Use no flour in this omelet. A sister called for Meringue that would not wrinkle when cut. Try this: ¢ Whites of two eggs for a pie. Beat until stiff and dry: or so when plate is turned upside down, the egg will adhere to it (use silver fork instead of egg beater), then add gradually 1 level tablespoon of fine granuiated su gar to each egg; beat hard; flavor to suit taste; beat again: place on pie in spoon fulls (rougher it is put on prettier it looks when taken from the oven), Be sure not have oven too hot, as it will rise too quick, only to fall when taken out. Do not place where cold air will trike it when first taken from oven. Better place back in re- of stove a few moments.

I had never scen our national capital, and I was very anxious to see my friends, and I felt that here was a chance for me to “kill two birds with one atone.” 1 wish I had the gift ¢f narrating in a brief yet interesting way, for then I could tell about all the m_terexllns’ sights I saw in that beautiful city. Not having that gift, I am only going to write of what interested me most of all, and perbaps it may prove of some Interest to readers of the Cor- ner. As my visit was to be a short one, my friends asked me to teil just which places 1 had rather see, so as to be sure and get them in anyway. I an- swered that Washington's home at Mount Vernon was the place I wanted to see most of all. They were having in Washington the same unusually warm_weather for December that we were having in Norwlich, and the day we set to go to Mount Vernon was like & day in the early spring. The day be- ing so fine, we decided to take a little lunch for the children, so that we could stay as long as possible on the estate. We also decided to go on the electric cars rather than by the little steamer. . The trip was very interesting. After we had been going perhaps half an hour the conductor told us to raise our shades up high, that we were about to pass through the old city of Alexandria, Va.,, and he pointed out the different places of interest from there on. He also had books, post- cards and souvenirs of Washington and Mount Vernon for sale, and end- ed by presenting each one with a booklet. By the time we reached our destination every one was in the besi f spirits. ; Asnsonn as we left the car we start- ed up the path which led to the en- trance gate. We had taken but a few steps when a man stepped up to my friend and very politely asked her if the bundle which she carried in her hand contained lunch. Being told that it did, he informed us, still very ]10-] litely, that no one was allowed to car- ry lunch into the grounds. When we came out we could call for it'at the waiting room or station. Of course we gave it up, but as we walked on up the path we did a little sputtering E ourselv as we pald the entrance fee and enter- ed the old-fashioned box-bordered gar- den. 1 suddenly felt as if T was living in an earlier generation. The chil- dren, too, 1 noticed, seemed impressed with the place; for they did mot have to be told to be quiet, but were quiet of their own acco: s they walked slowly in front of through the beautifully kept waiks of the old gar- | den, which, so we told them, George | Washihgton had owned and loved s0 v vears before. s we made the { of the mansion house was the w ma p by car, our first | view | west view, so we decided 1o g0 around the front or south view, where, | to s magnificent view anding on the brosd piazza, we had a of the Potomaec and | the surrounding country for miles. Then walking down a few yards we turned and stood gazing (like persons from the country gaze for the t time at the tall buildings In New York) at the outside of the home of George Washington. As I said before, it was very mild weather for Decem- ber. The grass wgs almost ag green as in the summer, the sky 50 blue, and the sun a#& it shone on the pure white paint of the house made a pic- ture which I shall long remember, A sign, “Enter Here,” we noticed at a rear door, and so thought the kitchen would be the first room we would ses. But the room proved to be | the banquet hail, The attendant wore a police badge (and one felt his eves |on one constantly), but he was v | courteous, however, and he told u | gentlemen’s houses in George W | ingten’s day the cooking and baking was never dene in the heuse preper, that we would find the kitchen a sep- arate building by itself, connected te the house by a covered archway, with some kind of a stone floor; but I am getting ahead of my story The banquet hall was a larg- reem. 1 was more impressed with the thought of who had banqueted there than I was with the furnishings of the room, A VISIT TO WASHINGTON'S HOME By a Social Corner Writer v altheugh I remember the fireplace, hearth and mantel in this roem par= ticularly, were very heautiful. Te was & fine ol painting of Washington hanging over the mantel. We were al- lewed to walk about and loek at every- thing fn this reem. The fireplace, hearth and mantel had a brass ralling around them as a protection. The doorways of the music room and west parior were barred, but the doors were open and we c¢ould look in as long as we wished. 1In the music room the harpsicopd, a wedding present to Nel- lie Custis from George Washington,was perhaps the most interesting thing in the room. The furniture in the west parlor and private dining room would make an antique collector green with envy —beautiful mahogany pleces, clocks, vases, andirons, ete. In order to gain the front hall and staircase and not pass through the prohibited rooms, we had to go out & rear door, §o along the piazsa and en- ter the house by the front door. I stood in the front hall in front of the case in which was Washington's sword in- tently reading to whom he had left his sword, and for what purpose, only it was to be unsheathed, when my friend sald there was something in the room at the left which she thought would interest me. We stood at the doorway of this room (we were not allowed to enter), and on the shelf was a clock just ex- actly like one I have in my own home in Norwich, which, in the course of time, had fallen to me. How proud I felt! The attendant told me that roém was Mrs. Washington's private sitting Toom, The first bedroom we saw after mounting the stairs was that of Nellie Custls. The bureau or dressing case in this room was so beautiful that I went baCk 2 second time todook at it. Of course, the room on this floor which we most wanted to see was ‘Waghington's bedroom. It was a large room and between two.large windows through which the sun was streaming, stood the “four-poster,” with its can- opy of white, edged with white fringe. His chair and trunk were among the other interesting things in the room. We were not allowed to enter and had to wait our turn at the doorway. Climbing the steep attic stirs we sought Mrs. Washington’s bedroom. It wag a small room with a slanting front wall, occupted by Mrs. Washington after her husband’'s - death, because from its one window she could see the tomb of her husband. Having spent so much time in the mansion house we now sought the kitchen buflding. Here the huge fire- place with its oven for baking, the pewter plates and platters on the wall and the long table in the middle of the room, for the servants, were of inter- est. Two women had charge of this room. Directly outside was the well with a pump; here were sanitary drinking cups, the only modern thing I noticed upon the place. The carriage house, a bullding by it- self, we next visited. Here was the family coach, a cumbersome affair with three steps to climb In order to enter. We next found the old tomb: there was no attendant there, and we did not linger, as we were anxious to see the new tomb, The driveway and paths, and, in fact, the whole estate, as far as we could see, was beautifully kept, and as we walked down the path which led to Washington's tomb, I tald my frlend they were right in not al- lowing anyone to bring lunch into the grounds, for while we would not throw papers, ete,, aroumd, some people might and my friend agreed with me. The door of the tomb was made of iron bars and so were able to see inside. At the right (as you faced the gate) en- closed in white marble (I judged it was marble), lay all that remains of Gen. George Washington, At the left, his wife, Martha Washington. Botween them, but nearer the right, was & largs form of beautiful roses—fresh that day, The attendance here was an old colored man, At the lefi of the tomb was a grove of trees, some of them planted by cel- ebrated men of this and other coun- tries, We left the old darky walking back and forth in front of the tomb. It ‘was time for us to go: we had spent a delightful day, and as we walked back through the box-bordered garden, 1 told my friend that If I saw nothing else while in Washingten, I should go back to Norwich perfectly satlsfied, having seen Mount Vernon, caught the inspiration from the prac- tical guggestion. Aunty: Since you have such good success with the training of your chil dren, would you kindly tell me of | appetizing viands that needs must be put in the lunch box, with directions to make?

One can add one-half teaspoon of vanilla and two teaspoons of strong coffee. These all seem good to me. HANNAH WHO. ‘Willimantic, WOMAN’S RECORD IN PUBLIC LIFE FEditor of the Social Corner: In Co- solid’s letter she states: “I have mno- ticed no actual change in political con~ ditions which might be credited to the women as voters, unless it be the gen- dissatlsfaction which seems to provail in the states.” 1 have too much interest in my own sex to allow this statement to paes uncorrected. 1 feel v sure that Co- solid would not willingly misrepresent the noble women who have unselfishly for the good of humanity. May I recall to her, mind the mayor- alty campaign in &‘eame, ‘Wash., two ears ago, the most noted in municipal istory, as it attracted the attention of the whole nation. In 1910 Hiram C. Gill was elected mayor on a wide open platform, which he proceeded immediately to make good. Seattle became the synonym for all that was most vile in civic In- dec&n(‘{. In November of the same year Washington enfranchised its women citizens. In less than three months the women voters banded to- gether for the recall of this bad may- or. How glorious was their victory is past history and I do not need to re- peat it here. I cannot forget either how nobly our reputable newspapers gave the credit of this victory to the women voters of Seattle. Time rolled round for the election of mayor and the “Hi"” ill element worked for the re-election of Gill. His opponent for good gov- ernment was George F. Cotterall, who stood for all that makes for the better- ment of the home and the nation. Added to the viclous vote which was lid for Gill was the seifish vote of certain mercantile interests that would profit by a return -to the city of the class of women who spend money freely for extravagant personal ajorn- ment. The home-loving, God-fearing. patriotic citizens had the stupendous task of overthrowing these united in- terests. How fearlessly and energetic- ally the enfranchised women worked shouider to shoulder with the good men of Seattle is of such recent oc- currence I need only refer to it to recall it to the minds of the readers of the BSocial Corner. They fought a good fight and won by a majority of 645 for George F. Cotterals The discontented, disgruntied citizens of a greater Seat- tle were not the self sacrificing men and women who so valiantly worked to wipe out forever the stain of legalized vice. A certain class of people Who expected to profit in the event of the defeat of good citizenship unquestion- ably did grumble when they realized that the one thing left for them to do was {0 buy tickets out of .the city as quickly as possible. Theodore Roosevelt in a recent artl- cle in The Outlook said of the recall of Mayor Gill: “When ] passed through Beattle last spring it had just finished an election in which a most nesded bit of political housecleaning had been Eerlcrmed, and the votes of the women ad been a potent factor in securing decent government.” E Twice Seattle has heen saved by her women., What the good women of Seattle have donm for their city the good women of every city will do for theirs when the cime comes that they have a voice in the election of officers. What we want is the opportunity, It will surely come. Connectlcut is full of fair-minded men who are working for us. The New York Times has had to acknow- ledge that “the movement for egual right,” political and legal, is no longer regarded as a joke by legislators or pubHeists.” The critics are constantly asserting that there are no prominent women desiring the vote. How about Selma Lagerlof and Baroness Bertha von Suttner? Each won the $40,000 Nobel prize by their literary work, and they, too, are ardent suffragists. Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, has no superior as a speaker either among men or women, and she says women must have the vote. I have been in California, Colorado and Utah, and it was my good fortune to come in contact with some of the finest men #nd women who were for woman suffrage. I will mentlon two whe are well known: Mrs. Rober: Burdette, whose husband is kncwn the world over. Mrs. Burdette {5 a most graclous, cultured, intellectual ~ Christian woman, the queen of a beautiful home, the idol of her husband and son. Her varied tal- enis and large wealth are devoted to every good movement, and especially to woman suffrage. 1 have been in her home. I have listened to her elo- quent pleadings for the sanctity of the home and for womanhood on the ros- trum and everywhere she has been the refined leader of the true American democracy which has landed Californla in the ranks of woman's suffrage. Mrs. Decker is as well known as tha leader in Colorado. The one woman invited by the president to meet the governors at the White House, and s now heing considered ag a candidate for our next congress. She. ton. has been an exemplary wife and mother: therefore fitted fo lead the nohle band of women who have won suffrage for Colorado One of the firgt thing< the women of Los Angelez did after electioh was to demand of the state hoard of health the names of all firms manufacturing or dealing in impure or adulterated foodstuffs. Their purpose was to pro- tect the homes of the state by publish- ing the names. Can the antis show any better work for the home? In every s where suffrages has been & ed the governors, judges, inisters and men of ail professions o {estified to the good resulis of woman's suffrage. They \ would fiil than The Bulletin has, Can any ask for higher or better wit- nesses that these? Women are no more infallfble than men, and will make mistakes.

I envy you all who have one of your own, as it is seldom my good fortune to have one. 1 want to tell yeu of the way I cook milkweeds, that we think are nearly as good as asparagus. Break the tops off as far down as they are tender, strip off all the leaves but two or three tiny ones at the top, cover with hot water—water to which you have added a tiny pinch of soda, ILet boil fifteen minutes, drain, add more hot water, and some salt, cook until ten- der; drain; place in serving dish; pour over the following mixture—amount according to quantity of milkweed you have: {1k or cream; & piece of but- ter; pepper and salt, heated together, By cutting off the milkweed (then cut off tops), they will spring up anew, and be very tender; and you can have them right along. Aunt Jerush: calke is all right. my ple recipe: Rhubarb Pie—Beat in a large bowl 1 egg, very light, add 1 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, a tablespoon of flour and beat well; then stir in 1 cup heaping full of rhubarb cut in small pieces; Your rhubarb short- ; 1 want you to try i meet misfortune. bake In two crusts; or try this way— One large cup of sliced rhubarb, 1-2 cup of chopped raising, 1 cup sugar, a pinch of ealt, 2 crackers rolled fine, bake In two crusts. }'{.‘hels have al- ways proved good with me, = BEE.

You know some time ago you wrote of his being crap-bound, and that you opened his crop, taking the contents out. You are more of a hen doctor than I am, for I could cut his head off easier than cutting his crop open and sewing It wp again, When I have a fowl that ‘becomes crop-bound, I pour a littie castor oil, or sweet oll, into its mouth, making it swallow it. I then hold the fowl’s legs and begin at the top of the crop, and gently press and work the contents of the crop and try to loosen a small quantity. From time to time hold the fow¥s head down, and try to work out through the mowuth any that has become loosened; con- tinue pouring in the oil occasionally to keep the contents as moist as pos- stble. After the crop is emptied I put two or three graine of baking soda in water which should be kept before the fowl. I feed nothing for a dav, and then very sparingiy of soft foods until well.

Dear Soclal Corner Sisters: I wish to tall Ma something abont ferns (wild onea), the kind vou speak of. I have had stand on sldeboard for three years then died when I was sick, for lack of water. On rocks vou will also find a little tiny, narrow fern, with black, wiry stalk, and these last forever in a fer: dish. Then in the woods you will find dagger ferns which stay greer, all winter; they have very wide fronds, and thess are beautiful for the house in the early spring I sst them in the ground, cut off all old fronds,and let new ones grow, then when these new fronds are good and large repot again for winter, (A florist friend sells them at 32 each), Then thers ia another kind in the woods which are sver- green (these resemble the Boston fern) and these live a great many years the house, I always try to get some wood's earth to pot them in, if pos- sible.
