In fact, I believe in imaginative storfes being told to children both to encourage the trait and to enable them firm in the saucer, put it a cold place, remove from fire (and seal, as. usual, when cold), dipping it with care into glasses, soon after taking from the fire.

GOOD THINGS TO EAT. e Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: What would life be without good things to eat? I send a few recipes which may in- terest some of you: Peanut Butter Scones: ' Mix togeth- er 2 cups of flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 1-2 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Work n with the tips of fingers 1 tablespoon of lard and 4 tablespoons of peanut but- ter. Moisten to a soft dough, using 2 slightly beaten eggs and about 1-2 cup of milk. Take on to a floured board, beat and roll out, cut in shape, brush’ tops with white of egg (a little saved from those used in mixing). Sprinkle with sugar and bake from twelve to fifteen minutes in a moderate oven. Checkerboard Caka: Two-layer cup cakes are made—one dark with choco- late, the other white. They are cut into thick slices and the slices into blocks, which are fitted in alterhate dark and light “checkers. Salmon Wiggle: Make a white sauce using & pint of milk, four level tablespoons of flour and three of but- ter. Stir in one half can of salmon, picked in bits, and a cup of peas. Season to taste and serve on, toast. Scallops of Halibut These are some- times called “mock scallops.” Cut hal- ibut slices into pieces the sig> of a scallop, season with salt and pepper: dip in beaten egg, roil in sifted. dried breadcrumbs and ftry three minutes in decp fat. Drain and serve on a folded napkin with hot mayonaise. White Frosting: Two tablespoons of sweet milk, butter size of a wal- nut, one cup of pulverized sugar, half TION. Editor Social Corner:—Here are a few economical recipes the Sisters ought to find usefu! Mock Mince Pie—Four crackers, rolled fine, one cup chopped raisins, one cup sugar, one cup molasses, two cups boiling water. one-half cup melt-| ed butter, one-half cup vinegar, one teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoon cloves, two teaspoons cinnamon, one nutmeg.

A GOSSIPY LETTER FROM L. K. K.| Dear Social Corner Friends: few helpe. Were you ever without eggs and wanted to make a cake? One can be made almost as good by using a little extra milk in place of the eggs. Or if you have eggs, but no milk yse water, and a little more shortening. Waler will also take the place of milk in custard pie. Use the same amount of water as you would of milk. Are your chickens ever troubled with diarrhoea? Try giving them a drop of olive oil once a day, when you first notice them. A little sulphur on a pilece of soaked bread is a good pre- vention of liver trouble in turkeys. Don’t feed but twice a week and on a’ pleasant day. WILD GERANIUM. OMELETS AND A GOOD SALAD. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ers:—Here, are a few recipes which think worth trying: Tomato Omelet.—Boil two medium- sized tomatoes a few minutes and place them on an omelet just before it is folded.

Cabbage is useful for drawing and cleansing a gathered finger or poisoned hand. Take a cabbage leaf, roll it out with a bottle until the juice comes and tie it on the affected part. When buying tea, before using it spread it on a sheet of paper and place it in a warm but not too hot oven, from ten to fifteen minutes. By doing this the tea will be made to go much farther, and the flavor will be greatly improved. .

To remove the smell of fish or cab- bage from a saucepan, burn a piece of brown paper on the fire and turn the saucepan down over the burning T.

Editor Social Corner and Sisters:— Here are several domestic suggestions which may be of use to some one in ‘The Corner: Mince Lamb—3Mince the lamb not too fine, add salt, pepper, a drop or so of onion juice. Put on the spider w! a teaspoon of butter, teaspoon flour, milk enough to moisten. Cook only a few minutes. Serve on slices of buttered toast. Sardine Sandwiches.—Cut thin slices of bread. Remove the sardines care- fully from the box, split them open and take out the bomes, cut off the heads and tails. Place halves of the sardines over one-half the slices of bread, squeeze lemon juice over them and press together. . Cut in long nar- Tow pieces. If you happen to have it add a ¢érisp leaf of lettuce to the sandwich. Ingenious Twine Holder—The ordin- ary tin funnel makes a handy device for holding a ball of twine. Place the twine in the funnel and draw the end through the small hole. Then hang in a convenient place in the kitchen and it will save you many steps. New Needle Book—Never .keep needles in a needle book with the “leaves” made of flannel. The dress- ing in the woolen cloth is very apt to rust them. Make fhe “leaves” of your needle books of small pieces of chamois skin or bits of kid cut from your cast- oft gloves. It is best tb have a.small emery bag attached to the book or case in which your needles are kept in case one of them becomes rusted it can be cleaned by passing it through the emery several timee. DOROTHY. AUNTY’S LAWN PARTY. Dear Editor and Sisters:—We have had our first picnic of the season, and I feel it was a grand success; quite a few out. : One sister who came from Mystic, said it well paid her for coming, as she had the best time of her life. I rode down in the trolley with some of the sisters, and I think they proved they had a good time. They seem to be a jolly good crowd. The yellow ribbon worn showed they all approve of the bow as an emblem. Our hostess deserves a vote of thanks for her hard labor to make it pleasant and agreeable for us all.

Was disappointed that the Editor was not present. Hope I shall be able to give you all as nice a time when you come to my home, August 19th. I shall certainly try my best to make it pleasant for all. I join with Crimson Rambler in wishing the So- cial Corner a long and prosperous life. Sally Sycamore: Am glad you had such a pleasant time at the lake and arrived home safely.
