The Little Fish.
“Dear mother,’’ said a little fish,
“Pray is not that a fly?
I’m very hungry, and I wish
You’d let me go and try.”
“Sweet innocent,” the mother cried,
And started from her nook,
“That horrid fly is put to hide
The sharpness of a hook.”
Now, as I’ve heard, this little trout
Was young and foolish too,
And so he thought he’d venture out,
To see if it were true.
And round about the hook he played,
With many a longing look,
And —“Dear me,” to himself he said,
“I’m sure that’s not a hook.
“I can but give one little pluck;
Let’s see, and so I will.”
So on he w’ent, and lo! it stuck
Quite through his little gill.
And as he faint and fainter grew.
With hollow voice he cried,
“Dear mother, had I minded you,
I need not now have died.”

A SPLENDID SUGGESTION.
Dear Mrs. Lee: I was delighted to see
the Woman’s Page come back to the
Weekly Jeff, and now I hope that we
Jeffersonian women will show our
appreciation of the department by
making it so interesting and helpful
that it will never disappear again,
even temporarily.
Let’s get to work and write so
many letters until it will keep Mrs.
Lee busy reading them—so many
and they so good until she will be
imploring the “Chief’ to give us two
pages instead of one. Don’t you
think we can do it? lam sure we
can. Just get at it. Tell us what
you think about women’s suffrage,
what kind of men and women you

Ladies Dressing and House Sack.
This neat little dressing sack lias
many practical features. It may be
finished with square neck opening
or with the turn over collar, and
the sleeves may be made in either of
two lengths. The % inch tucks in
front give a pleasing amount of full
ness, as well as serving as a simple
trimming. The pattern is cut in six
sizes: 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 inches,
bust measure. It requires 2*/ 2 yards
of 3G inch material for the 36 inch
size.

want your boys and girls to be. How
you solved the servant problem—if
you have solved it. Give us your
best recipies and the little helps and
conveniences that you have discov r
ed or invented or appropriated in
house keeping. If you know some
thing that might help someone else,
pass it on.
And now I will give you my recipe
for a splendid plain cake, which some
people have mistaken for pound cake.
Two cups of sugar and one of but
ter, stirred and beaten to a cream.
Six eggs; break the eggs one at a
time into the butter and sugar and
beat two or three minutes after ad
ding each one. Beat thoroughly after
the eggs are all in> then add one cup
of rich sweet milk, and four cups of
flour into which has been well sifted
two teaspoonsful of baking powder.
Flavor this cake with lemon, and
bake in a moderate oven.
To make a delicious loaf cocoanut
cake, use this same recipe, leaving
out one cup of the flour and adding
one grated cocoanut.
I also use this same recipe for
several kinds of layer cake, baking
the cake in layers and putting to
gether with any kind of filling de
sired.
As in every thing else, to make a
success of cake making you must
use your own common sense and in
dividuality. The cake may some
tmes require a little more or a little
less flour or some other ingredient
than the recipe calls for. It depends
somewhat upon the temperature, the
quality of the materials used —and
other “extenuating circumstances,”
as the lawyers say.

Comment: I would indeed appreciate
it if the readers of the Woman’s Page
would follow the line suggested by
S. T. P. I w’ould then know just
what points would be of most inter

+ BORROWED RECIPES. t
GUMBO SOUP.
One young chicken; fry it brown;
make a thickened gravy. While the
chicken is frying steam four large
tomatoes and peel them; cut one
pint of okra and boil it (cut four
large ears of corn if in season, in the
okra—it is a great addition). Put
chicken, okra, gravy, tomatoes, corn,
salt and one large pod of red pepper
in a stew pan with two large cups of
boiling water. Boil one hour slowly
and take the chicken bones out with
a spoon before serving.
NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER.
Fry some salt pork cut into small
pioces. Cut up five small onions
and fry with the pork about ten min
utes. Cut up eight common sized
potatoes and boil with the rest fif
teen minutes. Put the soft parts in,
boil not more than ten minutes, then
add the hard parts and crackers and
boil five minutes. Put in one-half
cup of milk. Sprinkle in pepper to
taste at intervals. Let the kettle
stand on the back of the stove for
ten minutes to season.
FRICASSEE OF FOWL.
Take a fowl as plump and tender
as you can get it, clean it thoroughly
and wash inside and out. Then cut
up, taking pains to disjoint it prop
erly; put into a kettle and nearly
cover with cold water. Rub first
with salt pepper and a little sage.
Bring to a boil, then set back, closely
covered, where it will just simmer
until it is done. When very tender
remove the chicken from the broth,
keeping hot. Skim off all the fat
from the liquor and set it where it
will boil up well. Season more, if
needed, and add one pint of cream if
possible, or rich milk. Let come to
a boil, then draw back of the stove
and stir in quickly the well beaten
yolk of an egg and a tablespoon of
chopped parsley. Have the chicken
-arranged upon a platter, leaving a
hollow in the center. Take hot cream
of tartar biscuits, split and lay in the
hollow upon the platter and then
pour the cream and egg gravy over
chicken and biscuits and serve at
once.
POTATO POSSIBILITIES.
Potatoes Finnegan.
First make an ordinary white sauce
seasoned with salt and pepper and
one tablespoonful of finely-chopped
shallot. Have in readiness some
cooked potatoes, cut into dice, and
half the quantity of cooked carrots
lightly chopped. Stir this to the
sauce and allow’ them to get
thoroughly hot in it, and then serve
sprinkled with finely-chopped parsley.
Potatoes a I’ancienne.
Peel six potatoes and cut them
into slices. Melt 3 oz. of butter in
a stew pan, put in the potatoes, add
a little salt, and cook them over a
gentle fire turning them frequently.
When they are nearly cooked pour
over them a small cup of milk to
which has been added a w’ell-beaten
egg and a little grated cheese. Con-

Potato Chowder.
Cut a slice of salt pork in dice and
fry until brown, adding a small onion
sliced very thin. Don’t let the onion
brown, but put it in after the pork
has started to cook. Have ready
one or two medium sized potatoes
sliced very thin and about a quart
of hot water. Without removing fat
scraps or onion put water and pota
toes in Xhe pot and boil until pota
toes are soft enough to mash with a
fork. Mash a part of them, which
slightly thickens the chowder. Add
a cup of rich milk, season to taste
and serve with biscuit. It may also
be made with cold mashed potatoes
cold boiled potatoes and cold boiled
onion, and if desired add a lump of
butter and omit the pork.
