MARKING HANDKER- Social Corner Sisters: How many housewives have attempted to mark fine linen handkerchiefs with indelible ink, only to have a blurred, indistinct name when completed. Try this when marking new handkerchiefs: _Starch your handkerchiefs and iron smoothly, and then mark them. You will be agreeably surprised, for the name may be made very small, but will still be distinct. Odorless Gasoline Cleaning: When washing articles in gasolire pour in a few drops of oil of sassafras, about five drops to a quart of gasoline. This will destroy all odor, and the garment can be pressed ard worn as soon as the gasoline evaporates, thus elimin- ating the lengthy airing process.

Mr. Editor: It has afforded me pleas- ure to respond to a dozen reguests for mixed dahlia seeds and the packets are far from being exhausted These seeds contain mixed peony seeds and seeds of the English Star and round dahlias. They ought to pro- duce a fine display of single and dou- ble_flowers. When the seedlings sprout take good care of those which seem to be lea { vigorous, as they are likely to pro- duce the best flowers. T have had flowers bloom from seeds in elght or ten weeks. They make flowera if well located as quickly as the roots; but it takes three years establish ‘the rea] character of dahlia. After that the roots will remain true to_type.

As they grow the lateral near the ground should be cut off close to the stalk o that the hoe may be used beneath them. The drainage should be them.

THE CARE OF BABIES. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am sending a few hints on the care of ba- bies for the young mother. Don't make baby’s clothes too long and too heavy. Don't make them so tha necessary to contirually turn the child over and over. Don't make them too tight for the nmeck. Don't make them to put on or to fasten be- ind with hooks or buitons. Don't feed the baby too often or 100 much. Don't let him be longer than 20 minutes at the breast or bottle at one feeding. Don’t let him have an emp- ty bottie to suck. Don't give him a pactfier, mother’s comfort or anything of the kind to keep him quiet. He will not need them if properly cared for and fed. Dont’ let him suck his thumb. spoils the shape of his mouth. Don't let him go for days or even a day without a drink of water. Give him a teaspoonful occasionally. Don't let him sit on the floor on cold days, especially if there is no carpet, unless there is a blanket or pad un- der him. Don't let him sit in front of an open window with a direct breeze blowing on him; or allow him to sit in a draft between an open window and door. Don’t let him play with matches, pins, scissors or sharp pointed objects, Don't urge him to stand on his feet too young, for if you do he will become 1t Thera was svoh a good feeling mani- but et ezt that no one could help being hap- & I ¥now you woll.

BETSEY BOBBET SENDS GREET- INGS. i 1 2 seventeen In all Here are a few ideas that may be of help to many in the kitchen: Firsy that the time required for roasting, bolling or baking meat is as follows: Beef, mutton, and lamb, 15 minutes to the pound, with 15 minutes added to_the entire time. Second, that green and young potatoes should be put into fast bolling water, salted, and boiled fast all the time of cooking, with the saucepan lid firmly on. Old potatoes should be put into cold water for a little time before cooking to_make them become firm. Third, that the average time for cooking vegetables is: Old potatoes, 30 minutes; young petatoes, 20 min- utes; asparagus, cabbage, spinach, sprouts, kale, 30 minutes, old caiTots, one hour new, 40 minutes; turnips | from 30 to 45 minutes; green peas, 15 minutes. To these last a lump of jugar and by some springs of mint are added. Fourth, that a crust of bread toasted { nearly black, and put into water in which cabbage is boiling, will prevent that very disagreeable odor of “cabbage RYZON., The and waffles that mouth.

THE HOME LIBRARY Dear Social Corner Friends: I have been very much interested in all of the articles written about books. 1 have started a library so that when my children are older they will have reference books without having to go to_the public library. Books are the only thing that I al- low myself to buy on the Installment plan. A good set of books comes very high and that is about the only way that a family of moderate means can et a good collection. I have bousht a set of eleven volumes, each volume taking up a different set of subjects and then I have a set of five volumes, in_sort of encyclopedia form. My latest addition to my book- shelves is a dictionary of the latest make and a size which s easily han- ied. It will be some years before my children will need - such reference books, but I Intend to have many more added to my collection by that time. T have a sectional bookcase so that I can add a section as I need more room. One of my neighbors has a daughter in high school and she comes in quite often to get material for composition: She said it saves her so many trips to the library, and often when she did go_there some of the other girls were using the books she wanted and then too their compositions are all about alike while she has something quite different. So I think that my chil- dren will find their library quite v uable. . Hortense: Received your letter. think that you are very smart. Roxanna Wince: Did you forget that You owed me a letter? Hope all the Cornerites had a happy Easter. NAD 1 'DRIED FRUIT AND ITS PREPARA- TION. Dear Editor Social Corner: The let- ter In last week's Social Corner by L. H. . advising a cupful of sugar to each pound of fruit, and to boil and boil after soaking soft, is S0 erroneous from my viewpoint that the enclosed was Inspired, my first attempt in your department. If you will give peaches or prunes a trial as per instructions here given, 1 belieye they may become more pPop- ular in your family, and that my chances of winning one of your prizes ms be enhanced. And if you will try L. H. K's method in comparison, 1 have no fear of your decision. Dried Fruit and Its Preparation— Meats and cereals—including bread— constitute far too large a proportion of the food of Americans. They are acid-forming, and fruits and vegetables ould be eaten in larger amounts than tention for ecveral reasons viz.: wonder how it happens that you, up in Maine, read The you ever lived in this vicinity? trip across the counry is just what I am longing for. two happy weeks near Augusta with & friend who is a nurse in that vieint Are you a nurse? the beautiful lakes, taking trolley trips to them.

SOMETHING ;BOU; ELECTRICITY, Dear Sotfal Cornerités: After real- ing an instrucuve article on electricity my first thoughts were, that, that would make an interesting letter for our Socjal Corner. -All I fear is that It may be_too lengthy. ol We all know that when we under- stand the principle of what we are working on, that we obtain better re- sults. A cook feels sure when she un- derstand the chemistry of foods that her resuits will be more certain then if she trusted to luck or guess work. The same wita our fuel, If we know Just when to close our dampers we get better resuits, and more heat than the persons who leaves the drafts opem, 2nd whose stove is red hot: and them wonder why the oven is cold. Just so with our electricity, we should know that the electric current is like a stream of water. The size of the stream may vary as do water pipes and the word used to designate the size of an_ electric stream is ampere. Thus an_electric iron requires a large stream, five amperes; a vacuum clean. er, a smaller dtream, one ampere; while a large range may require fifteen or twenty amperes. ‘Another common term is the “volt” and this word megns the pressure of the stream of - electricity. With the water supply we speak of the pressure at the faucets as 26 to 60 pounds, ctc. While with electricity we speak of the pressures as 110 gr 120 volts, etc. The “watt” is the actual amount of electricity used. It is measured by gallons or cubic feet in the case of water. Thus we would say the faucet runs 50 gallons an hour, while with clectricity we would say the irons com- sume 500 watts an hour. Because the “watt” { sso small a quantity. all elec- tric lighting companies use 1,000 watts, or the kilowatt, 23 their basis of meas- urement, and the cost of electricity is s0 many cents for a kilowatt. Once these terms are understood it will be a simple matter to determine the exact cost of your electrical ap- pliances. JANETTE. JUDITH J S. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— I have always been an interested reader of the Social Corner letters. I have found in them many helpful sug- gestions. If there is room for ome more would like to join your happy e JUDITH. is usual to neutralize this acidity. Dried fruits are conyenient, reasonable in price, easily prepared and very healthful for adults and children. Every family keeping house should at all been steamed, I made them into & salad, same as you would lobster, had a plece fresh shoulder roasting, and a kettle of cold mashed potato and tur- nip which 1 made into small cakes, and fried light brown both sides, some hot powder biscuit and small cucum- bers in vinegar out of our own gzar- den. Cousin Jane said: “More of your lobster salad, please.” They looked at each other, and us quite funny. Then Betsy sald: “We have paid as high us fifty cents a pound for lobster this winter in Boston and fresh eggs forty and more a dozen. We have always felt so sorry for you and farmers in general, but land's sake, you seem to ing! Our pity has were going on to Springfield and thought 1 might put them up a little lunch, some slices of cold shoul- der, thin slices bread, and iIf I had a little mustard. T did have it. They ‘went at last. Half pound of shrimp will make your city cousins take notice of the scrub farmers. Dolly: Your soft gingerbread is nice. 1 have it as a standby. Ready: Shall stop some time and 1 r a e g e z times have a good supply of dried peaches, prunes, nectarines, raisins and cooking figs, and especially is this im- portant if there are children. The figs come white and black. and often, as at present, may be bought at a lower price than ‘either of the other dried fruits. The last we bought cost only 8 cents per pound. Prunes used to be of four kinds, the common sweet Santa Clara, Oregon, Ruby and Silver, named in the order of their sweetness. The Oregons and Rubys are our favori- tes, and as we prepare them need no sugar. The Santa Claras are too sweet unless mixed with tarter fruits, and the Silvers need sugar. We have been unable to find either Ruby or Silver in late years. and have been informed they were produced from unripe fruit, and sinco enactment of the pure food laws are no longer permitted in Interstate commerce. To prepare peaches, prunes, mecta- rines, apricots and figs for the table. ACROCSTIC FROM KITTY LOU. Dear Saclal Cormer Editor:—It seems as if we should have an acros- tic in our corner. AIRY.
