It is with pleasure that we this week print a letter from Robert Duane | Bromiey, writer of that pretty and ap- pealing poem, “Where the Milk White Birches Grow,” in which he reveals that his fad Is rose-growing, and that! he is willing to answer questions to| assist members of The Corner to do more satisfactory work in this special | line: and as he sees The Corner reg- ularly, he will not miss a single in- quiry. Next week we shail print a Social | Corner story from Ruth, which is en- titled “A Confdence and a Confession.” 1t is a story from real life and all who read it will recognize that it is neo dream. After this week we shall discontinue the “Friendship Quotations” and for awhile print every other week “Nature | Quotations,” which, we think, will prove entemtaining and profitable. If any of the Sisters have any sug- gestions te make with reference to the conduet of The Corner they will Do thankfully received by the Editor. EPITOR SOCIAL CORNER. ROSE CULTURE.

R. DUANE BROMLEY. @Geneva, Ohio. TO KEEP TRACK OF THINGS. Pear Friends of the Social Corner: —The Bulletin asks for helpful letters, Bome the sweetest, finest women, whose daily life 1s given to the routine and the care of the capped by the habit of not having & piace for things and putting everything in its place. The Pfed up chairs, wardrobes and bureaus, the hunting for missing articles,—all this is a constant, though it may be. uncensclous wear on both the mental #nd physical strength. Many times after a day’s work, with everything helter skelter. have 1 dreamed the night following of work- ng on and on, only to find rooms get- ting into more and more disorde: “Hlabit-bound. one's feat may never wholly turn,” but there i& a chance for wetting the better of this foe to rest and peace in the home. Have fewer chairs in the kitchen. Take five minutes every day before | beginning the regalar work to takes off | everything not in use from the kitchen stova and have the floor about the mtova swept. Take out bric-a-brac | from all the rooms. Have dry goods | ing not in use can| every article in these hoxes to he lsted in a beok telling in which box this article may be found Ome filend of mine had thres trunks Wrought down from the attic and mearched them through, finding the missing article in the last trunk. Tn #ddition to the list in the book, have a list placed on the cover of the boox. Wrap each woolen article or fur in newspaper, as that is a sure protec- tlon from moths Every day add one arti¢le to the Hst of things that shall always be found In their place, especially parel, %0 in case of a hurry for out-door wraps no time will be lost in hunting. This letter is written by a graduate of the school of experience, and the tuition there was very high. Norwich HELPMATE TESTED RECIPES FOR PUDDINGS.

South Capterbury, WE SHOULD BE CHARITABLE. Editor Social Corner:—I have been deeply interested in the Social Corner of late, the letters are so helpful. So many geod things have been said upon Friendship that it hardly seems neces- sary to add my mite, vet I wish to say this: We are all human, and sub- ject to human frailties, and so the best of us often make mistakes and ten by word or act unintentionally imnd those dearest to us. 1 would if 1 knew it, hurt anyone's feel- and vet I fear I often do. And so 1 pray thee, my friends, if T have done aught to offend thes, that thou wilt forgive, as thou wouldst be for- given. Whoever has read that beautiful poem. “The Fool's Prayer,” cannot soon forget these lines. which I am going to quote for the benefit of those who have never read it: ” s’ “'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep Of truth and right, O Lerd, we sta; 'Tis by our follies that so long We hold the earth from awa: heaven “These clumsy feet, still in the mirey Go crushing blossoms without end; These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust Among the heart-strings of a friend. “The ill-timed truth we might haye kept— Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung? The word we had not sense ta say— Who knows how grandly it had rung?” So many unmeant blunders we make that wa can well echo the prayer: “Be merciful to me a fool.” I want to say a few words in re- gard to Truth. remember that: Hold to it, alway “Nothing can need a lie: The fault that needs Grow two thereby.” one must et us keep silence rather than hurt a friend, but if we must speak, let it be the itruth, dlwavs. Only speak it Most of us know, or have people whose statements we always distrust, and none wish to be classed among them. Yet, if people And that we have once told an untruth they will never fully trust us after- ward. So let us watch our words that none may have occasion to doubt us, even in the least things. One way, T think, to teach our chil- dren truthfulness, besides being abso- lutely truthful ourselves, is to impress the word “Truth” upon them. Don't y: “Don’t tell a lfe,” but say, rather: Iways speak the truth.” I think the word which is impressed most deep- Iy upon their minds, is the word which they will act upon. 3 . ALINE. BIRDS AROUND OUR HOMES. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— My home is in the country. From the windows near where I sit to rest I can see, may be a hundred feet of worn- | out pasture, tall trees, an old stona wall and a flower garden. Bird life is be- fors me and proves very interesting, indeed. } First, foremost. and all the time, is| the robin. A pair of them have bullt | in the eaves and have a nest full of | voung, very hungry all the time, it would seem. Another pair are living in a trellis and another in a low tree nearby. They claim all the bugs and worms around here: but the saucy sparrow will have ifs own. A pair of house wrens have made | their home in a tobacco can. which is | fastenad to 4 post in a vine, for years, but hgve almest driv hehever the coming out of ir nest in the can tha robin flies at at them, sending the lttle one off in a hurry. A chebeek Thas its nest the branches of a tall ash tree. They are very fearless and do not mind my | presence st all, perching near while watching for a fiy to pass. making a quick dive for it, and coming back to the same perch. A chipping-sparrow’s nest is bal- anced In the red rambler rosebush. What a setting for the little birds this vear the robin n them away. head appears in when the roses bloom! There are many bird visitors in the pewees, vard—phoebes, wood birds. members of the fl ily. wakeups and downy woodpeckers, red-winged blackbirds, the yellow war- bler, black and white creeping warbler and Maryland vellow throat. Four kinds of vireos seem to live nearby; the | red-eyved, warbling and solitary. Al have a different story to tell in_short sentences. The orioles are here in the | upper branches with goldfinches and | others that are hard to identify among | the leaves. Occasionally I see a pair of blueblrds. Often & new or unfamiliar song sends me out with an_opera glass to| &py out the singer: and happy am 1 it | T ind and can identify the visiter. Tn | such a way the olive-Taced thrush and | pine sickin were found. | A hird shaped like an oriole. but with a different song has puzzlea me | for some time. | The sonz sparrow and catbird will | answer when they are called and will ! sine for me over and over when I praise them. Chimngy swifts and barn swallows | are ever on the alert: also the night- hawks in the afternoon. and whip poorwill in the evening. Brown thrashers. chewinks. and cuckoos make themselves hLeard. In short, bird life is going on all abou us, and if we turn our minds to them | it will keep us busy when other cares dn‘nnt completely engross us. Tt is well to have somsthing to take one | out of doors and keep the mina well occupied and amused. on a new bird appears one almost | clgnt quarts of water, ome cup. jae wants to tell the news to our friends | as we would any other harmless bit of | wossip.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— It is just fine to live in the country these hot days and get up early in the morning when it is cool and drink in the pure morning air and hear the hiMde singing their songs of praisa to their Creator. The sarly morning is the time (o ses Nature in all her beauty. when every- I wonder how many of the dear sisters are up early enough to see. sun rise? Those of you who are not, just get up a little eariier some morn- ing and watch him come up over the hills. You will feel well paid for your trouble. 1 am up every morning at 4 o'clock, and I never get tired of standing in the door and watching for just a few minutes. The birds go flying here and there, and I know you would enjoy the sunrise for one Just try it some morning before long and see if that day's work is not done befire you know it. Preston. BLUE BELL. SWEET SIXTEEN THINKS OF SE- CEDING. ™Mr. Editor: —I would like to thank “Housewife” for remembering me. I fully intended to write some- time ago, but to tell you the truth, dear “Housewife,” I am just a little discouraged. I have written so man times and invited the voung people to write. When they do not respond [ begin to think: “Well, T am not of much account, anyway I will have to wait till I am older if I wish to make an impression on_that great big Social Corner. Still, dear Sister Ruth thought of me in her dreams. Wasn't that a fine story? The Editor tells us she has written another. 1 am impatient to read it. Tell you what I think T will do: Tl just drop a line to Uncle Jed and ask him if he will not take me under his parental wing. T think T would make & better im- pression on_the children guessing their puzzles and writing them stories. I just love the little ones, anyway; and T think their page is so instructive. It teaches them to think amd become self-reliant older they will become worthy mem- bers of our Social Corner. Don’'t yvou think so? Norwich. SWEET SIXTEN. IF YOU HAVEN'T A HOBBY, GET ONE, and Editor:—If you get one.

No more instail- ment plan for me! - If each sister who bought her things that way would stop and think how much more she had to pay, certainly one-third more, she would never do it after the first trial. o Frank: I've canned rhubarb the way you've given in your recipe, a number of years, and I find it keeps splendid. I can peas, string beans, corn, squash and a gerat many kinds of fruits, and think it pays to do it, especially when things are high in the winter time. Faye Verna: We have disappoint- ments over our paper, too! Not once, but often! Our carrier is very care- less about delivering mail and leaving it in some other box; and a number of times we have had mail left in our box that should have been left a mile back. Lebanon., LOUISE. ENJOYS THE FOURTH PRIZE BEST Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— T wish to thank our kind Editor and The Bulletin company for check for $2.66, the first prize. I hardly expected to win the first prize: I have been well pleased with the Fourth prize brought to our perception by “Who's Who?" Money i# a good servant, but health is better than riches, of which T hope all members of the Social Cor- ner enjoy as a regular blessing. T was touched by Ruth’'s definition of “True Friendship.” T really think the way she points out is the way true friendship is perfected. The Golden Rule nlakes the hearr giad when it is lived up to. I believe “Nothing is im- possible to a willing mind.” Dear Ready: You tell us you never Adversity is the only balance to weigh friends. Promises get friends—performances keep them. There is no better looking-glass than an old friend.—Anon. A good friend if better than a near relation.—Anon. —Plutarch. * —Anon. vou forget your other troubles and ives a little variety from the old rut which is necessary to keep one young and_healthy. My special hobby is Angora cats; another is collecting old dishes, furni- ture, books, etc. 1 bave an old fan with ladies and lambs on it; and & looking glass in the ivory. I expect to mount it on either black satin or vei- vet and frame it in black and gold. Won't that be lovely But that's not what I started out to write about. I started to write about chickens as a hobby. The ‘city or village man, or woman. who has a place to keep chickens and does mot do so is missing something that would occupy their spare time, besides giv- ing them a lot of healthful out-door exercisd. A dozen hens are enough to keap one busy, if well cared for. eating frésh ones: to chicken dinner occasionally, have and feathers for a sofa piilow. Some- times, if you sell eggs for hatching, or birds. at a good price, that is encour- aging. The Philo system has been tried by a great many people in cities and vil- lages with good results. But any old system is all right if it is a system. In the city there is a good deal of waate from the table, which makes a good veristy. That is what chickens like and thrive on, and if you break a dish ccasionally, break that up fine far grit: and when vou mow the lawn that is another treat: also save the egg shells, drv them and break them up fine. All these things g0 a good way toward keeping them. and cost- ing very little. For a. city fowl, espe- cially if it 1& kept for a hobby, it should be a handsome kind. The Houdans are one of the most beautiful varieties. They are a French fowl. color white and black. The comb is double-leafed and a large top. knot. They are great layvers, have a square and massive body, short legs And spirited carriage. The cocks weigh five to six pounds and tHe hens four to five pounds. They thrive in confine- ment as well as when on free range. Waterford. MA. BOUND TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE CORNER. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: — T am sure there are not one of could guess where I am writing to you | from, so 1 must tell you that it is on a rajlway train, speeding away about 50 les an hour, which makes writing mething of a conundrum. 1 guess the editor will think so when he is try- ing to read it. F 1 have been =0 busy cleaning hou the past few weeks. and now that it is done. I am spending Decoration day with my only dear little daughter in New York city, one only girl among a houseful of brothers. I would not dure tell you how many, for everyone in our Whoe,” and the spell would be broken I have had so little time to read the Social Corner letters that T just put them in my valise and enjoy reading them on my trip. I think “Just Us™ is about right when she says we all eat too much; fust think of how much time and money we culd saave if we would just eat to live, rather than live to eat. 1 heard ‘a gentleman say the other day that it was not the high cost of iving that kept people poor—it was the cost of living high; and I could not dut think it a truthful saying. I think “Ma” has given us some val- uable information about hens and chickens. Perhaps she could tell us of some good way of —utting down eggs for winter use. T generally take about and one cup salt. This is a very good recipe. 1 do not use these eggs on the table, but they are all right for cook- - 3f. Roena: Do _not leave our Corner to muke room for others, for if we get crowded I am sure the editor will 1ook” out for us; and you hum the old saying: “The more the merrier.” We should miss your cheerful, pleas- ant letters very much. What a delightful little poem that was in last week's issue. T Am going to save it and put it away with Ruth's and B P. A's interesting stories te read some future time; and now, be- ittle village would then know “Who's | had a sister.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: —When The Bulletin came last Saturday I was very busy, but, of course, must stop just a few minutes to read the good letters of our Cor- ner. 1 was 80 giad to see one from M. Reena. Don’t think for a moment of dropping out to make room for more, as you mentioned in vour letter. When The Corner is so full it will not hold us all we will take our turn. I al- ways look for your letters; they have a familiar ring to them. Alse, Faye Verna'e. If T am not mistaken in zuessing, 1 should say we have had many good times together in days { ®one by, and hope to meet again in the near future. Eudora: Your club plan is 0. K. Had been thinking of the same thing self. Only thought of N. B. 8. C. (Norwich Bulletin Social Corner). The idea came to me when ‘n Norwich one day recently 1 passed several with some soclety pin or badge. I wondered if T had passed any eof the Sisters. “Ma,” can you tell me what is the | matter with my chickens? They grow | fine until about five weeks old, all | feathered out, but seems to drop down and die suddenly. Can find no lice or | marks on them. Am in the midst of a big wash, so { must stop or it will not get out to jdry. Wil send some recipes next | time. | Yantte. M. LUELLA. BILLIE'S ENTERTAINING LETTER. Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: It seems perfectly won- derful to me that every time I_look over the Social Corner page I see something that I had net read before. No doubt everyone has been busy and not through, vet: but I thought I must take a few mements for a chat. It refreshes one. ‘When warm days set in I will think lof all who live.in warm cities and | towns and wish they had some of our sea breeze: but not our fogs. Where is Montville? House cléaning. t00? How her words cheered me when she wrote of my recent article. I won- der how many of the sisters had all the money they wanted to buy carpets | and curtains and various other things | during house cleaning. How many managed as I did. Rip carpets apart, put the worn places under the beds and next the wall, after patching them —in rooms least used—and a new car- pet for the sitting room, where I look at it most, and put the bright side up. Speaking of the photograph gallery, Faye Verna, I have already painted | your ture, Montvill Ruth’s, | Frank's and a few others, hair is | streaked with gray, too, Frank, and am rather proud of it, for I consider there underlies it what young people | never had nor never will have—experi- | ence—until they get vears on their| shoulders. And then we should be so ! thankful that the dear Lord has let us live to see them. O! yes. Speaking of the photograph | gallery and its surprises, reminds me | of what I heard a clergyman say about | | those of us who are fortunate enough | to get to heaven. There will be three | surprises awaiting us. One will be to | see people there who we did not ex- pect. Another will be not to see peo- Ple there that we did expect. And the | surprise of all surprises will be it we get_there ourselves. I like to hear mothers call their husbands “Papa,” | | | M to look after. 3 Ready, 1 am very fond of children and old people. 1 have a mother 92 years old last March. She is very active for her years. Rises every| morning ‘between ¢ and 7; washes dishes, lifts ashes, makes out the bread 'y mornings, makes - and a number of other things. Of course, she cannot do things as quickly as I, but I allow always for her age and wonder if I should live that long will I do as well. Has a splendid memory,relates about things that hap- pened in 1825. A the children in the neighborhood, and older omes, call her mother. I think it is just lovely. I have often thought when I look over congregations and see so many women and so few men—I wonder if there was a church “for women only” how many men would be loitering around. BILLIE. Stonington. TIMELY RECIPES FOR CANNING AND PRESERVING. Dear Sisters:—As the time for can- ning and preserving is here, I will send my way of doing such things, as I am_considered quite an expert in that line of work. Rhubarb and Strawberry Preserve— Take four pounds of rhubarb; cut it with skin on, and steam it in close- covered kettle without adding water to it: hull two boxes of strawberries; make a syrup of two cups of boiling water and four cups of sugar. Let boil ten minutes, then add rhubarb and strawberries to the boiling syrup. Boil ten minutes and seal while hot in sterilized jars. Semetimes try a pineapple in place of the strawberries, using the same recipe. Sliced Rhubarb—Wash the rhubarbs cut in small pieces, then weigh it. To five pounds of rhubarb add four pounds of sugar, one pint of vinegar, two tablespeons each of cinnamon and cloves: cook slowly until thick. Seal in jelly glasses. This 18 the way I can my strawber- ries: 1 allow two baskets to a quart Put one-half pound of sugar and two tablespoons of water on fo boil until it begins to crystallize; put in the fruit and beil up oncé. Have ster- ilized jars ready and fili i . Strawberry Jam—Allow four of sugar to eight nwn- of 3 Cook the berries siowly for f an hour, then add heated sugar: cook un- til it is the consistency for fam. Skim off all the scum that arises; when done pt in jelly glasses. Preserved Pineapple—Remo sf'in and all the eyves. Slice the a if haM-inch slices and cut out core; allow three-guarters of a pound of sigar 10 one pound of fruft; put in a preserving keitle the fruit and su- gar; stir well and stand in a cool place over night. In the morning bring t0 a boil: cook siowly half an hour; skim: put into steriized jars and seal while hot. Rhubarb Marmalade — Take seven pounds of rhubarb, ashed and cut in small pieces; put in preserving ket- tle; add one teaspoon of salt, two oranges sliced thin, two lemons sliced thin (do not use skin or seeds), SiX pounds of sugar. and let stand over night; in the morning put kettle on stove and let come to a boil; then set back on stove to simmer; skim it it scum arises: when all is cooked well and it is rich-looking it may be put into jars and sealed. It is fine ith meats, and we like it with bread and butter. If these help any one kindly report. 1 may send more later. I have de- rived 50 much benefit from the Social Corner: it is a truly blessing to us. Best wishes to all. Norwich. MORNING GLORY. NEW POWER STATION.
