its place a narrow oilcloth border
might be used. Above the base we
used a white paper to match the oil-

In Memoriam,
Only a slender maple tree
I plauted for his sake;
There every day before my shrine
I bow a prayer to make.
His every deed my rosary,

My heart is sore, my eyes are dim,
Because his pain I feel.
Sometime at eve the murmuring

And times that mielit have been.

Proportions to Remember.
Four eggs to one quart of milk
for custards.
One teaspoon of vanilla to one
quart of milk for custard.
Two quarts of gelatin to 1S', quarts
of liquid.
Four heaping tablespoons of corn-
stareh to one quart of milk.
One even tablespoon ~ of , baking
powder to one cup of flower.
One tablespoon of soda to one pint
of sour milk. One teaspoon of soda
to one pint of molasses.
One teaspoon of baking powder is
equal to ih teaspoon of soda, and one
teaspoon of cream of tartar.
In preparing for baking mix cry
materials in one bowl and liquid '•"
another, combine them quickly and
put at once into the oven.
The oven for baking bread should
be hot enough to brown a teaspoon
of flour in five minutes. For biscuits
it should brown in one minute.
