Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The early morning hours are the pleasantest in summer, and I can enjoy the mediey of bird songs from my window. There is one bird that adds his veice to the chorus with mueh force, making a sound very much like a chicken in distress. Nearly evers spring | have bustled up, thinking there was some trouble with the baby chicks, when first hearing his loud ery. Have asked him if he hadn't just as ‘soon sing as to make that | noise. Housekeepers know that one hour | lost in the morning is run after all day. Tt does take a little extra wi power to be up and doing before o'clock but I always feel well re- paid, especially when I am playing tunes upon the faithtul helper,- the family washing machine.

An wequaintance used to say they were hovael mongey faces. I pianted some peanuts in a flower pot, and they are coming up just like eans. Wil report later upom my croj last of August I cut off our Bal- timore Bella rose slips about five inches lomg and potted them, keeping them in an eastern window, and three rooted and are now growing out- Have had quite 500d success driving awa ects by spraying a table- | spoon of kerosene ixed with soap- | sude.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner There are many, many things that come into my mind to speak about, and mometimes I think my letter appears’| more like hash or urince meat (with- out spice). It is often said we write or speak of those things that we think about most. No doubt every one of us be- lfeve in compulsory education. Now how many of us believe in free edu- catjon?

Dear Editor and Friends of the So- cial Corner: A beautiful incident which happened dur the sh- Ameri- can wa I nev forgei, took place after the big naval battie at Santiago harbor, when brave Cap- tain Phillips of the battieship Texas callzd his subordinate officers and shipmates aft d said ‘Boys. let us give thanks to God. who has given us this victory.” We cannot all do did Capta Phillips, but that sa virit of gra tude can so fill our hearts as it did his, I think.

Ay flowers have grown a few inches since Monday and my neighbors’ yards are beautiful with bud and blossom. Samantha, 1 think the cause of the juices being so thin is the place vou ep your fruit. In order to keep fru‘t in cans perfect. the fruit must he sound and ripe, never ovar-ripe. Ju fruits absorb less syrup than drier kinds. Always let the jars get cold before putting away, and the cellar lose flavor .as well as get thin. Can you not put them in somz dry but not warm place? Cherry time is almost here, so T send a few recipes Cherry Shortcake—Sift two cups of flour with one-half teaspoon soda. rub in_two tablespoons of butter. add a half cup of sour milk and a half cuy of sweet milk and bake in a round pan. Split and butter whils hot, cover the two halves with pitted cherries and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cherry Tarts—Put one cup of sugar and one-half cup of water in a stew pan: when boiling add two cups of pit- ted cherries, thicken with ore tea- spoon of arrowroot made smooth in A little cold water, add one teaspoon of butter: let simmer 10 minutes; remove from fire. add one teaspoon of lemon juic> and chill. Have tart _shelis made and when wanted fill with pre- pared cherries. Pineapple Pie—Beat one cup of su- gar, one-fourth cup of butter and yvolks of three eggs to a cream, add one cup of sweat cream. one pineapple, grated, and the beaten whites of eggs. Bake with an under crust; serve cold. Here is a Cheaper Pineapole Pie. very zood—One pin=apple, cut fine, onc and one-half cups sugar, ome cup water, two eges, a tablespoon of flour. Makes' two pies.

TO AMUSE CHILDREN IN VACA- 3 TION. . Editor Social Corner: After school is out, whenever a rainy day comes, the question of hi to keep-a house- ful of children quiet is rather a prob. lem, Here are a few ways and shall be glad to have suggestions from others: z First, let them help with the house- work, doing things other than their daily tasks. Then, for amusements, a set of colored crayons ama a pile of old papers will occupy them for some time; cutting pictures is an old story, but Jet them paste the cut pictures on small pieces of ‘blank paper, and then write a sentence or story about each picture. If they can sew, let them make a set of bean bags, then wind a hoop hoop from the ‘ceiling, and hang in it a zood sized bell. The game is, to throw the bags through the hoop with- out touching the bell. Small bass count five and the large ones ten. Now, Sweet Sixteen, vou “belong in the Corner as much as the resi and I'm sure we are all glad to hear from you: so don’t think of leaving. If you do, join the young folks' de- vartment: please do net neglect us. . friend. Tve been wondering if we conld really know “Who's who" if we should not be much surprised at the real people who are masquerading under these assumed names. ¥or instance, “Sweet Sixieen,” are vou a “really” schoolgirl of sixteen. or are you an exponent of the three f's?

Roena, what particular flower is your hobby HOUSEWIFE. THE GOODNESS OF GOD. Dear Sisters of the Social Cormer: The goodness of God is constdnt. He created all things and pronounced them good: and He equipped the mind to perceivé and appreciate His crea- tions and to conceive of Him and His loving and merciful relation to the human soul; and the human heart to Nature is but a name is God.—Emerson. Nature is the living visible garment of God.—Geothe. Nature is commanded by obeying her.—Bacon. Nature has nothing made so base, butcan read some instruction to the wisest man.—C. Aleyn. All nature is 2 vast symbolism; every material fact has sheathed within it a spiritual truth.—E. H. Chapin. | Dutch neek makes-a ;m the same pit. 3 your advice was good.

Editor Social Corner: We can see no reason why Sweet Sixteen should wish to withdraw from the Corner; in fact, not half the reason we have for steppins down and out. When the Social Corner first came out in The Bulletin asking for writers, if we remember right, there was noth- jng said about age, sex, or color, and as we always like to write letters we sent a number to the Corner from week to week, and we were mach sur- prised to learn we were in the midst of a large circle of ladies—no gentle- men in sight—so we made up our mind, perhaps, it would be better for the men folks to go out calling on a neizhbor. or go down to the ciub room, w, if the Corner is geiting crowd- ed, we will s1y to Sweet Sixtaen, Stay with the sisters in the Social Cormer and we_ will drop out and give you room. In the heading of the Social Corner picture there is a vacant chair and just room for Sweet Sixteen, which we hope she will take and feel : tory was fine and was full of the ways of the world. The month cf roses is here. vthing be more beautiful? ©0 paper is mere welcome in the rural districts than The Bulletin with the Sccial Corner letters. We heard one person remark the people grasp the paper as a drowning man would grasp a straw. Whether we write any more for the Social Corner, or nof, | always be as much interest- ed as if we had been born a “Sister,” could enjos the social chats with them all. We will say no writer of The Corner has been more pleased to see the lar family of writers The Bulletin now has ever ready for bus- iness. If at any time there is room for us, and we can say a word to help along the Social Corner, we shall put the fountain pen info use. Danielson. = RURAL DELIVERY. TO MAKE CREAM WHIP.
