KT EgT A Lonesome Pine, with her able as- sistants, arrived early, decorated the ted all red. The tabled 10oked vers . tmmpting. loaded with many kinds of salad, sandwiches, cake and cookies, fruit nuts. In, the center of the table was a handsome May basket, made of yellow and white, filled with fruit. ‘We all brought our Social Corner appetites and the tables gave evidence of it as sbon as J. E. T. bid us all to “All_up.” After dinner we marched around to the pretty May basket, and each re- ceived a gift. A pleasing programme was pre- sented, conslsting of vocal and instru- mental a message was read From Dicoa: & reading by & popular elocutionist: a recitation by Pollyanna, and thus another delightful gathering has passed into history in which we “drove dull care away,” and our spir- its and minds are the better prepared by the loosened tension of work to go on with the %humerous duties of the morrow. It is with a sigh of regret that we hear the click of the look in the door, @ we have enjoved so many pleasant hours thers together: but we still have many delightful visions of red-letter— or rather yellow-letter—days ahead, of picnics and parties at the homes’ of some of the sisters. That the outcome of our gatherings has been decidedly beneficial and far- reaching is evidenced by the large in- crease in numbers and faithful attend- ance of all, regardless of distance or obstacles. THECDA. THANKS FOR POSTCARDS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I tl Primrose and Keziah Doolittle Easter postcards. Sister Deborah: 1 have been miser- able with nervous indigestion for two months and not able to take anything but malted milk, and not much better for vet. 1 think the Sisters who sent cards are still fooling me.

Priscilla has it right. “All that T am I owe to my mother.” Poetry on the last page of The Bul- letin of May 13, “Some Fellow's Mother” should bo read and re-read by men who forget their aged mothers, who gave the best part of her life for them. RURAL DBELIVERY, Sterling. CHEESE AND ITS ECONOMICAL USES. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I send in a few timely recipes: Cheese and Spinach Roll: Take a quart of spinach, a cupful of grated cheese, a_ tablespoon of butter, a lit- tle salt and bread crumbs. Cook your spinach in water for ten minutes. Drain off the water, add the butter, then cook until tender and chop: add the grated cheese and then bread crumbs, enough to roll, or leave more moist, and cook in a baking dish. Cheese Sandwiches—Mash or grate American cheese, and a speck of mus- faces and to greet those I had met with before, and also to meet with those of whom I had read and heard so_much.

Dear Sisters of The Soclal Corner: Delicate cooking and attractive serv- ing will convert even so plebian a food as salt codfish into a dish fit for a luxurious table. An Old Fashioned Codfish Souffl Mix all the ingredients but the eggs— fish, milk, potatoes and butter—and bake about ten minutes. Then beat the yolks and the whites of the eggs separately, mix them, and spread over the top of the dish. Bake just long enough to get a delicate brown color. This should be sent directly to the ta- ble from the oven. Salt Codfish Augratin: Cook the fish and flake ano‘llht to fill & pint cup. Make a sauce—a cupful of milk, a ta- blespoon melted butter and the same of flour. Mix the sauce with the fish: fresh 'h!-d mnnbl' bake in'a hot oven un- til light brown.

These effusive and_pleasing remarks about the supper, which Mre ~Niles knew was not up to the standard, B e bt Db s not as poorly eooked as she feared it was. She looked up and said in a pleasing manner: is “Youre not hard to suit, Mr. Wil- | kins. Before you came in I told your wife that you were an easy person to get_along with.” “But everything is so nice, Mrs. Niles, that one could not find any oc- casion to find fault even if they wished to do so. Pray make no apologies, for 1 have not enjoyed a meal so much for a long time. Really, my wife is a fair- Iy good cook, but there is always a chance for improvement, you know.” “I am sure,” replied she, “that I am glad that you have enjoyed your sup- per, but the next time I hope I shall do better,” as they rose and retired to the Hving room, where they passed a pleasant time before returning to their ‘home. The next morning Mr. Wilking' breakfast did not suit him, although he ate heartily. He spoke cuttingly and sarcastically about the food. During the morning, while planning what would please her husband’s palate for fupper, an ldea flashed her thoughits and she instantly resolved to put it into practice and cure her husband of grumbling and finding fault with his food, etc. when there was no cause for it. Her scheme was to give her good- natured husband a lesson—to ~make him good-natured at home as well as away.

This is a fine sup- per—not a single thing is fit to eat.” “I am sorry, for I tried especially to Pplease you.” “Tried to please me!” he exclaimed in an irritable manner. “Why, yes, indeed. You said you ‘were going to send me over to take cooking lessons from Mrs. Niles, so 1 duplicated her supper tonight, cooked it just as she served it to us, and, i you Will, you can recall the fact that you praised everything. “Oh, oh!” interrupted he. “Didn’t you know I was merely trylng to be polite? ‘Ater a few minutes spent in thought he added with a crestfallen alr: “You have given me a good lesson— one which I shall not be apt to forget. 1 am aware now that it is fully as important to wear a smile and be kind in werd and look and to excuse littl accidents at home as well as When one is visiting others.” If one only realized that the habit of finding fault at home is not an excep- tion, but, alas! a common occurrence, one would endeavor to always clad themselves in company manners.

Take up the apples and place them on a sieve to cool. ~ Whisk stiffly the whites of two eggs and add an ounce of sugar. Range the apples on a buttered bak- ing dish, fill the cavitles with cur- ranis_or sultanas, mask them care- fully ‘with the whisked whites of esg and dredge with sugar. Bake in a hot oven for about fifteen minutes. Take up quickly and send to table hot. The currants or sultanas to be used should be soaked.in a little syrup. Gems of Iron-Clads: Stir graham flour into soft, cold water, making a batter a trific thicker than for grid- dle-cakes. Drop from a spoon into the cups of the bread-pans, which are already. heated, and bake in a hot oven. Take them from the pan as soon as they are done and arrange them on plates, taking care that no welghts rest on them to make them heavy. These, -after standing two or three days, are made as good as new by dipping in cold water and setting in a hot oven a few minutes, or steaming over boiling water. All cakes of this kind are lighter and more deli- cate by belng beaten ten or fifteen minutes while mixing the batter, but it is not necessary in order to make good bread.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I read your letters with interest week by week so thought I would add my mite. 1 wonder if you realize how many pennies lie around you in the shape of old papers and nes which bring a good price now, if sold to the rag man. Look up in your attic, and if you find papers which have accu- mulater for vears, as I did, you will realize quite a little pin money if sold at once. Old books will also be taken if the covers are removed. As this is the housecleaning season it is well to get rid of these old things and make room for later ones. Best wishes for all the S| BARBAR.

During the day the sunshine should in, and at night the window should be’ open so we can. have air, but not eleep in a draft. A warm sun- ny room could be furnished in soft ool colors, as light green or light biue. A rnorth room will require warm cherry tints, as creamy paper or vel- low or red. A hard wood polished floor is very desirable. Any floor may be painted or stained and permits ome to use rugs instead of carpets. -The carpets are 5o hard to take up and put down, vhile small rugs can bé removed and in several different colors. 1 have all my walls done in alabastine, and like it_very much.
