The business meeting took just fifteen minutes; the result of it was a vote to hold a picnic ! for all the Cornerites, somewhere, some time in July. Having 80 successfully accomplished their business, the commiitee setiled down to tatting, embroidety and con- versation. “Ever eince the burning of the Windham High school,” began Biddy, | “I have wondered if ‘I should know | what to do if my house were on fire.” “Great minds run in the same chan- {liehtly.

We could appoint the one Wwho is least able to run around an work to stand guard over the good “My father,” commenced Ready, “says that he would first get the box containing his valuable papers.” “My great aunt,” Married nad Happy volunteered, “thinks that she could |save her jewelry on a moment’s no- tice. It is all kept in a small flannel bag which is always in the same place in one of her bureau drawers.” “These ideas,” began Ready, though very good, are applicable only in case there were at least a few mo- | ments of time. Suppose there were only a few seconds, could one even save her life?" | To which Theoda replied: “My father's sister’'s brother-in-law, | who ‘was a_sailor, advised making a rope of the bedclothes and letting one- self down from the window hand over hand.” | After | Biddy announced | “Our conversation has made me feel {rather warm. I think I shall pass around seme fans.” The Sisters fanned themselves a few moments, then resumed their various industries and the conversation turned to less exciting topics. As the patient Ready was making one more attempt to initiate Aunt Mehitable Into the mysteries of tatting the telephone rang. With ene accord the Sisters dropped their work and Married and Happy exclaimed: “Now for our fire drill!” A moment later a heavy smoke poured into the room. “Sisters!"” shouted Biddy. “See that smoke? T believe the house is on fire! Help me save my valuables.” “We will!” chorused the Sisters as they flew in different directions, Polly Wintergreen ran to one of the bedrooms nad snatched the spread | from the bed. Spying on one of the | chairs some partly worn clothes which ‘lkidny had selected fo give to the | that symnastic suggestion, worthy poor, she laid them carefullv in the spread, then ran to the closet and seized Biddy’s best hat and a pair The Sé(cié[ Corfner’s Fire Drill “al- | Mehitable the spread. ‘'When Aunt Mehitable appear- ed on the scene she was looking for needle and thread with which to su.¥ up the bundle. “What -are yvou doing?” Aunt Mehitabie.

This is lighter and easier than a chair would be to carry.” “Why not toss it out the window 2" “It is too fragile to be treated that way,” and Aunt Mehitable trotted off to find something to carry in the other | hand. | In the closet of an adjoining bed- room Theoda was frantically searching for the box of valuable papers. INinai- ly she hurried downstairs with a shoe of shoes, which she. also put in ejaculated box containing Social Corner clip- | pings. i : | In the dining room Married and | Happy snatched two clean tablecloths and a dozen napkins from the side- | board and knotted them together. When she perceived that the resulting rope was longer than the distance from the dining room window to the ground she carried it upstairs, tied one end to the foot of the bed in the guest | room and hung the other end out of the window. A The sound of vigorous rummaging in the pantry was found to proceed from Ready, who eventually emerged lug- ging a canton flannel broom bas. “Ready,” expostulated Aunty, do you want that bag “it_contains Biddy's jewelry. Don't you remember that she said it was al- ways kept in a bag in a drawer of the pantry?” As Biddy, Strawberrv Acres and Aunty were fastening the garden hose to the faucet in the kitchen, so that “why rumble of wheels was heard. An in- stant later a surrey drove to the door and Pink Rose, Aline, Hannah Who and One of Them exclaimed simultane- ously: “What under the shining canopy are you people doing?” “Is this amateur theatricals?” “Are you all crazy?” “The house is on fire help us?” screamed Aunty. “I don't see any fire,” replied Pink Rese. ‘Look at the smoke in the sitting room.” “That comes from that bonfire next Can’t you door. The wind is blowing the smoke directly this way.” “Girls!” exclaimed Biddy to the oth- ers, "who had been attracted to the kitchen by the sound of voices, “how foolish we have been! We should have first tried to discover the reason for the smoke.” “You certainly made gorgeous racket,” began Aline. “We little thought when we planned to call on Biddy this afterneon that we should find so many other Sisters here.” 2 “It_is fine to have so many of us together. Won't you stay to supper?” urged Biddy. Hannah Who responded: “Four peo- ple are rather too many to come unex- pectedly to supper. If vou will let us drive to the store and get something to contribute we will be happy to ac- cept your invitation.” “All right,” agreed Biddy. “I plan- ned to set the table and use my old- fashioned gilt edged china and have everything in the Social Corner color, if possible. 1 will change the plan and just pienic here on the veranda.” ile Biddy, Aunty and Strawberry Acres prepared the supver the other Sisters restored the house to some- thin~ approaching Its former neatness and order. ‘When the driving party returned all sat down to a delicious supper and a season of mirth and good fellowship. it should be in readiness if needed, the | Thouse burn. but 1 am afraid he wouta if 1 had not got there about as I did, and it is lucky the well is near.” ETTA BARBER.

Dear Members of the Social Corner: L will drop in and make a short call. | For the past few days 1 have been quite busy with my chickens: and am very sorry to say that I have not had the best of luck in hatching them out.

Hope I will have ! good success” with it. i I was quite pleased with Etta Bar- | ber's letter of last week. It was to the point in many respects. I wonder if all the members of the | Social Corner love and own horses. I | for one am a great admirer of horses. i Have ‘always had a horse to use and {think the horse more desirable than |an auto, and I have both.

White ribbon and other delical articles are also easlly cleaned b washing in this fluid, To make a straw matting look like new and keep it always fresh in ap- pearance, wipe it over once a week with a cloth wrung out of weak salt water. I have found the waxed papers off Jaundry soap are as good as beeswax, or_better, to rub flatirons over. Use white oilcloth instead of table- cloths for everyday use, especially if vou have little ones, or hired help. Potato parings after being dried in the oven.make fine kindlings. If a garment is slightly scorched by ironing hang it out of doore in the sunshine and the marks will shortly disappear. When cooking a tough chicken add a tablespoon of vinegar and sce how much more- quickly it will cook ten- cer. If you mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with the table salt before putting the salt into the shaker it will not become damp and cake. To brighten the colors in a ecarpet, use cornmeal. Sprinkle the carpet lightly with it and sweep off. You wiil © find the carpet greatly improved by this means. Nothing is better for restoring the brightness of polished tables than rub- bing them with a linen rag dipped in cold-drawn linseed ofl. Marks made on the table by hot dishes should be rubbed with paraffine This will also remove white marks from furniture. In packing away winter clothes a to avold the disagreeable smell of moth balls is to pack clothes away in lavender. This not only keeps away mothe, but imparts a delicious odor when taken out in the fall. When putting away silverware that is not used all the time do not neglect Lo sprinkle a few finy bits of camphor gum in each case It will not become iscolored. A little salt added to the water when scrubbing willow furniture will give it a fresh appearance. Goodness, how long I stayed!

FIGHTING THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. Had $3.75 for Food Supplies. Through some unfortunate business a year ago our income was reduced to a low figure, and the amount appor- tioned to me for all food supplies was a week. Our family consists of my husband, myself and the three year old child. At first I found much diffi- culty in making ends meet, but now I find the amount covers everything and that our table is well supplied. In- stead of buying canned vegetables during the winter months I use car- rots. onions, cabbage, turnips, oyster plant and parsnip. They are whole- some and even dainty and delicious nhen care is taken in their prepara- tion. Dried lima beans are inexpen- sive and will _cook quickly ‘if soaked beforehand. I canned tomatoes last summer, paying 50 cents a bushel for them, and as one bushel made 18 quart jars the cost was not greal. Split peas make excellent and [nex- pensive soup, and bran mufiins for breakfast are as cheap as they are nourishing. We never buy cheap grades of groceries or meats, and as we have the lafter only once a day the exvense is not great We use a great many apples which 1 serve in Various wave. Kvery dinner has its dessert_and 1 keep on hand tapioca cornstarch, cocoanuf. chocolate, ein- namon. nuimeg and flavoring, and it | astonishing what good and simple things can be made from dav fo day with little variations We buy from two to three pints of milk a day, and every bit that Is left T add to my pitcher of sour milk, which T always have on hand for muffine or spice caxe. 1 know that our finances will soon take a fturn for the better, bt nis a true account of the way I Va managed for' the last year om 3 1 wee “What Will They Think?" It the preconceived notion of what uthers will think that is responsible ‘or a great amount of the high cost of living. It causes us to buy new clothes when what we have are good and we would gladly wear them if it were mnot for that fear of others’ disapproval. It keeps us from getting out dh tha lawn and doing the work that would be a pleasure and a delight, as well an heing just what we need physically, but “What would they think?” it compels us to buy extra and un- necessa luxuries when company comes when, no doubt, -they are no more accustomed to those luxuries than we are. In short, it it is responsible for all sorts of expenditures, both little and Lig, that we could very well dispense with if we would only get away from the idea of what others might think— Letters from Chicago Tribune. ONION WITH DUCK. Many people dislike the taste of wild duck. but by boiling ducks in water enough fo cover, with one good sized onlon and a pinch of baking soda, until onion is (ender, that strong tasia will vanish.
