Interested Reade The calendar with California poppies is much appre- clated. When 1 take eggs from the water- glass solution I rinse them off, using a whisk broom; to the second water is added some vinegar, which counteracts the silicate of soda, making them al- most like fresh ones to handle. 1 have found that waterglass makes very good cement and have been patching broken pieces together to form panes of glass. There are so many pieces at the greenhouses that may be had for the asking, and these can be lapped so as to keep the rain from getting between, and may be used for barn or henhouse windows. These panes can be put back of the house plants also, to keep them from getting frozen, if one does not wish to buy new ones, saving the extra work of lllanvlng them or putting papers back of em. A lamp chimney had a space of an inch broken from the bottom. A small plece of glass was cemented over it and it is doing duty again. If the patch comes off by getting it too wet, it can be put on again. If all could have double windows on the living rooms, or only the lower half, they would be much warmer, keeping the windows free from frost, excepting the outside ones on the coldest mornings, and save something on the coal bill.

SERVING CEREALS.’ ¥ Dear_Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: We'are told we must eat cereals once a day, as they are nourishing. We should also start the morning meal with fruit, which is an import- ant factor in our diet. Nothing more tempting than a daintily prepared dish of cereal-and fruit can be found with which to start the breakfast. An ap- ple cooked and served with oatmeal is very delicious. Pineappls is very good served with cream of wheat. Put the cereal in the dish, hollow out the center and fill with pineapple. Serve with a sauce made of the pineapple juice boiled down, or with cream. The use of uncooked cereals has a great advantage in sdving-time as well as labor. They combine well with fruits, Toasted Corn Flakes are especially nice served with sliced banana, and cream and sugar. A Kitchen Help: I have found this very useful, especially on baking day: Measure a length of tape sufficient to reach around the waist and tie. Make two holders and attach each one to a piece of tape about twenty inches long, or longer or shorter as you wish, and ‘stitch one to each side front of tape that extends around the waist. Put this on when baking and you will always find your holder ready when needed. Hope you will try this. LORETTA. GREETINGS FROM SILVER SIX- PENCE. Dear Editor and Social Friends: I want to wish a Year to one and all. Hovw easily we step from one year to another, apparently taking everything for granted, as it comes along. Our plans, and hopes, and desires, if they are as we would have them, all right, but if otherwise mot so acceptably, and inclined to murmur and wonder why we are refused while He whose loving care is over us continually, is leading us in the very best way, which Is His way. Etta Barber: Not just “once more,” but right along. We want you, so don't for a moment think of leaving our ranks. T often miss an old name and think it has been changed for a new one. Frozen, and Maine Lover: Where are you? It was good to hear from our far away Sister, Potlatch again; and Ready still keeps in touch with us; with her chats, which are always so cheerful and helpful. Billy: Your story was all right. No, I have not located you vet, though I think you are in S— and Bee in W-—— T think Aunt Hester is not far from here and have sometimes thought I would try and locate her: but “Who's Who?’ Perhaps I had better not. The most of our big family seem so far away. We are hoping the fares can be adjusted a little more satis- factorily. Sister Jennie: You gave me a new thought in reference to Christmas gifts. That those given for the pres- ent occasion may be more valued later on, which I have found true many times. yet never seemed to think of in your way. SILVER SIXPENSE. PEGGY ANNE ENJOYS THE éLUB MEETINGS. Dear Cornerites: It has been quite a while since I wrote to The Corner. T've attended several of the Club meetings and enjoyed every minute while there.

APPLES: AND THEIR USES. Dear Hditor and Friends of the So- have to|cial Corner: As it has been some time since I have written, I will 8dd a few lines this week which I hope may be of_interest to some of you. $ For every-day eating the x Sally Bellmayne would .sew, knit_or read and enjoy the scenery of her na- tive blue grass estate. It was from this porch this beautiful April morn- ing that her brother Hi ap] ‘hed her after one of his 1 visits to Lexington, and informed her that he was thin of selling Millle, who ‘was the maid to Miss Sally. She looked up from her sewing and said: “Why Henry, what are you thinking of 7" Henry Bellmayne was young, with blond hair, blue eyes and drooping mustache. Slouch hat coming down over one eve. I should say not over 25 years old. Miss Sally was several vears his senior. “I repeat, Henry Bellmayne, what are you thinking of? Didn’t you un- derstand the will of your father that he made before he went to the Mexi- can war? Didn’t you know that un- der no circumstances should a slave on this plantation go under the ham- mer: and of all to think of selling Millie! How. often your father jok- ingly would refer to Millie .as ‘next of Kin.' It is a wonder to me that you did not bargain for Mary as well” “0, it was for Mary, the deal was made; but I sald Mary should not g0 unless her mother went with-her, so 1 sold them both,” said Henry puffing away at his Havana. ~Miss Sally jumped to her feet, and drew her stately figure to its full height. So enraged she walked up to her brother and said: “My God, Henry, you must be crazy as I hinted to you that Millie is next of kin and Mary is of our own flesh and blood. What are you thinking of? I shall at once leave your house and go to Robert, who has wanted me to keep house for him and his children since his wife died! Richard Martin,” “I should rather see them both dead.” ‘With this assertion Miss Bellmayne went to her room to shed tears; yes, bitter tears over the actions of her brother, and to reproach herself for the care she had taken of him almost from his infancy, and now this un- gratefulness. Richard Martin was a man of fifty- five, if a day, gray with bushy eye- brows, plercing brown eyes, heavy but well trimmed mustache, strong chin and nose, with fine determined lines about the mouth. Miss Bellmayne at once made pre- paration for leaving the manor. In the meantime sending a message to her older brother, that she would ac- cept his invitation, and in not many days he came and took her to his home in Brandenburg. Just about this period troublous times were brewing all over the south. There was strong talk of the southern states seceding from the mnorthern. South Carolina and other southern states had already done so, but Ken- tuckey, had postponed action waiting for the decision of Virginia. Henry Bellmayne not knowing how affairs would turn concluded to sell as many of his slaves as he could man- age to do without. Indeed, he was so much in debt—‘debts of honor.” that he found that this was his only ave- nue of escape. In due time Richard Martin sent his overseer to bring to Longwood his property. Longwood was a plantation, all its own, a veritable little kingdom, and largely supplied all its own Were any there was no one to read “T‘:‘ of the eivil o ragi ‘war was un- known to servants of 00d. Finally the crash came. The tins. realized a it change. With a few servants Mr. Martin was forced to obtain a small house on a qulet side shut in a small town not many miles from Lexington. Millie was considered the housekeeper and here they lived in seclusion, although his vast fortune of land and slaves had been swept away he managed ‘to retain enough to live comfortably. AL this time be announced ft was “Master” no longer, bu every mem- ber of his household he ould be known by the name of “Pop.” Fearing Mary would desert him even after lit- tle Rhoda was born he kept her under lock and key, or as strict watch over her for two years. But such things will not last forever. When she learned the truth of the matter she knew she was helpless to go out into the world and earn her own living. As time wore along she was allowed more freedom and at- tended church not far away. She now saw, as she never had seen before. The scales had fallen from her eves so to speak, and returning from one of these meetings she stated to Richard Mar- tin that their relations must cease and hereafter she would occupy_the rooms at the rear of the house. He became furious and declared that people were setting his Mary crazy. One Sunday morning she arose early with the intention of attending _an early prayer meeting. Mr. Martin had already risen and as she was passing out he inquired where she was going. Giving him an answer she immediately returned to her room. Neighbors hearing a report ran in. Millle rushing to her daughter’s side inquired what was the trouble and all Mary was able to say was: “Pop shot me;”"—with that she died. Excitement ran high. Richard Mar- tin was arrested. It was decided to lay her to rest on Wednesday. Before the funeral he begged to be taken to her. In his frenzy the officer consent- ed, and as he gazed upon her he 5toop- ed and kissed her. A queer conincidence:—When Mary was shot in the side not one drop of blood came forth, only a water-like substance—; but when Richard Martin kissed her the blood gushed forth. We may say in torrents. She was laid to rest. He was re- turned to his cell and after awhile taken to a sanitorium where he was adjudged insane, and after a year was released as. cure You ask me what became of Rhoda? She was kept by Millie until she was old enough to be sent to a northern school which he arranged for, and she was entered at this school as Miss Martin, the daughter of Richard Mar- tin, the planter. A few years later she married a Yale graduate and went to Paris where no_color line is know. Lived happily, you ask—No—a Frenchman became very much in love with her,—separation and then a di- vorce followed. The Frenchman be« came insanely jealous of her and he shot her and she died. Richard Martin aged wonderfully. His halr was snowy white the last time 1 saw him— His plercing eyes had lost their luster. He was a ner- vous wreck, and the remorse that set- tled upon 'him soon caused him to pine and die. Have I not said: “The sins of their fathers shall be upon the children unto the third and fourth generations. BILLIE. tired of them. Certain it is that most of us do eat them every day, and the old saying is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” which is being more clearly proven every day. The food value of the apple lies prin- cipally in its acids. Of these the most important is malic acid, and mineral salts, all of which arc invaluable in ridding the body of unwholesome ac- cumulations. They purify the blood and give tone to the organs of diges- tion. Much of the mineral contents of the apple is found in the skin. There- fore the apple should not be peeled before eating, although the skin, like that of all other fruits, should be carefully wiped with a wet cloth. Apples are very easily stored dur- ing the winter and require little care if stored in a cool temperature. ~They should be bought in quantity and while the modern flat may not be equipped to take care of barrels of apples like the cellars of our coun- try sisters, there is ample room, and bought in this way apples arc one of the cheapest fruits in the market. In buying apples select firm sound truit of a good quality. They are the most healthful when eaten raw. As accessories to other foods they have a very definite value. Roast pork, for instance, suggests apple sauce, while no good cook would think of serving rich meats, such as duck, goose, etc., without accompanying apple in some form. These foods call .for acid in the fruit to supply what they lack in flavor. Sclence has taught us they help digest the fats. Following are some tested recipes containing apples, which I have found to be excellent: Southern Apple Fritters—One cup milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 4 chop- ped apples, pinch of salt, dash of cin- namon, 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons bak- ing powder. Beat eggs, add sugar, butter and milk, salt and cinnamon der and stir in apples. Fry in hot fat and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Apple Sauce Cake—One cup of su- gar, 1-2 cup butter, one cup sweetened apple sauce, one’ of soda, one teaspoon. each of.nutmes, cloves and cinnamon, 1 3-4 cups of fiour. Cream butter and sugar, stir soda in apple sauce and add to butter and sugar. Sift the spices with flour and beat all together. A cup {71 n.hi::. nuts, lem- on or orange peel may richer cake is desired. ten firm . tabl g § £ : bt Ré&% GREETINGS FROM NELIA.

Bo Peep: As I read your first let ter I made up my mind you were a Jolly person, your second made me change my mind. I think I have a fair picture of you in my mind. May I describe you as I see you on the won- der glass? I see a short and fleshy woman on the shady. side of life (not old). Perhaps a little faded but well and healthy. The first letter made me think you were married, but the sec- ond Oh! My! No. I am sure you are bossed around by a whole family of grown men. Am I right? You must be a very good house- keeper. Is that all there is in life for you? It seems to me that it is better to look after the moral and physical welfare of those in our home.

Is there anything Wwe use more than we do stockings? First of all I select good fleece- lined ones for winter, for I have lots of sheep’s wool, as you all know. For the summer I use good quality of cotton hose. For the children I use the ribbed ones. I see that they are always properly mended. 1 darn all the small holes while the larger ones 1 patch; when they are beyond patch- ing I cut them lengthwise from top to toe and save them for further use. The soft piiable ones make excellent dust cloths, while the ribbed ones make nice stove rags for polishing the stove. Cut them into strips and they braid up nice into mat: Use them cut lengthwise ~in your mop and see what a nice soft mop you have. Cleafl and polish your nickle work with them. For cleaning spots on a suit of clothes use a small plece of black hose; wet in a little ammonia_water. Other cloth may leave Hnt on the &o0ds. In very icy weather pull an old pair of worn socks over your rubbers to &0 out around the of falling then. The top to the ribbed ones make nice little mittens for the children to play around home with, and save their bet- ter mittens for school. Thanks to Dreamer for the Christ- mas card. Norwich. BO-PEBP. WAYS TO SERVE CARROTS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— I presume with you as with me, we are always on the lookout for quick method by which we may ac- complish our various departments of work in less time. Many of the up-to-date appliances are very helpful such as the vacuum cleaner, the gas range, electricity, etc.|Return all to the double boller .and |geir it into t But how about our cooking? Recently I was informed of a “quick ple crust” recipe. I had my doubts as to its satisfactory results, but as the old eaying goes, “the Proof of the pudding is in the eating of it” so I ventured to prove it by pie crust. To make a long story short the proof was a substantial evidence, and one that I have followed since the first experiment, so as I said in my last apter, when we know a good thing, “pass it along.” Quick Pie Crust:—Take three cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1-2 tea- spoon of baking powder, mix and sift into the mixing bowl. In another bowl put 1 cup of shortening and pour over it 1-2 cup of boiling water and beat with a fork till it becomes creamy, then sift in the flour mixture, stir it together with large spoon and in five minutes your ple crust will be ready to be rolled out on the board. I will also induce a plea for the car- rot, there are many. nice ways of serv- ing them if we will but follow a few recipes. For those who like marma- lade, here is a real sufprise. Carrot Marmalade—Two pounds of carrote, 2 large lemons. Put through coarse food chopper. Cook separately about 30 minutes in as little water as possible. Mix together, measure the mixture and add one cupful of sugar for each cup of the mixture. Boil un- til thick. A good combination for a_vegetable dish is carrots and peas. Wash and scrape carrots and chop coarsely in food chopper. Boil until tender and add equal parts with peas, either cold or freshly bolled. Season with salt, Dpepper-and a little sugar, add a gen- erous amount of butter, a cream sauce be used for an improvement. holidays. ; Lucy Acorn: - Your ‘card was very| pretty indeed.

Dear Editor and Social Corper Sis- ters: I have just read all the letters in the Corner page and I find them Teal interesting. i o Here are a lew recipes for puddings and desserts: ice Pudding—Two quarts milk, 1-2 sugar, grated nutmeg or cinnamon. Wash' the rice; mix with half the milk and the salt and sugar and pour into a buttered pudding dish. Bake for several hours in a slow oven, stirring frequently and adding the rest of the milk. When the last milk is added, grate nutmeg over the top and let the pudding brown. A cup of seeded raisins may be baked in the pudding 1f desired Boiled Custard—Two, cups hot milk. me | PINCh of salt, 2 tablespoons. sugar, I eggs or yolks or 3 eggs, 1-2 teaspoon vanilla. ~Put the milk on' to heat in a double boller. Beat the eggs thor- oughly with the sugar; into them pour the hot milk, stirring t> prevent lumps. cook until the custard coats the spoon, but no longer. If the mixture should curdle, set the boiler in a pan of, cold water and beat with a wire egg beat- er until_smooth. When ' the steam passes off add the vanilla or other flavoring. i tablespoons rice, 1 quart milk, yolks of 2-eggs, 4 tablespoons sugar. pinch of salt, lemon or yebils favoring. Whifes of 3 egks. 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook the rice in a little water; drain and add.the yolks, sugar, salt and flavoring. Cover with meringue and brown in the oven. The meringue is made of the yolks and granulated sugar with flavoring. Cornstarch Pudding—Three - cups scalded milk, 6 level tablespoons corn- starch, 1-4 cup cold milk, 1-3 cup cup sugdr, 1-4 teaspoon sait, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla. ~Mix the corn- starch with the cold milk; stir the scalded milk siowly into this mix- ture and stir over hot water until the cornstarch thickens. Beat the eggs slightly; add sugar and salt; pour over them the cornstarch mixture and cook one minute longer. Serve cold with cream and sugar. Cocoanut Cornstarch—One cup of shredded cocoanut, 3 tablespoons su- gar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 pint milk, .whites of 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon va- nilla, custard sauce. Mix the sugar and cornstarch in a double boiler; add the milk and stir over the fire until it thickens; then add the cocoanut and cook slowly for half an hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from the add the stifly beaten whites and the vanilla and pour into a wet mold. Turn from:the mold when, chilled and serve with custard sauce. Cocoantit Junket—Four tablespoons Elkod ‘Carrots:—The same as baked potatoes are much sweeter in flavor, than boiled. Extra large carrots are preferably the best for baking, and it requires a larger time for baking than it does for potatoes of an equal size. A nice way to serve cold bolled car- rots, is to cut them in narrow strips, roll in sugar to which a little salt has been added. Have oil or butter very hot, drop in strips of carrots, and as soon as edges curl and brown, take up and serve with pareley. arrot Ple:—Beat one egg, add 3 tablespoon of suger and a little salt. To two-thirds of a cupful of cooked and sifted carrot, add either a little cinnamon and nutmeg, or a little ginger, as preferred. Combine these mixtures, and add one pint of milk.
