Dear Friends socialities, Snowball; My sweet peas are @o- ing fine; they are not in bloom vet, as they were planted late owing to a cold, wet spring, We are in receipt of a long and interesting letter from Great Grand- ma, the dear soul.

What has become of Sweet Sixteen? Has she gone out of her teens and ttled down to married life? . A long string of autos passed by here today. I did not see Papa’s Boy in the crowd.

Editor Social Corner:—The open air | is a good place for potted plants in the summer time, and since most of them are winter blossomers it is well to let them rest in the shade most of the time There is quite a nack in taking care | of pot plants and getting a succession of bloom. They may get lousy, the soll may become infested by an enem: or they may become pot bound. Cover with a paper bag and smoke with tobacco to kill the lice; a bath of lime water for the soil will make the worm come up to the surface; they are pot bound after heavy blooming and need fresh, rich soil in a larger pot. All kinds of pot plants should be given out of door ireatment.in sum- mer, and ferns or cactus are no ex- ception. When a fern acts sickly, loses or-and to show weak fronds some | of which become white or cream color, it needs repotting in leaf mold which may be obtained in the woods beneath | the trees. An artificial soll may be made of rotten turf and an admixture of rich loam and sand, and it is rather beneficlal to ferns and cacti to put a | little broken charcoal in the bottom of the pots.

THE SENTIMENTS OF PEGGY ANN Dear Sisters of the Soclal-Corner:— think my last letter written neafly six wee! ago, must have been either lost or pigeon-holed.

This clearin~ developing. taming, removing of stumps, changing worm o rail fences for woven wire, building and then tearing down log houses to of today, has cost many sacrifices and the utilization of much rough food and left-overs you may never have to eat. The many choice recipes I read in The Bulletin, are largeiy for what we and beautify the siin, scalp, hair and hands; but assists in preventing inflammation, frrk- tation and clogging of the Dores, the common used to consider bevond our means. Appetizing as well as good food is necessary to keep alive the human or- ganism, as we are animals and must rely on the plant for the elements that Dame Nature stores in her warehouse —the soil. But there is another side to the food question: It costs money to hire others to work for you, be they plants of animals. For the sake of the future we must do without and be careful not to waste. Instead of asking the plant or animal to provide new ma- terial for our bodies we must utilize the left overs. The great packing companies at Chi- | cago do not make the bulk of their income from what is generally sup- posed. Learned men are hired by the vear to find new ways for utilizing the by-products. It is the sales of the common wastes that pays. It is the | use of what many women throw away that helped to change this country of heavy timber into beautiful, and modern dairy farms. A knowledge of the utilization of left-overs is a necessary part of the education of every home-keeper. Why not make a special effort to bring the Connecticut knowledge in this line, into the Social Corner? OLD MA’AM WILSON. A WORD FROM SISTER READY.
