This hot spell has been a severe trial te all who work, and to no one more than to the housewife who has to work around a kitchen fire. It would noi Bave surprised the Editor if the letters had fallen off quite a bit, and the Corner had shown the effects of the extreme heat, but the members have valiantly applied themselves and in- stead of being short of material we ‘were obliged to hold over a letter or two for naxt week; and this is a splen- did illustration of the interest the Sis- ters are taking in the work, which is & practica] wotk made pleasurable by the personal word and comment of this cheery .and busy coterie of well in- formed women. ‘Many a head got turned during the Mot spell, so it is not strange the head of Ma's story was not just right in The Bulletin. *“Lou” may stand for “Bem.” but under the circumstances we eannot regard it as a good substitute.

A FINE SUBSTITUTE FOR COFFEE Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I did not expect to write this week: but Rere I am sending a recipe for Coffee, or a Coffee substitute, to Sister Clara, ! which may be made 2t home with lit- i tle or no trouble; and the expense will Be great or small according to the fngredients. Procure from a miller three ‘quarts of fresh, clean bran; t in a pan and pour over it one rge cup of good cooking molasses (two are better) and add a well-beaten @Zg. and a piece of salt as big as a Rickory nut. You know good cuoks add salt to the best brands of Mocha or Java, 'a bit as big as a pea, to im- prove the flavor of a potful. Stir un- til the bran is evenly moistened with the moiasses and egg, and then pour the mixture into shallow pans, set in oven and roast for half an hour, stir- ring often. The stirring must be done carefully, for upon this depends the color and the flavor. It should be thoroughly cooked and browned to a caramel shade. When done and cool work between the fingers to break the lumps and separate the grains until it appears lik> finely ground flour, when it is ready to use. It will keep some time if put away in dark, air- tight cans. To get a fine coffee flavor add a pound of good coffee ground one-half ‘as fine as the bran, since the coffee needs ionger cooking than the bran. ’Use the same amount of this as of genuine coffee for a pot; and set-on stove to steep, adding a broksn eggshell, or a little beaten egg. If allowed to stand before bringing to the table it will clear itself perfecily. ‘This substitate coffee will be satisfy- ing to the cofiee drinker without bad effects. - I enjoyed Ma’'s story very much. I close with best wishes for all sis- ters of the Corner. FRAN’ Mocsup. PLANNING MEALS IN HOT % WEATHER. ; ‘Dear Editer and Sisters of the So- efal Corner: Are you all as pleased as I am to know Mr. Bromley is to remain as.an honorary member? How very kind of him to remain with us. ‘Welcome, Necia, and enjoy’the Cor- mer tc your heart’s content. x Ma, yvour story was “great.” Do #end .another soon. I enjoved every word; it ie 8> like tke dear boys. What 8ood ‘times you must have This hot weather I try to plan my meals so as to get through with heat in tZe house early in the forenoon. We_like salads, sandwiches of all kinds, cake and puddings. Tt is so mice to have fresh vegetables and berries. Semetime try scooping out the ‘top of sponge cake and fill with any kind of mashed and sweetened berries, put top on and_ put whipped cream on top of cake. It is fine and you can vary it as often as you have & change of fruit. _Tart Shells—Two cups flour, 2 tea- rpoons baking povider, 1 teaspoon soda, nearly a cup‘of lard, white of an egg beéaten stiff, add a little water if need- ed and line gem pans.

When shells are done fill with the lemon filling and make a meringue of whites and sugar. Brown in oven, Quite nice these hot days. Sometimes I make a banana filling same, omit lemon and let it get cool, then slice a banana thrcugh the mixture, Serve very cold. Blueberry Cake—One egg, 1-4 cup sugar, 1 tabiespoon butter, 1 cup milk, 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cream of tar- tar, 1-2 teaspoon soda, salt (a pinch), 1 cup blueberries. Mix like cake, add berries. Should it seem too thin, add more flour. Bake in shallow pan. Serve hot by breaking it in required pieces. 1 also put them in ginger- bread. Blueberry Slump—Stir as many ber- ries as you need. Bring te a boil, sweeten and when there is plenty of juice made drop in dumplings made irom 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons bak- ing powder, 1-2 cup sugar, 1-2 tea- spoon salt and enough milk to make a soft dough.

We like it better than brown bread: Graham Gems—One pint sour milk, 1 teaspoon soda, stir, add 1-2 cup su- gar, 1 cup flour, 1-2 cup cornmeal, 2 cups grabam flour, 1-2 cup moiasses, 1 teaspoon salt. Bake about foriy minutes in gem pans; or one hour in a shallow pan.

Dear Ediior and all of the Social Corner: What a happy family, what a beautiful place this world would be if all families got along as well as the Social Corner Sisters, and if all sisters agreed as well as sisters in the Coruer. C. O. C. asks for a rule for making Coffee Ice Cream. .Here is one that I hope avill not make her scream: One quart best cream, 1-2 pint strong cof- fee, 14 ounces whire pulverized sugar, volks of 8 eggzs: mix in a porceiain lined basin, place on the fire to thick- en and strain through a hair sieve. Put inl‘\? a freezer and freeze. This is Ancther way is simply to add 1-2 a cup of strong cold coffee to any igce cream instead of the flavoring. _Ginger Lemonade—Take 1-2 cup of vinegar, 1-2 cup sugar, teaspoons ginger; stir well togs put in a quart pitcher and fill ce water. If ore wants it sweeter or sourer than these quantities make it, more of the needed ingredients may oe put in. It is a cooling drink and aimost as good as_lemonade—some preferring it.

He has given us the privilege of writing about anything that is of interest to our- selves, and we do not have to confine oup letters to the cookbook. I know that cooks like to enjoy something else besides cooking and. housekeeping—be- sides broom and brush. We all need a change, and the letters have just enough of everything to kesp one guessing. I am so glad that I am not the only one who reads the Social Corner firsi. 1 have been so interested and have had so much to say about our Social Cor- ner that I have expacted to hear some- one say: “Here is the Social Corner woman.” T just watch for the mailman and the Social Corner part is handed right over with a smile. We went to the city to spend the Fourth; but I was so glad when I got home so I could have a breath of air and a glass of good cold water. It was Just dreadful in the city. My friends tried to make it pleasant, but they could not cool the air. I¥ was just iovely to step into an auto and have a nice ride home. We enjoyed the glori- ous sunset as w: rode along and the breeze was so refreshing. My friends came home with me for the ride and to take the air. city for me this weather. How many of our Corner enjoy mi sic? Hands up! Why. I belisve every band is up. I have heen waiting to see who would be first to write about it.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: After looking so earnestly ev- ery Saturday morning for tha Social column and its recipes, T thought I would send my donation. thinking maybe some of the hints might be of use to the Sisters. In hot weather, when making 2 shortcake and not wanting to heat an oven, T make the batter and fry it on tha griddle. It raises just as light and by dropping og the spoon it is more easy to turn. When fixing straw- berries T always add the stiff beaten white of an egg to the berries and sugar and it increases the quantity and is a good substitute for cream. A Sure Preserve for Eggs—To one cup of salt and one cup of lime add eight quarts of boiling water. Place eggs in a stone pot with small end down and pour the above mixture over it when cold. I have never found a bad egg. Runaway ..Cake—When short of brzad, T make this runaway cake and T guess you will find the name appro- priate. One heaping tablespoon sugar, one heaping tablespoon butter and lard (mixed). one egg, one cup milk, pinch of salt, two and one-half cups of flour with two teaspoons of cream tartar and one teaspoon soda.

A Fine Sponge Cake—Separate the | - are 3 have rheumai “age, I I 3 a tism, so if you decide . come I shall provide dry, bright guar- ters, give you a large amount of green food, particularly alfalfa or chvor.-mg very little meat. Besides, a tonic don’t suppose you think that I have a hospital, but I have, and I would ad- vise all poultry keepers to fit up a small building for a hospital, to which all sick fowls may at once. b2 re- moved. In the case of a contagious disease this is especially important, for if the sick bird is allowed to remain with the rest it may spread the dis- ease to the whole flock. Even whare the disease is not serious the patient is much better off by itself. The hos- pital should be kept scrupulously clean, and by dropping it off the spoon it after a bird has been confined in it affected with any serious trouble. ‘Waterford. RECIPES WARRANTED TO BE GOOD. Editor of Social Corner: I send you a few recipes that are good: Raspberry Flummery—Soak one- half package of gelatine in one-half cup cold water until soft; heat to boiling point two and one-half cups red raspberry juice; sweeten to taste and turn over the soaked gelatine. Stir until perfectly dissolved, then strain and set dish on ice to gool ‘When cold- beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth and stir into the thickening gelatine. Beat until the whole is a solid foam, stiff enough to hold its shape. Turn into a mold. Serve with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. Currant Snow—Wash one cup of tapioca, then pour boiling water over it and cook in a double boiler until the tapioca is transparent; add a pinch of salt, and stir often while cooking. ‘Wash one pint of ripe currants and put in a dish; sprinkle over them one cup of sugar, then turn the hot tapi- oca over them, and after it has cooled set on the ice to get very cold. Serve with cream. I am very glad the sister who tried my ginger-snap recipe had good suc- cess. LOUISE. Lebanon. CORNFLOWER’S RECIPES AND INQUIRIES. Editor Social Corner: Here are some coffee ice cream recipes, which I hope will please Clara of Canter- bury: Coffee Junket Cream—Boil 2 table- spoons coffee in one pint of milk for five minutes, being careful not to 2 SRR e B e S e e P e R S T D B B TR S Nature never hurries ; atom by atom, little by lit- tle, she achieves her work.—John Ruskin.

Then add the beaten yolks which have been flavored with lemon, drop by drop, then fold in one cup of sifted flour. Bake 40 minutes in a slow oven. The secr=t lies in the constant beating of the eggs. Lemon or Orange Filing—Grate the rind and juice of one lemon or orange and add one beaten egg, onc cup sugar and one teaspoon corn- starch. Set on stove to thicken and spread when cold. Caramel Frosting—Frost with any desired white frosting and when hard add plain melted chocolate spread over it. Excellent Boiled Rice Pudding—In a double boiler to one guart of boiling water add one cup of rice with pinch of salt and a faw raisins. Boil until soft. . Foamy Sauce for same—Into a cup of sugar break one egg and stir the two b togetner, then add one- quarter cup of boiling milk. Stir ve: briskly and it will all foam up. A good economical pudding. A Few Useful Suggestions. When ironing starched cuffs: If you begin first by ironing across the widih of the cuff into the sleeve vou will have no wrinkles and will also have ironed the gathers, which is the hard- est part of the sleeve to iron. Then last iron on the length. 1 wonder if the Sisters know that a small piece of arbor vitaz is an ex- cellent substitute for ironing wax? As the oil in tle pine not only cleanses and smoothes the flat but also im- parts a delightful odor. Any cold boiled rice I have left over I make into rice fritters, which are very nice. I have had excellent results by put- ting myv bread and biscuit into the gas range before starting to light it. Then as the heat increases the brzad will raise accordingly. When nicely brown- ed I shut off some of the heat and by leaving the bread in 35 minutes it comes out fine. To beat the yolks of eggs: By adding a very little milk you beat the yolks of eggs much more easil Putting the soda dry into the flour will make vour cake very light. As this is my first peep into the Social, T hope it will prove of some littl2 help to some of the Sisters and maybe I might feel encouraged to try again. Norwich. SHAMROCK. A DELICIOUS ICE CREAM. Sisters of the Social Corner: Kkindly Just a sreeting to our new members. May their enjoyment of The Corner always be as great as ours here at home. I was pleased to know that my recipe for whipping cream had been a help to at least one sister in a distant state. Clara of Canterbury: I am sending you an excellent reeipe for Coffee Ice Cream, sufficient to serve six persons. When I use Mocha coffee I use four ounces. of Java three; have it ground coarsely: put it in a farina boiler with a pint of cream and steep for ten minutes; then strain through a muslin bag, pressing it hard to get all the strength and balf a pound of sugar, and another pint of cream. Stir all well together until sugar is dissolved. Let cool, and freeze. Remove the dasher, repack and cover; stand away for two hours to ripen. I think you will pronounce it delicious. JANET. Norwich +MA PRESCRIBES FOR FRANK. Dear Editor and Sisters of the Co ner: Certainly we shall make M Bromley an honorary member. W want all the brothers we can get. I shall have to raise some of those Limpies. I suppose the eggs will bring fancy orices and will have to be engaged ahead. = Dear Sister Frank: You say you think the Waterford hen hospital would be = nice place for you. By Yyour symptoms, and as I suppose you scorch; 1 1-2 cups sugar, 1 cup cream, and junket tablets dissolved in 2 table- spoons water. Stir all together; let stand until it jellies, and freeze. Coffee Custard Cream—Make coffee flavoring as in first recipe, strain, add 1 quart milk, 1 1-2 cups sugar, six well-beaten eggs. cook in double boiler until it thickens; chill and freeze. Coffee Ice Cream—Make coffee fla- voring as before, strain, add 1 1-2 cups sugar and 1 1-2 quarts cream; freeze. If you do not find any recipe that pleases you, why don't you take your own favorite recipe. omit the usual flavoring, and use the coffee flavor- ing instead? I always boil the cdffee in milk as I think it makes & smoother cream than when water is used. I enjoyed the story last week very much. Now, Ma, is your son real or imaginary ? M. Roena has told us what her fa- strain: add 1 quart new milk, vorite flowers are, also what she is making a specialty of. Would like to hear from the other sisters, also. I would choose sweet peas and dahlias for outdoors, and petunias for house plants. - Am making a collection of the latter. T used to have a pretty dou- ble rose colored petunia, blossom about the size of a siver dollar, but I haven't seen one for years. Can any- one tell me where I can get one like it? Now, what has become of Rosemary and the recipes she promised that would be better than her first church supper cake? Write again and let us have them. CORNFLOWER. Columbia. ONLY ONE CHATS CHEERILY. Dear Editor of the Social Corner: First T must thank M Roena for her drop cake recipts. Try them sisters— they are fine; just what I wanted. I think she must be a dandy cook. ‘Well, well, housewife, so you haven't six and live in Columbia. Now please let me give you another guess. You have four children. You ana I used to be school chums. I was mistaken when you first wrote as your letter came from Lebon; but now, I think, perhaps, you made a mistake, I think you may have forgotten me, as I do not think you ever appreciated what I did for you. Was not your maiden name C. M. A———? If so, God bless you and your babies. Just recall the face at normal school. I enjoy your letters very much. My children do no harm in my bed rooms, I do not give them anything that they can spill on my carpet, neither do they scratch the furniture, Dear Housewife, get a box of beads, they are cheap and will give the chil- dren Iots of fun on a rainy day. They love to make strings of them. Dear Sisters, how I pity the men in this hot weather. Think sisters of them out in the hay field on one of these hot days. Now may [ ask for a recipe to can strinz beans. The shortest amount of fire used in canning them the better I'll like, Sister Eudora, where are you? Sis- ters, let’s call her back. Perhaps she is discouraged by not getting a prize. Come again, dear sisters, you win the fourth prize most of all with me on just one letter. On Motkers’ day I fear I never win any prize at all; but shall call often just tne same. ONLY ONE. Lebon. HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS. Dear Sisters of the Corner: No doubt we ail think this is about the hottest weather we ever had, but let us try to keep cool amd sweet. If vou have some partiaily worn shirt- waists, it is a comfortable plan to cut ont the necks, with the low square or round effect. A narrow hem around the edge and you will be surprised to find how neat it looks and hcew much more comfortable it is. The sleeves may also be shortened. Frequent bathing and changing of underclothes also promotes comfori. Do not use starch in everyday clothes. It is a double discomfort—more trouble to iron and uncomfortable to wear, For prickly heat sponge the tender pvlaces thorouzkly with tepid water, then dust with a good talcum powder. Much sickness at this season is caused by drinking large quantities of cold water. It seems impossibie to uench the thirst. Especially is this $rie of men at. work in the hay field and it is a problem with the country | housewife just now to prepare coolihg drinks that will be healthful. sure, there is lemonade, the old stand- by, and grape juice made from unfer- mented grape syrup: but I think some of the sisters must have other recipes which would be thankfully received GLENWOOD. Colchester. 5 TIMELY TESTED REGIPES.

Fry them like any other fritters, in smoking hot fat, and drain them on brown paper.
