FLETCHER'S casSTORIA A CONFESSION. Bditor Social Corner: After reading the letters of Ruth and Ready I can't kcep from owning up. I am the guilty man Merry Andrew has warn- ed you all against . It is the first time in my life that I was ever charged with staring at I or annoying a strange woman :and-I think Merry Andrew will .realize how her own suspicions made her charge me with ungentlemanly behavior and being a dangerous character. .. Marcia asked me to look up the So- cial Corner-tent and to make a-note of how the ladies looked so I could tell her all about it. since she was not able to go-to the fair, and I told her I would. - I found the tent and a group of nicer looking women I mever saw, for they-all looked like kind, good- natured people. I couldn’t bring my- self to the point of speaking to'.one of them till T saw a woman who, re- minded me of my mother, and she Was always a'safe woman to speak to, so I ventured to ask her if she-wds a Social Corner sister, and was trying to tell her I felt like a Soclal Corner |3 sister ‘because my. wife Marcia, had figured as a Mayildwer, or_something of the kind, in The:Corner ‘several times and ‘was awfully interested . in it. 1 was surprised .when she wasn't quite civil and began to act as -if she wanted to call the police. I was so amazed I think I must have been guilty of staring at her and staring hard. She glared at me as any woman is likely to who wants to horsewhip a man, I told Marcia what a fine lot of Social Corner ladies I saw in The Bulletin tent, but I have never told her about this experience of mine, for 1 did not want her to think I was guilty of such behavior. Marcia tells me “she is sorry the impudent scoundrel who stared at Merry An- drew and annoved her so was mnot arrested for he deserves at least three months in Jail. man. She will not know I am_ that man when she reads this. because she don’t mistrust me and she knows I never wrote a piece for a paper in my life, and that I am too much of a gentle- man to .be capable. of annoying a: woman. I shall' be surprised myself when I see this in print and shall be likely to hear what she thinks of this story. . 7 Merry Andrew looked so good to me that I keenly feel the crushing She’s down on that ' weightsot-her bad opinion. You mever can tell what kind of suspicions fine appearing folks are carrying around with them. I wish she had been as sweet and agreeable as I thought she was going to be. 1 hope this explanation Will soothe her troubled breast and help to.make her feel pleasanter toward her fellow- men. Sincerely yours, JOE JOHNSTONE. ECONOMY IN THE KITCHEN., Dear Editor and Members of the Social Corner: I enjoyed reading the letters in the Social Corner of Oct. 30, and thought every one of them worthy of praise for the information they con- tained. Here are some dependable recipes: Left-Overs—An economical house- wife can, with careful planning, save erouzh from tiue fragments of two meals to prepare a dainty and palata- ble third meal. This_third meal of course would be either breakfast, lunch or supper, not dinner, the heartlest meal of the day. In ‘doing this she will realize the truth of the old proverb, *“Waste not, want not.” The first suggestion is never to throw away even a crumb of bread, but save it afd put. with other, pleces; if you have -a loaf about to.mold, cut’in thin slices, place. all together in a dripping pan and set in an oven to dry, and you will find that when pounded and rolled it will be very nice for .dressing, styfing, puddings, grid- dle_cakes, etc. ‘When to be used for breading meats, setc, it must be made very fine. Keep in a cqvered box or in a paper bag, tied securely and hung in a dry place. 1t is much more ecoromical to prepare meats with a dressing of some kind, since they go so much further. To-economize the scraps left from boiled ham, chop fine, add some of the fat, also chopped, and put'in a baking plate, first a layer of bread crumbs, then 'a layer of mixed fat and lean, then another layer of crumbs, and s0 on till:all is used, putting a few bits of fat over the top; pour over it a Iittle water, or a dressing of some kind, and in oven till a nice brown. This is deliclous for breakfast or for a picked up dinner after having made a soup from the bone, well cracked and sim- méred for three hours with - a few siiced potatoes and rice, or dried corn and beans which have first been soak- ed and parboiled. In boiling hams, al- ways select an old ham; for broiling ore recently cured. Aftet bolling and skinning a ham, “sprinkle ,well witk sugar and brown in oven. After you have used all the ham that will cut nicely from the bone, and after chipping the remainder tender. meat from frizzled ham, boil the bone with cabbage. The fat which you skim from the surface of boiled meats, every piece of sUct -from chops and steaks, in faa:, 2 kinds of fat, should be saved, tried ovt, clarified and then strained into good business letters; good help- i s of a pound of cold. beef cut into small piécss, heat slowly with half a pint cold .water, one table- spoon Chili sauce, a teaspoon sailt and half teaspoon pepper. Rub two table: spoons_flour with some butter and little of the hot gravy, add to the beef, let cook until the flour is done, and then serve with bits of dry toast. Shices of ‘onions may be first cooked and'the meat added to them, with or ‘without Chili sauce: S To make eggless squash pie, take the squash left from yesterdays’ dinner and press through a colander; to each pint of this allow one tablespoon -butter, beat in after warming, one cup brown sugar or molasses, -a little .salt, one ‘teaspoon cinnamon, .one teashoon gin ger and one-half teaspoon soda; a Ii tle allspice may be added, but it dark- ens the pies; roll a few crackers very fine, and add a handful to the batter, or thicken with two tablespoons flour gr one of‘cornstarch.

MOUNTAIN LAUREL. CLEANING AND COOKING FISH. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- s: 1 have just been reading The Corner page and I think the recipes are excelient. -1 thought I would give & liftle advice on the cleaning and sérv- ing of fish. - In cleaning fish, to remove the scales hold the fish by the tail and scrape fimly toward the head with a small sharp knife, held with the blade slanting toward the tail. Scrape slow- ly so that the scales will not fly, and rinse the knife frequently in - cold water. 3 If the ‘fish is to be served whole, leave the head and tail on and trim the fins; otherwise remove them. To open small fish, make an incision under the gills and squeeze out the contents by pressing upward -from the middle with the thumb and finger. To open large fish, split them from the gills half way down the body tow- a-ds the tail; remove the entrails and scrape and clean, opening far enough to remove all the blood from the back- bcne, and wiping the inside thoroughly With a cloth wrung out of cold, salled To skin a fish, remave the fins along the back and cut off a harrow strip of the skin the entire length of the back. TLen slip the knife under the skin that lies over the bony part of the gills and work slowly toward' the tail.. Do the “To' botie d fish, clean it frst and re- move the head. THen, beginning at the tail, run a sharp knife under the flesh clcse to the bone, scraping the flesh away clean from the bone. Work up one side toward the head; then repeat the same process on the other side of the bone. Lift the bone carefully and pull out any small bones that may be Jeft in the flesh. Boiled Fish—Wipe the fish carefully and, if fresh, sprinkle thoroughly with sait. Wrap it in a piece of cheesecloth to hold the fish together and to pre- vent the scum from slinging to the fish and rlace it in a kettle of boiling wa- ter. adding a teaspoon of salt and a tsblespcon of vinegar: to. every two quarts of water, also a slice of onion, a bay leaf and a sprig of parsley. Cook slowly; lift and drain carefully; open the cloth and turn the fish upon the serving platter, garnishing with pars- ley and slices of lemon. The fish is done when the flesh is firm and sep- arctes easily from the bone. Baked Fish—Wash and dry the fish, rubbing inside and out with -salt; stuff with forcemeat or bread stuffing and sew. Cut gashes two inches apart on both ‘sides, alternating, and into each slip a narrow strip of salt fat pork. Sprinkle with Salt and pepper and. piace in a hot oven without water. As soon as it begins to brown add hot ‘water and butter and baste every. ten: minutes. "~ Bakeé until done, allowing aa hour or more for a large fish, twen- ty or thirty minutes for a small one. Remove to a hot platter; draw out the. strings; wipe off all water or fat and remove pork; garnish with lemon and parsley. Broiled Fish—For broiling large fish | should be*split down the back and head and tail removed; salmon and halibut should be cut into one-inch slices, and suielts and other small fish left whole. Wipe the fish as dry as possible; sprinkle with salt and pepper and_if the fish is dry and white brush the flesh side well -with -olive oil or butter, Put in well greased broiler. Hold over a hét fire until nicely: browned: When cooked remove from broiler and place on platter; garnish with lemon. Fried Fish—Wash and dry the fish; season with salt and pepper: dip in fine bread crumbs, then in beaten ege, ther. in bread crumbs. Place in pan| with hot fat. Garnish, with parsley. Clam Fritters—Three eggs, one-half cup milk, one cup flour, 25 clams. Beat the eggs: add the flour gradually with milk, beating until smooth. Chop the clams; drain off juice; stir them into the batter; mix thoroughly and drop irto. hot fat. & EASTER LILY. AUNTY NO. 1 SENDS IN FAVORITE RECIPES. AL quests.
