A CHATTY LETTER FROM HOPE- FUL. Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: It has been a long time gince I have had a chat with you, but I have enjoyed very much read- ing your letters. Of late have had the pleasure of meeting with several of the sisters, Poll - Wintergreen: You dear old soul, how are you? Didn't we have 2 fine time? Don't forget thit broom drfll. 'When I think of it I have to Jaugh, and to think that it turned out Jjust as we wanted it to. Eliza._Jane: Am glad you found the flank fat to be a success. We use it in our house for nearly everything. How is the dear little girl? Hope she 15 much better. I certainly ‘spent a very pleasant week with you, and in a way was sorry when it came to an end, although I felt the need of get- ting home. .1 had a very urgent call while [ was away, but it could not be helped as 1 had all 1 could attend fo in another direction. Will send Fou the collar pattern later. Doctor: Here I am at home once more. My trip to Norwich was a most successful one_as 1 am feeling very much better. You certainly have some fine doctors in your city. Are you having much practice now? Oh! I want to tell you that the last trip brought the umbrella way home. Didn't I do well? Eliza Jane: Was_ disappointed not to find the recipe for molasses drop cookies—will look for it later. Aunty No, 1: Hope you will be able to take the trip you spoke of. Should Jike to be there, too. Was sorry mot to_be able to see you. Biddy: Where art thon? You dom't seem to cackle much of late. Suppose you are busy as usual Theoda: Wonder if you feel sure now who I am. Didn’t I tell you I knew you? Have you had any fried cabbage lately? Grace: 1 know you are very busy, but would like 5o much to hear from you once In a_while. How are the dear little ones? Should like to have seen you recently when I was 0 near. and yet so far.

Thousands of people keep coughing because unable to get the right reme- dy. Coughs are caused by inflamma. tion of throat and bronchial tubes. What you need is to soothe this in- flammation. Take Dr. King's New Discovery; it penetrates the delicate mucous lning, raises the phlegm, and quickly relieves the congested metn- branes. Get a 50c bottle from your druggist. “Dr. King's New Discovery quickly and completely stopped my cough,” writes J. R. Watts, Floydale, Texas.

These use o Dear Editor Social Corner: remedial recipes will be of many of your readers: 4 Linseed Tea—Put one tablespoon of linseed into a stew pan with one-haif pint of cold water; place stew pai over a moderate fire and.when -he water is quite warm pour it off and 2dd to linseed one-half pint of fresh cold water. Season with lemon and sugar. Slippery Eim Tc Put a_teaspoon’ of powdered slippei. elm info a tum- bler, pour cold waier upon it and season with lemon and sugar. Gruel—One large tablespoon of fae Indian or oatmeal mixed smooth with cold water and a saltspoon of salt; pour upon this a pint of boiling water,. turn into a sauce pan and toil’gen'ly. for nearly an hour. Stir it frequently and thin with boiling water if it be- comes too thick. When done and cool enough, serve with sugar and a little new milk or -cream. E Raisins boiled in gruel improve it. Gargle for Sors Throat—Make a gargle of one teaspoon of molasses, one of salt and one-half teaspoon of cay- enne pepper. Mix these with one tea- cup of hot water; when cool, add one- quarter cup of cider vinegar. For a Gathering—Soak the leaves of common dock plant in Vinegar; appiy warm as often as possible. Balsam Liniment—The fruit of the ‘balsam a~~le (momordica balsamina), picked when ripe and preserved in al- cohol, s very efficacious when applied to a fresh wound. Bind a piece upvn the wound or cut. In Syria the fruit is used for the same purpose as it is hers, but they cut it open when unripe and infuse it in: sweet oil exposed to the sun for some days, until the oil be- comes red, then apply it on cotton. Maple Leaf: How did you enjoy be- ing at the auctfon? Snowball: 1 heard you made some purchases at the auction. Do they go with the collection? If so, I must-call some day and hope you will show me what you have Have you-set the day yet? "Hope you will give me an in tation. Is there'any truth in the ru- mor? : Silent Partrier: You are wrons. Please guess again. Glad you enjoyed the outings, for you certainly needed it. Go again; it will do you good. CRIMSON RAMBLER. WAYS OF CURING MEAT—NO:, Dear Social Corner Sisters: You.will find the following waye of preserving meats satisfactory: Dutch Beef—Get a fine plece of round of beef; rub‘it well with one pound coarse sugar. Do this twice & day for three days, using the same sugar. When the sugar has thoroughly pene- trated the meat, wipe dry and salt with. the following mixture: Commin and bay ealt, of each four' ounces; saltpetre and salprunel, of each two ounces; black pepper and allspice, of each one ounce. Rub well and con- tinue to do €0 fof. a fortnight; then roll ‘the beef tight in a cloth, sew it up and it is ready for smoking. The smoking should be long enough to thoroughly and slowly dry ‘the besf, but not long enough for the covering to separate. . “This meat may be cut and boiled as wanted. It should be pressed .with, a woight till cold, This will keep two or three months after it is boiled, i£ 1t is rubbed all over with hot fat (lard or suet melted) and a layer of fat pit over.a fresh-cut surface: Mutton Hams—Coarse augar, bay salt and common salt, equal parts, aud to each pound of this mixture add of saltpetre ' and ' ‘salprunel one ounce each; of black pepper, allspice, juni- per berries and coriander seeds, all Dbruised. - half an ounce each. ~Dry them all before the fire and rub meat while hot. This is an excellent pickie for tongues. Smoke as any other ham, Mutton hams are usually fried of broiled in rashers or thin slices as you would pork ham. Worcestershire Sausages—These are made entirely of beef. .Choose & fine, juicy round ‘steak; chop It very fine, Allow two parts lean. one part fat and one part bread crumbs; season highly with ,pepper and salt. * Allow.to each pounl eight eage - leaves, dried aad Tubbed. fine, With _half a spoon uf majoram. Put them in bage and cook the same as any other sausage, Red Beef for Slicing Cold—The best part for this purpose is the thin flank. Take off the skinny inside and salt the meat for a week o ten days with the following mixture, rubbed in ani turned morning and_ night: Common salt, one pound: saltpetre and bay coarse brown pound. . Pound Annette enjoyed the husking bee and roll call very much; delighted to Some .more of the writers. ‘Waterford: Hlm’t !leeu from - your pen a long low_are all your chickens dox lng‘dnow?

Hope it will continue in same way. Here are’ a_couple of recipes I find are very good: Rice Mold—Wash one cup of Tice and let boil till done; then add 1 cup of sugar and some vanilla extract and let Boil 5 minutes; then pour into a ring mold and when it gets firm cut around the edge of pan and take out on a plate. Fill the center with sliced banana or an orange anfi serve with Wwhipped cream and sugar.

Washington Post. “‘jo » Mr, Clark had a good business, was a_splendid provider for his fam- ily. My, but they used to have some great spreads on Thanksgiving days! | They always made a point of invit ing in those less fortunate than them- selves, or who would be alone on that day, an@ what feasts.they gave them! My back used to fairly ache with the Zood things, piled upon it. ‘Then, all’at once, a .great change came over these people. I didn't no- tice it much at first, but when even the dull Chinese Platter asked me one day what was going on, I thought it was time to take motice. So I ob- served them closely at meals. Mrs. Clarke_pretended to eat, and tried to look cheerful; her husband scarcely touched his food: even the young folks acted strangely depressed. In a few days I noticed that Mary, the mald, no longer served in the dming- room, but that Mrs. Clark, worn and thin, 'prepared the meals herself. ~To add to these -mysteries, I no longer more my familiar weight of temnting desserts, and the meals on the, table looked inferior in every way. _One day Mrs. Clarke came to one of my deep drawers, and with tears in her eyes, took out the boxes of handsome spoons. She wrapped them up care- fully, and soon after I heard her go out of the house. . What could _it all mean? It .was getting to be Thanksgiving time, too. 1 was curlous to see If even that day would have no power to cheer up my disheartened family. The night before the annual feast T caught some scraps of conversation at the table which proved beyond doubt the truth of the dreadful fears that had been gathering in my breast. Mr. Pierce had failed! About everything was lost. I heard him say that he feared even the house would have. to be _sold. The next day dewned cold and clear, regulation Thanksgiving weather without, the darkest, dreariest of weather within. Breakfast was eaten almost jn silence; lunch passed off in but little better style. The young folks: went off in the afternoon to for- get their. troubles on the ice. It was apnroaching six o'clock—the time for the former great spreads. What a looking table for Thanksgiv- ing! 1 could see that some of the old tea pots on the shelf actually turned up their noses at the appearance of that board- I felt far differently. I alwavs was of a sympathetic makeu, No sumptuous lord for me to-nigh 1 was as empty as the widow's cup- board. Nothing but cold meat and a few dishes of vegetables on the table; no places for guests; no preparations for jollity; one thing only in plenty, and ‘that was, Gloom. Mr. and Mrs. Clark took their ac- customed places. John ans Alice fin- ally came in, apparently in the better spirits for their exercise. Then I heard a sharp ring at the doorbell John went, and I heard some worde spoken at-the door. Soon he came into the dining-room, bringing a neat- looking basket, addressed to Mr. John Clark, Sr. “Whas this?” asked his father. “Don’t' know. The messenger said it was to come here; thats all I could find out. You can imagine I was some curi- ous! But it didn't take long to undo that basket. In it was a fine turkey, all roasted, bearing this message on a card tied round its meck,.“Please put me in the oven a few minutes.” I judge it didn't take long to com- ply ‘with the bird’s reouest, for al- most before I knew it that same fine turkey was reposing in front of Mr. Clarke. with the carving-knife begin- ning its work on it. q “What's _the. matter, John?

A THANKSGIVING INCIDENT. My friend and I were sitting com- fortably by her lEnl kitchen stove enjoying the the bright fire, for it was cold and windy out of doors, and discussing the coming festival vmuel fensting upgu. the dentents 4f.- & freshly popped pan of corn. We had each told of the menus which we had already planned, and exchanged recipes and our ideas of the best. ways to prepare and serve the various dishes, and also spoken of the| Doy guests expected. Then our talk turned to the Thanks- siving days of our childhcod and many and varifed were the incidents which came to our minds as’we’ thought of the old days. “Did T ever tell you,” I asked her, “of the Thanksgiving we care near havine hash for dinner?” “I think not,” she replied laughirg. “But anyway. that might not be such 2 great hardship. Hash, if it's good and plenty is not to be despised.” . T agree with you there,” I said, “but this wasn't the regular hash, = - “We had the usual old-fashioned dinner planned and a number of guests invited to eat it. Our family, of course, wasn't small, and taking it altogether we had to extend our dining table to its utmost length to accommodate us all, ‘Everything went along nicely. The table was all set, everything was cook- ed: the turkey, beautifully browned, was put on its platter and graced the center of the table, and was flanked by a bowl of its deliclous gravy. Bread, butter. ples, cake, pickles, cranberry Jelly ‘and vezetables of various. kinds. Were all on the table. and mother was just taking up the potatoes. Of course, we children were standing around, snifing the savory odors, and getting under foot generally, but now evervihing was ready and we were pre- paring to take our places, when, crasl h~ table parted in the middle, and down it went towards the floor. Ev- erything took a toboggan slide to the center of the table. “You may imagine what a wall went up from us younger ones when we saw our much anticipated dinner in such a_ jumble. But fortunately the cloth didn’t break, if the table did, and be- vond. being somewhat mixed, no great harm was done. ? “The gravy was spilled, of course, but there was plenty more in the ket- tle. The milk pitcher was the only dish broken, but there were more pit- chérs. and thete was more milk i the pantry. “Everybody came to the rescue and thines were picked up and straighten- ed out in a jiffy; the table was re- peired. another cloth spread, and be- fore long our unfortunate dinner was once gore on the table, and I am sure it tasted just as good as though no ac- cident hiw! befallen it. But what a laugh we had over it. both that day and for a long time after.” “-. “T should think you might have had,” said my friend. “Ill try fo profit by our experience and see that my t ble is well braced before I set it for my Thanksgiving guests, It may be fun- ny, but I have no wish to repeat it. Be- sides, it might have a different and perhaps a worse ending.” “Forewarned is forearmed, eh?’ said 1. “Well, my table has a fifth leg in the center. So I think there is no dan- zer of anything like it happening to me this year.” MIGNON’S OPINION. Dear Cornerites: What lovely weath- er. I spend every minute I can spare out in the open and am gaining in health and strength by so doing. What's what? What is the use of let- ting Grandpa Parker spread discord among The Corner writers! While he is counting the what's he is mnot watching the girls with narrow skirts getting aboard the trolley cars. Lucy Acorn: I did have the blues that_day, but after reading your Jet- ter I'feit very much ashamed of my- self. I think you are the bravest little woman I know of, with your hands and heart full of ‘trouble and yet keeping £o cheerful. 1 am busy cleaning house and trying to do a lit- tle dressmaking, but when I am through, think I will take a drive out. your way. I have a pretty littlo driv, ing horse that is not afraid of any- thing, not even autos. J. E. T.. You will have to guess egain. Once upon a time I stopped at your place and you gave me a glass of nice creamy milk. Black Pansy: I quite agree with you, 1 think there is many a hard working housewife who would be more con- tented and happier if she had o cer- tain amourit of money, even if it had to be a small one. that she could use as she pleased; if married life is a partnership, I don’t' see why the hus- band should be the whole partnership and handle all the monmey. after the living expenses are paid, and. then he wonders why his wife is discontented and ‘not quite ‘as affectionate as she was when they were first married. Steamed Apples—If vou haven't a hot oven, and want baked apples, try this way: Prepare the same as for baking, put in a pan with a little water, sprinkle with sugar, cover tight and cook on top of stove. The apples will be done in a few minutes, and quite as good as if baked. MIGNON. REFLECTIONS FROM DOTTIE. BEditor and Sisters of the Sociel Corner: When Saturday’s Bulletn comes I cannot do my work until 1 read it; and after reading it I can hardly keep from writing a few more thoughts. I rather like the idva of having so many sisters and brothers to write to, and I wonder if some of us don’t write through this Corner to more than they do_to blood relations? I don’t think I would if I had any. Bat I stand alone in the world as far as brothers and sisters are con- cerned by ties of blood. But I knw| each man is my brother and each w my sister through this wido world, and that each day I live I must do something to uplift my brother and sister if I wish to grow and find com- | fort in those everlasti Heavenly . all bad thoughts and think only good t> all mankind. You can make yourself positive that God is within you, and no mortal thought can cause you harm. Also, you can ask what you want in faith believing and obtain it, for God is love and keeps His promises. I should be pleased to hear from some of the older writers again. I do enjoy Btta Barber's short talks very much. Has' Lucinda returned from Volun- town yet? I hope she is not lost in the woods. Montville: ' Have you a new namse, and do you love flowers as much as ever? Would liked to have had the Sistars seen the beautiful scenery: from onr house this fall.

Deay Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: I thought I was a back number until I answered my name at the Husking Bee. I enjoyed the gathering and was glad so many were present. 1 imagine a few had to change thelr voices several times. When 1 see a new name I just wonder if—, I have enjoyed these lovely fall days so much. I think the fall coloring of - foliage was beautiful and as we had_no rain we were allowed to enjoy its beauty longer. I feel very sorry there has been a break in our circle caused by death. I have been grieved to read of so many deaths this fall of people I have met ‘and enjoyed their company. November always means a very hard month to get through. C. B.

It gave relief at once. Wil try and send some heipful hints next time. WILD FLOWER. AN EXCELLENT FROSTING RECIPE Dear Sisters and Brothers, too: As J. E.
