"Do not misunderstand me. Woman suffrage is right.
It is just. It is expedient. In all moral issues
the woman voters make a loyal legion that cannot
be betrayed to the forces of evil; and however
they are betrayed--as we all are--in campaigns
against the Beast, the good that they do in an
election is a great gain to a community and a
powerful aid to reform. I believe that when the
women see the Beast, they will be the first to
attack it. I believe that in this our first
successful campaign against it, the women saved
us."

Lace Cakes

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups rolled oats

Cream butter, add sugar and eggs. To this add vanilla and baking powder,
and when these are thoroughly mixed, stir in the oats. This should make
a stiff batter, and more oats may be added if batter is not stiff
enough.

Mold into little cakes with a teaspoon and bake in buttered pans two
inches apart, for ten minutes.

Marshmallow Teas

Arrange marshmallows on thin, unsweetened round crackers. Make a deep
impression in center of each marshmallow, and in each cavity drop 1/4
teaspoon butter. Bake until marshmallows spread and nearly cover
crackers. After removing from oven insert half a candied cherry in each
cavity.

These are excellent with afternoon tea.

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup seeded raisins
2 scant teaspoons soda dissolved in a little water, boiling.

Bake in a slow oven.

Quick Coffee Cakes

Cream one-fourth of a cupful of butter, three-fourths of a cupful of
sugar, one egg; add one cupful of milk, two and one-half cupfuls of
flour in which two teaspoons of baking powder have been sifted. Beat
smooth, then add as many raisins as desired and bake in two pie tins.
When the top has begun to crust over, brush with melted butter and
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake a golden brown.
