Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Last Christmas I made an auto-scarf and it was so highly prized that 1 de- cided to make two more for this Christ- mas, and this is the way they are made: To Make an Auto-Scarf—Begin with 60 stiches cast on and knit 20 rows in garter stitch; this is just plain knit- ting, both ends alike. After the 20 10 stitches at each end. The ro re contirued in garter stitch, and the center 40 stitches are worked in d@ice pattern. First row—Knit 4, purl 4. and repeat to end. On the next three rows purl the purled stitches and knit the kait stitches. Then knit plain for two rows. Seventh row—Purl 4. knit 4, and repeat to end. On the next three rows purl the puried stitches, and knit the knitted stitches. Again knit plain for two rows. This completes the second series of blocks. Repeat from tle first block pattern row until the scarf is 20 inches long; then knit 20 rows in garter stitch and bind off. Work in single crochet on all the edges of the scarf to make them firm, then tie fringe in every fourth stitch across the ends. Bach strapd should contain six threads, each eifht inches long, or four inches when doubled. ‘When the strands have been knotted in, tie half of each strand to the adjoining half strand for the second series of knots, A Pretty Four-Leafed Clover Needle Book is made by taking half a yard each of Dresden and satin ribbon, 41-2 inches wide, and three-quarters yard of No. 2 ribbon. Cut four hearts from pasteboard, measuring four inches across tha widest part, and the same down the center. Slash two of the hearts down the center. Cover each heart and half heart separately with Dresden ribbon on the inside. Over- hand the edges and join the sections with little bands of = narrow ribbon, Turn the ends of the straps across the hearts under the edges, and at the center of top of each eomplete heart place a ribbor for tying. Wonder to whom I am indebted for that pretty compliment in last Satur- day’s Bullétin. Is that a mystery also? Wish I were worthy of it. Dear Roena: The suspense is becom- ing unbearable. Perhaps you are pre- paring a story SWEET SIXTEEN. CHRISTMAS Norwich. SOMEBODY WANTS TO KNOW IF NAT VOTES. Dear Editor and cosy corner this is guessing who someone else is! I am guessing, too!

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The general opinfon, where thete are only two in the family, is that the housekeeper, including the most of the sewing and trimming the cartoon hats of the present time, must have oceans of time to do any kind of fancy work er anything she moy choose to do. And the person who lives alone, well, they do not have to do anything, hardly.

Some- times it is death that c us, and makes us pull out of the “rut” of con- stant travel of years. So it was with Silas Brainerd, new sixty years old. Never a romance or sentiment in his life. Left without parent or home when a mere boy—he had been a hard worker—practicing close economy all his boyhood, until at thirty vears old when bachelorhood came, he had seen little of society and found himself a sort of machine. His days were spent in his factory, where he had worked out a_small fortune, in which he had an office dreary and dingy. He never varied five minutes in his arrival and departure, nor did his few workmen. With him had followed old Ben, working the same hours, always there, the same homely old face, never a smile or more than the plain greeting of years. No thought seemed to come to these that it would or could ever be different. But when “Old Ben" daropped at the wheel— heart disease—Bralnerd was bewild- ered, one clog in the wheel had stop- ped: old Ben, his assistant, w. When 2 business friend sai: a voung man for bookkeeper, and a young woman for stenography and typewriting,” Silas was fairly fright- ened. He had alw: written his own lgtters, he had not spoken to a wo- man for vears, nor had young people about him for vears. They would whis- tle, and be late mornings, and want half-days off, and talk baseball, things ©old Pen never thought of. But after some days of worriment as well as loneliness, Brainerd was forced to make the change, and was surprised to sece how quiet and sys- tematic both these young people were, how quickly all business was disposed of, and a littie sunshine came into the old office. It was tidled, a new chair came in, a vase of flowers on the desk, and after a few days Brainerd ‘was not afraid of the young woman. A month passed. The master sat at his desk in scerious thought. Ile was not given to reviewing his life, but on this day he saw plainly that he had missed about all the things that malke the ordinary man’s life worth living. 0o home, no wife, no children, no amusements, no senti- ment: he couldn't remember when he had laughed, when he had shed a tear. He had lived in a shell—he had let the world alore—and the world had no interest in him. What was the awakening? And who was responsi- ble for it? Was it this fair-haired girl whe sat for hours with a pleasant face, and the constant tick, tick? Brainerd began to plan more changes, even though it frightened him, who had known only one path, *o and from the boarding house to the office. That evening ne went to a theater, saw the first show of his life, then followed some cvenings later a restaurant dinner. dnd missed for the first time in twenty vears a meal at his bcarding house. Then came changes in his habits and attire, waich Sodl e Lo ‘share %o tho , he came to the house where he was stopping with a mammeth shrub oak root! ‘gong, we will !'numyol your reserves and les.

He had come part way out of his shell, but he was afraid of being"laughed at, by both men and women; anfl if he thought of ge, to whom? He tried to dismiss the subject, but the longing for a close fricnd, a mate, a wife, would steal over him. While it annoyed him, he was forced to say, Why not? I read and hear of men of sixty-three mar It was a fine day in spring. The warm air_came in through an open window. The scent of violets from the stenographer's desk, and her bright and happy face, her golden hair rolled so softly, all appealed to Brainerd, and he thought, Why not? She is a respectable girl, with poor parents. Her pay, while fairly good, had to be used at home. ife could take her from work and help her family, and leave her comfortably off. Yes, he would ask Mamie Bent to marry him. But it was some time before Silas Brainerd could form any plan of ap- proach to the young lady. This was quite out of his line.. Should he call on her father, or should he buy her books and flowers? Should he ask Leonard Bridge. READY IS ACTIVE AND GAY. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: Here I am once more.

Suffrage is in the air,'and has got to come, from the West to the east; and the sooner Norwich gets in line the better. I am delighted that the women teachers of New York, after a five years' fight have got equal pay for equal work. ‘Won't the women of the Social Cor- ner read “Tom Grogan,” by F. Hop- kingon Smith.
