A Prominent Social Worker Passed LATE MISS IDA RONAN By the death of Miss Ida Ronan, which occurred on Monday morning, Kingston loses a devoted woman worker and the less fortunate mem- bers of the community a sincere and faithful friend. As president of the Sodality of the Children of Mary, Miss Ronan organized a Poor Relfef Society for the Roman Catholic poor and many of them will feel that they have lost a real friend. But it was not only among the members of her own church that Miss Ronan worked.

Sweet Potatoes au Gratin: Cut six large, cold, boiled (and peeled) sweet potatoes in thin slices and Place a layer of these in the bottom of a huttered baking dish: sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, and three tablespoons of brown sugar, dot over with bits of butter, and then repeat the potato-layer, the season- ings and sugar, and top all with but- tered cracker crumbs. Bake till the crumbs are brown. Serve hot. Creole Lemon Pudding: Begin by making this Lemon Mixture: Into a sauce pan put one-third cup of but- ter, 'three tablespoons of lemon Juice and the grated rind of one large lemon. Let it bubble up & mo- ment, then add one cup of granu- lated sugar and three beaten eggs and continue to cook, stirring con- stantly, until the mixture becomes thick. Now cool it and flavor with one-half teaspoon of vinegar. Spread six large slices of stale white bread with this lemon mixture and ar- range them in a baking dish.

Many have been held and others will be held shortly. The rummage sale is arranged to make money and at the same time to make it possible for people who are not in good circumstances to buy useful articles at a small cost. When the rummage sale does this it is fulfill- ing its original object and is a useful institution. But when a lot of ab-] solutely useless articles are exposed ,| for sale and sold to people who have not sense enough to refrain from buying them, the sale is an evil and certainly should not be carried on under the name of "sweet charity." People who send such things to a sale of this kind are largely re- sponsible, for when the ladies who jare in charge receive them they naturally. think the only way to get rid of them is to sell. them. The greatest care. should be taken to see that no articles used during sickness in the home should find their way to such sales. That Sir George Foster made it exceedingly plat that the peace of the world largely depended on the public opinion of the man and the woman in ordinary life. As he point- ed out, the idea of settling differ- ences by arbitration was a com- three tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and one cup of sweet cold milk and season with the grated rind from ome small lem- on. Do not cook this mixture; simp- ly pour it over the slices, set the baking dish in a shallow pan filled with a little hot water, and slip the dish in this way, into a moderate oven to bake for 50 or 60 minutes, covered. Tartare Sauce: Mix together one- fourth teaspoon of dry mustard powder, one-half teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of confectioners' sugar and a pinch of cayenne; add the yolks of two eggs and stir well, then stand the bowl in a pan of ice- cold water and bégin adding one-half cup of olive oil, drop by drop, using a wood spoon to mix. As the mixture thickens, dilute it with one and ome half tablespoons of vinegar, also adding this in very small amounts. Keep in the ice box till the dinner hour, then add to it one tablespoon- ful of chopped pickles and one tablespoon of chopped olives. (Note: The housewife who had no by so painstaking .a method, will find it a congiderable short-cut to buy a bottle of any good brand of Mayonnaise Sala# Dressing on the market and add the chopped pickles and chopped olives to it).
