POOR WE, _ Editor of the Social Corner: Acdord- ing to what we read in books and pa- pers, the negroes in general have been and are today a great problem in the United States: but if given a chance, even a fighting chance, treated as oth- er nations are treated, they make de- girable citizens.

T presume nearly all young house- keepers meet with about the same dif- Nculties, so I'm sending a few tricks »f the trade that experience has taught, me. 1—Use a fork in blending flour and water for thickening. It does the work “much more thoroughly than a spoon and is guicker. Also. don't make the thickening too stiff, That will cause a lumpy satice. Make so it will pour | easily 2—~My rice muffins used to stick bad- v until someone suggested greasing the tins well with lard (not buiter) and then gsprinkling over with flour. Now they slip out easily. 3—8emetim..s my doughnuts used to be tough, with no apparent reason, as * had followed all directions carefully.

WILL BE WELCOMED BACK. Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: I have been on a vacation, 's care, and it seems good to be out with you again. How interesting your letters have been. I think we all feel like giving “three cheers” for the delightful, welcome rain we enjoved last week—the Xills and fields 100k so fresh and green. Billie: Your letter on “Home, Sweat Home,” was all right; and may there ‘be many homes like it. No, Ruth, we should not permit grief to mar our lives. I think we should not keeu our sublime love and tenderness sealed up until our friends are dead. We hould fill their liven with sweetness,speak approving, cheer- ing words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and be made happier by them. The kind things we mean to do when they are gone, we should do before they gi. The flowers vou mean fo send for their coffins, send to brighten their ! homes befors they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes! laid away full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and aifection, . which intend to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, that T may be cheered and refreshed by them while I need them. I would rather be without flowe after I'm gone than to have my life without love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for burial. kindness does not cheer the burdened spirit—flowers on a coffin cast no fra- grance backward over the weary way. L. H. K. Lisbon.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: For a number of vears, we have been buying molasses sugar at two and a half cents a pound, and it is delivered in butter tubs. so that when melted it can be strained through a jelly cloth. The tubs are useful for many pur- poses, so have made another fireless cooker with ome; making it the old- fashioned way, putting hay two inches | | I have hurried on too fast?

Washeg we grow oider time seems to travel and dried a grain bag and partly fille with hay for the packing around the inside. To form the round center space, pasteboard and asbestos seven inches wide were “used, round pieces for the top, a half bag of hay next and then the cover. People do not understand the prin- ciple of the cooker (and some do not want to); and wonder how anything can cook, With a hot soapstone at the bottom, and kettle of beiling food placed in, with cushion and cover quickly put over the top, thus exclud- ing the cold air, it will keep at that temperature for some time, and scald- ing hot for hcurs. The food must cook with those conditions. Shall use one of ours this winter. Oatmeai and rice cooked over night are fine. They are faithful, safe, eco- nomical cooks, doing tire work while vou sleep or go shopping. I start the dinner in the morning, about seven if convenient, then there is no trouble looking after it, and at noon it is piping hot. Of cougse the ready-made ones are better, but the home constructed do mearly as geod service for everyday ecooking. ‘Wish the Corner Sisters would give them a trial.

Before my marriage. twenty- five years ago, sScarcely a yvear passed that I did not attend the New London county fair on the middle day which, at that time, was considered the best. My father exhibited his fruit and vegetables there yearly and we chil- dren would be watching for the day to come, perhaps a month before time, and at last when the day would come he would harness up the horse to a two-seated carriage and early in the morning we would start with our well- filled basket of luncheon, for four healthy children could consume a goed deal in a day, and we would roam around the fair grounds, sit on the rand stand, and listen to the music, { do, but they are a very scarce article | in the milk business | and | 1 add water enough | BLANCH. \ wishing the time would quickly come again for us to attend the New Lon- don county fair. JANET. Norwich. WANTED—A MENU. Editor Social Corner: According to statistics gathered by the government bureau of labor the average wages re- ceived by the workers in the manufac- turing industries of the country is less than nine dollars per wéek. How to provide wholesome, appetizing dishes for the average family of five on a total income of less than nine. dollars weekly is a problem which is of vital interest to millions of housewives. It is needless to say that most sugges- tive menus presuppose a much larger income. At the present high prices, meat is of course a luxury to those who receive such meager wages. Can any of the Social Corner readers pre- | pare a weekly menu, eliminating meat and fish, which will furnish a varied isfying food for the ordinary family of five with an average income of nine dollars weekly to pay all bills? Surely there must be some among the thrifty i housewives and clever contributors to | the Social Cerner who can help those | who are in the greatest need of such | a guide. PERPLEXED. Norwich.

WITCH HAZEL. PRESSED TO TRAVEL« ER. : THANKS EX ¥ditor Social Corner: I noticed & letter im the Social Corner August 26 from “Traveler,” and wish to thank her for the benefit of her broad experi- ence ameng us, though she fails to see the deeds of some of her own people as she travels. There are those of all ces who take more than their own. } On tke other side, the term is different. In order to prevent nervous prostra- tion or shame, the offense is called “kleptomania’; but it is stealing just Then, too, it is easier to steal something to eat than to steal ailro; It is also easier to enter a pantry, or an icebox than to enter a bank and open a safe. As to the fish, that is a comwpliment. The Master took two fish, and a few loaves, and fed thousands: and if this poor, hun- gry servant could get enough and swell the rest, to feed the family, she should not be censured, Doctoring up the fish is neot as bad as doctoring up a book that robs unborn generations, and when pursned by justice, suicide is committed as an escape. But there is an eyve thgt sees all, and some time, somewhere, your attention will be ecall- ed to your ewn. We thank you for calling our attention in time to those among us who are committing such awful crimes, that we may apprehend them and inete out justice that the nation may live; and should yvou travel Jess perhaps your servant would not be cempelled to steal food at any rate For they whe work must cat.
