Dear Editress and Sisters of “ Woman's Work.’’ 1 can no longer resist the temptation to try my hick with the rest, so here I am. making my best bow and most humbly asking a place in your circle and hearts. For nearly four years I have been a faithful reader of the “ Housekeeper,'' with which you are all so well acquainted, and now when the dear familiar faces and names “ loom up ” in “ Woman’s Work,” farther silence is out of the question. Dear me, I had forgotten there is no sub-editor connected with this paper, and in my mind’s vision I see the “waste basket” devouring this article. Dear Miss Garland, please rescue it from such a sad fate. How glad lam to see you all; I could just fill a dozen columns singing your separate praises. Kit Clover, you darling, precious thing, I would like to hug you about fifty times, ahem—with Tom’s permission, of course. Silvia Silverthorne, you are a rare, gifted woman ; your pure, deep sen timents go straight, to the heart. And there’s the “ Little Mother,” God bless her ; she is a jewel of the first water. Where is Miss Busybody and Happy Old Maid? I see they are shiiking a little lately, but we can’t allow it, you are both sadly missed in “Woman’s Work.” O, yes, you see you are all so familiar to me that I shall just speak my mind. “ Monnie Moore,” as the children say, I can feel it in my bones, that you are the same old chum of my girlhood. Ah, Monnie, I cannot express how deeply your home chats move me; they call up memories of the past treas ured within the deepest recesses of my heart, which time nor absence will never efface. God has given you a grand talent, and I see you are using it well and to His glory. Monnie, do you remember when you wrote the “ Fisherman’s Daughter ?” you were thirteen and I not yet ten. I would patiently fold my hands and give close and rapt attention, as each chapter was read for my approval. The golden dreams we used to weave about our great and lofty future comes back as I pen these lines, and I sadly realize how imperfectly mine have been fulfilled. Dear sisters, in so many of your letters I read how smooth ly the household machinery moves on. dow, tell me, is it always that way? I am in such a dilemma. This morning a man came to paper the kitchen—did T tell you I am engaged in that delightful work —house-cleaning—well, I am, and as I was saying about the man after he had papered the ceiling, he discovered there was not enough of the side wall-paper, and none like it in town, as it was bought in the city; he departed, blandly informing me that he would surely return to-morrow and finish; but I think that is the last I will see of him until—well, say Saturday afternoon, and I will have to rush about until midnight to get things straight for Sunday. Now, you will all perceive by this that everything is running along in apple-pie order at my home. I am all through, only the kitchen, and I always think that’s the worst room to clean, for there are so many little things to be moved and set to rights. I find gasoline is good to clean cherry staining. Yes, Monnie, coal oil is good for cleaning oil-cloth. I have used it a number of years. Have any of you ever used “ Merrel’s Washing Com pound ?” its just splendid ; try it. I lived in Mexico several years and learned a great deal about foreign dishes. If the sisters desire, I will tell them how to make the famous Italian “ Yorena.” Its a delight ful dish, I think, but is very tedious to make. I will also tell you how the Ma jore Indians cook a meal which will last them three days. We lived near them in California, and have often visited their camp and watched them. Jessie Lynch, you are the same girl I used to love so dearly. If you can guess the identity of Monnie Moore you will surely know me as well. 1 must close and restore a semblance of order to my partly cleaned kitchen. Sincerely your sister, in heart, Dorothy Deane. Editress of “ Woman's Work.’’ I have received two copies of your most | excellent paper and am charmed with it. : My whole household (and it is not a small household, either,) enjoys it as much as “Mamma” does. I think it just the kind of paper that we of the present day need to instruct and elevate our social and intel lectual faculties and tastes. The general information contained in its columns must prove of value in our domestic work. Now let all good housewives contribute to its pages their recipes, experiences, etc., and your Woman’s Work will be an invalu able acquisition to our work table and pantry. Success to the paper and your efforts. Your readers will find the following are excellent recipes, and if prepared accord ing to directions, success is sure: Velvet Sponge Cake—Two coffee cups, sugar, six eggs, one coffee cup boiling water, two and a half coffee cups flour, one tablespoonful baking powder. Leave out three whites of the eggs. Beat the yolks a little, add sugar, beat fifteen minutes, add the three beaten whites and cup boiling water and the flour; flavor with any ex tract and bake in layers, putting between icing made of the three whites left out, beaten well with six desertspoons of sugar, and flavor. Salmon Salad—Take one can salmon, shreded, mix one-quarter pound oyster crackers broken up. Then take yolk of four eggs, hard boiled, teaspoonful mustard, pinch of salt. With this prepare dressing with teacup vinegar; pour over the salmon and crackers. Cut whites of eggs in rings and put on top. Some butter added to the dressing is an improvement. Respectfully, Mrs. E. G. Hardeman, Clinton, Ga, Dear Woman s Work : I cannot resist the temptation of writing to say I heartily agree with your remarks on “training husbands.” I know from experience, and endorse every word you say. I have a good husband and consider it a duty to have as good meals as I can— or I should say, try to have something he likes. I am always sure that I will get my new dress or bonnet —if he can afford it, and sometimes he gets things that he cannot afford, if he thinks I will be pleased. Be kind and loving; that will do more than filling your husband on a good din ner. If you love him, tell him so occasion ally. Do you not like to have him tell you he loves you? Perhaps some of you will say, “She has not been married long.” I have, though, almost 13 years. I am afraid my letter is rather long, but when I get as good a subject, I do not know when to quit. Perhaps some day I will write and tell you how I help decorate my house with home made ornaments. I find directions for making many from reading “Woman’s Work.” Yours truly, Lodi, Cal. lanthe. Dear Editress: — I believe I have caught a small portion of “ Monnie Moore’s” feel ing, viz.: that of laying aside everything and sitting down to write. I will tell you what inspired me with such a desire this morning. As I was about to starch some shirts and collars for ironing. I was thinking I did not dread ironing starched clothes as much as form erly, and that because one kind sister told us how to prevent them sticking. When I repeat “ wash enough soap in starch to make a lather,” that sister will readily recognize her own advice. "Will she please accept my warmest thanks. 1 read with much interest everything Woman’s Work contains. Should you do me the favor printing this, I may write again. Esther. Dear Woman's IForA:. - I’ve made a pretty and convenient work bag that some one may want to duplicate. I used a square of silesia, about three-quart ers of a yard, edged all around with blue and white lace. With a string and pencil I drew on it a ring as large as it would contain, on which I stitched a casing for draw-string. When doing work that shows i dirt readily or catches lint from a dress’ my work-bag is spread outon my lap for an apron,and when I stop, a pull at the draw string encloses all in a bag, and the lace trimmed corners fall over, giving it a pret ty finish. A fine linen or silk handkerchief can be finished same way for sachet-bag. I have many more suggestions and com ments in my mind, but am afraid of being considered by our editor as too talkative, and I want her approval, so I can come again. , e Albe ; [We always have plenty of room tor | good suggestions. —Ed.] ROYAI F (ROYAL POWDER LUTELY IB fil POWDER Absolutely Pure.
