to handle. String beans , are usually split lengthwise. Blanching is desirable for suc cessful vegetable drying. It gives more thorough cleansing, removed objectionable odors and flavors, and softens and loosens the fiber, allow ing quicker and more uniform evaporation of the moisture, and gives better color. It is done by placing the . vegetables in a piece of cheesecloth, and plunging into boiling water for about 5 minutes. Then plunge into cold water, and pat off surplus moisture with towels. Care After Drying. To condition the dried product, pour from one box to another once a day ior three or fours days before storing in containers with tight fitting lids. The dried products should be stored in a cool, dry, well ventilat ed place, protected from rats, mice and insects. Cold Pack Canning. 'In the first article on cold pack canning, we discussed the terms em ployed in the process and the neces sary apparatus. In this article we will take up the actual steps in the process, the time for each step, and the yield in cans of different fruits and vegetables. Steps in the Canning. 1. Pick over and wash the food. 2. Put the jars on to sterilize. 3. Blanch the food for the re quired time. 4. Cold dip. 5. Pack in sterilized jars. 6. Fill jar to one-quarter inch from the top with water or sirup. 7. Adjust the. top loosely. If One is using mason jars screw the top till it just catches. If using spring top jars, do not tighten the spring. 8. Put the jars into a water bath containing enough water to extend two inches above the tops of the jars. Process the required time, counting time from the beginning of boiling. 9. Remove jars from hot water bath, and tighten tops. Test the seal of the jars before putting away in a dark cool place.

Prominent among those returning to peace time social activities are the two beautiful titled daughters of Got Into v4Y,v Now Can't Get; Out So Girl Turns Home Into Canteen Some doughboys, after a year in the trenches, want to sleep, eat and otherwise live in the open air; sail ors miss the roll and pitch of the boat,; and artillerymen feel at home in the din of their batteries. Miss Josephine Hernon, a returned Y. M. C. A. worker, so enjoyed her can teen work abroad that now she can not stop. Though she has doffed her "Y" uniform, and there is no "Y" sign on her door, to all intents and purposes her New York home has become, a canteen. Miss Hernon went overseas as secretary to the Y. M. C. A. movie director in London. A temporary, lapse in her work gave her the chance to go to Ireland, and for six weeks she served in a "Y" canteen in Queenstown. Dances, teas, ama teur shows, musicales, more dances one after the other the New York girl turned them out, and in such a bewildering series that the worst case of "blues" had no chance at all in her domain. She became the idol of every homesick "gob" on the south Irish coast. Then the crash came. In the: midst of the fun, Miss Hernon was whisked back to London, leaving behind her a crowd of heartbroken boys. But there was a great fare well, and some dozens of sailor lads insisted that at least she could write to them once in a while, which she promised to do.' " '..-' f She kept her promise, and, at the present time, though she is no long er a Y. M. C. A. girl. Miss Hernon is corresponding with 25 of her boys. Also, every returning boat that brings any of her old "house party" in Ireland, sends some hope ful gob rushing uptown to her New York home to pay his respects . to his former hostess. And there, to his amazement, he finds a canteen de luxe that puts even the Queens town one in the shade. Miss Hernon has four sisters, ranging in age fr'om 16 to 23. She also has two brothers, and they have entered into the spirit of the lark of entertaining all that part of the navy that sets foot in the Hernon home.

There are also home made candy, sandwiches and cake that make the lucky visitors care less of whether they ever go to sea again. The result is that Miss Her non is the most successful "Y" can-teen-worker-without-a-canteen in the world. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN. Veils are an essential part of the present day hat trimmings. A very smart navy blue is of a coarse mesh andn has a border of chiffon in a double row of hemstitched squares. It is $3.50. And then there is a large black one in a large heavy mesh with, a five-inch marquisette border. This is $2.25. Turn the decanter upside down after washing it and let water from the cold water faucet drip over it. In about five minutes the inside will be dry and if you carefully wipe and rub the outside it will have a high lustre. Novel string girdles to be worn with the sweater and summer frocks are of braided silk in plain and multi-colored effects. The latter will match any grament. When fastened about the waist and loosely looped at the sides these make an effective trimming. A nice one can be had at $5.75.

You know that Many times you've visited friends in their homes where the bathroom was a "thing of beauty and cleanli ness." There's no reason why the owner of a home, new or old, should be satisfied with anything but the best. Thomas Maddock's Sanitary PJumbing Fixtures are considered the best that money can produce. But because they are superior in quality does not mean they are the most expensive. The best fixtures are always the cheapest in the long run, because they seldom if ever require repairs. When you build or renew, include in your plans bathroom equipment of glistening white Vitreous China, made by Thomas Maddock's' Sons Company and guaranteed by them.
