To get the greatest amount of heat units from a gas range, the flame should not be turned any higher than will give a perfect blue flame. If the flame is yellowish red, you are wasting gas and getting a heat ‘that not only smokes and smudges your kitchen utensils, but decreases their longevity by _one-half. ‘The flame should be about one-half inch of clear blue, and after the article Yyou are cooking has come to a boiling point, reduce it to a point that will Just keep it boiling. This is equally true in the oven. Invariably the gas is turned too high for baking and the bread’or cake is burned.. This means waste of gas and a constant anxiety about the oven which would not be necessary .if gas were used at a less rapid flow, ; PANSY.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters;:—One and all, both great and small. If I am the last to express thanks for my good time at the picnic of June 16th, I hope I am not the least. How I did enjoy that day. I was tired, indeed, when I reached home, for am not used to such days, but I felt paid with the good time I had. The goodies tasted so nice and as for my better half, he enjoyed it very much, thought the crowd lively and says he is going to send a letter to tell Si what a good time he had, and not to let Mandy stop him from going to the next one. I think Samantha wrote a lovely letter about “The Lone Man.” Aunt. Hester: How -did you get home? Did your Hubby . meet you with his car, or.did. you have to go all the way, same as you came that A. M.? How I enjoyed. the trolley ride from Willimantic with you and the others, guessing who I was (I guess I ‘was rather selfish not to tell). Aunt Sarah: Should like to meet Yyou again very much and Peggie Ann. How is the little Peggie? Hope she ‘was not cross the next day. Most lit~ tle ones are, for they get very tired. Do the sisters know that the pink blossomed Hardhack is very good for little folks in case of bowel trouble? Steep the leaves, put in some sugar and drink. It is good for older ones, also; but I use it for my little ones a good deal. Another remedy for babies is Red Raspberry-leaf Tea. =My cure for chilblaines is to put on raw linseed oil and rud it in well, then R‘old the foot close to the fire and heat Take Mullen Stalk when it is budded to blossom, pick off and put into a Junk bottle, cork tight, hang out on the side of building where the sun will shine on it strong most all day, for ten days or two weeks, and you will be surprised to see the oil there is in it. This is sald to be a great help to deaf people; just a drop into the ears. I once knew a man who made mullen leaf tea and drank it. He said it helped him and he was a pretty deaf man. ‘What hay weather we are having. Some have oats out, and some hay. ‘We are going to have a shower now. I saw by the paper Lonesonme Pine enjoyed an anniversary; the 25th year of her marriage. My anniversary is next month, but more years must be added before the 25th. The years roll along. My mother always used to say: “Time and Tide Wait for No Man; but I find they don't wait for no woman, either. I will bid you all good-night and close with many thanks to The Bul- letin and Biddy and all the rest, for my good time. AUNT JERUSHA. THANKS TO AUNT ABBY.

Priscilla: I have quite a bit done to the centre piece. It was kind of you to bring it to the Club for me to copy. Hope you will come to Aunt Abby’s, July 29th.

RHUBARB MIXTURE. - Dear Bditor and Social Corner Mem- bers:—It has been some time since I have been able to write to The The Corner, but here I am again. ‘What good times you people do have. I wish I were a little nearer you all so I could get to some of the picnics. I wonder if there are any Corner memr- bers in or near Stafford, if so I wish they would show the yellow bow so we could get acquainted, and perhaps have a picnic. I have a telephone and would be glad‘to chat any time. ‘Samantha: Queen Bess is still writ- ing but has another pen mame. ‘There is more good wrought by smiles than this world dreams of. If your child is peevish or fretful, per- haps some little thing has irritated him. Smile! A real loving, sincere smile will work wonders with the most 1ill-tempered child. Never scold a child for a frowning face; do not call attention to it. To do so but strengthens the word by making him conscious of it. Children are natural imitators and g0od humor is contagious. While your child is a tiny baby, laugh to him and teach him to look pleasant, and so feel pleasant through unconscious im- itation. Consciousness is motor. Every in ward impression or emotion has its own particular outward expression. Each suggests the other. If by force of example you can bring a smile to your child’s face, it follows naturally that you have helped him assume a cheerful state of mind. Since it is a poor rule which does not work both ways, you are conserv- ing your own energy and helping to keep your poise. Don’t nag. Don’t look for trouble and tell—perhaps before Willie—what a bad boy he is. Assume that your children want to do right. Feel confi- dent that they will obey. Create a helpful atmosphere and things will go much more smoothly for it It's a remedy and preventative that I tried thoroughly when teaching school and I have found it just as helpful with my own children. Smile! Smile!.and try like “Polly- anna” to ‘find something ‘to be glad of.” his brother-in-law’s If any of you have not read the story of Pollyanna I advise you by all means to do so. It is a child's story to be sure, but there is a lesson in it for us all.

Dear Cornerites and Editor:—The flowers were droopy and slow during the cool and dry spring and watering only kept them alive, but now they are making up for lost time, and the weeds are quite upish and claim the right of way everywhere. If the tem- perature should continue near the 90 degrees every day, “We all should be dwindling and couldn’t do nothing just no_how.” Ruth: I agree with you about mak- ing and buying for the Christmas gifts. The days seem all too short. Frank: 'We miss your cheery let- ters. Perhaps you are too poorly to write even a short one.

And you may know how surprised and mad I was when a rap came on the back door and there stood a man with a box in his hand which he gave to Dottie with Si's best wishes for the day. That air box was opened and there was peanuts and lollypops for all them women, and do you know I was so glad St did not come himself, for if he had I am sure he would have all of those sixteen different kinds of hairs on his coat for me to brush off. T made the best of it and said it was a good joke, but when I got home I won't tell what I said to him. ‘He says he is going to Aunt Abby's club next week and I don't know what 1 shall do to keep him home, for it cost so to have men go gading around with the girls; but I suppose I shalk have to let him go. Crimson Rambler: Shall give no hints as to the color of Si’s whiskers. You will have to find him with the Merry Farmer, Joseph Doe, Merry ‘Widow, Lucinda and others; but I will give you a kew (donm’t look for red halir). ST'S WIFE MANDY. THOUGHTS FROM DOTTIE, Dear Social Corner Sisters One and All: —Thoughts come today of how little we think of the blessings that come to us. Each day in the sunshine, wind, rain, and the beautiful flowers, and the birds that sing and friends in health and all of the things God gives us from day to day. If we only tried to do right. bring up our children as they should be, teach them to love all things that live on this earth as part of the great creator’s plan, don't you think it would be better than to put into their hand a toy pistol or shot gun to shoot dogs, birds and cats, and play fighting as they do? Don’t you think it gives them thoughts which later on will develop into something more serious. Look at the smiling faces of our boy scouts. ‘What are they trained for? at part are they taking across the water in the land soaked with the blood of strong, able-bodied men Have you boys to send out? Have I? I think we ought to teach them love to all mankind and animals, and peace with honor, and whisper words of love to them, not, of revenge, and tell them of God's love for everything. Even the blades of grass are held in the hollow of His hand. If you do so, twenty years from now you will see the fruit of your words from their mouths in words of peace not strife and war. Think it over Sisters. Lary House-Wife's Pickles—One cup of sugar, one cup of course fine salt, one cup of ground mustard, one gallon of vinegar. Wash cucumber and drop in any time. DOTTIE. HARDY SEEDS TO PLANT. Dear Social Cornerites:—It is time to get your hardy seeds planted for next year, as nearly all hardy plants have to be two years old before they blossom, so if they get get a good start this year they will bloom better next year. I find the best way is to make a bed pulvezjzed as much as possible, then take a stiff piece of pasteboard, or a light board and flatten the soil down; next take the edge of the board and make rows, put seeds in the rows, cover lightly, press down smooth with the board, then take some old win- dow screens and put over the bed, with stones or bricks under each cor- ner to raise them up from the ground. This will prevent stray cats and dogs from bringing them up ahead of time. Sprinkle them through the screen. Put cloth or paper over the screen and when plants are up remove cloth or paper: but leave screens until plants are quite well grown. Following is a list of the best seeds to plant: Alyssum saxatile (gold dust), Aquil- egia (columbine), Arabis Alpina (rock cress), Bellis (double daisy). Camp- anula (Canterbury bells), Delphinium (Larkspur), Dianthus (pink), Digitalis (foxglove), Hollyhocks, Lychnis, Pan- sies, Poppy, Sweet Rocket, Saponaria, Sweet William. ‘Hoillvhocks, Delphinium and popples had better be planted where they are to grow, as they have long tap roots and do not bear transplanting well. Arabis- Alpina is a lovely verbena like white flower that blossoms with the crocus and early bulbs. I have had very good success by the preceding method. ROCK MOSS. NICE SUMMER DRINKS. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: I am sending some nice summer drinks and ‘hope some of the Sisters will like them. They are better than soda. They are refreshing and cool drinks: Egg Nog—Those who can drink milk and who wish a nourishing drink can take egg nog, either plain or in fancy form, which is especially pleasing to children. To make this, beat the white and yolk of one egg separately, add to the yolk a pinch of salt and two tea- spoons sugar; to these add one cup cold milk and three-fourths of the beaten white of egg. Mix thoroughly and flavor with vanilla and nutmeg. Pour into glasses and garnish the top with remainder of the white of egg, sweetened and flavored. Fruit Punch—From fruit juices many combinations may be made. A simple D|one is fruit punch, made as follows: Boil together for ten minutes three cups sugar, three pints water, the grated rind of three lemons and two oranges. Cook two cups grated pine- apple in two pints water for twenty minutes; add to the syrup and cool. To serve, add one pint strawberry or raspberry or other berry juice and the Juice of three lemons and two oranges. Best wishes to all. LITTLE DAISY OF CANTERBURY. POLLYANNA’S STOCK PROBLEM. Dear Social Corner Friends:—Al- ¥ | thoueh I have not written for a long time, I like to read the letters, and am to Pollyanna’s ‘what you ludinnwtiohaq‘. Aunt Sarah: I think it would all right for you und Lonesome Pine to drop in at one of our picnics. Don’t think any of the Sisters would object. Merry Farmer: I have had pretty fair luck with my_chicks, thank you. How are yours? Why don't you me up some time on the ‘phore? Silent Partner: So" you have found me out, have you? Well, just speak when you see me. I go by your house very often, but never see anything of you. 3 S Cherry Blossom: Drop in some time when you are out for the day and I will show you a few specimens of my crocheting. I know you were much in- terested at one time. Golden Glow: Did you get wet last Wednesday afternoon? ‘I wondered if you did. Poliyanna’s letter received. Thanks for the invitation it contained. : CRIMSON RAMBLER. A WORD FROM FAIRY GOD- MOTHER. Dear Editor and Social Cornerites: How have you been standing the awful hot weather we have been having? The shower of last evening made it a little cooler, for which I am thankful. Very suddenly and without warning I found myself in the hands of Prac- tical Polly. 1 spent a delightful week with her. She has run off with the Soeial Corner prize I put up two years ago. I am sitting out on the veranda of one of the pleasant places in Comnec- t. cut I called on Sister Married and Happy lately. but she was not at home. ‘Was very sorry I could not be at the lake when the Social Corner Sisters were there. I am living in hopes. While there is life, never give up. Trusting all Social Corner Sisters are well, I remain as ever, FAIRY GODMOTHER. RECIPES FOR PICNIC LUNCHES. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: I wonder if you are all com- plaining of the heat. The first salu- tation of everybody I have seen to- day is: “Oh, how hot it is!” But this is fine summer weather, just what we have been wishing for since those cold, wet, disagreeable days we had in June. I certainly hope it has come to stay. As this is the season when picnics are held, I will send in a few choice recipes for filliug the lunch box: Watermelan Cake—Whites of six eggs, two cups of white sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of sweet milk, four even cups of flour, two teaspoons of baking powder. Flavor with lemon. For the red part, take the whites of two eggs, 3-4 cup of red igar, 1-2 cup of butter, one-half cup milk, 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream and the eggs to a stiff froth. Take one-half the quantity of white mix- ture for the bottom layer. Then all the red mixture, and lay on two rows of seeded raisins so they will be one inch apart. Then beat the rest of the white part for a top layer. Bake in long tins. Sponge Cookies—Two eggs, one cup sugar, two heaping spcons of bak- ing powder, one-half spoon salt, two spoons lemon juice, flour enough to roll. One Egg Lunch Cake—One egg, one tablespoon of butter, one cup of su- gar, one cup of milk, 3-4 cup of cur- rants, one teaspoon of baking powder. Rub the butter to a cream, add the sugar gradually; then the well beaten egg; add the flour and milk to the mixture and flour the currants, Beat well, then add the currants. Bake in loaf pan lined with oiled paper. Sweet Rusk—One pint of warm milk, one-half cup of butter, one cup sugar, two eggs, one teaspoon salt, two-thirds of a cake of compressed yeast. Make a sponge, with the milk, yeast and flour enough for a thin bat- ter; let rise over night; in the morn- ing add the butter, ezgs and sugar, well beaten together; salt and flour enough to make a soft dough: mold with the hands into balls; let rise until very light, then bake. I hope some of the Sisters will try these recipes, especiaily the Water- melon Cake. Tidy Addly—Where are you? Do you have so many S C. functions to attend you can't get time to write?
