Not Wan'h\md Nothing More. ‘Long upon the billows driven, like a vessel tossed and riven, Without rudder, chart or compass, safe to guide it to the shore, Was this soul of one forsaken, by its own thoughts o'ertaken, Like the voice of bird thus shaken, _~ croaking o'er his chamber door Like this soul, to bird thus pleading, ings of the Bible lore, Sust Do words, and nothing more. Had his eyes but left the raven, and by chance have seen engraven “On the pallid bust of Pallas just # above his chamber door.” There in zephyr worked, a token, ‘wrought by her whose loss had broken, Even hopes her love had spoken—by. his loved and lost Lenore— Words like these, “Believe on me and thou shalt live forevermore”— Still not “words and nothing ‘more.” Had that mind, so bright and gifted, to its God that prayer but lifted, “Jesus, is there balm in Gilead? Tell |- me, tell me, I implore.” ‘Had ho then stilled the tempest beat- ing in his heart by oft repeating ‘Words of love, of faith entreating, ‘which the Savior spake of yore His own sad soul would have been lifted from that “shadow on the floor.” Christ foreaking never more. ‘Would that He had him entreated, with His love infinite greeted, Had_dispelled those horrid fancies . yhlon assailed him from the oor; Then his soul that weight had lifted, | from that consclousness 0 gifted, And_he would have seen the dawn light gleaming, gleaming on the shore, Then that soul to raven pleading, would have faith in other lore, *Twere not words and nothing ‘more. Tortured soul, ’pon billows driven, 2 ’twas not meant that you be riven And be making plaintive pleadings answered from above the door; *Twas his conscience that was crying, though he felt that hope Was dying, Hope of ever seeing his enshrined and sweet Lenore, His sad soul ehould have been exalted from that “shadow on the floor.” Christ forsaking never more. —Sent in by RUTH.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Now that cool weather is here and it is nec- essary to serve meat oftener than once a day, a few inexpensive recipes for meat dishes may be acceptable. When it is possible to keep meat for several days, it is a good plan to buy a whole flank occasionelly; it may be bought for ten cents & pound and a thirteen pound flank will last for a number of days and may be used In various ways. The part contain- ing bone may be cut off and used for 2 stew. The sirloin flank may be run through the grinder and used for hamburg steak. Part of it may be corned, and cooked with cabbage, or it may be rolled, boiled, and served cold in slices. Dried beef ends sell for ten cents 2 pound, and if one has a meat grind- er may be made very appetizing. Meat Pie: One péund sirloin flank. cut into small pleces. Brown well in = spider, then put into basin with one quart sliced potatoes, and two slfcea onions, season with salt and pepper, and add a little water. Cook until po- tatoes are done, then cover with a biscuit dough, rolled rather thin, and bake until crust is done. Meat Gravy—Put one pound of lean beef through the grinder. Cook in spider until well browned, pour off nearly all the fat, and add water. Let boll & few minutes then thicken with our. half pound beef, dried beef ends, trim and eut into pleces, then run through the grinder. Brown in spider with a little butter, Dried Beef and Macaroni: Cook about one third pound macaroni ti] well done, using only what water will be absorbed, and do mot drain. Then preparc driéd beef the same as for hash., When well browned add the and. season with pound use two cartons of cream tar, then one cartqn of flour - of ‘soda. I buy soda in pounds for 15 caes and § cents a pourd, ‘so it pound of baking powder cos Cream tartar, 1-2 Ib, . Cornstarch, 1-4 Ib. Soda, 1-4 1b. . A tota] cost of twenty-two an one fourth cents for one pound of bak- ing powder, and when flour is used in- stead of cornstarch the cost will be slightly lower. 3 THE POSTMASTER. MANY CAKES AND DESSERTS FROM ONE RECIPE. Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: Following is a one egg cake recipe and various ways of using it. Perhaps you have a favorite recipe of your own which you can use In- x cat - my like One cup of sugar, but- ter egg size, and one egg. Put these all into the bowl together and. beat until thoroughly mixed, then add one cup of milk, and oné teaspoon of flavoring extract: then add two cups of flour to which has been added_two teaspoons' of baking powder.. Beat well before putting into pans, I think that the secret of a good, fine cake is in the beating. To test the cake when baking, just touch with the finger and if the cake raises right up quickly again without leaving a dent it is done. If you test it with a broom core you are apt to ecook it too hard. Marble Cake: Take one third of mixture and add one tablespoon mo- asses, one teaspoon cinnamon, one half teaspooh of nutmeg, one pinch of clove, and a few raisins. Put a lay- er of the remaining mixture into a cake pan, then put in the dark mix- ture and then the remainder of the white mixture, or it may be baked in three lavers using the dark mixture for the middle layer. Cottage Pudding: ~ Mix the same as Plain cake and use nutmeg for flavor- ing. Bake in efther a round pan or In cup cake tins and serve with the following sau, Chocolate Sauce: . One half cup of sugar, two. tablespoons of. cocoa, one tablespoon of cgrnstarch and one cup of cola water.' Mix in order glven. Put on range and boil until thick. Re- move from fire and add one teaspoon of vanilla an dome teaspoon of but- ter. This also makes an excellent sauce to pour over vanilla ice cream. ‘Poached Egg Pudding: Bake plain cake in loaf. When cold, cut imto slices. Cover each slice with whip- ped cream, and put a half of a peach in the center of each. en served it looks just like a poached ege. Surprises: - Bake cake recipe in cup cake tins. When cold carefully cut slice from the top of each one and scoop out some of the center and fill with whipped cream. Put in the top and frost in the usual way. These are nice to have at a party and will sur- priss. everyone when they bite into them. 5 Cake With Gelatine—Cut cake into squares, about the size of a cube loaf sugar. Make some gelatine, pre- ferably pink, and when real cold pour over the squares of cake and let hara- en. Sponge cake is nice used in this way, Some people are foud of ome frosting and some of another, so it is well sometimes in frosting and filling a layer cake to cat the cake in half and frost each half differently. Mocha Frosting—One large cup of confectioner's sugar, one teaspoon of cocoa, small piece of butter and add enough strained coffee to mix smooth. Marshmallow Frosting—Add ona third of a cup of water to one cup of sranulated - sugar and boil until it strings from spoon. Add this to a stiffly beaten egg white and then add one large teaspoon of marshmallow creme, and beat until cold. The marshmellow creme can be bought in ten or twenty-five cet cans at most grocers, and can be added to any frosting to keep it soft. It is zreatly improved by the addition of Coacoanut or chopped nuts. Hoping some of these recipes prove helpful to the Sisters, 1 Close with best wishes to all. will will NAN. GOOD CAKE RECIPES.

Do not stir or beat eggs into the. mixture; draw spoon back and forth; do not flavor cake or grease tin. Eake in & moderate oven. Hope the Sisters will try these and have as good luck as I do with them DORINDA. TESTED RECIPES. Dear_Editor and Social. Corner.

She was named Lor- na. The two friends took off her lit- tle checked apron and the heavy have ne more. trouble. So the two friends tried what the good lady told them; and sure enough litle Lorna weat off to sleep eaying ‘You baby”.in a drowsy voice to the last.

To keep Meat from FI Make some sacks of muslin and into this put wkatever meats you may have; tie up tightly, and hang in a cool, dark place. Another good methods is to hang tove which 1s not used during.the summer months and one that'is attached to the chimney, Many families line their stoves with paper and put a bar across and on this bar hang their meats. - The fresh air coming down the chimney always preserves their flavor, and also keeps them well protected from files. To make Lard—Take the leat fat from the inside ‘of a bacon hog, cut it smali, and put it in an iron Kettle, which must be perfectly free from any musty taste; set it over a steady moderate fire, until rnothing _but scraps remain of the meat; the heat must be kept up, but gentle, that it may not burn the lard; spread. a coarse cloth in a wine sieve, and strain the liquid-into tin_basins which will hold two or three: quarts: squeeze out alt the fat from the scraps. When the lard in the pans is cold, press a piece - of new. muslin -close . upon it, trim it off at the edge of the pan, and keep it in.a cold place. It may be kept in wooden kegs with close cov- ers. Lard made with one-third as much- beef suet as fat, is supposed by many persons to keep better. MOUNTAIN LAUREL. NEDRA COMES BACK.

READY ALWAYS ANSWERS “YES" Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: I have a few minutes to spare, s0 I will improve them by writing to our beloved Corner. I trust you are all well and enjoy- ing these lovely fall days. With the leaves all off the trees I have a splen- did view of one of our principal streets. I can see five church spires and can hear the sweet tone of their bells calling the people to worship. 1 presume I have touched elbows with some of the members of Club No. 1 whom I do not know, but if they know me they should come right forward and say: “How do you do, Ready?” just as Practical Polly did. Hulda: I was glad to meet with you at Married and Happy's picnic: ‘am glad to-get “Who is Who?" straighten- ed out. Practical Polly: that call. Theoda: The man of the house has ordered a woodbox. 1 shall be very glad when he has one. You can guess why. T do not know whether he has ordered a can of vellow paint or not. Lone Sister: 1 shall expect a call from you. You shall see the woodbox if the man of the house has one. Calla Lily: When you are in the city where the gentleman lves you wrote me about, call. I am easy to find. Pollyanna: You will not be waiting long. Merry Andrew: I think you and the other fellow are our most popular writers just at present. We have your I wish he would write us his side of the story and sce how his would sound. If -you had not been looking at him you would not have known he was looking at.you. What a shock he must have received when you answered him as vou did! At this late date we cannot spare one of our broad-minded _brothers from the Social Corner, and I trust “that man,” as you call him, does not judge all ‘sisters by your answer. I have had quite a few ask me if 1 am a Social Corner' writer and I al- ways speak up: “Yes! Midget: I have thought of our pleas- ant talk. . Peggy Anne: I am sorry I did not see you. Call when you are so near again. : 1 am as‘eve: 1 am waiting for SISTER RDADY. YOU IN YOUR LITTLE CORNER AND | IN MINE. ; Dear Social Corner Sisters:—I come you as a velled stranger, not hav- ever met any of you, neither are L R R T L Tarm . of The Bulletin under date of 16th, and my attention was at- to the Social Cornmer, I read reral of the letters and felt a sym- 1 that we all have our “little corners,” in which to fulfill' our mission des- imed through the journey of Hfe. No one piace has so many -corners as the hoime, and mo one more cares or duties to perform, as the wife and motter of the househoid. s ‘The bond of c iality is a close tic. hence, these letters and susges- tions from various writers are very helpful one to the other. In humen nature we find such a var- iance. of likes and dislikes, that it is not frequent we are in contact with the weman who can do justice to all the “corners” that are under -her care. For instance, some take first pride in preparing the food, and with suc- cess, for everyhody enjoys a good squaie meal, but so much time she devoter. to her cooking and baking, that the sink is seldom free from dirty dishes, and the floors and rugs _are scarcely swept orice a week. This type of housekeeper does not equalize her time, for the many ' things - she should do. ‘Another housewife, has her hobby in contir.ually dusting the furniture, washing windows, never permitfing a cobweb to fastoon the back. stair- way, or a finger print on the wood- work in the kitchen; yet ‘the children of that home, go to school day after day with holes in their stockings. and minus a button on their little coats. But, you say: “What's the remedy for ki faults? Why, simple enough, let each little ~“corner” re- ceive its share of the time, and not rob each other in the limited space. Certainly, we must eat, three times a day, but it is not necessary to make | cream puffs—while a blg basket of clothes is waiting to be ironed. The .woman who is competent to manage “every corner”, and not con- flict, ix truly a treasure in the home, and there might be many of them, if they would take a Httle thought and study ‘and the results for husband and chil‘ren would be most gratifying. The “corners” are not all confined to the four walls of the dwelling house, for as we go into social life we find many “corners” in character. We will not dwell on that problem in this chapter, but let us try to devise some plan where we may make the most of our time in the daily routine of our household affairs. Beping these sentiments may be consistent with the ideal thought and purpcse of the “social corner”, .and leaving with you, the words of ray little “text” “You, in your little cor- ner ard, I in mine” OLD-FASHIONED RAISED DOUGH- CAKE. Dear Eaitor and Social Corner Sis- ters: May I join, your Corner? I have been a reader for a long. time and have enjoyed the letters from the sisters and have found many helpful hints in them, but this.is the first.time I have got up my nerve to write. . I am sending a recipe for Old Fashioned Raised_Dough Cake.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are a few general hints which nearly every one firds useful: i To Separate Postage Stamps—Place them under a plece of thin paper and run a hot iron lightly over the paper. Taking Out Stains—If when out in the rain the dye comes out of your coat or sweater and discolors your waist, put the waist in milk and let it =tand over night. It will remove all stains, even from silk waists, Too Salty Food—One often puts too mucl. salt in food while cooking it. To remove the salt, place a wet cloth over the top of the vessel in which the food is cocking and the steam will draw the salt lato the wef cloth. ..Banishing Rust—To remove rust from a knife, plunge the biade into an onion and leave it there for an hour or 50. Then polish it in the usual way. To Prevent Scorch—Place salt in the oven under your baking tins and the conterts will not scorch on the bottom. To Remove Indelible Ink—Bqual parts of ammonia and turpentine will remove the most obstinate indelible ink. Saturate well and rub hard. - Teakettle Logio—In localities where there is lime in the water an oyster shell kept in the teakettle will receive the lime deposits instead of the kettle. It will also prevent rust on the bottom of the teakettle. When Breaking Eggs—If a funnel is placed over a glass and the egss cracked into it, one at a time, it is easy to keep the yolk and white apart, as the white runs down into the glass and the yolks can be tilted out of the top. Saving Clothespins—If the clothes- pins are thrown into the boiler whilo the clothes are being rinsed, the pins will not split. Hot Water Bottle—When a hot water Dottle leaks it may still be used for heating - purposes if filied ~with - hot sand or sait. Butter Will Take the. soreness from a bruise and prevent discoloration. A White Silk Stocking Hint—A tea- spoon of turpentie in the last rinsing wate~ will keep your white silk stock- ings frem turning yellow. Oven Test—To test the heat of your gven, nlaco s, pieceil while faper. i{ it and if the heat great the paper will turn black: if it turns a light yel- low, it is fit for sponge cake and’the light kinds of biscuit; if a dark brown, it is fit for pastry, and If, it turns a dark yellow it is ready for the baking of the heavier kinds of cake.
