Dear Sisters of the Social Cormer: It will be a good thing if gthe war abroad: compels us to look to'our own manufacturers for new styles in dress for men, women and children. It is pleasing to read that our own designers will place on the market this fall hats and dresses in variety, styles and colors which will equal if not excel imported goods, and if it will cure us of a fancy for forelgn goods regardless of their merit the war will have dore a good thing for us, wing are the new colors already anno#inced for fall wear: Onyx, clear green. Orchid, pink tinge. Belgian blue, soft grayish. Dreadnought gray, almost smoke. Sand or putty, which are not netv, .but will stay. Porcelain blue, clear light sky blue, a heavenly tint. Canary yellow, rose and salmon, all of which are more familiar. We - shall all be interested in the new American fashions which may be just as good and becoming as any- thing designed in Parls. SALESWOMAN. TWO OR THREE SUMMER DISHES. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: 1 am pleased to submit for your trial a few economical summer dishes: Scrap Bread Pudding—Take 1-2 Ib. scraps of bread, 1 tablespoon chopped suet or dripping. 1 handful currantc or ralsins, 1 tabiespoon of sugar, 1- teaspoon of ground ginger,. 1 teacup of milk. 1 egg. Keep all scraps of bread that are clean and neatly cut from them all the brown crust. Put the bread into o basin of water to soak for an hour. Less time is required if the bread is not very hard. Have very clean hands, and after squeezing the water entirely out, put the bread in a dry basin, and add to 1t the sugar, the dripping ‘or suet, and the fruit. Boll the milk. and pour it over ths read. - etc, e basin,_and whisk it weil up with a fork. Beat -up-the. \egg and agdd it, also the ground gin- ger. Butter a ‘basif, into-which But the pudding, and allow it to steam for 1 1-3 hours. Serve-with sweet sauce. Toad in a Hole—Take 1-4 pound four, 1 pinch salt, 1-2 pound sausages, o 3-4 pint milk: put in a basin W%%wu "Put, in kpitie with | and: there 3 and, after mixing it with the peur gradually among the flour, beat- log it with a spoon. When quite mooth, pour it into a pudding dish; put the sausages in among the batte; d bake for three-quarters of a bour. Pleces of apples, some goose- berries, rhubard, or pleces of cold meat or fish may be substituted for the sausages, and all make a good dish, - The fruit requires a little su- gar, and sugar must also be used along with the pudding. Macaroni for Nourishment—Place two ounces of macaroni in a pan of boiling salted water, boil it without tho 1id for half an hour till tender. Drain it, and cut it in two-inch lengths. " Make a white sauce with an ounce of butter, an ounce of flour and half a pint of milk or milk and water. Cook well, season, add the mac- aroni to the sauce, mix; and add two ounces of grated cheese, and more seasoning if necessary. Pour the mixture into a greased ple- dish, sprinkle a dessertspoon of bread crumbs and the same amouht of grated cheese over the top, with a few pieces of butter. Brown the ple quickly In the oven and serve with fresh vegetables. Thess will be found very palatable. LASSIE. SOUTHERN MADE CORN-CAKES. Editor Soclal Corper, and Sisters: There is no part of the country where corn-meal is so Jargely used as in the south, and no cooks have better suc- cess in preparing it for the table. Following are a few recipes I should like to have the sisters try: Corn Meal Rolls—One and one-quar- ter cups wheat flour, 3-4 cup corn meal, 3 teasnoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons of butter or shortening, 1 egg, 1-2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt. Sift together the dry ingredients, in- cluding the baking powder, and rub the butter or shortening into them. Beat the egg, add the milk and add this to dry ingredients. Add more milk If necessary to make a soft dough. Roll out on floured board. handle light- ly. Cut with biscuit cutter, fold like Parker House rolls and bake in quick oven. Corn Meal Muffins—One-half cup corn meal, 1 cup flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon ‘meited butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 3-4 cup milk, 1 egg. Mix and sift the dry ingredients: add milk grad- ually; ‘the egs, well beaten, and the melted butter. Bake in a hot oven in buttered gem pans 25 minutes. Virginia Waffles—One cup corn meal (white if possible), 2 cups boiling wa- ter, 1 cup milk, 2 1-2 cups flour, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 3-4 cup melted butter, 1-4 cup sugar. 3 teaspoons bak. ing powder. Cook meal in boiling wa- ter 20 minutes. Mix and sift dry in- gredients and add alternately with milk, |milk. Add eggs well beaten and melt- ed_butter. Qelicious. Southern Ash Cake—One quart corn meal, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon shortening, boiling water. Scald the | meal, add the salt and shortening, and | when mixture is cool form into oblong cakes, adding more water if necessary. Wrap the cakes in cabbage leaves or place one cabbage leaf under the cake and one over them and cover with hot ashes. These are favorites with those people who live below the Mason and Dixon line. Fried Corn Meal Mush—One cup corn meal, 1-2 cup white flour, 4 cups boiling water, 2 teaspoons salt Make the mush and pour.into a greased pan. When ‘cold slice it. Saute or fry in pork ‘fat or butter, or fry in deep fat. I use butter generally, as we live on a farm. Baby loves it for breakfast or supper with corn or maple syrup on- it. Corn Meal Pancakes—Two cups of flour, 1-2 cup of corn meal, 1 1-2 ta- blespoons baking powder, 1 1-2 tea- spoons salt, 1-2 cup sugar, 1 1-2 cups boiling water, 1 1-4 cups milk, 1 egg. Add meal to boiling water, and boil five minutes; turn into a bowl, add milk and remaining dry_ingredients mixed and sifted, then the egz well beatan, and butter. Cook on a greased griddle. Just delicious. HANNAH WHO. Cook as waffles. They are HOW THINGS ARE DONE IN OUR; FAMILY: Dear Social Cormer Sisters: There is never an end to-the little domestic helps which are of help and value in the home. Let me present a few suggestions you may not all be familiar with: For luncheon try soft cheese sand- wiches- fried in-butter. > Pour melted. butter on..the top of canned tomatoes before sealing to keep them sweet. - A sprig of passley dipped in vinegar and eaten after the meal .of which onions formed a part will remove the, onion odor from the breath. - To make flaky mashed.potatoes use hot milk and beat hard Grate an apple into your horserad- ish and you will have a fine relish. It brushed.with the white of an egg before the ‘fruit is put in, ple- crust will not.be sogey. To whip thin cream, or augment, add the white of an egg. For/ pasting labels, etc., use white. ot esg: they will not come ioose and will stand dampness and water. When fryinz oysters add a little baking powder to the cracker crumbs. To boil eggs until the white is “set” cover with cold water and put over the fire untll they come to & boll Many of you may know these things, but the young housekeeper may get assistance from them. : .

The child with disease, on the other hand (Including a child about to be- come sick) is bewildered rather than irritated: there is diminished act'vity, he seeks repose, rather tkan caresses, and his little countenance is neither lighted up with a smile mor clouded with ill humor; he assumes the serious air of an adult, and scems to feel a presentiment of impeacing physical suffering. There are differences between thesc two pictures which mothers and phy- sicians _accustomed to the observa- tion of children seize upon with mar- velous perception. Gayety is one of thic child's func- tions. A sad child is a painful anomaly: his sadness is often also a warning of all the more serious im- port, if his grief and cries be not ac- companieq by tears.

Frank wished the marriage to take shortly after severing his con- nection with the leading dentist of Glenfel. which would be three months after his financee's graduation, be- sides, he wished to be in an office of his own after returning from their wedding trip. Both Frank's and Ed- na’s parents deemed it wiser for the couple to wait a year until he was well established In _business and had mastered the bitter experiences that all persons who start for themselves. have to encounter at first. They told them that if they commenced life to- gether at opce, as they red. their love might chill and they grow In- different tc each other. Frank laughingly asserted that hc wasn't afraid,’and that he was san- guine of success from the very first. He then presented 2 cook book to his lady love and sald: “All's well with 2 woman If she is armed with an im. plement of this kind.” So fxiling. to- convince the lovers of the advantage of waiting the parents. gave a re- luctant consent to an early marriage.

At other times Mother Steele taught her how to cook nearly all kinds of food and explained the di- rections in the cook book. In two weeks time on arriving home one day Frank foynd that his mother had arrived to meke them a visit. All annovances were forgotten and she received a_hearty welcome from him, but when Edna announced dinner! the thought of his grievances returned, an idea came to him, and he acted on the spur of the moment and said: “Come, lets celebrate, mother, you and Edna don your wraps and we will take our dinner out. “What!" cried Mrs. Steele, “after Edna has prepared dinner, no, I think A trip to Boston AUNT SARAH.

In pegard to the picnics, I do not quite agree with Aunt Esther. Think the way we have been having them the best. It is afl right to carry plate, cup, knife, etc.; but like putting the 004 on the table and each one help themselves.

SOME PLAIN FACTS. HOW | SPENT ONE SUMMER'S DAY. * I went aWay for a_few days down to the village, to visit and take a few days rest. In the same town lived Mister Allen, his wife Samantha .1 knew some. She says, I just got an invite over to Loontown to spend’the day with Tidy Addly. “Who is she” says L “Well, you come along with me ang you will ‘see,” says she. . As Josioh had mended the spring to his wagon and was going over to Zoar for the day, she took Tirzah Ann and ber sister along, both real nice girls. Well, we took the train and rode a spell, then a short ride on the trolley cars, soon we ‘arrove at Tidy Addly's. There Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— Why should a woman work sixteen hours a day to her husband’s eight? The only reason offered is that as a partner she cannot do her part in less time. Then the husband might do some of 1t, or hire some one to help.

FROM IA GOOD SUGGESTION Maybe I've forgotten some, but twen- ty in all, beside some children I eee running around and playing c;va- visitors, is the pac) that comes nearest ' = to tual motion—thé pacé which is sald to kill. The 0ld horse in the barn and the hogs in the pen, doubtless pity her— the dog in the kennel does not want to change jobs with her. : The equality women are agitating for should begin in the home and end at the ballot box—equality in labor and equality in influence. THE CRANK. LETTING THE OTHERS DO IT. Dear Social Corner reading the Social Cormer letters I have observed that prevailing every- day spirit is there as well as every- where else, that willingress to let the other person do it. 1 remember that two Writers ven- tured to criticise The Cormer and ad vised that it take on a more educativ form or higher tone, but, although I! have walted long for these two per- sons who saw the need of this domestic, page to bring it up to their ideal, they! have never attempted to do 0. They suggested it to others, but the others have made no reply. Like the gen- tiemen they are willing to let George (eana), do it. i now and then some letter- writer wishes there were more picnic: but they do not seem to have thel Putnamic daring to lead where any dare to follow. Pt There is another class who -chat Ibly, and urge others to write let-| ters of a more entertaining character,| while they never touch domestic que: tions and join in mone of the discu: slons. They are willing Georgeanal should do it . It is real pleasant to have some one entertain you. It is kind and gener- ous for them to do it: it may be polite to urge them to @o it; but there is said to be real joy'in the doing. Why not try it? It is easy to be a wisher, an urger, | a hoper, but it is meritorious to be! a doer. ow don’t you think 507 BROTHER BILL. ROSES CHANGE COLOR. Editor Social Corner:—I ‘was surprised that the white roses on t calendar Blanche received turned red. She must know roses are not always true. not | The yellow rambler changes- to white, and the so-called biue rose changes to an unattractive lavender, and other roses change their color. Among the tulips there are several varieties cel el use of their changeless-like 135 change their color.
