GMNDMA; Dear Editor and Friends: Some on has written “Thonghts are things en= dowed with being, breath, and wings, we send them forth to fill the world with good results or ill” I enjoy the letters and receive much benefit from them. The thoughts and motives of The Social Corner writers all tend to acts of kindness, and good will, creating usefulness with benefit, profit and favor to each other. To cultivate loveliness and affection, is a valuable part of life’s business, and the stepping stones to God in cre- ating a happy home. ‘To me duty seems like a power that rises with me at morn, and goes to bed with me at night. Let us keep our thoughts a flying in The Social Corner, and may they render much .good to those who would be advan- tageously benefited.

Rural Delivery: Your story of the lawn party was good. As there was no public conveyance to take me to Aunt kind wishes; algo for cards which I received. I know I should be very unhappy xere it not for our dear Social Cor- ner. What a soldier our dear Sister Mar- ried and Happy would make; and what a brave little woman she is? I loften think when I complain that I am wicked to do so, for when one comes to think how much worse off othersware, it does really make me ashamed. : ‘While I have not written to The Corner I have not forgotten even one of you, even Nat with his rheumatism, which 1 trust is ever so much better.

Dear Editor of the Social Corner: Flerewith I seng a few tested jelly recipes: Coffeo Jelly—One-half box Cox’s gelatine, soaked 1 hour in 1-2 cup cold. coftee; add 1 quart strong coffee and 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool in a crown mould, Jetting it stand on ice over night if possible. Turn on a large platter and heap . whipped cream in the center as high as pos- sible. The cream is often flavored with kummel or other cordial. Currant Jelly—Five pints currant juice, 2 pints water, boil five minutes: after-it begins to boil, skim well add 1 lb, suear to each pint (counting water also); boil three minutes. Do not cook more than this amount at once. I _ Orange Marmalade—Six oranges, emo s 1 grape fruit; wash the 1ruit, <liced very thin, first cutting in quar- ters to remove the seed. To each nound of sliced fruit add 3 pints of cold water; let this stand 24 hours. then boil- 2 hours or until peel is per- Ifectly tender. Let stand until next day. To each pint of boiled fruit add 1 pint of granulated sugar; boil to- gether for two hours, or until it jel- lies. This rule makes twenty glasses. Pineapple Jelly—Take the pineapple peeling. eve and cores, and put it on in a kettle to boil; have enough water to cover it pretty well. and then boil it ti'l it is soft; put it into a jelly bag to drain four bowls pineapple juice ang 2 bowls granulated sugar. I saw in The Bulletin one of the . sisters warted the recive for making. Elderberry Wine—Mix together a quart of eiderberry juice, a quart of warm water, and a half pint of brown sugar. Fill pint bottle with the liquid and stand them in a bottle. FEach morning and evening refill the bottle level full with some of the liquid reserved for the purpose. After about a week fermentation ceases and foam- ing begins after 'a few days more; seal the wine in the bottle. Patience: Yes, I would like some of your dahlias this fall and if you would like some house ,plants write and let me know. ELLA OF CANTERBURY. ‘WAYS TO COOK MACARON(.

For one’ thing, I and my family have moved into a new home, and another thing is the canmning of fruit, vegetables, etc. 4 greater part of the Sisters are canning, also. Aunt Abby and Aunty No. 1: T was very much disappointed at not being able to attend your lawn partles. I hope you had a large gathering. Married and Happy: I am very glad to hear you are gaining in health. Busybody and Chatterbox: Did you receive the card.I sent you Hope to meet you and the other Sisters at the fair next week. Balsam Fir: Am very sorry to hear you have been sick. I will write you a2 letter before long. | Am sending a few good ways of serving sweet potatoes: Glazed Sweet Potatoes: Boil the sweet potatoes till done, but not soft; remove the skins and cut the potatoes into strips about two inches wide and three or four :nches’ lon: moister with cream, sprinkle with sugar, dot! over with butter and bake in a shallow bread pan without letting the pieces touch.. Serve with roast meat Southern Pudding—Into two cups of mashed potatoes beat the yolks of four eggs, one quart of milk, half a cup of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon; then stir in the stiffiy beaten whites of the eggs, turn into a well buttered baking dish and bake. Serve with any cauce preferred. Swaet Potato and Nut Croquettes— Belke several swe€t potatoes and as soon as they are soft break open, scrape out the pulp, and pass through a ricer or a colander. To each pint of rulp add one teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of butter, one beaten egg, three tablespoons of blanched almonds chopped fine, and hot, cream to make of a consistency to handle. Form' into croquettes, dip into egg and bread crumbs and fry a golden brown in deep fat. Serve hot. , Potato Coke—One scant cup short- ening creamed with two cups eugar, four large tablespoons ground choco- late, four egzs well beaten,.one tea- spoon cinnzmon, cloves end nutmeg hot mashed potatoes, one-half cup o sweet milk, two cups sifted flour, two rounded teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon of vanil la, one cup chopped nut meats. Make into two loaves and bake in a slow oven for one hour. PEGGY ANNE. WINTER EVENING OCCUPATIONS. Dear Social Corner_Sisters: Having a little time to spare, I will write The Corner. It seems every recipe nice to eat has been sent on by one Sister or another. Some of them are good enough to be written more than once. I often make summer mince ples hy taking a little left-over steak or pot- ted beef cut fine and twice as much apple and spice to taste; sweeten with sugar quite sweet. ‘We shall soon have long evenings to do a little fancy work. There will be a call for it at our church and club sales. I wonder how many Sisters like to stencil curtains and sofa pillows, etc.? Should like to talk with any Sister in- terested. I have eeveral nice patterns of running vines, etc, also like to crochet the little narrow lace; can catch it up when I have a few spare moments. T have several nice patterns in knit- ting or crocheting I should be glad to give any of the Social Corner Sisters. Another thing I enjoy in the long winter cvenings is being a member of a book club with ane of the latest books once in-two weeks.. I wonder how many of us have book clubs in their neighborhood? Farmer: Are you still farming, or are you thinking of getting up a baked bean supper? Maybe a harvest sup- per? Aunt Hester: How I should enjoy looking over your house plants which will fill those bow windows of ‘yours this winter. Wonder if I have any that you would like? Do I hear anyone saying: I guess I know no Who is Who Hope to see you all at the Norwich fair. ANNETTE. HOUSEHOLD HELPS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I wish to come in, sisters, and try to pay back a little for all the goog I have gained from the Social Corner. First here is a bit of verse that often comes to mind when I am troubled or despondent. It soon scatters the clouds: “What is the use of repining? For where there’s a will there’s a way - Tomorrow the sun may be shining— Although it looks cloudy today.” I am interested in the talks about children, as I have four of my own, their ages ranging frem fourteen months to thirteen years, and I earn- | estly desire to bring them up in the | way they should, go.

Let me give a few hints for the household: Do not forget, peppermint is neces- sary in the home as a remedy for neuralgia, fevered breast and for the baby troubled with colic. A little in hot water, sweetened, wi'l give rellef in even an obstinate case of hiccoughs. A teaspoon of kerosene in the water von use to wash vour lamns and glassware gives a bright finish and makes them much casier to ary. A handy wall pocket is made from one-half yard of oil cloth; any pretty color; make the back or foundation as large as desired, then cut the pock- ets of the size and shape wanted; bind with cloth of a. contrasting or - har- monizing color and stitch to the foun- dation ‘with your machine. It Is use- ful and really attractive and may be used as a splasher above your kitchen sink. I made mine of green ofl cioth bound with red and my sister has one m~~e ~f white hovnd with blue.
