Editor Social Corner:—When I read the anti-suffragist's assertions, that the enfranchisement of women, has not benefited the conditions of women and ‘children in the states where they bave it. 1 am reminded of the woman Who was brought before the judge, one Monday morning, in Baltimore. The judge looked her over, listened to her story and said: “Are you not the same woman, who. was brought before me a year ago, with the same story?” “Yes, Judge, I am. You see I am not like them women who say one thing today and another tomorrow,” she replied. Just so with the antis, they con- tinue year after year with the same old story, every year sees new laws for the ben- efit of women and children going on the statute books of these states where ‘women vote. Oregon has given us recently an ex- ample. Before women voted there 26 per cenf. of the girls working in the retail stores received a rate of les than six dollars a week.. Now,, two years: after, women were given the vote, less than 1 ‘per-cent. are paid below - this rate. This fact can be found in the report of Miss' Marle L. O’Breauer of the Woman's Division of the U, S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, after a careful study of the minimum wage law in Oregon. The miinmum wage law was one of the first laws won by the enfranchised women _of Oregon. Ask the girls working in the retail stores, if the votes for women has made life easier for them and not the woman of leisure. lilinols affords_another illusthation where the State Board of Administra- employed in state institutions ceive the same pay as men where they do the same work. This decision ef- fects 3,500 women. President Kern, of the ‘State Board said: e “There {s no reason why a nurse in a state institution should not recelve the eame wages as men attendants in the same clags of work. It should have Dbeen recognfzed before. It is woman's vote that opens the eyes of public officials to the necessity of justice. ent Wilson appointed a Fed- eral commission to probe the causes of social ;and inds unrest. Anti- Andings: "On the vers fizat pase of the ngs. o\ very page of the digest prepared by this copmission, we. find this: “Among the' recom- ‘mendations is & strong argument urg- ing political rights for women as one| of the means by which women in in- dustry may obtain I ‘wages."

HULDY’S PICNIC. Dear Editor and Social Cornerit Methinks I can hardly do justice ir: de- seribing the Social Corner gathering at the home of our genial hostess Huldy. On arriving at the station we were conveved to the house by way of an auto through the kindness of the brother of Huldy. Maine Lover, Wandering Jew. Molly and Trottie being the first to arrive. Soon another auto-load came; and last but not least Mary Franze put in an appearance. Only one came to represent Club Nao. 2. Of the disappointment to hostess, wand Club No. 1 in not having Club No. 2 join us on that day, I need not speak. Surely the hostess had planned for many of Club No. 2. Though the day was the hottest of the season, it did not deter the Cor- nerites from having a right fine time; and the table which was s with salads and other good Social Corner cookery, under the shade of the trees was enoush to make one forget th heat for a tfme. As the afternoon waned—the heat becoming less tense—games were, in order. First a_wheelbarrow race, ithe prize going to Married and Happy, consist- ing of a fine bead necklace. Second carrying an egi on the bot- tcm side of a plate which was quite laughable, Wandering Jew receiving the prize of cup and saucer. She also got the beans off from a plate first. rottie was at that trial, but of course, she knows she is such (a little one) Ha! Ha! How could she beat aoy game? To try the -wheelbarrow was wholly out of the question. It soon came time to depart for our several homes. Those who came first were the first to go. Again the auto was brought into requisition, all expressing their thanks for_the help thus given.

AUNT MARY AT THE FAIR Dear Social Cornerites:—I was very glad to see the picture of the Social Corner group at The Bulletin tent in Saturday's Bulletin. If I had not met some of them just before the picture| was taken and found out who they were I would not have been so much interested in the picture as now. Dom Pedro: I had never met be- fore. Was very glad to find out who Jim was. He was so modest that we could not get him to tell his name; but a kind'sister who knew him told us tbat he was Jim, and we all felt provoked to think we could not.have thought of that name before guessing all the other ones before he left the. itent. If he had only told us his pen- jname I would have urged him to write | another story. The one he wrote some months ago was 8o interesting and instructive I have been hoping to see more from his pen. \ Did not meet as many of the Social Cornerites as I hoped to at the falr; {but was'very glad to make the ae- |quaintance of Faye Verna. Hope to ecome better acquainted in the near jtuture. Can sympathize with her |Truly every heart knoweth its own sorrow. All who enjoyed the benefit of the Bulletin tent.feel very grateful for the kind thoughtfulness which made it possible for us to rest in the com- fortable chairs within the tent so kindly provided for us. Thers is a Dproverb: -“He who would have friends must show himself friendly.” We think the Bulletin Co, is entitled to many friends. AUNT MARY. CAKE, Dear Social Corner Sisters:—I enjoy your letters very much. Surely there is no need of any of us going hungry for lack of knowing how to make good things.. Why not have a Social Corner cook book? The Mystery Sup- per eent in by Ruth is aH right. I Would like to hear morp new ideas for money making entertainments. Saturday Eve: 1 do not know you and am at a loss how to find out “Who is 'Who?" But “Where there's a will there's a way.” According to your first letter we are from the same town, so cannot be far apart. I send a few recipes which may be new to some of the Sisters. Try them. Scripture Cake—One cup of butter; Judges V, 25; 2 cups of sugar, Jere- miah, VI, 20; 8 1-2 cups of flour, pre- pared with 1 teaspoon of yeast pow- ders, 1 Kings, IV, 22 cups of rais- ins, 1 Samuel, XXX, 12; 1 cup of al- monds, Genesis, 11; 2 cups of figs, 1 Samuel, XXX, 12; 1 cup of wa- ter, Genesis, XXTV, 20; § quinm.h X, 14; a little salt, Leviticu: 13; 1 large iron spoon of honey, Exodus XVI 31; sweet spices to taste, 1 Kings X, ; 'follow Solomoms advise for making good boys, first clause of Proverbs 11, 14; and you will have a good cake.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:—I am? sending in a few timely recipes which may supply something new for the table. the yolks of eggs with a teaspoon- ful of curry powder and about a ta- Dle ful of mayonnaise dressing. Mineed veal or chicken mixed with the grated yolks of hard-bolled esgs, sea- | soned slightly with salt, the whole molstened with cream, makes another splendid filling. To serve, form the mixture into bails about the mze of the original ege yolk and set them in cir- clps made from quarter-inch slices of the whites of the eggs. Serve on criep lettuce leav Stuffcd Peaches—Pare and -halve peaches and remove stones. Fill halves with almonds and English walnuts, equal quantities, chopped fine. Fasten together with small toothpicks. Sprin- kle four or five tablespoonfuls sugar over them and piace in. a saucepan witi a little water. Steam ten minu- tes and allow to cool. Chill and serve cola with sugar and cream. If pre-| ferred, stuff with marshmallows, rolled in powdered sugar with browned al- monds stuck in them and serve with Jelly or candied ginger. _ Brown Betty—Mix two-cups of sliced apples with nearly a cup of fresh bread crumbs. one-fourth of a cup of brown sugar and level teaspoon of cinnamon. Add three level iablespoons melted butter and pour into a buttered bak- ing-dish. Pour one-half cup of water over the whole. Use the remainder of the cup of bread crumbs and a little melted butter for the top. Bake forty- five minutes in a moderate oven..Serve hot or cold with hard seuce. Hard Sauce—Cream four table- spoons butter, add one teaspoon boil- ing water. Then add one cup of Pow- dered sugar gradually. Try to’ keep the sauce creamy. Add one-half tea- spoon vanilla extract and one-half teaspoon lemon extract. Set.in ice box to harden. Serve cold. HA NNAH WHO. FIXING UP AROUND THE HOUSE. Dear Sisters of the Soc'al Corne: The fall cleaning calls for attention to all the things neglected during. the ‘warm weather. If the kitchen stove ls rusty rub it with kerosene—before there is a fire in it, of course. Then mix strong soap- suds with the polish and blacken in the usual way. If any fabric has become mildewed dip it in citric acid, diluted, and then lay in the sun until the mildew disap- pears. A good furniture polish for polish- ing furniture that has become dull a dusty is made by mixing three parts of linseed oil with one part of turpentine. Rub on with a woolen cloth and rub the furniture until the polish is dry. An old fashioned method for clean- ing porcelain kettles that have become discolored is to boil new potatoes in them. But a more modern method is to boil them with washing soda dis- solved in water. If a water pipe has become clogged dissolve a pound of potash in boiling water and pour this solution into the sink or bowl where the-trouble is. It will soon cut out the obstruction in the pipes. In a couple of hours flush the pipes with boiling water. Rust stains on marble should be rst rubbed with lemon julce. If this does not remove them, use a coarser cleaning powder. To clean a bathtub that is dlscolored from standing all summer use am- monia or else sift together an ounce of baking \soda, and apply this moist, to the stains. Rub thoroughly and wash with hot soap and water. ‘When one knows what to do it does not takeso long to do it. ROXANNA. ESCALLOPED TOMATOES, .

Dear Editor and Social Corner Fri 8 The question of providing well lanced and nourishing food for the school child claims the attention of mothers this month. During the long vacation home rules and regulations are oftea set aside to &l the child as well as the mother a complete change; but with the opening of the school term renewed mental ac- tivity and set hours for work and play demand an crease of good food to keep pace with the increased growth of mind and bedy. An ideal breakfast food for children of all ages is some good cooked cereal with ecream or milk.. To this may be added fruit, eggs, toasted bread, cocoa or_cercal coffee. If the child carries lunch, the break- fast dishes should be served warm, es- pecially during cold weather. The home luncheon should be plentiful but easlly assimilated, all kinds of cream soups 'or ‘well cooked legnmes, rice or appe- tizfngly made dishes preferably made with rhilk and eggs and some simple sweet will satisfy the child but not satiate him, Digestive disturbances often arise from staving off hunger with mix- ture of left-overs or a piece of cake or ple which the mother thinks is easier for her to get, but instead is making her more work and making possible doctor's bilis. ‘When the problem of packing lunch for school children confronts you, 4o it as well and easily as possible. Wax- ed paper can be saved from the differ- ent package goods such as cracker etc., and the cracker boxes themselves, if carefully opened and emptied of their contents, make excel- lent carriers for sandwiches and cake; little glass, screw top jars should also ba saved, as they will hold custards and stewed fruits; wooden spoons such as come with French mustard are nice for the lunch basket. Following are some recipes for nour- ishing dishes all children like: Egg Bread (a nice breakfast Aish for children)—Cut two slices of bread into small cubes, beat an egg and a pinch of salt until smooth, ur this over the bread and shake so as to coat all sides, then sautee bread in a pan with a little butter. Creamed Eggs—Place one tablespoon of butter and one-quarter cup of milk in an omelet pan, beat four eggs and a. pinch of salt until well blended. When the milk is warm, pour in the egss and keep pan just hot enough to cook eggs without turning brown. With a jat knife turn and lift eggs to prevent sticking, but do not scramble them; as soon as set and light, turn upom hot slices of buttered toast. Serve at once. Milked Baked Potatoss—Pare, slice and wash eight medium sized potatoes; boil in just enough water to keep from burning; when almost soft, drain off water and have ready a buttered pud: ding dish; place the potatoes in the dish in layers, seasoning them lightly with a little salt and paprika; pour on Just enough milk to show through top: dot with a few bits of butter and bake until top ie slightly browned, Cream Tomatoes on Toast—One cup of skinned tomatoes, one tablespoon of sugar, ohe-half teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of flour, a pinch of soda, one-half cup of milk. If you havé no fresh tomatoes, use canned ones, draining off the juice to be used in soup; heat butter in a pan, add the to- matoes and cook until tender; add sea- scning and flour; stir well, then stir In soda, and last add the milk. As soon as hot, pour over slices of toast. Serve at once. - Tea Cakes—One-quarter cug of but- ter, one-half cup of powdered sugar, two eggs, one cup of sifted flour, one teaspoon of baking powder, ome cup of cleaned currants, a few gratings of lemon; cream butter, sugar and yolks until very light; sift baking der into flour; add currants and lemon to creamed mass; then add stiffity whip- ped whites and flour alternating (no milk needed); when well mixed, apread in flat baking pan-about one- half inch thick; bake until top Just turning light yellow, then s m butter, cinnamon and sugar over and bake until nicely browned. When cold, cut in squares and serve fresh. Frosted Molasses Cake—One cup of molasses, four tablespoons of lard, one- S o e St spoon inger, one- milk, two -n:':n-nu of o Place lard £ L my I know yow.

Dear Soclal Cormer Writers I was pleased to see the picture of the Social Corner temt with a zroup of sisters about its front in The Corner, and it contained a suggestion that thess gatherings may have taken thelr name from “the fair” in attendance. Away back in the fifteenth century it was proclaimed “All that fatre is, is by nature good.” In these days It may be so, but “the midwav” dis- closes that by man it has been made vile. How do you suppose “the fair” came to mean at first a market, then mi; cellanecus display of farm products and bedquilts. when at first maidens were fair and a group of them came to be referred-to as “the faire™ There is something queer about the history of words—how old meanings are jost and new meanings are evolved. In our language now a thing which s fair may be beautiful, or it may be above medioerit: may a favorabie wind, or a market held at a particular time. The 'dictionary telis us that with “the” before it, it means the female sex; and with “the’ before it it meuns also a place where horses and doj or any old thing is displayed for a price. It is a historical fact that there was a time when “the faire” were marketed like cattle, and a_man could take his wWife out and pudlicly sell her for a price as he conld his goat or his dog. It i recorded as latc as in the latter part of Queen Victoria's reign. one of her subjects took his wife to the mar- ket place and sold her for a shilling. We not from this that “the fair and the market were not so very long ago most closely allfed. We are inclined to think “the fair” might have taken its name from man's admiration of the anl his desire to honor woman, b the facts in the rag-bag of time do not warrant such & conclusion. ““The fair” were marketed, and “the fair” became a synonym for a market, and it is signet and sealed and In the dictionary, and man cannot get clear of the odium of it. These are the nettling chunks of wisdom the suf- fragettes like to pass out to the lords of creation. There is no doubt if “the fair” were to cease to attend the fair, the charm wculd be gone and the so- called fair would become a frost.. 1 hope the sisters of the Social Cor- mer wiil take an interest in this sub- ject. If they were not “the faire” be- fore “the fair” was, who were they? The sisters, perhaps, may have won- dered who that man Was in the social Den name with him. and none of Others scemed to have. would be just like Nat to leave “them hogs” long enough to get into the swim. 1 have always imagiaed Nat as fookin the Editor, taken.
