IVar Leltrm or An Amrrioio Woman, by
Marie Van Vorst. Illustrated, ohn
Un Co.. New York City.
Hiss Marie Van Vorst, American
novelist, was living: at Paris, France,
before and after the beginning of the
big European war. She attended a
course of Red Cross lectures, the fruit
of which, the turned to good account
at the American Ambulance in the
Pasteur Institute, at Neuilly. at that
time under the control of Mrs. W. K.
.Vand erbilt-
Thus. you see. Miss Van Vorst lived
through actual war scenes not only
in Franco but in, other towns in Eu
rope. She now relates in this book
lier interesting- experiences, in the
form of a series of letters. One nota
ble letter was written from Nice, Italy,
to Mits B. 8. Andrews, in December,
1H14. Here is one extract:
"I was on duty at a quarter to 8,
and by 11 o'clock I had. tidied the
ward, made nine beds, dressed the
wounds of nine men after Riving
them their breakfast taken all the
temperatures, and just as I was about
to sit down and catch a breath, the
dinner hour arrived, and the serving
had to begin all over again.
"I was working in this-ward, until
the last moment, when I took the train
for Home, and I can assure you that
"when 1 turned my back on the am
bulance that night, leaving it all
fcathed round in the red of a rarely
beautiful Winter sunset, it seemed as
though I could not go, as though the
very fibers of my life were engaged
there in that merciful and touching
work.
"I do not speak of physical fatigue,
for it is hardly interesting, excepting
that the eyes swim and the hands
tremble when you want them specially
strong. j
"I remember that one night I had
been asked to a dinner at half-past 8,
which I was especially anxious to at
tend. It was the first time, that Bessie
end her husband had been asked with
rue to dinner at the house of the Mar
quise de .. and I did want to go very
xmu-h indeed.
"During my work in the American
Ambulance I always lunched and dined,
whenever I did so. in my hospital
dress, just as I was. as there was never
any time to make a toilet, and this
time 1 had finished, as I thought, my
duties and was just about to turn
away, after saying good-night to my
men, and to give up my ward to the
night nurse, when I looked over to
the ninth bed. in which the latest com
er was sitting upright, with an appeal
ing expression on his pale, agreeable
face. He -was an ordinary soldier
from the trenches, brought in late
from one of the other wards", and I
had supposed him ready for the night.
3 could not help but return to him for
the second. I asked hlra with my
heart almost failing. "Can I do any
thing for you?" "Well," he said, "I
have not closed my eyes for two
nights because my wounds are so dry.
You would not look at them, would
you?" When I took off his shirt I
found he was bandaged from his groin
almost to his armpits, and I knew that
undor those bandages would be a very
serious proposition for me to face
after 12 hours on duty. I went out
to see if 1 could not find someone more
responsible, but it Just happened that
there was no on, and hw could I
refuse to give what skill and experi
ence I had to this contingency? When
I unbandaged the poor thing I found
across his back two wounds, whose
width and whose gaping mouths cried
to Heaven. I think it took me about
half an hour to wash them, to cleanse
them and bind him up again. By that
time my hands were trembling and
my limbs were almost beyond my own
control.
"I remember driving to Cousin Lot
tie's, going in in my white clothes,
and up that beautiful stairway to the
peaceful salon, where she sat with her
two gusts on either side of her. They
were all waiting for me, with such
deep sympathy for the sons of France
and England, for whom I was caring
as best I could. All Cousin Lottie's
dear ones were on the firing line, and
she sat waiting for news. As for Le
Rous, you know what his news has
been! I could not have gone into a
more sympathetic audience, but I had
nothing to say to them. I was tired
beyord words and they saw it, and
excused me and I went home to bed,
and to those heavy, dreamless sleeps
that mercifully come after great phys
ical txhaustlon.
"In the heart of the night I awoke
again and again, thinking of the pale
faced man. who unwillingly and timid
ly had asked me, at the last moment,
to soothe those dry and crying wounds.
What if I had not done my work well?
What if some carelessness on my part
had infected those pitiful slits. I could
not sleep, and. at 7 in the gray cold of
the early morning I went back to my
ward.
"I want you to Imagine, my joy as
I opened the door upon that place
which I had grown to love. My sol
dier was sitting up in bed, his cheeks
quite pink. He held out one of his
hands to me as I crossed the floor.
"Merci, mercl, ma toeur. I slept all
nisht as I used to sleep when I was a
boy and did not know what war was."
"Vou can imagine that I was repaid for
the loss of a dinner party and the cost
of a little fatigue.
"Of course this is only one tiny in
cident, and so much more can be told
better than I can tell it. and the
stories have no end. Avour de

Voiee and Verre Control, bv Jntta Bell
Ranske. l.so. Frederick A. Stokes Co..
ew York City.
Our author, who lives in New York
City, has been for 30 years a lec
turer and teacher of voice culture, and
her book is indeed a. true friend' in
print. It is a work of special import
ance to all interested in voice training,
nd the relation of the voice to gen
eral health and well-being. It is for
, lingers, teachers, preachers, lecturers,
lawyers and all others who wish to
speak distinctly and profitably in pub
lic. Our author believes that voice
control is so simple that a child can
be taught, to apply its principles,
"whereas, through doubt and a per
verse attitude, man will continue to
question nature's simp'e device, thus
creating his own confusion. All nerv
ousness is due to ignorance."

great as a people, not only in war.

PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 20. I am wonder
ing if you can tell me how to make library
paste or any good paste for the purpose that
will not sour.
Also can you give a recipe or formula that
will make a liquid witli which to prepare
dustless dusters,
In the preparation of figs for cooking I
am always afraid they are not clean enough.
Repeated soakings and scrapings are all that
1 know to do. but I am told that when pre
pared for market some sort of acid is used
for this purpose. Do you know if this is so
and can you tell me what it is and bow it
is used? I really do not think they are
fit to eat,- but they have always been cooked
in our family. I do not know that any of
these things are really in your line, but if
you should be able to answer any of the
questions through your column in The Ore
gonian I shall be greatly obliged. M. M.
FOLLOWING is an excellent, easily
prepared library paste which will
keep fairly well in a covered jar:
Library Paste One cup flour, two
cups water, one teaspoon alum, one
teaspoon glycerine, a few drops oil of
wintergreen.
Mix the flour and water to a smooth
paste and cook carefully, stirring and
beating all the time until it is a thick,
smooth mass of the proper consistency.
Beat in the alum and glycerine and
add the wintergreen last of all. Put
up while hot in small Jars. If not
wanted for immediate use cover the
smooth top of the paste with a round
of parafine paper before screwing on
the cover. Of course it is not neces
sary to make the full recipe if you
need only one Jarful, but the above is
an easily remembered proportion.
Perhaps some reader may be in the
hH-bit of making dustless dusters. I
know, reallj or did know; but at the
moment I seem to have a lapse of
memory. It may "come to me" at any
moment, but that moment wil,l prob
ably be In the useless middle of the
night after this column has gone to
the printer. I'll try to remember by
next week.
I do not think you need worry about
using carefully washed figs. Sulphur
ous acid (from fumes of burning sul
phur) is (or was) sometimes but (by
no means invariably) used in bleach
ing figs. In some places the figs are
dipped into a bath of lye water (made
from wood ashes) In order to remove
the "gum" and "milk" and to insure
their keeping. Some kinds of figs art
dipped in brine before packing. But in
any case if you wash the figs thor
oughly before using them they will
be all right. Soaking them is not
cleaning them, it is only wasting them
if you throw away the soaking
water. Pour hot water over the figs,
then plunge them into water rubbing
them well between the hands and
using several waters. Work quickly
and when the water is clear drain the

them, moist aa they are. into the
warming oven until dry and some
what flexible, then chop and use. If
for stewing, soak one pound figs in
one pint water with a little lemon
juice if liked. In the morning bring
slowly to the boll in- the same water;
simmer gently until tender, then add
half as much sugar as there is juice,
and cook until tho syrup is as thick as
desired. A strip or two of orange or
lemon rind cut thin may be cooked
with the figs if the flavor is liked, or
a bit of cinnamon or a clove or two
may be used if the figs are inclined to
be flavorless as pome kinds are.
Another way is to steam the figs
until tender, then put them into boil
ing syrup for one minute, then simmer
very gently 2D minutes, then remove
the figs, boil down tho syrup to any
thickness you may desire, pour over the
figs and serve when cold.
If figs are very dry, it is often wise
to steam them (after washing) until
rather soft and plump before using
them in cakes, puddings, cookies or
candy.

Tamale loaf Cut one pound round
or flank steak Into inch cubes. Chop
one onion and one fresh chile pepper
very fine with one clove, garlic if liked,
and fry lightly in two level tablespoons
lard or oil. Brown the meat a little
in the oil, then add one tomato sliced
and a spoonful or so of water to pre
vent burning. When a nice brown juice
has formed add enough water to make
a pint and simmer slowly until the
meat is tender. Then skim out the
meat, pass it through a food chopper,
return it to- the gravy and season to
taste with salt and chili powder. Bring
the mixture to the boil and add slowly
enough white corn meal to make a
stiff mush. When cooked press into a
greased breadpan, let stand a few
minutes to, take its shape and then
turn out on a platter and serve cov

Vancouver, Wash., March 1.- Perhaps yott

at the former, but can usually count on it
not coming sooner than two hours. Can you
help me? Thanking you MRS. C. L. B.

Yoncalla, Or., March 8. Will you kindly
tell me how to use kohl-rabi? Please
give some recipes using it. Thanking you
for your helpful articles in The Oregonian.
MRS. V. L. M.
Following is a German recipe for
serving kohl-rabi:
Kohl-rabi Six to eight medium-size
kohl-rabis, three quarts water, one ta
blespoon salt, two level tablespoons
butter, one and one-half tablespoons
flour, one cup bouillon, one-balf cup
sweet cream, one-half teaspoon meat
extract, salt and pepper to taste. Peel,
slice and cook until tender in the salt
ed water. Make a sauce with tho
other ingredients, put in the drained
kohl-rabis and stew slowly 15 minutes.
Many cooks, however, prefer to cook
the kohl-rabis whole, peeling and slic
ing or cutting into dice afterwards.
The cut-up vegetable is then put into
white or brown sauce and simmered as
above. Or it is chopped, moistened
thoroughly with cream seasoned and
reheated. Another way is to serve it
chopped and mixed with small crisp
pieces of bacon, a little cream or gravy
to moisten and a seasoning of pepper,
salt and lemon juice. Occasionally
you find it served mashed like turnips.
The green leaves are cooked separate
ly and drained, chopped and finished
with a little butter or cream and sea
sonings like chopped spinach.
Sometimes the leaves are served sep
arately. Sometimes they are used to
form a puree border, in the middle of
which is placed the sliced and creamed
solid part.
Parsnip wine To six pounds cleaned
and sliced, parsnips add two gallons
water and boil until very soft. Squeeze
the pulp and strain the water. To
every gallon add three pounds white
sugar. Boil 45 minutes, cool to luke
warm, then add a little yeast. Let it
stand 10 days in a tub or crock to fer
ment, stirring Jt daily. Put in a cask
for 12 months, then bottle.
Another way is to use a few hops
for flavoring. It may have to be
cleared with isinglass.
