Curtains
Here’s an idea for keeping your lace
or scrim, net or swiss curtains clean;
Make one extra pair when you make
the curtains. Then each week or each
two weeks as necessary, tak.? down
one pair of curtains tha’’ are beginning
to look soiled, and put up the extra
pair instead. Wash the soiled pair,
and have them ready to put up at
another window the next w’eek, or the
second week after, ut necessity indi
cates, so that another stdied pair may
be washed.
Thus you always havf|,j:leanjcu^-
tains, you never have more Tlian cne
pair to wash at a time, and you don’t
have that ugly spectach of a curtain
less house for three or four days while
the curtains are laundering.
The only hitch in iniS plan 'S ihat
your windows may not all be the same
length. In this case you would have
to have all the curtains made for the
longest window, and then when they
were used on the shorter windows you
cOuld turn over an extra f.>ld and
baste it at the top.
Or, you could have two extra pairs,
one for the short windows arid one
for the longer ones. Either way would
work out satisfactorily.
Spanish Loaf
This calls for one can of spinach,
four cups boiled rice, two cups white
sauce and one red pepper. Mix sauce
with the rice, chopped spinach and
pepper. Pour into a loaf and bake
twenty minutes.
I come from haunts of coot and h.ern,
I 'make a sudden sally,,
And sparkle out among the fern
To bicker down the valley.
By thirty hills I huiry down.
Or slip*between the ridges.
By twenty thorps, a little town.
And half a hundred bridges.
Till last by Philip’s farm I flow
To join the brimir.mg river.
For men may come and men may go.
But I go on forever.
I chatter over stony ways
In little sharps and trebles.
I bubble into eddying bays,
I babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks I fret.
By many a field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland se^ft.
Wjth willow-weed and mallow.
I chatter, chatter as I flow
To join the brimming river.
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
I wind about, and in and out.
With here a blossom sailing.
And here and there a lusty trout.
And here and there a grayling.
And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me as I travel.
With many a silvery water-break
Above the golden gravel.
And draw them all along, and flow
To join the brimming river.
For men may come and men may go.
But I go on forever.
I steal by lawns and grassy plots,
I slide by hazel covers,
I move the sweet forget-me-nots
That grow for happy lovers.
I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance
Among my skimming swallows,
I make the netted sunbeams dance
Against my sandy shallows.
I murmur under moon and
In brambly wildernesses;
I linger by my shingly bars,
I loiter round my cresses;
And on again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river.
For men may come and men may go.
But I go on forever.

these comes only as a result of care

Giblet Gravy Survivor
of Pilgrim’s Festival
Despite the reveresce still lieltl for
the first Thnnksgiving and the eliih
orjite menu that is supiiosed ft» iiave
been presented to tlie Pilgrim guests
about all it has -left to posterity Is
glhlet gravy.
“Tliere were many shortcomings In
the original feast,” says Farm iind
Fireside, reviewing the historic event,
“but It left tbe gravy that stiil re
mains one of the ^features of every
great Thanksgiving dinner.
“The original New England dinner
was far trow thpse that have been
enjoyed since, from the beginning of
the Nineteenth century until now.
The oldest narratives of this feast re
fer to five deer, a gift from the In
dians. being served on huge pewter
platters. There were also wild tur
keys weighing from 30 to 40 p«>und.s.
Sugar was scarce, and honey, extract
ed from hollow trees, was used for
-sweetening punmaes. Drie<l corn, st^
cnreil from the I^dinns, was made
Into corn bread, enough of a novelty
to be most popular.
“Several napkins were given to each
person. Ami needed tliey were, for
forks were not in use. Trenchers took
the place of plates and two persons
ate fii'in each one. Cups were not in
use. The Pilgrims had two or three
tankards. These were pas.sed around
the table, each person drinking bis
share in turn.
“But there was giblet gravy and It
soon became a specialty of the New
England cooks. It survived through
out all the famous kitchens of noted
persons since that time, the table of
.Incoh Thompson, secretary of Interhn
under President James Buchanan, be
ing especially famed for the dish. It
was made of heavy cream thickened
with flour and mixed with water in
which the glhlets, wing tips and ne<k
had been boiled. Rice and buttered
asparagus were served with the gravy
as Its use increased after Pilgrim
days.”
PEACE AND PLENTY
!■ winter, plan* tre make, with tender art.
Recalling fertile earth beneath the enow;
And springtime thrills anew the human heart
With promires (air aa the flowers that blow
1b summer, wc enjoy the sun’s bright rays.
Or watrh (he rain, from shelter of the wood;
And learn that r alienee sanctifies our days.
That all things work together for our good
But now tbe fields have yielded up their store
Like Ind'an wigwam*, shocks of sorghum
* ai d;
rho grain-fled barns no longer cry for more.
Peace and contentment lia upon the land.
So, after la^or, comes th* day of rest;
We feel and know Thanksgiving tima is best
