THE SOCIAL CORNER CAKE, Dear Editor and Sisters: The ‘time gets away with me so’fast I hardly have time to write, Echoes from the picnic are very gratifying, and I thank all who helped in any way, especially Biddy for her scratching, Am glad there are more pleasures to look forward to. Aunt -Hester certainly deserves first honors for the long distance trip to meet with us, and 1 hope she felt well paig for the effort. We were glad to see her and hdpe she can meet with us again. We were delighted to meet so many new faces: I think it did us all good, and will make us more enthusiastic for .the success of The Corner. For those who are watching for the lre(‘ii;e of the Social Corner cake, here t SociafCorner Cake—One cup of su- gar sifted,- creamed with one-fourth cup of Butter. one_cup milk, one cup flour, one-half cup cornstarch and two teaspoons of baking powder sifted twice; last fold in beaten whites of two eggs; flavor.

FROM J. A. K. and it surely started in well on that line, but I hope the saying will not prove true this time. Sister Read: ,Dld‘you receive the card I sent you? I have some very nice cake recipes I sending in this week: % Quick Wedding Cake—One egg, one cup butter, one and a quarter cups sugar, three-quarters cup milk, one- quarter teaspoon saleratus, two and a half cups flour, spice and fruit. Pork Cake—One cup of chopped fat pork, one cup chopped raisins, one cup molasses, one cup milk, one teaspoon soda, one of salt, four cups fiour and spice. Date Cake—One cup sugar, one-half cup butter, one egg, one cup water, ons cup of dates, stone and cut in small pieces, one cup raisins chopped, two and one-half cups fiour, one and one- half teaspoons of baking powder. Graham Gems—One egg, one-huf cup sugar, one cup milk, one heaplas cup graham flour, ‘one scant cup of wheat flour, two teaspoons of baking powder and salt. : Gingerbread—To one cup of warmed molasses add one-half cup lard, one beaten egg. one tcaspoon of soda dis- solved in ohe-half cup of milk, one heaping teaspoon of ginger. For Soft Gingerbread—Two #nd one- quarter cups flour. For Raisin Gingerbread — Substitute spice in place of ginger and add rais- ins. If Card Gingerbread is desired, add flour enough to make the dough just stiff enough to roll out, the softer the better. Bake in a quicl{ oven. Delicious Cake—Two eggs, one cul sugar, one-half cup butter, one-half cup milk, one and one-haif cups flour, one and one-teaspoons baking powder. I hope some of the Sisters will try the above recipes and the recipe I seat in in March for Coffee Mousse. It is s> much nicer than ice cream and you flavor with vanilla or maple flavor. The .cake was flavored with banana. All summer I have been using bak- ing powder with sour milk and cream by adding a third or half teaspoon of saleratus and the result has been ex- cellent, To relieve prickly heat use water in which powdered borax has been dis- | solved.. One teaspoonful to a basin of water. To Remove Tan—Equal parts of benzoin and’ cologhe water. While the face is damp from washing rub on_lightly with a soft cloth and wash off. "Cucumber juice is cooling and beneficlal for sunburn and tan. Lemon juice and borax are good tan and freckle removers: also a table- spoonful of freshly grated horseradish in a cup of sour milk: let it stand twelve hours, then strain and apply often, Ancther remedy is to pour boiling water on elder flowers; let it stand in the sun for a day, strain and bathe the face frequently. The use of oatmeal for whitening and softening the skin is well known. This preparation is said not to be- come sour. Soak a uart of oatmeal over night in two quarts of water; in the morning stir it well and stir it fre- quently during the forenoon. Then strain "through a cloth and Jet it rest until night. Popr off the water and to the sediment ifi the bottom add enough bay rum to make as thick as cream. THEODA. SEASONABLE TESTED RECIPES.

Dear Social Cornerites: Here am I— alone. Not like the prophet Elijah un- der the juniper and by the brook| Cherith, but beneath the oaks and cy the waters of the Willimantic. I must tell you that Wandering Jew took a notion to wander off to Ocean Grove with friends—extending an in- vitation to Azalea and mother and Mazine Lover to join them. So they left me, as 1 did not accept the kind wish of Wandering Jew to accompany them. Biddy: It does need money; but I think we ought to enjoy life. How- ever, it was too short a stay at the shore for the long journey. So thought. I suppose most of the Sisters will attend Aunt”Abby’s. You may be pret- ty sure Azalea with mother and Maine Lover will be ther also Wandering , if she stands y’'s outing alil Vo doubt Theoda will be there. Can’t_get along without her kind help and Biddy to keep things buzzing. Maybe she will give another violin} solo.

Well, if| litheness of limb is an indication, I think many of us are, as was proven in climbing the hill to the cottage inj South Coventry.

Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: The indications were that they would have a bright and clear day for Aunty's lawn party. No doubt several of us envy you who live within a reason- able distance and are able to attend. We often hear young girls remark, “Oh, I shall choose some work in the city. I don’t wish to live in the coun- try when I am older, for it is too monotonous.” Many women prefer the city for this reason, and because the work is incessant and not interesting. It is true that the constant and un- ending round of daily duties, one un- eventful day day following another and a lack of congenial companions, tend to make one’s life monotonous and is injuriohs to ome’s spirit and heaith, First, we should make work easier by checking ourselves from working incessantly and continuously for héurs on a stretch, and from infringing on the hours which should be spent in aleep. Someone may remark,«“How can we do otherwise, when we can’t, even with driving and rushing, accomplish all we ought to do”:; while others will say it can be done for 1 have learned by experience that short periods of work interspersed with short periods of rest will produce better results than the same amount of strength and ener- gv expended continually. No matter how necessary it Is to accomplish a certain amount of work, stop before you are too wearied to do more. Cooking at times seems a wearlsome task because one makes the same things day after day; break away from this habit and try some new dishes: you will find the family will show their appreciation by heartily partaking of them, Try to make the dreaded task easier by finding some easier way of doing it, and thus that special duty will be- come more interesting. A new dress, rearranging the fur- niture, and occasionally buying a new piece, entertaining guests and relating pleasant incidents or an amusing story when all are collected together will make one’s day eventful and in- teresting. Spare time can be spent in va- rious ways. Some of it should be spent in simply resting by letting ev- ery muscle relax; then other time should be spent in reading to keep ourselves in touch with the current events of the day, and also to be fami- liar with the best books of fiction; then time should be spent in corre- sponding with absent friend8 and rel- atives so that the arrival of the mail man will be of interest to us. A few hours each week should be spent in calling on the neighbors, taking pleas- ant walks and drives. We will find these various ways of occupying our time will furnish material to think about while one is working; and also ve us something to talk about at meal time, or when the day's work is done. The housewife will find time thus Biddy: Do save that tablecloth for spent, even though she is busy. will our annual picnic next year. Wander- ing Jew certainly is great on repair- ing.

Boil one pint of vinegar, when boiling paur about half over the mus- then add tirring the stead of onions. Lettuce and Cream Sandwiches—Cut the crusts from thin slices of brear and spread each slice with cream cheese. Have ready crisp lettuce leaves; dip each one in a good French dressing and lay it between the slices of bread. With a sharp pair of sc-s- sors trim off any bits of the lettuce leaf that may project. Keep in the icebox until wanted. Bacon and Lettuce Sandwich—Cut the crust from thin slices of bread: toast on ohe side and keep warm. Fry thin slices of bacon until crisp. ow butter the soft side of the bread, lay on a lettuce leaf and a few slices of the bacon between. Hot Sandwich—A delicious hot sand- wich to serve for a Sunday night lunch or indeed any tinie, with a crisp salad, is the following: Grate good, well fla- vored cheese, add cream, seasoning of salt and pepper arM spread it on slices of buttered bread. Put the slices to- gether and fry or saute in a little hot better until well browned on both sides. Serve hot with tea or cocoa. These are exceptionally nice for those who like cheese. Chicken and Mushroom Sandwiches: Chop equal parts of chicken and freshly cook or canned button mush- rooms quite fine, with mayonnaise and put between thin lightly buttered slices of bread. Cheese Ribbon Sandwich: Chop and rub to a paste two hard boiled eggs, add a little melted butter, a few drops each of onion juice and vinegar, salt and pepper.

Cork securely and shake before using. Keep the bottle out of reach of ch' dren. In fact, this suggestion mAay well be made in regard to every rem- edy containing ingredients of a strong or pungent nature. Wormwood Liniment, consisting of one ounce of wormwood steeped in a pint of alcohol, is an old and favorite remedy for sprains and bruises. Turpentine Liniment is another home made and excellent application for rhe lameness, etc. Mix one- half pint of turpentine and cider vine- gar with one-fourth pint of ammoni. bottle securel when ready to apply. pour a littlé of the mixture into a ves- sel, add the beaten yolk of an egg and mix well. May Apple Liniment is made by putting a handful of May apple blos- soms into a wide mouthed bottle and half filling the same with boiling wa- ter; let stand until cold and add al- cohol to fill the bottle. This liniment is better than arnica. A" Good Cough Syrup is made by steeping three tablespoons of. fl in sufficient water to make a half cup of clear filaxeed tea when strained. Add to this one cup of loaf sugar and the juice of three lemons, and cook until a clear, jelly-like syrup is ob- tained. An Excellent Food for Infants—Mix together three tablespoons of cream., two tablespoons of milk, ten table- spoons of cold water and three small teaspoons of sugar; cook 20 minutes in a double boller; give a half wine glass at a feeding. For Sprains, take the “green cheese” that grows in the yard, such as the German folks call “kesekraut,” place a handful of the branches in a pan, pour boiling water over them and let them stand to steep a few minutes; then wat a cloth or sponge and let the water run over the sprain as hot as can be borne, repeating as often as possible. To Prevent Proud Flesh forming in a wound, sprinkle with powdered burnt alum. Place a piece of alum on the stove and let it bubble until it becomes perfectly white and dry; then pulverize it. Horse Cheéstnuts, dried and powder- ed, are excellent for cold in the head. Use as snuff. Rub a Burn with lard and sprinkle with salt. This treatment relieves the pain and prevents blistering. For Croup, take on teaspoon of ep~ som salts, one-half teaspoon of com- mon baking soda, and one-fourth tei- spoon of powdered alu mix thor- oughly, and keep in a tightly corked, correctly labeled bottle. When the child has an attack of this dreaded malady, dissolve one teaspoon of this mixture in ten teaspoons of water, giving one teaspoon of the solution ev ery five or ten minutes, as the urgency of the case may demand. If directions are followed, and the solution is pre- pared freshly each time, the child will surely be relieved. - Butter slight- wheat with stices with egg paste. and brown bread thus spread in al- ternate layers, and press the remain- With a sharp knife cut six sandwiches.

In a few months’ time they had almost entirely outgrown the need for break- ing off their sins by meditating. | Al this time I was meditating, too. I gained as much'as the children did, in self control; and we all learned to control ourselves in the first'stages of a difficulty, instead of keeping on until we had Jost command over ourselves.
