M,, of Norwich, second wiches for Outings.” To Around Our Home.” TO THE SOCIAL CORNER SISTERS. Those who are delighted with the mystery of the Social Corner have a perception of the source of their enjoyment. This is the one place, per- haps, where ignorance being bliss, it is folly to be wise. Some of our members will disclose thei- identity, and those who look sharp discover some things of ex- ceptional interest. No one has mis- trusted that we had in hand a funny home-story written by Ma, who is our expert authority upon chicken rais- ing; but we have, and its turn has come. Perhaps Ma has thought it went into our capacious waste basket, but it was not that kind of a story, and it seems to us that after the members have read this story they will | know who Ma is. Anyway, they will know she is right up to date in every- thing. The, title of the story is “Our 8Son from College.” Our occasional contributor, Rural Delivery, is very much appreciated, and he is going to stay with us be- cause he enjoys good company so well he cannot retire. May he me day be inspired to write another story.— The Social Corner Editor. = A CAUSE FOR THANKS.

FRANK. Moosup. HOME LAUNDRY HELPS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: 1 want to give a few hints on laundry work for those who do their own: Overalls get dreadfully dirty: so T put- them to soak over night in soapy water; then in the morning, after washing the other clothes, I put them on the board, soap them well and scrub them with a small br and the dirt comes out fine. I always starch them longer. as they keep clean T also nse another brush for clean- ing vegetables, and find it a great help. In ironing white waists, I always iron them on the wrong side because be ever so wvarticylar with the irons they will ¢ome times “smooch.” Then a final press on the ontside. After they are done I like to hang them in the sunshine, -if . possible, a short time.

Brown bread when steamed in three half-pound baking-powder boxes make very attractive sandwiches. A crisp le(tuqe leaf with a little mayonnaise dressing goes well with brown bread.

Arrange tongue over white bread, over tengue browr bread, over brown bread l'hP_rse, then repeat. Put under a weight and let stand several hours; cut crosswise in thin slices. Norwich, June 19, 1911.

TO WORK IN_COMFORT ON HOT DAYS. Editor Social Corne; These hot days make housework seem a ‘burden, and make us long for a comfortable seat under a shady tree. I-try to make my work as simple a Here are some of the ways: I do my cooking in the early morn- ing. Have a hot breakfast and din- ner and then let the fire go out so the house will get cooled off before night. ‘When a very hot day comes, We pre- fer a cold dinner, and do not have a fire after nine o'clock. Oftentimes gingerbread, cookies, or anything made of sour milk and soda, may be mixed up at night, and is to put in the oven when the fire rted the next morning. Anything raised with baking pow- der must be raised as quickly as pos- sible after mixing. Make the cooking.as simple as po sible, have plenty and in fair variety but do not spend valuable time in making “fussy” dishes. Have for sup- per something easily prepared in the morning. A big sweetened johnnycake with milk and cottage cheese makes a sup- per fit for a king. Bread, butter, sauce, and junkets or rice, tapioca, or cornstarch pudding, or a custard, makes a supper good enough for anybody 2 This is = good rice pudding recipe. Two cups rice, 2 cups sugar, 5 quarts milk, salt, and either cinnamon or lemon to flavol in moderate oven, stirring o Laundry work is next to cooking these day: I wash out of doors, in the shade, where I can get all breeze, and can slop all the water I wish and not have to mop it up. I warm wash water in the sun. Wash clothes often, but do not iron, or starch anything except the Sunday best. Do not boil the clothes, but wash and rinse well and let the sun kill the germs, Everyday clothes should be made of easily washed material; anything that is soft and rather loosely woven. Wash floors in cold water. They the air. It is a good plan to pack away part of the pictures, bric-a-brac, and even rugs in the summer. Leave as few things as possible to care for. HEPATICA. TESTED TIMELY RECIPES. Editor of Social Corner: Here are a few odd recipes that I have tried and good: Mock Angel Cake—Place one cup of milk in a dipper of boiling water and Into a sifter put Into this m'x- turz pour the boiling milk and stir until smooth. Then put in the weil- beaten whites of two eggs. Do not r the mixture nor beat Fold the whites in carefully, drawing spoon through the mixture toward you, then shoving it back with the spoon.

Soak one teaspoon gelatine in a quarter of a cup of cold water and when it is soft place the cup it is in in a pan of hot water. When the gelatine is all di lved add it, a little at a time, to the berrics and cream in such a way that it will not become stringy. Finally add three tablespoons of powdered sugar. When the sarabande begins to grow thick, turn in a mold and place on ice: LOUISE. Lebanon. CHICKEN LORE FROM MA.

I knew just how I should find her— dear little lady seated in her old wooden rocker with its brignt colored cushions, a fresh white cap with a laverder bow (in honor of the ap- proaching Sabbath) and her gold bowed spectacles in place of the steel ones she wore week days—waiting for the weekly talk so dear to us foth. It always seemed to me as if Sun- day really began as soon as I cross- 2d the threshold of grandma’s room. So I hurried on and sure enough there was grandma just as I described her to ¥ou, her room sweet with the fra- grance of the lilacs of the season Grandma loved flowers and always had them on the stand by her side, but I had never seen her wear any unti] this day; and as I sat in the low chajr at her feet she pinned a spray of (as she said) her favorite flower on her favorite grandaughter. I saw I had but to wait and a story would be forthcoming. I wish I could tell you the story in Grandma’s own words for she was a born story-teller, while I fear I have not inherited that wished for ac- complishment. But I will do my best “I have told you many times, no doult, of your grandfather taking me, a bride of a day, to a distant city where he had obtained employment. Although fifty years ago I remerhber that first happy week far better than the things that happened but yester- from place to place buying furniture for the littie home we had looked for- ward to so long.

I stepped out on the side porch and as I stood there the woman at the window dropped her sewing and open- ing her window, pointed to the large lilac bush which stood close by the fence in her yard, with some of i branches so loaded with bloom that they hung over into our yard. “I want you to consider ‘all the J1i- |lacs that hang over your side of the fence as if it were indeed your own lilac bush, I must finish this work by six tonight, and then I shall bring you some of the white lilacs that grow on the other side of the house.” With a smile and a nod she clos- ed the window and resumed her sew- ing. But she had changed the day for me. 1 picked a huge bunch for the parior table, and being pleased with the result picked another bunch for the dining room. Then I broke off branches and hung over the doorway in the front hall and my little home was soon sweet with the fragrance of the lilacs to greet your grandfather as he returned that first night.” “And did the dressmaker come over that evening, and were you ever home- sick after that” T asked. in the lilacs was living over again in memory those first happy days.

ANSWERS TO ROSE INQUIRERS. By R. Duane Bromley. Rose cuttings are rooted best in a hothouse. Yet, during the hot sum- mer months, it can be done quite suc- cessfully in the following manner: ‘Yake a box, not less than twelve inch; deep, and something like 2 1-2 feet wide by 3 2 feet long. Jore bottom this several holes 2-4 bitt. Place it upon the bare earth in a well eltered spot, where it will get the sun the whole day. ill it with i sandy loam, to within an i top, letting it stand in the days to get warm.

Now malil stick, and push it down nearly to the botiom of the box, and after dipping the slip in lukewarm wa- ter, remove the stick, and put the culting down eight or ten inches pressing the earth firmly about it. Do not place them too near the edge of the box, and about six inches apart A pail of water should be kept be- this box through the day, and ht with a dipper wet down slow- always in the c #irst, ing 1y, the edac each time tg keep the earth thorough enough wa u and well moistened clear to the bot- tom. is: and do not use cold water. The cuttings should be well rooted in from three to six weeks, but this depends upcn the weather. To root a Rambler, select a new shoot three or four feet high, and pend it down flat to the ground. Then under the middle of this scoop out an oblong hole six’ inches deep, and with a forked stick press it down to the bottom of the hole. Now partly sever the branch, close to the stick, holding it firmly down until covered over with earth. Press this well down and lay o stone or a couple of bricks upon it. Leave it so until the follow- ing spring, when it should have a good root. Samantha: In my last letter I men- tioned my remedy for rose pests, such as leaf lice, the green aphis. and slugs.

I have four children, one of school age, and as we have a large farm I wonder, when our taxes come due, how the old people who have all they can- ! do to live can get the money to pay | them. i I for one think that parents ought ta furnish money for the school, and those who have no children should have their taxes lessened. Some of our for- eign friends have as many as fifteen children, and only pay personal taxes. Let's hear from housewives with chil- dren upon this subject. Faye Verna, your letters are worth reading. Sweet Sixteen, I'm glad you have come to Housew you a for ideas to amuse ildren in ation. I think you live in the country and have six or more dear little ones. Can’t they amuse themselves most of the time? ‘With dollies and needle and thread and a box of calico pieces.

Children and I go after the cows for Papa almost every the year and a half old on walk as much as the older enjoys the ones.
