Awesd made the last Saturday in each month. “How-do- I hope you're The Corner Editor, for I'm =0 tired that it doesn’t seem as if I could walk another step— not even to find so distinguished a per- son as the Social Corner Editor.” At this, the speaker sank, breathless, into the nearest chair. Now, its not ag easy matter to draw this ¥Editor's atfention from his be- loved work and at that moment he was in the midst of a pile of Social Corner letters as high as his visitor's head—therefore—the visitor had time to get her breath before Mr. Editor looked up. And when he did pause to look up, his countenance showed that the visitor was a stranger to him. . “You've got me guessing, Madam,” he finally answered. “I haven't the ou-do, Mr, Editor!

Duane Bromley, entitled: “Banish that Frown,” which we shall print next week; and which appears to mark him as the Social Corner poet, since he seems to be beyvond competi- tion. The next Social Corner story will be entitled: “A Mix-up in the Sugar,” by Mrs. E. C. T., whieh illustrates how a Grouch can be sweetened by a trick. We are impressed that there is a smile in it for every member. The Sisters of the Corner are main- taining it surprisingly; and in perfect freedom we are finding more than could be foreseen when the depart- ment was started. Tie management of ‘The Bulletin is feeling rather proud of the department, because it is just a8 creditable to the contributors as it is to the energy and enterprise of the paper, The Social Corner Stories are com- ing to an end, and we shall soon have to have some other attraction, unless the Sisters desire another competition, and a new series. If they think they would enjoy another series, The Bulle- tin will be agreeable to it. THE SOCIAL CORNER EDITOR. A FEW WORDS FROM RUTH. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: 1 must confess I am getting fonder and fonder of Social Corner letters and storfes. 1 feel it is pleasant to be in such a good-natured, reciprocal fam- ‘We have such a lot of good letter writers and they pay such gracious compliments to one another. The stories have shown that we have among us talented writers. The first real gpurprise was “The Doin’s at So- clalville” so cleverly pictured by Rural Delivery. “In Lilac Time,” by Experience, impressed me as a trle home-heart story; and that tale: “Our 8on from College,” by Ma, was full of the elixir of youth. My dear sisters we are doing things in the Social Corner and doing them well. It may be well for you all to know that a pin run through the cork of every bottle containing poison is a small precaution which may save a life. The protruding poifit by prick- ing you will remind you what you have in_vour hand even in the dark. Perhaps some of the Sisters have delicate velvet ribbons that have be- come soiled which they would like to clean. Just take the cleanest rag you can find and put upon it the least sus- picien of butter. Then wipe smoothly the way the pile runs over the soiled surface, and then wipe it over with another clean cloth. As the wiping cloths bezome dirty use fresh ones and in a very short time the soiled look vanishes leaving the velvet clean and W. and looking as good as new. Ms i8 a trade secret I learned from a milliner, and I have often proven its_effectiveness, To clean a colored serge skirt put a handful ef bran in a basin and pour uopn it about half a pint of boiling ‘water, then let it stand to ceol. When cool dip the handbrush into it and thoroughly brush the entire skirt and then hang it in the air to dry. When quite dry brush off all the particles ot bran adhering to it and then press thoroughly on the wrong side with a hot iron. This will gige any worn serge skirt a new lease of life. May all the sisters find daily Ppleas- ure in the duties of life. RUTH. Norwich. RECIPES WITH HOME ENDORSE- MENT.

EIDELWEISS, THE MAKING OF SOFT DRINKS. Dear Sisters of the Corner: I did not intend writing this week, but want to give Glenwood a recipe for a cool- ing drink that I like very much. %t is one teaspoon cream of tartar, four heaping teaspoons sugar, one quart water. That alone is good, but it can be varied. to suit your taste. Add lemon extract and it makes a good substitute for lemonade: Or you can use ginger, vanilla or lny flavor- ianrelernd 3 id you ever try drlnunl a cup of hot milk when very tired and warm? If you can sit in the shade and drink it leisurely you will find it much more refreshing than it sounds. Only One, T had to laugh when I read your letter. Now I'll tell you your mm. and you can guess wfll. they are stili my very dear -friends: and I doubt if we were schoolmates even as 1 do not know of even one girl that was at school with me, who has four children, and you say that You have. Am not sure that I know you, but think I do. Now, may I gi you some advice? ‘Write to ‘that friend who yveu think does not appreciate you as she ought, and tell her all about it. You may be mistaken in her, or possibly she does not know that you have done any- thing for her, and would be glad to know about it. Blanche, dear, don’t make us any bluer than we are by predicting a famine, but join us in praying for a rain. It looks now as though we might get one. HOUSEWIFE. THE SPIRIT OF GOOD WiLL. Dear Sisters of the Secial Corner: I have been very much interested in the Corner letters and especially en- joved the letter, “Only One,” wrote to “Housewife.” Dear Only One, was not your maiden name A. S. H., and were you not frem Lebanon? Please write again and tell us more about thgse good children of yours, I think one of the beautiful things about the Social Corner is the spirit of goodwill and helpfulness that pre- vails. All seem content if they win only the fourth prize with never a word of grumbling against the good editor. There are so many things to be happy about; and so many good qual- ities in our friends and neighbors that it seems a pity to hear anyone grumble or complain, or find fault over little things that are of no con- sequence anyway. “There is so much that is bad in the best of us] And so much that is good in the worst| of us That it doesn’t behoove any of us To talk about the rest of us.” ANOTHER NORMALITE. Yantie. M. ROENA WRITES ENTERTAIN- INGLY OF NATURE. Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: How many of you have no- ticed the beautiful, the magnificent sunsets we are having. A few evenings ago I was feeling a little lonely. A feeling of home-sick- ness stole over me. I walked to the farther end of the varanda where I counld see the setting sun. No artist pen can paint the picture that was revealed to me in that sunset and those cleuds; and I =aid surely that cloud has more than a silver lining for the edges were fringed with silver jand gold. And as T stood there en- raptured with its beauty, I thought the same hand that has formed those beautiful clouds, ®uides, and direct our lives And a prayer of gratitude crept in my heart: thai in the beauties of nature so many of my joys, and much of my happiness is found. We do not have to look for the thorns and the thistles, we find them in our pathway all through life. But happy ‘are we if we can discover the roses among the thorns, the gold among the dross, the sunshine among the clouds. How many blessings we have. We count them littie things but after all our lives are made up with little pleasures, little comforts, little bless- ings, and happy may thege prove to us if we accept them as special favors from our dear Heavenly Father._ . 1 feel so thankful these warm dayvs that I am in the country, where the air is fresh and pure and where I can enjoy nature in all its beauty. How my h aches for the poor mothers tl> children who must stay the city through all the heated term. If T was only rich T would make the mothers and the little ones happy by sending them out in the country where they could enjoy the birds and flowers and the beautifiil green grass. T have made a long call for this warm morning and now must leave you, wishing you all happiness. M. ROENA, Colchester. A KIND DEED. Dear Editor and Sisters: A pleas- ing incident came to my notice a short time ago: what more appropriate then that T should share it with you? Mrs. A. was about to leave her beau- tiful home with its shady veranda and its well-kept lawns for her equally pleasant summer homeg The Misses B. acquaintances of Mrs. A., less fort- unate in regard to verandas, shady lawns, etc, came at Mrs. A.'s kind and thoughtful invitation and spent two never-to-be-forgotten months in that delightful place, which would have otherwise been closed. And Mrs. A. enjoying the ocean breezes, had that sweet consciousness of having done something for someone. We' cannot all do big things, but (lest we forget) there is always “the cup of cold water” which we may give in His name. AN OBSERVER. Knr‘wich. TESTED RECIPES FOR JELLIES. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: If there is one thing more than an- other, that T pride myself on it is my jelly making, and as the season for such work is at hand I thought some of my recipes may be helpful to some one. First remember to use only fresh, ripe fruit, for fruit that is over-ripe will never jell no matter how long it is boiled—better that it should be under-ripe. Currant Jelly can be made by first washing the fruit as they are apt to be sandy and a great many times poisons are sprinkled on them to kill insects so I always like to wash and drain thoroughly. Then put into a stone jar and mash with the potato masher. Stems need not be taken off, put into a jelly bag and squeeze well; strain again but do not squeeze the bag if you want a clear jelly: Jut in- to a porcelain kettle, boil hard for twenty minutes, then add sugar that has been heated in the oven, always using one pcund of sugar to a pint ot juice; or one cup of sugar and one of Ju!ce which is the same proportion; five minutes; roll tumblers MISTRESS TABITHA TABBY KAT The Garden of Roses Dreamiand Do you wonder that after reading this mysterious address, the very at- mosphere in the Ecitor's office took on an air of mystery. The Editor look- ed bewildered. Some pretty puzzling things had come to him through the Social Corner, but this one had him guessing hard. . The visitor broke the silence by adding— A “1 see, Mr. Editor, I must explain more definitely who I am and what my errand is,” she continued: “I'm the Social Corner Sister's humble servant. My mission is to visit the dif- ferent homes and frighten away any mice which would destroy the precious recipes, written by the Corner Sisters, or devour the tasty delicacies made from these valuable recipes.” *“You see, Mr. Editor, that my work (sort of a Puss-in-the-Corner Business) is most interesting. The Sisters are such kind-hearted, hospitable ladies that even a Tabby Kat enjoys going among them. 1 tell you, I've lived with all classes of ladies and partaken of all varieties of foods: but the dainty dishes that the Corner Sisters get up are nothing short of wonderful; and the beautiful homey ideas they carry out. I heard the husband of one sister make the remark that any dish pre- pared by a Corner Sister was fit to send to the Cormation and set before the new King and Queen. around in hot water and fill; let stand twenty-four hours and cover. Blackberry Jelly—The uncultivated blackberries are best for jelly. Put the berries down in a porcelain ket- tle, cook until berries are quite soft. Put into jelly bag and squeeze out all the juice. Measure the juice and to each pint of juice allow one pound of granulated sugar. Boil the juice rap- idly for .twenty minutes, turn in the heated sugar, dissolve thoroughly, let boil five minutes and fill tumblers. Peach Jelly—Pare, stone and slice the peaches. Crack a few of the kernels and throw in with peaches; put into porcelain kettle to boil and to each half peck of peaches allow one cup of water. €over closely and cook until fruit is well broken; put into jelly bag and drip; and to every pint of juice allow the juice of one iemon and a pound of granulated sugar; boil from 20 to 35 minutes to test. Take out a teaspoonful of the boiling jelly, pour it onto the bottom of a saucer, and stand in a ccld place for a mo- ment. If jellied the surface will be partly solid, if not boil a few minutes longer and try again: as soon as it jellies roll the tumblers quickly in ‘boiling water and fill Apple Jolly—Lady blush or fall pip- pins are best for jelly. The first makes a bright red jelly, the last an almost white jelly. Wipe the fruit, cut it in- to pieces withoutr paring or removing the seeds. Put into a porcelain-lined kettle, and barely cover with cold water. Cover the kettle and boil slowly until the apples are very tender; then drain through a flannel jelly bag: do not squeeze or your jelly will be cloudy. To every pint of juice allow one pound of granulated sugar. Put ! the juice into a porcelain kettle, bring it quickly to a boil, add the sugar, stir until dissolved, boil rapidly until it jellies, skimming off the scum as it comes to the surface. Usually twenty minutes is sufficient; but it can boil if necsssary for thirty- fill into hot tumblers and put aside to cool Crab Apple Jelly made the same way; use the large Siberian crab ap- ple. Quince Jelly—Wipe the fruit, cut in- to quarters, remove the seeds, but do not pare and proceed the same as with apple jelly after all jellies have stood for twenty-four hours put on the lids if they are tumblers, if not cover with two thicknesses of tissue paper. Paste down the edges, moisten the top of the paper Wwith a sponge dipped in cold water. This moistening stretches the paper, so that when it dries and is as smooth and tight as a bladder skin. If you prefer, use the paraffine wax. JANET. Norwich. GREETINGS.

Yamm AN OBSERVER DESIRES A RECIPE Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Thanks, M. Rowena, for your cooking recipe. It was fine. I wonder how many of the sisters are finding it something of a puzzle to get their work done in the cool of the morning. I like to have my fire out as soon as possible. When I have v etables I plan to get them the night before. As I rise at four and begin my breakfast I try to find a few min- utes to feed and water my hens and chickens while it is cooking. As we keep about a can of milk home each day I put four or five quarts on the stove to s¢ald while T am +ating. The rest goes in the well for supper. Rising from the table I get the chil- dren ready to go with their father to the milk train. Next I start my din- ner, such as vegetables or meat. Two young calves claim my attention next, | and how I love to watch them grow. | Returning to the house I make a cake, or a pudding, or whatever T need, washing my dishes last while the cake or pudding is cooking, I wish to thank Mr. Bromley for his advise. T think if T had his roses T would keep the wild rose, even if it did kill the Rambler. T am sending ‘a recipe for Molasses Cookies—Put a teaspoonful of soda in- to a coffeecup; three tablespoonsful of hot or boiling vuter, Stir three Mr. Editor, I must bid vou good afternoon. Thanks for your kind attention. Perhaps I'll come again if the Sisters can spare me.” She handed Mr. Editor an envelope, and before he had an opportunity to. even send his best wishes to the Sis- ters, his visitor had gone—disappeared as mysteriously as she had appeared. Left alone, the Editor proceeded to open the mysterious envelope, hoping the contents would solve the mystery. This is what he read: Dear Mr. Editor: Through the bearer, Mistress Tabitha Tabby Kat. the Corner Sisters wish to express their desire to hold their first meeting at some future date, if the idea meets with @your approval The place which the writer has in view is “The Garden of Roses,” Dreamland; and it is her thought that the meeting take the form of a Garden Party. A report of the meeting will be sent to vou, Mr, Editor, including a glowing account of the beautiful “Garden of Roses,” in the mysterious world of “Dreamland.” The writer hopes you will approve of this plan, and regrets that she is powerless to explain the mysterious matter more fully. She awzits with pleasure your approval or disapproval. With Social Cornerly wishes, I.am, The Corner Sisters’ FAIRY GOD MOTHER.

GERTRUDE SENDS HER FIRST LETTER. ~ Dear Editor and Sisters af the Social Corner: 1 have a Social Corner scrap- book and I fily to it often, both for the nice recipes and directions for do- ing other things. As variety is the spice of life I think it very mice to exchinge ideas and ways of doing things; and so not get too deep in old ruts. - This is my first letter to the Corner, but all this while I have been peeping through the shutters. Have thought I would like to write; but each week there has seemed to be enough with- out me. Our mailman gets along dur- ing ths dinner hour and the good man unfolds The Bulletin and hands Social Corner sheet over with a smile. I enjoy Ma's letters very much as I am raising a good many chickens. 1 am very.fond of all animals on the farm from the cat up to:the dear, kind faithful horses; gnd will be glad to see the last mad of hay unloaded both for the men’s sake and the horse’s. M. Luella, I think it is quite a prob- lem to keep the houde rid of flies. 1 have a weight hung on my screen doors so the children are obliged to trot right along when they go in and out as the door shuts quickly. This is a_very long letter I fear for the first. Success to the Corner. GERTRUDE. Ledyard. INTERESTING LETTER FROM RURAL DELIVERY. - Editor Social Corner: We wish to thank “Glenwood” for her kind words of cheer in regard to our letters in the Corner. We do not feel as fright- ened as we did when we found we were the only male writer for the So- cial Corner, Brother Bromley has come into the circle and he is an expert on rose culture (and what lady does not love roses). While he will interest them all I know but little of roses, except to en- joy their perfumes. We might suggest that should the Social Corner hold an “Old Home Day” sometime in the future I might be handy turning the crank of the ice cream freezer, or help- ing about the table for dinner, or do something about the dishes. ‘When I was young my parents kept a boarding house and I used to help the girls about the dishes after dinner. We thought it was “lots” of fun, which well paid for the work. I am not very much interested in white burches, except to find a way to exterminate them, for there are white burches enough in this section to keey a factory running for years making spools for thread. I will say to “Ready” that one of the greatest comforts of a home is “music;” and for twenty-five vears T have greatly enjoved playing the vio- lin, which afforded more comfort then Wwe can express. A few years azo while sawing wood with a circular saw I met with an ac- cident which nearly severed three fin- gers from the left hand which de- stroy the joints and to my great sor row I was obliged to lay down the violin and the bow for the remainder of my life. There are many days during the year I should so much enjoy a few hours playing the violin, whlch is next tc_the human voice. It is to be hoped the hot weather is over for this season. One young ifel- low remarked it was hoiter then love in July. How many husbands fully Realize as they came home to dinner the trials and sufierings the good housewife had to endure over the hot stove to pre- pare the good noon dinner which he enjoyed. .There was much suffering in the of- fice, store and mills; also, in the hay field; but no one suffered more than those who did the cooking and had no oil stove to use. As a rule man’s trials are as noth- ing compared to the trials of the good housewife who makes “home” the dear- est spot on earth. RURAL DEL!\ERY. Danielson. §WF" Take no substitute.

SWEET SIXTEEN'S NEWLY FUR- NISHED ROOM, Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: | I have just completed the furnishings for my bedroom and it looks so in- viting and cool I just want to tell you how I did it. My curtains, bedspread and bureau scarf are of pale blue and white checked gingham, the window curtains are plain with a valance across the ton. For the bedspread use white em- broidery insertion where the breadths must be joined together down the cen- ter, and also at the head of the ruffle. For a bureau searf use three squares of the gingham joined together by the insertien, and finish the edge .with a ruffle of emproidery. A blue and white matting on the | floor, with a blue and white cotton | rug in front of the bureau, adds to the | attractiveness of the room. szham' is unexpensive and launders well. SWEET SIXTEEN.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: I expected during the hot spell some of our members would feel too indisposed to write; but am pleased ! to read cheerful words from the older members as well as the new. I am not at all surprised to read new names every week for how can any one read such good letters week after week and not feel something prompt- ing them to write. T wonder who will tell us how many letters have been written for this cor- ner at the end of the year! How many recipes for cakes, pies and pud- dings!
