N ters on vario excursions by land and Sea, in airships and autos, so 1 will take you for an imaginary view of the destruction of Hartford’s union sta- tion by fire. % I can truthfully say it was a beautj- ful spectacle, for, while no one enjoys seeing property destroyed, vet the burning of a railroad depot seems to be less appalling, as_“corporations are not supposed to have any souls.” On the afternoon of the fire I hap- pened to be one of a number of women shoppers who, being attracted by cries of “Union station’s on fire!” followed the crowds along Church street and halted within about 200 feet of the then doomed building. The express office was practically gone then at 3 p. m. and tongues of flames were fast lapping up the wait- ing room. In the blind attic the fire was llke a roaring furnace and pres- ently the roof tumbled in.

Cut your picture out around the edge very carefully and place it face down- ward in a saucer, plate, or other dish of any desired size or shape. Mix the plaster with water to the consistency of separator cream: so it will not crumble, as it is apt to do if too much plaster is used; pour the mixture over the picture to a depth of one-third to one-half inch. Leave to harden over fight or several hours. Care must be taken to have the edges of the picture lie flat and smooth, otherwise the plaster will run underneath and mar the finish. It is a good plan to soak it in water, to make it cling closely to the dish: a dry cloth or blotting paper will take up the’ moisture, also, put in a ring, loop of ribbon or cord before the plas- ter hardens, to hang the picture by when completed. After removing from the dish finish the edges of the plaster plaque with gold paint, or as you like, smoothing off with sandpaper or a knife any oughness of the edges. To keep apples from turning dark {after they are pared, put a tablespoon- ful of vinegar in a quart of water and drop your apples in the water until feady foo uso and they, will keepinice: | Waldorf Salad—Wash apples, remove slice from top, remove center, leaving | the shell intact; cut center into dice; mixed with one-third as much celery, ldiced. Blend with cream salad dress- ing and reflll the shell. Garnish with | lettuce leaves and whole walnut meats, Cream Salad Dressing—One-half ta- blespoon salt, one teaspoon mustard, | one and one-half tablespoons sugar, a few grains cavenne, one-half teaspoon flour, yolks two eggs, one and one- half ‘tablespoons melted crisco, three- quarters cup vinegar, three-quarters cup milk. Mix the dry ingredients, add | egz volis, beaten, add crisco, then the milk, add vinegar very slowly; cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. | Peanut Cookies—One and one-half | tablespoons crisco, one-quarter cup of i sugar, one egg, one teaspoon baking | powder one-quarter teaspoon lemon Jjuice, one teaspoon salt, one-half cup { flour, one and one-half tablespoons of | milk, one-half cup chopped peanuts; | mako like a cake mixture, adding fla- {voring and nuts last; drop by tea- ! spoons on baking sheet well greased with crisco; bake ten minutes; dot | each cqokie with one-half a peanut. MERRY WIDOW. A CHAT WITH MAPLE LEAF, | Dear Editor and Soctal Corner Sis- ters: Are you all living after the great Dblow out of Sunday. It was the worst I ever experienced; but it is nice to be rid of thg snow.. We have had very nice sleighing the past two weeks; but the fine spring days will soon be with us. Libbie: I shall be pleased to receive ur card whenever yvou have the time to send it. It will be welcome.. Rural Delivery: Your letter was fine. Come again. Snookums:, Your hints are all fine. Shall perhaps iry some of them some time. Crimson Rambler: Your tips on sew- ing are fine. Did you have any sleigh- rides? 1 had some and enjoyed them very much. Snowball: at_last. Balsam Fir: Glad to see your name { onc more; am very sorry for Joan if she is having trouble. I hope the dark cloud that is about her home is lifted ere now.

MAPLE LEAF. | | | | i You have begun to melt PERSIS’ SO?!AL CORNER SCRAP- BOOK. Dear Edjtor and Social Corner Sis- ters: I have been an interested reader |of the Social Corner page since its | founding, but have as yet contributed nothing to it. I realize this is very selfish of me, so will try to give as ! well as receive. | I have recognized acquaintances and friends among the writers from Scot- land, Plainfield, -Canterbury and Leb- {anon and would like to hear more | from them, i People have written on almost every bject but teaching school. As I am a school teacher, I would like to read | Jetters on teaching, not only frem ! teachers, but from parents, 1 have said I am a teacher, but I do not expect to remain so forever. | You wiil perhaps be able to guess my ! chosen future vocation when I ‘teil {you the use I have made of the So- | cial Corner. 1 have a National Simplex Note Book with loose leaves on which I have past- {ed all the recipes of the Social Cor- ! nerites. The recipes are grouped in {the following way: | Meats, fish, soups, eggs, vegetables, | preserves, pickles, salads, sandwiches, | bills of fare, bread. pastry, cake, frost- | ing and filling, cookies, doughnuts, des- i serts, drinks, candy, remedies, anti- | dotes for poison, invalids’ diet, etc., | sewing, Christmas . gifts, household | helps (including almost all that does not come under the other heads). In all I have over six hundred re- cipes and expect to add many more. | The advantage of the loose leaves is | this. Each week I can add to the dif- | ferent departments and still keep each |recipe in its proper group. The ad- { vantage of the clasps is that the book |can be opened to any page easily apd |left open at that place. The pages | can be taken out if desired, in a sec- {ond’s time. To make the book more | convenient, 1 am thifking of putting | & wider sheet between the departments with the heading written on the edge las in a ledger. This is the best may I know of of making the Social Corner recipes of lasting value. People may cut out the articles and put them carefully away, but I doubt if they will ever make use of many of them, for very few house- wives have time Saturday morning to sit down and hunt threugh a drawer full of odd recipes for just the one they want at that time. My Seclal Corner recige book is : 1 \i “Well, T do dgclare,” sald Nat to Jane Annm, last Tuesday evening about 8 p. m. when the thermometer was 8 below. “My, my, but it {s cold!” And @as he rubbed his hands bfim ‘white birch ‘grandmoth- and slipped off his boots and put on his home-made slip- pers Jane Ann had been for him, he continued: “Jane Ann, bring my account books. ¥ want to do some figering tonight; have been so busy for the last three years with them hogs, I have not had time to attend to all my business.” Jane Ann did af requested and sat down and began to mend one of John Henery's coats. “I do not see what is the matter with these books. I 't make them come out right, no matter how I fig- ure.” = “What seems to be the trouble ask- ed Jane Ann. “Trouble! 1 should say there's trouble enough; can't find out where 25 cents went to! “Oh! is that all?” answered she. “Is that all? Ain’t that enough? Do you know anything about it? If so, speak uj “Why, yes! You know about three years ago you gave me 25 cents to buy pens, paper, ink and stamps with, for you wanted to write to The Social Corner. The paper, pens and ink are not all gone yet; but you do not seem to be writing as often as you did Have you lost interest?” “Interest nothing. 1 tell you, Jane Ann, with so much care on my mind and s0 much hard work, I cannot re- member everything; and I cannot at- tend to everything that cames along. I am not going to, and you are not, eather.” “Oh, but Nat, you have enjoyved the good times with the rest of the folks!” “Yes, I know it; but see what it has cost me. I had to have new purple socks, spotted vest, and tie; you had | to hu~= a new silk dress and a new bonnet. , For may part I thought the old one was good enough.” “Well! Well! Do not get so excited about 1t!” “Are those sleigh bells I heard ?” ask- ed John Henery as he put up his school work., “I believe I hear some- one singing”” And soon there came floating on the air: “Jingle, jingle, hear me go, Thro' the heaps of drifted snow. Jingle, jingle, clear the way, 'Tis the merry sleigh!” “For my part,” sald Nat, “I do not see what folks want to be out on such a cold night for. I rather sit by a good warm fire!” “O!” said John Henery, “just see what a good time they are having.” “John Henery! It was manners when 1 was a boy not to speak until spoken Now take your candle and go to bed.” “Whoa!

HOW TO MAKE POST CARDS MORE INTERESTING. Dear Friends of the Social Corner: Your letters are always interesting to me and I am personally acquainted with some of you. Z Potlatch of Seattle: We are having our share of rain this winter, but here we are reminded of the old say- ing, “It never rains but it pours,” for when the precipitation once gets start- ed they come in a perfect deluge; how- ever, we keep sweet realizing the great Dbenetlt it is to all southern California |1 have friends in Seattle; wonder if you know them? Crimson Rambler: Your bright, chatty letters are very cheering. I am fond of your-rose and have mno- ticed how perfect the blooms are in the east. They do not take kindly to our climate, or at least this locality. Where is Jim? Hope he has not de- serted The Social Corner. Enid: That was a charming trip to Havana. Hope all The Cornerites are planning to come to California in 1915 and visit the two expositions at San Francisco and at San Diego. A cor- dial invitation is extended to all and a hearty welcome awalts you. The fairs officially open in February and close in December. 3 One rainy day I was looking over a promiscuous pile of souvenir post cards which have been aceumulating for a number of years, when a bright thought to me. Why not arrange these in “trips” and thus make them of greater interest to myself and my friends, so I began with cards .pic- turing places nearby and then chose a “round trip to Boston” and return going one way and returning another and tled a ribbon around each “trip” to keep it separate from others. Hol- iday cards were reserved for a sep- arate bundle.' This would be 2 pleasing pastime for the children on a rainy day, when a mother is sometimes at her wits’ end to find some entertalnment for the children. Cordelia’s timely suggestion on rug making is excellent. Rag rugs are much used here in bedrooms and bath- rooms. They are easily washed and cleaned and are more sanitary than heavy wool rugs. B3k Remember the trip to California in 1915. The railroads are preparing am- ple facilities for handling all traffic. Hotels are being built and the homes of friends will swing wide open their doors to receive all who may come. I wonder if the Editor could not take a vacation and accompany the party, assuming the role of business manager and guide? CALIFORNIA POPPY.

A SURE CURE FOR SMALLPOX, ETC. Dear Cornerites: It is a long time since I have written. Must say I en- joy reading the letters and since I found out two of my friends have written I am more than interested. Sunbonnet Sue: Didn't I call on you recently I think we are old friends. Am I right? Hopeful: When you come to see me again he sure and bring a lot of laughing gas. Didn’t we enjoy the time you were here, even if it was on morning? How I did laugh af- ter you went away. Grace: Did you enjoy the water- melons you and Hopeful ate last fall? Was sorry I couldn’t be at the “party” last Wednesday. 1 did almost start, even at the last minute. 3 Theoda: Suppose you are attending young chicks now. Hew I should like to call on you. Don't be siurprised to see me anvtime. I want to talk over a few things concerning a few of our writers. I think you can enlighten me on seme things, 5 Aunty: Supposs you-had a fine feet and a loud krock at the front door. “What's up now?” said Jane Ann, as Nat started for the door: As soon as Nat opened the door and sald “How do you do!” to his surprise there stood the Editor Great- Grandma, all bundled up warm in furs. ‘For the land sake! Jane Ann, do come here quick!” exclaimed Nat. “Well, for goodness sake! come in. Welcome to the Editor and all! said Jane Ann. = Just then Papa’s Boy threw his arms around Nat's neck and said: “You are the dearest man I know! Nat never heard all he said, for he had fainted. A little cold water soon brought him too; and as -all Social Corner members were present the kitchen table was soon filled up high with boxes and bags and baskets. ‘When wraps were laid aside and all were sitting in double rows arpund the large living room, Old Sol, a merry old soul, said: “Let us do something! “Spin the pan!” said Wild West, and as he called No. 8, Girlle cdught it just in time to prevent paying the for- feit.

Here are a few hints and recipes: Baked potatoes are more nourishing than boiled ones, and when in a hurry you want some and your oven isn't hot enough, just put your potatoes on a plece of asbestos paper on top of your range and cover them over tight- Iy with a pan and they will bake in anywhere from one-half hour to forty- five minutes. T those who have a canary, did you ever try to grow grass seed for them When cleaning the cage, just drop the contents of the bottom of the cage into a pan or dish of soll and you will always have grass to feed your bird. Copying pad for taking transfers of writing: White gelatine four ounces, water eight ounces, glycering eight ounces, gum dextrine two ounces. Al- ways use these same proportions for any amount. Melt the gelatine in the water at a gentle heat, add to it the glycerine, in which the gum dextrine has been thoroughly incorporated. Now stir all together, until thoroughly | mixed, and then pour into pans of the desired size, to (he depth of one-halt nch. Recipe for Ink to be used: Violet analine forty grains, gum arabic twelve grains, alcohol one-fourth ounce, water one-half ounce; dissolve the gum in the water and alcohol, then add the analine. Shake In a bottle from time to time until the analine is dissolved. To Work Copying Pad: Write with the ink on any good paper, press writ- ten surface on the pad, and allow it to remain two minutes; then take off the writing will remain, from wnich impressions may be taken by |laying on plain paper and smoothing Wwith the hand. As soon as the last impression is taken be sure and wash off with a wet sponge. Pencil Writing, to fix: Pencil writ- ing may be fixed almost as indelible as ink by passing the molstened tongue over it. Eyen breathing over the lineg after writing will render them less li- able to erasure. Brushing the writ- ing or a drawing with skim milk will also act in the same manner. I will now give you A Sure Cure for Smailpox. I have taken M and know. It is a pleasant drink: One ounce cream of tartar dissolved in a pint of boiling water; to be drunk when cold, at intervals. Tt can be taken at any time and is a preven- tative as well as a curative. Drink as much at a time as desired. In my case it was taken as a pre- ventative. BIDDY, COLD WEATHER HINTS. Editor Social Corner and Sisters: The keeping of just enough fire to cook and keep from freezing to save fuel is a most expensive economy (besides the expense from colds and often se- rious sickness that results), as it takes much more fuel to warm a cold room than it does to keep the same room warm. If wood is burned have good coals at bedtime and one large round stick will keep the stove and kettle warm all night and be a decided help in get- ting an early breakfast these cold mornings, Cold rooms may be healthy to sleep in, but they are not real comfortable for preparing for bed or making the morning toflet and not all of us can sleep with cold feet. It is a good plan to warm the bed in some way and be sure that the children’s bed is comfortable for them. Many people Delieve in cold rooms, open windows, etc., to keep the chil- dren healthy, but think warm rooms, warm baths and hot drinks are needed for their own comfort. If you insist on the children drinking cold water for their health when they come from school these cold davs, don’t prepare a hot drink for yourself and every adult who comes in . from the outside world. Don't send the children out in cold and storms when you will not go out vourself. Remember that even a 1 boy can suffer from cold; and ' that children have colds, pneumonia and other ills from exposure, as often as older people, ~Many deaths and much suffering could be traced back to unnecessary exposure in childhood to save a little money, or discomfort to an older per- jlunch by adding cracker {crumbs saved and rolled from pleces The merry party broke up at 12| | well and bake a nice brown. after | Editor and Friends:—Here 1!

FRANK. Moosup. A FEW GOOD THINGS TO KNOW. Dear Editor and Sisters of The So- clal Corner:—I am sending in a few 0dd economics for everyday people. I have five boys who go to school. They have about a mile to walk, and in every kind of weather. I found it was hard to keep up with shoes on account of the soies giving out. Now when I buy shoes for them I melt beef tallow and resin together and apply with a paint brush to the sole as long as they will soak in. The shoes last three times as long. “I have been making my bran bread, enough stiffened with white flour to roll out on a board and cut like cook- ies, baking them a half hour in a moderate oven. They taste well, eaten with butter. They keep perfectly in a covered earthen vessel for many weeks, thus saving the trouble of fre- quent bakings, which seem necessary with the bread and muffins. Sour milk or buttermilk is much better than sweet to make them—and sour cream is best of all!

Add salt, pepper, butter, and enough milk to moisten If you have some small pieces of cheese, not presentable for the table, grate them over the top. I have been asked what the dish was when prepared in this way and complimented on it, and named it “scalloped scraps. To make a checkerboard cake. Have two square shallow cake tins, then make a delicate cake with the ‘whites of three eggs and a chocolate cake with the yolks, then take a knife and make a narrow strip of the white cake and of the chocolate till full; if begun with white end with the brown; fill the tins. When taking out of the oven have any kind of filling or frosting put between and lay the dark strip on the white. When cut it looks like checkerboard. Try to save on coal. I have found out by years of experience not to fill the feeder of the self-heater; by add- ing only four or flve shovelfuls of coal up to the point where the feeder be- gins you will have more and better heat, and it holds out for a great many hours, acording to the weather. It will last three to four hours, and then a new supply of three to five shovelfuls of coal throughout the day. At night add six shovelfuls up to the feeder, open the damper a few minutes to al- low coal gas to escape, and then bank up overnight with ashes. In the morn- ing shake the grate lightly, scatter ashes, add some coal, and you will have & very warm room in ten min- utes. I have heated with one stove two and sometimes three rooms. It will save one-half on your coal bill. Try it. Profit by it, as good coal is ex- pensive. CORDELIA. USES FOR DRY BREA‘D. Dear Sisters of Social Corner:—Here are a few ways of using dry bread. Bread too dry for the table may be cut into slices, spread with butter and laid in an iron baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar and add half a pint of good milk and put on stove. Put on cover to keep in steam and watch to prevent burning When the bread has absorbed the milk it is done. To make milk toast, cut slices of dry bread and toast brown. Heat half pint of milk into which put a small lump of butter. Sweet cream and a little salt may be used instead of but- ter if preferred. Dip each slice of 9856 A SIMPLE, NEAT AND PRACTICAL DESIGN. toast into the heated milk and place S in dish. If any milk is left pour over the toast.

The Stale Bread may be steamed. We like it these cold mornings Another way is to put the dry pieces in oven to brown, then roll on baking or mixing board until nothing but crumbs remain. Dip pork chops into well beaten egg, roll in the crumbs and fry. These are only a few ways.in which old bread can be used. AN OBSERVER.

As a medicinal antiseptic for douches in treating catarrh, inflammation or ulceration of nose, throat, and that caused by feminine ills it has no equal. For ten years the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. has recommended Paxtine in their private correspondence twith women, which 'proves its superiority.
