It is said that a wise son maketh a glad father; but Parson Dawson's son says: “No pulpit in mine!” That seems wise to me, but the Parson feels sad over it. Sariah tells me that a bad husband makes a bad wife. Under this ruling it does seem ag if she was deeply in- debted to me.

It doesn’t do to plow fields in the fall that will wash out before spring. The farmer who posts signs to keep marauders off their property do it be- cause they feel that they have suffer- damage enough. Too many farmers buy tools bacause they are cheap; but standard tools, which come high, are cheaper in the end.

Thanksgiving Dinner Prizes The readers of the Corner are invited to send in descriptions of a Thanksgiving dinner to meet the requirements of those who can afford turkey and those who cannot. This calls for a Straight Turkey Dinner and a Substitute Thanksgiving Dinner. ‘The prizes to be awarded wiil be for the best lay-out at most reasonable cost — the estimated cost being statad in each com- peting letter. The Editor of the Social Corner is of the opinion that there is something just as good for Thanksgiving feasting as the turkey and pumpkin pies and thinge. The Bulletin will give a prize of $2.50 each for the best letters on these subjects, the contest to be closed the 12th of November. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000040900 Right Thought Flavors a Feast. Editor Social Corner: I am inter- ested in the effort of the Editor of the Social Corner to prepare the way to the November feast. One marked feature of the Corner is something good to eat; and how much more we lend our minds to something good to eat than to something good to think. Thought does not nourish you say—it exalts or degrades the soul, and it wins. The right kind of thought ma double the delight of the feast. M cal science teaches that depressin thought spoils a good digestion: an also, that gluttony is the source of most _ discomfiture and disease. A thankful heart can make a feast of a lean diet. While it is creditable to work for larger attainments, it is folly to want what we canmot get. Con- tentment does not abide where envy pitches his tent. There is often more bealth in a lean diet than in a fat one. It is the simple liver wha old age with the cheer and of youth. It s a pity Thanksgiving, like the drinking hout, has iis day after—misery for the patient and money for the doctors. 1 wish we could furnish recipes for thought to give ad- ditional flavor to every feast. High- living represents style—good living represents sense—rationality is the balance which bars excesses and in- vites delight. The man who is master of his appetite at table comes pretty near being the captain of destiny, and the master of fate. While we are pre- glorifies activity paring for the feast lets bear iu mind the spirit which most bLenefits the_occasion. Norwlich. MOSES. Tuberous Begonias for the Window Garden.

RURAL DELIVERY. Little Things It is Well to Know. ¥ditor Socixl Corner: The house- wife who knows how to do things by measure instead of weight saves much time. The scales and the steel goods are all right to keep the grocer straight. but for despatch at the mix- ing table, measures borne in mind are immeédiate aids. The sisters of the Corner should remember these: A pint of water or of milk or any other liquid of the same specific gravity makes one pound. Likewise two and a helf scant cup- fuls of butter. three even cupfuls of | Tndian meal, four even cupfuls of dry | flour, two cupfuls of chopped beef or veal, ten eggs of ordinary size—each | of these named quantities and num- | bers makes a pound in weight. One heaping tablespoontul of granu- | lated sugar, two heaping tablespoon- fuls of dried flour, two heaping table- spoonfuls of powdered sugar and tw heaping tablespoonfuls of ground co fee—each of these makes one ounce. A coffee cupful of fine crumbs represents four ounces: very dry and powdered suet is the same weight: o heaping coffee cupful of hrown susar weighs half a pound: one of seeded raisins and one of cleaned currants stands for the same. he sisters who cannot them can%post them for ready ence.

I E T Doll Partie Editor Social Corner: It will not be long before the little children will have to spend most of their time in the hous> and some way will have to be devised to entertain them. and mothers who want to get up little social times for the juveniles may like to have a doll party for them. The children in vited should bring their dolls and p tea-parties, calls, drives and the like. Then have seats for the dolls beside their respective owners and tiny table- ware for them. Put the dollies to sleep after the refreshments are discussed and let their mothers play “Hunt the Slipper,” “Hide and Seek,” “Ring Around the Roser,” “Puss in the Cor- ner,” and other of the games that never grow old, but serve generation after generation It increases the work a little, but it always pays to entertain the chil- dren once in a while. Central Village. JED NIE G. An Old-Fashioned Side Dish. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: | The wise hostess now gives a good deal of thought to her table decora- tions, instead of spending all her time and energies on a big dinner Half her time is given to the dinner proper and half to the garnishes and decorations. What can be prettier than a bunch of chrysantheums and brown oak leaves, instead of the old pumpkin and grain centerpiece which has so long held first place on Thanksgiving day. If one has candlesticks the prettest lit- tle shades may be made from yellow paper in imitation of pumpkin blos- soms.
