I think it was Billle who asked if it paid to be honest. I don’t remem- ber of many of the Sisters replying to it. They may not have found out yet if it dox I don't suppose from renumerative point of view it does, ill it is a comforting thought to we have restored to a person which rightfully belonged to Neither is it policy to reward After awhile we are hones we are looking for the re we do the works here the re- ward comes afterwards, given by an impartial judge. “To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the t not many of the d to your inquiry in regard to an intemperate husband. It is rather of a hard proposition to bring nvefore anyone as you only stated your side of the story. Why don’t you get him to tell his, then we could judge the case more fairly. It seems to me, if I got my hands on the provisions, there would be much left to take to the neighbor’s. I should cook them by an instn taineous pro- cess, that would shock him so he wouldn’t be able to leave the house. Did you ever hear the story of the man and wife who decided to tell each other there faults? The man, the more generous of the two, decided to hear his first. I think the wife had a_ vocabulary of words as large as a dictionary. ‘After she had finished her harrangue, she said, “now tell me mine”. He said “my dear, you haven’'t any, I have them all” The trouble with us all is we are so busy keeping tabs on our neighbor’s faults, that when our own faults stare us in the face we don't recognize them—we ;hink they all belong to our neigh- ors. Sunshine No. 2: There may have been a time when you and Polyanna were the same size, but times have changed. Pollyanna has John Henry put up for the winter, and she is taking long hikes to reduce her flesh. She has no use for those extra but- tons. If Crimson Rambler should enter- tain Club No. 2 again she will walk. Jennie: I was very much pleased about your description of the front door, but don't you think if it looks neat and attractive around the back door, it is a better introduction to the interior? Usually, if you get in the back door and through the kitchen the rest is plain sailing. How much easier housework -is if the kitchen is only orderly and does not look as if you had just moved in and expected to_leave before sundown. Mother Hubbard: What has be- come of you and Merryy; Andrew? Have yvou joined forces and gone to fight the Germans? Potlatch: You used to write such interesting letters, but haven't read one for a long time. 1 hope you are not a deserted, the Corner needs such writers. Let us hear from you once more. I hope the Sisters will enjoy read- ing this letter as much as I have writing it. I will close by wishing all of the Brothers and Sisters a Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. Best wishes for the Corner, may it live! long BO PEEP. MEDICATED PRUNES. Dear Soctal Corner Editor and Sis- ters: —Greetings to you all. ow swiftly the weeks go by, I think when the Saturday Bulletin reaches me that 1 will surely send a message, for the next paper, but with various home duties, the time passes on and I've not written. Patty: 1 was ill, and so, unable to attend the J. W. Club of Nov. 17th. ‘We mi you December 15th gathering—and where were Sisters Pesgy Ann, Fringed Gen. tian and the rest.

Mr. Man and I have decided to start this New Year and give each one of our boys ten cents each Satur- y. Of course, this is not a great deal, but our oldest boy is only seven and the youngest four and there are three of them. We have been talk- ing it all over with them so they un- derstand fully what we expect of them. They come in through the base- ment when through play, and turn the lights on, but very often neglect to turn them off again so we are going to fine them one cent for each time they leave the lights burning. We do not expect to have to fine them very often, for they will not want to lose their pennies and it will be a great saving to us in our light bill, as some- times the lights burn two or three hours before we discover them. We shall also take a penny for anything damaged in any way around the house, and, they will have to save up and pay for any broken windows, no matter who they belong to. On their visits to the ten cent store their wants are numerous, but now they will have to buy what they want themselves and they wlill soon know the value of money. I shall try to encourage them to save a penny or two each week, but shall not force them to as I want them to do as they please with it. I do mot want them to spend every cent the day they get it, but neither do I want them to be too saving with it. As they grow older we shall have a few more duties for them and will increase the amount. They seem to think now that ten cents each week will do wonders, and it almost seems too bad to inform them otherwise but when they come to know the value of things and feel a litle responsibility for them they will be much less careless and they will have learned a valuable lesson. This will mean a great saving to us, also. In some future letter I will try and tell you how our experiment works out. That you all may have a_bright, happy and prosperous New Year is the sincere wish of NAN. GREETINGS TO ALL. Mr. Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters:—Just a few words to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a_ Happy New Year. If the Editor could have been at Aunty No. 1 and looked over that company of sixty ladies, he would not have to worry over the Social Corner page. At the rest room in w- storms do not stop them. As I listened to the entertainment I was reminded of a little incident that happened near here. A gentle- man was telling me he had been to hear a woman speaker. He said: “I tell you, she was smart!"” His wife very quietly said: “You have one just as smart at home if you only knew i I will close with a short verse. This world is not so bad a world As some would like to make it; 3ut whether it is good, whether it is bad Depends on how you take it! DOROTHY PERKINS NO. 1. TWO PRETTY CHRISTMAS GIFTS. Dear Editor and Social Corner S ters:—It is snowing this morning. Wonder if we will have snow for Christmas? Goody Two ials Mrs. B.? Here are some directions for cro- cheted bedroom slippers. To make the slippers requires nearly two hanks of colored worsted and one of white for the top or edge. Crochet 16 st. for first row. This will allow one st. for turning, crochet 7, increase 2 extra st. in Sth st., cro- chet seven st. and 1 ch. Turn row 2 crochet across. In doing this take up he st. from the back to form a rib hout increasing. You will then have formed one rib of the vamp of the slipper. Continue making ribs increasing 2 st. only in center of every other row or every rib until there are twenty six Shoes: Are your init- ribs. This forms the front of the slipper. For the sides take up 24 st. work four ribs, then increase 1 st. on upper side by making 2 ch. instead of one. Continue widening every rib until there are 34 st., work 14 ribs without increasing. Decrease in like manner until you have 24 st. Work 4 ribs, connect at left side. This is now ready for top. Make an edging through which to run ribbon and then fill_each place with shells making it ruffly. A Tiny Sachet is a nice little gift— Chain 30 and join 1 ch 5, (miss 13 tr in next 3 st) worked off as before ch 2, 3 times, ch 2, miss 1, 1 tr, (ch 2, 3 tr in same st with 3 tr on other side, working off as before) 3 times, ch 2 and join to 3rd of 5 chain. Row 2—ch 3, (a cluster in space ch 2) 3 times, cluster in space, tr in tr, repeat on other side and join. Row 3—ch 5, (cluster in space ch 2) 3 times, ch 2, tr in last tr of next cluster, ch 2, tr in 1st of next, ch 2, repeat from * joining last 2 ch to 3rd of 5 ch. Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows which will form a square. Make a tiny sachet of cotton batting, filled with sachet powder, any favorite odor, siip in"tiny bag, close open end with dou- bles, worked in each st of both sides and finish with a ch 2 or 3 in. in length. Hope the sisters will try these and have good luck. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. LORETTA. DECEMBER MEET OF CLUB NO. 1. Dear Editor and Writers: Altho' the sky looked ominous and flakes of snow came scurrying through the air, por- tending a snowy, stormy day, it did not quell the enthusiasm, or spoil the plans of over thirty loyal Social Cor- ner sisters, who wended their way to ;‘t‘l: club room on Valley street, on Dec. . The smiling faces and warm wel- come of our hostesses, as we entered the door, made us forget the clouds and storm without and glad that we had braved the elements to be with them. After the door with the yellow bow was opened to admit the sisters who Grand Prise, Paname-Pacific Expecition, San Franciscs, 1955 Grand Prize, Panamsa-Califorsia Exposition, San Diege, 1915 Baker’s Breakfast Cocoa The Food Drink Without a Fault Made of high-grade cocoa beans, skilfully blended and cocoa bean. were greeted by our efficient hostesses, | tion to the 12th of January, when Tidy Addly, Clio, Keturah and Olive will entertain. With best wishes for a very Merry Christmas. and much in evidence were the taste- fully dcorated tables with the Social Corner color, laden with the most ap- petizing viands of housewifely skill: sandwiches in abundance, salad, pickles, cakes galore, fruit, candy and coftee.

It was evident Christmas was close at hand, by the way the industrious sisters did work with the crochet hook, tatting shuttle and needle, not men- tioning the way their tongues flew. Pretty handwork was examined and tdeas exchanged. The largest display of fancy hand- made articles was shown by Goody- Two-Shoes, and much admired. Our gathering proved a helpful one and an exceedingly pleasant one in meeting the sisters, especially Satur- day Eve, who came a long way by spe- cial invitation as the guest of Tidy Addly. We were glad to be honored with her presence, We also welcomed two new writers, Olive and Mexican Primrose.
