There’s & wondrous lot of power Tn an honest, wholesome smile; It often starts a blessing That will travel for a mile. ‘Why, when hearts are sad and heavy And the days are dark the while, You can notice that things brighten - From the moment that you smile. ‘What the rose is to the bower, ‘What the jewel to the ring, ‘What the song is to the robin his seat, but most persons find it more convenient to stand while carv- ing.

Then cut down- ward as many. slices from the breast as there are persons to be served: then make an opening into the ca ity of the bird at a place now hidden by the leg (drumstick) from the thigh, or second joint; the platter should be large enough to allow this to be done upon it, but if there is not room, a plate must be used. ‘gladso: To hit the joint, notice the move- '!;h""&, TR Jnys o€ sucing. ments in an uncooked turkey;: the sep- That oft our souls begulle, aration is easily made with the right All this, and more, to people cut.

Unless the preferences are known, it is proper to_ask if dressing will be taken. There is a choice bit just below where the thigh is removed, known to many as the tenderloin, which is easily removed. The side-bone is re- moved by placing the knife in close to the rump and pressing it towards the head, when a thin plate of bome will come away with some choice pick- ings upon it. There is a side-bone to which the wing is attached, the re- moval of which is not difficult, but it cannot well be described. The wing gives one good cut, that nearest the body, and this may be served as white meat. If one side of the turkey is not enough for the com- pany, the other is to be proceeded with in the same manner. The best way to learn to carve is to carefully watch an expert, and note his operations. A close examination of the turkey before it is cooked will help in giving a knowledge of the Pposition of the joints. Best wishes to all. MOUNTAL —B. W.

S ot So write often, that we may know your opinion re- garding the questions broached by us in The Corner. Days and months have rolled on, and Thanksgiving day is at hand. Many of us regard it as a festive day, and so it is; but older people regard it also as a day io give thanks for Our Father's guldance throughout the year. _ Many changes have been wrought in many families. Worrles and trou- bles have come to many, for it has been 2 disappointing year.in New England regarding crops, although they have done well elsewhere. Then death has entered many homes, and hearts are sad and aching because a link in the family chain has been broken and some dear one has gone to the Eternal Home. Yet, no matter what has be- fallen us, every one has cause for thankfulness on this day. Thanks that though mariy losses have been sustain- ed, some things remain, Thanks for the guiding hand that has sustained us and given us strength and courage to persevere and rise above our troubles while endeavoring to meet the need of the day. Thanks for health. Thanks to Him by those whose plans have been so frustrated that they know not which way to turn, for pointing out ways and means and enabling one to begin anew, and if again and again we fail, for strength ‘and patience to enable us to try and fry again and again until one meets With success. - Thanks to Him for sym- pathy. strength, grace and healing power by those who are broken down with grief and sorrow. Remember, dear friends and Sisters, that the transition of our dear ones is their gain, so let us.on. this:day be glad for them, and inslead of spending the @ay by giving up to our grief and sorrow, let us comfort, ourselves by re- calling’ memories of the sayings and doings ofuthe dear absent ones on such days. Then we shall feel their influ- ence and they will seem near and not far away. Also in endeavoring to cheer and help others we will be heiped our- selves. It seems to me that the greatest cause for thankfulness is the promise given us by our Heavenly Father that it we endeavor to live aright, that ‘When our life work is finished we shall join those who have gone on before, never more to be parted. Let our hearts on this particular day be full of thankfulness to the Maker and Giver of all things and let us endeavor to make the family re- union one of joy and happiness. Let it be a never-to-be-forgotien day | Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: As 1 take pleasure in addressing you for_the’ second time. the thought of Buhshine appeals to me as a subject E to_write upon. g There is much that can be said on this tople, with ts many branches and many suggestions that might prove helpful in the every-day walk of life. First we consider the sun the great- est power for light, and from which & largely all vegetation of our earth de- pends for its growth and development, and without it how desolate and cold would. this world of ours be. g Those of us who enjoy the care and cultivatioh of plants and flowers, how particular we are that especially the young and tender shoots of the early spring I receive all the sunshine possible to nourish and strengthen their progress. ¢In the autumn days, how select we J ¢ are that the potted plants shall oc- Lpy the space of the south bay win- dow, that there they may obtain all the 'sunlight, thus to_enable them to vield their beautiful blooms. Ah how much we do enjoy all those - 'I-mw material that are aided by sun- ine. Let our thoughts now revert to that ideal of sunshine that sheds its light from character, that lifts up a_droop- ing head and cheers a saddened heart. Are we careful, with the young, to speak the gentle’ word, or even lend = smile to a little up-turned face, that may be eager for somebody’s “sun- shine” Do we recall that once, we lived in childhood days and well we remember the thorns that touched our sensitive pride and with pleasure we love to think of the roses that some kind heart gave to make us happy. Those of us who enjoy life at its mid-day, are we thinking as we look upon our elders, that perchance we, too, shall some day walk with a feeble step, that our vision may be dimmed, that our hearing will be amiss, and are we giving to those friends, stran- gers or kindred, our sunshine of pa- tience, in the twilight? Perhaps most of us live such a busy life, with our minds centered on our- selves, we do not take the time to think ‘or give out much sunshine to but how much we do miss the nce from.the sky when the clouds have hung heavy and the mists have filed ths sir, and how grateful we are to see the sun shine once more.

At the farther side were several boys fishing from a big “Yep, we're having fine luck,” the kinds of fleh they were catching. It being an extremely hot day, we next visited the beach and took & dip in the cool, refreshing water. Pleas- ant thoughts of that day will long be remembered. Dear members of The Coruer, 1 for one wish to thank you for those tender words of forebearance. I wish to men- tion your names, too, at least some of them: Aunty No. 1, Aunt Mary, Married and Happy, Grace, and all the others as well. Merry Andrew: Think I see you on that “fateful day” at the fair. but I cannot believe I was the one that both- ered you so. I love to look at all the beautiful in life that God has made, whether it be flowers, the sunset, or a beautiful face. But, Merry Andrew, I respect you, whether you were really serious or joking. I am inclined to think it was rather more the latter. A thousand pardons to you, anyway. Among the sweetest words in this wOrld are these: Sister-Brother. Yantic. COULDN'T HAVE A SOCIAL COR- NER ALONE. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters and Brothers: I for one would not call it a Social Corner if there was not a Brother in it. They are just as handy as can be. If you shouid want a pail of water or the woodbox filled you would only have to make your wishes known, for some of the gentle- men do lqve to wait on the ladies—so well that I believe they would be will- ing to go without their dinner some- times to be near some Social Corner Sister. Brother Rural Delivery was _so pleased to hear that some of the Sis- ters wanted him in the Social Corner that he threw his hat heavenward. Not for once did he think how cold the top of his head would be if it never came down! We hope his birthday Monday did remind him that he was old enough not to throw his hat so high in cold weather. Merry ‘Andrew: I don't think you mean what you say. I should eay you must have been disappointed some day. Hope you will have a better opinion of the Brothers. Kind wishes for all. GADABOUT. WEATHER SIGNS. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: I am sending a few old-fashioned weather signs. Of coursc. the best weather prophet lin the world is the United States weather-bureau, which is right at least four times out of five. Here are a few weather signs of less scientific value, which are older probably than anyone living today. Experience’ has shown them to be fairly reliable, and some of them can be_explained’ on a scientific basis: Moonlight nights have the heaviest trosts. The higher the clouds, the finer the weather. The farther the sight the nearer the rain. Dew is an indication of fine weath- er. When stars flicker in a dark back- ground. rain or snow follows soon. Expect a strong wind with stormy weather when smoke from chimneys hangs near the ground Here are a few in verse. They have the advantage of being easily remem- bered: Clear moon. frost soon. Year of snow, fruit will grow. Rain before seven, fine before eleven. It the sun sets in gray, the next will be_a rainy day. When the wind is in the South the rain is in its mouth. The wind in the west suits everyone best, Evening red and morning gray, help the traveler on his way. g Evening gray and morning red, brines down rain upon his head. When the clouds appear like rocks and towers, the earth’s refreshed by trequent showers. If you can get the official weather Teport by 'phone, you'd better count on that first. . But the proverbs and jin- gles just given are better than a com- mon guess.

His endearing and coaxing ways may have caused them to overlook some mie: chievous pranks, which should have been corrected, for he became a merry go-lucky lad, who loved to have his own way. His sportive manner and careless- ness of what was right and wrons, often irritated his usual calm,. gentle and kind father. The son's proud disposition suffered one day under his father's stern re- buke over some indiscretion, and that night he ran away before his anger subsided, or he would have realized that his father was in the right.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: What a lovely day Nov. 10th was —just_the day for a Social Corner gathering; and what a gathering there was! 1 had the great pleasure of meeting again some of the Sisters of the Social Corner. I was very sorry my time was limited. It was a pleasure to talk with those I had met with at Married and Happy's, and 1 was sorry 1 could not have met with more of those who were strangers to me. A walk of ten min- utes and I was at the door that had the Social Corner color tled on the heandle. To open the door and enter a room and see a group of such pleasant faces and hear the hum of conversa- tion and see two well-filled tables made my heart beat with joy, and I felt like saying: ‘It is good to be here!™ Biddy was the first to greet me, and as the others followed I thought how thankful 1 am I ever had the courage to write that first letter. As I had left my badge at home, a very kind and thoughtful Sister came and handed me a vellow ribon and soon I had on that lovely badge which represents such a large sisterhood. Biddy and Theoda proved them: to be excellent hostesses.

The stew should only simmer all the while it is cooking, from one and a half to two hours is required for a chicken a year old. A few minutes before serving draw the kettle to the front of ®ae stove and let boil up, add dumplings and cook for fifteen minutes. Take all up and place chicken into the cen- ter of platter placing the dumplings around the edge, parsley dotted here and there among the white dumpling makes the dish most attractive. A chicken cooked in this way will go as far as two roasted. Dumplings—One pint_sifted flour, a teaspoon baking powder, half tdaie spoon salt, wet with small cup milk, | sprinkle a little flour on the beard, turn the dough imto it, thickness of half an small cakes, and cook just ffteen minutes. Remember that the soup should be voiling rapidly when the dumplings are put in, and that they should not sink to deep into the soup, that the cover should fit tight, so as not to let steam escape, and success is_insured. Reliable flour makes ex- cellent dumplings but is a little more expensive. Potatoes with the dinner are not a necessity as the dumplings take their place. A dish of mashed turnips, celery, a tumbler of cranberry jelly, or sauc is required. Mince or pumpkin ple with fruit completes a most whole- some dinner. NT NANCY. RURAL DELIVERY'S BIRTHDAY. Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends: Joe Johnstone has proved himself a man by pleading guilty of staring so hard at a strange woman. I think the next falr he attends he will gc_a little slow. Keziah Doolittle: I have not chang- ed my mind, and think I know you well. You ask me if I know Prim- rose. I think she is quite near to ou and much of the time jn your family. She writes a_fine hand. I should be glad to hear from her again. Billle and Cally Lilly: I think we were all fortunate to be born in No- vember, the month of feasting and thanksgiving throughout the land. Thanks for congratulations. What a lot of new writers The Cor- ner has had of late, or have a num- ber of the old writers changed their title for a new one to compare with the new suit or fall hat? On November Sth, my birthday, I receiyed a fine collection of cards from The Social Corner Sisters who will please accept my thanks for their kind remembrance. The cards came from the following Sisters. Aunt Abd- by, Potlatch, Keziah Doolittle, Prim- rose and Peggie Anne, Joan: Was glad to see your letter in The Corner once more.

MEETING OF CLUB NO. 1. Dear ' Editor ana Social Corner Friends: Once again it was our pleas- ure to meet with Club No. 1 and guests who gathered jn W. C. T. U. Nov. 10th for a social time. Bidy and Theoda were in charge and greeted us cordial- ly. About 35 in olir number, including two members of Club No, 2—Sally Sycamore and Joan were present—Joan as sprightly as ever, after her fall at Aunty‘No. 1's. It was a Darrow esc; for her, and all were thankful no bad results marred the day’s pleasure. The. hall was gay with festoons of The Corner color reaching from chan- delier to tables, drapings and banners on wall, screen and plano, all pleasing to the eye.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: 1 guess we all enjoy a sand- wich when we feel real hungry, so I am going to write a number of recipes for_sandwiches. Sandwiches as a distinct dish are specifically _English and _American. They are used particularly for cold repasts, cold lunches and especially for outdoor refreshments at summer picnics and excursions. Sandwiches are easily made and re- quire for their perfection only dainti- ness. Their variety 1s great, and largely depends upon the ingenuity of the maker. Chicken Salad Sandwiches—Between two thin, oblong slices of bread, but- tered, place a layer of chicken salad on a 'lettuce leaf. In making chicken salad for sandwiches, chop the chick- en and celery much finer than for or- dinary purposes. b-house Sandwich—Butter hot 1l arrange half the slices on a large platter: lay a lettuce leaf on each slice and brush lightly with French dressing seasoned with mus- ard; then cover with pleces of two or three kinds' of meat—cold breast of turkey sliced and a plece of fresh Iy fried bacon, or cold sliced tongue and fresh fried ham. Add a slice of cucumber or green tomato _pickle; cover with the remaining slices of toast and garnish with lettuce and olives, Keep as warm as possible. Fine for luncheons. Egg Sandwiches—Slice hard . boiled eggs or chop fine: season with a pea- nut-butter salad dressing: spredd on lettuce leaves-and lay Detween slices of buttered bread. Lobster Sandwiches—Chop the lob- ster meat fine: season with salad dressing, to which a_teas) 1 of Worcestershire ‘sauce has been added. !"lr indwich—Thin slices of bread, cut in fancy shapes and buttered, with -filling between each two. The fig- hould be prepared as follows: :honm figs, 1-3 cup . 1-3 cup bolling water and 2 tablespoons of lemon julce. Mix these ingredients and cook in a double botler until thick enough to spread. You can never guess who I am, I'm-sure. However, I hope to know yqu @ersonally some time. Aont Judy: Where are you keeping yourself?
