Dear Cornerites: A glad and pros- perous New Year to:you, one and all I have been wondering for 'some me past, if it would be too great a for Tne Bulletin Co, to ‘put into book-form, the . recipes, helps and remedies contriblited to thes Social Corner, sav in the last five years, with a sort of rough index, such'as Persis task used for her Simplex Scrap Book. I, for one, would gladly purchase such a book at .whatever price The Bulletin peopls considered fair, allow- ing a good profit for, their timé and trouble. Many of the “Little Helps” contrib- vied to the Corner have an almost sa- ered significance, to those who sent them; some have'been handed to gen- eration after generation; and most of them, call up some sweet memory- of the grandmother or mother who imyarted them to us when we “set up housekeeping.”™ Some have come from the Jmaiden aunt who was always in demand when sickness or a “rush of work” visited the house; somé were tried for a life time by the patient widowed mother who for years went.the rounds among the homes of married sons and daughters,” where her little helps added much to the sum-total of hu- man happiness. Such tested advisers were considered the court of final ap- peal on all gpestions relating to household science. The ink spot 'on Mary’s = pretty graduation drese, the oily. appesrance of fathers coat collar, the ache in little Tommy's teeth, .all disappeared before skilful ‘ministrations - of these ‘welcome visitors to the hotise. Today, as always, women need fo krow “of little ecoromles, simple rem- edies, ensily managed forms of.enter- tainment, and all the other trifles that make for heppiness in the.home. Will somie of ‘the sisters please write 2nd. say what they think of the plan. I do hope it will be ap- proved and carried out as 1 would value ‘such & book highly, as I have only about one years Social Corner pages. for my-scrap book, and kmow I have missed & great deal of interest- ing matter. - Best wiskes te all.
