Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: 1 knew celluloid was of a highly | inflammable nature, as it is composed of gun colton. camphor and other substances; but 1 did not think mueh about it until last summer when the accidental ignition of 3 lluloid side comb in my home cauvsed a fire which | might have proved serious but for the prompt actior of my sister-in-law. One morning she lighted a lamp. Near it on the “dresser” was a smal side comb. She was startled by an explosion and a blaze. She grabbed a p; of shears lying near, and poked | the comb off onto the floor and kept it in motion untl it was consumed. She then turned to the “dresser” and was horrified to see the muslin win- dow curtains a blazing mas: With a wool knit skirt which happened to be near at hand, she pulied the curtains from their fastenings and smothered the flames. The shade also had caught and was burning fiercely, that too, she smothered with the skirt. Thie all happened in much less time than it has taken me to write it, yet the curtains were nearly consumed, the shade ruined and the window cas- ings scorched and blistered, all from a tiny spark which flew from a match and found lodgement on a side comb. | In these davs of complicated hair dressing we women are compelled to wear side combs, barrettes, etc., if we would follow Dame Fashion, and it is difficult to buy anything but culluloid. | Even the expensive ones are of cel- | luloid. I made a tour of one of our ity’s stores, and in only one instance could 1 find anything but celluloid. In one store 1 managed to buy one dozen { Japanese shell hair pins. All that they had in stock. I ordered side combs and barrette of shell; but the order has not yet been filled, so I am still wearing celluloid, though I much prefer not to; but sisters, though w may be obliged to wear celluloid h: “necessaries” we should be very ecar ful that they with do not come in contact fire, for we may find the ‘old low great a fire a tiny spark kindleth” fully emphasized.

Promptly on time the guesis began to arrive, coming by steam and trolley, ‘team and auto- mobile, from all surrounding towns. So many ladies on the street at the ame time caused a astander to re- mark that all the stores in Norwich must be having a bargain day. Reaching the hall, they were met and welcomed by the Social Corner Editor, who introduced them to Ruth. the chairman of the reception com- mittee. Assisting Ruth in receiving were The Dreamer, Square and Ready. Just as the last intreductions were being made there was a little flutter of excitement, which scon when it was learned. that Mrs. M.

Mrs. Robinson then read a paper en- titled “Woman in the Home; in Busi- ness; in Poiitics.” Her paper was well prepared, earnestly presented, and her arguments very convincing.

Blue Bells of Scotland: Many thanks for your sympathy. No doubt, you thought I was a rural mail carrier. You will have to guess again, as I have never carried the mail.
