HOW TO WEAVE A RUG. Dear Editor and Sisters of the Sociai Corner: If any of you are interested In the braided rugs that grandmother used to make, and which are very much in vogue at the present time, you may like to know how to make a hand woven rug which is quickly made and also very fascinating to work on. To make one of these rugs you will require a frame that can be easily made with four strips of one inch and ite or | bud | a half wide thin boards and four clamps. Fasten the strips of wood into a frame, after driving brads through two of the strips. The brads are to hold the strips of cloth that will be the warp of the rug. They should be about half an inch apart. The strips of cloth should be cut about an inch and a half wide; then stretch them across the frame from brad to brad. Make a needle from a length of hard wood by sharpening one end to a point and bor- ing a hole in the other end for an eve. ‘Weave the cross strips in and out exactly as you would In darning, push- ing every row of weaving up tight and sce that the sides do not draw. A pretty rug can be made from dis- carded neckties or strips of old (or new) eilk. Do.not have the frame too large, as it .will be-awkward to handle. A loom 20'inches wide and 24 inches long is a good size. When strips are finished sew them together to form a rug the size wanted. 'Wishing swccess to any who may try the hand woven rug. UDELLE. A VEGETABLE PARTY. Dear Soclal Corner Folks: I am sending a suggestion for a vegetable party—hope it may be of help to some one who wishes to try it ‘The invitatiows for this party may have a pioture of a vegetable cut from a seed catalogue nad pasted on the up- per right hand corner. Or if preferred the invitations may each be cut in the shape of a different kind of vegetable and the words written thereon.

The cold bath is not a cleanser but an invigorator of the nerves and cap- illaries of the skin. It can be called a nerve treatment and should be taken in the morning. It causes the heart to beat steadier and stronger. The skin muscles contract and empty the small blood vessels which refill again after the brisic rubbing which should follow the bath, and which also gives 2 gefls’html warmth and glow to the ody. The cold bath is an excellent tonic and stimulant while the warm bath has an opposite effect, for instead of causing one to feel more sprightly it soothes and calms the worn and tired nervous system and often induces sleep. Warm_baths are recommended for those who are mentally overworked and for those who do not sleep well. The baths for this purpose should be as warm as can be borne and should be taken for fifteen or twenty minutes. Sea bathing is exceedingly stimulat- ing on account of the action of the salt and the exciting surroundings. The bather should leave the water at once after feeling a chiliy sensation. A sun bath is soul satisfying, sooth- ing and strengthening, proving that sunlizht is necessary for the health of_the body. Let us then indulge in frequent baths not onmiy for their cleansing properties, but for the beneficial gain to the system for there is nothing bet- ter for preserving the heaith, improv- ing the complexion, preventing colds, keeping up strength, and for prolong- ing life. Best wishes to all DTANA. N. H. ENTIRE WHEAT CAKE Dear Bditor and Social Cornerites: Just a few words of greeting on this hot_afternoon.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I sume that you all haq an enjoyable outing at Remember Me's. It was very hot here. I try not to complain of the heat for it is much needed to make vegetation grow. This season has been a discouraging one to the farmers in this vicinity, who, on ac- count of so much rain, could not plant their usual crops, and now are finding it hard to harvest the good crop of hay on account of frequent rains. Bright Ray and Samantha: I thank you very much for your cards. We do know that there are many ways in which one can help to pre- serve health, such as exercising and Dbeing out of doors; and also that food and drink build up and maintain the body, but, do we realize as we should that frequent baths not only cleanse the body, but are necessary and es- sential for:their effect on the nerves and blood vessels which exist in the capillaries of the skin. There are several different kinds of baths, all of which are beneficial to the system, but I will only speak of time that we plan and prepare for our friends to be our gue: We want them to enjoy their v hile at our hemes, and there are many little it that we overlock that might add m comfort.and convenience to them dur- ing their stay The zue should never be like “the un mu; and dusty. now and then a cobweb, ete.

A hassock, or foot rest, is very use- ful, cither to be used as a rest for the feet, or to sit on while putting on the shoes. Often our guests as well as our- selves, may neglect, or forget, to take with them some little articles that they may need during their visit while away, such as a button-hook, shoe- horn or whisp broom; and if they are found in a conspicuous place as a por- tion of the wall decoration, they will be readily used.

Those who did not attend the gathering at Remember Me’s charming home missed a great deal. ‘Situated on the so-called Frank- lin flats, grand maple trees and spa- cious lawn surrounding the house, but room for all on the large porch which encircled two sides of the house, mak- ing_a beautiful place for the party. We were graciously welcomed by Remember Me and Aunt Sarah, avho did everything for our pleasure and comfort. ‘This house was the home of Remem- yellow bunting, flowers, little tables here and there, swings, hammocks, ev- erything so cosy and comfortable; and we were comfcrtable in such a nice breeze. Many came by trolley and were met by guides with their golden sashe: ‘Aunt Sarah went to meet the halt and the blind: others came in automo- biles and with trusty horses. A fine lunch was served, including fce cream, provided through the cour- tesy of The Bulletin, to about &0 guests. After lunch we enjoyed the pro- gramme, consisting of piano solos by Mrs, F. Burgess; readings by Sister Avery; a recitation by Myrtice Brown- ing, with vocal solos given by Edith Foster and little Eleanor Burgess. The guest of honor was Mrs. Tilizabeth C. Lillie of Lebanon, aged 95 years and 5 months. Pollyanna brought “her by autcmobile, accompa- nied by her daughter, Mrs. Card. Grandma Lillie is still active, having pleced and put together five bed quilts since last Thanksgiving. It almost made the young girls around 50 years feel lazy. ~We were pleased and hon- ored to have her with us the 20th. Golden Rod and Alfara: I looked for you that day. Cleo filled in a few spare moments teaching a class in crochet. ‘We were fortunate. Amy and hubby called in their car and carried us to the picnle grounds. This was much appreciated, and also took us home. ‘Thus closed another delightful day, ‘We owe the hostesses and The Bul- letin a vote of thanks, which I take the liberty to extend in the name of the Sisters present.

Blueberry Dumpling—Sift togethe two cups of flour, two teaspoons bak ing powder, add a little salt, mix with two-thirds cup sweet milk and drop by tablespoons into a kettle of boiling blueberry sauce and cook until done. Serve with cream and sugar. Preserved Blueberries For each ber, allow three-fourths sugar and two teaspoons of lemon juice. Heat the berries and su- gar together, with just en to prevent burning, oughly cooked add lemon jui boil up once then sea] in cans. Spiced Blueberries: For five pounds i low three pounds sugar, one pint vinegar, three tablespoons ground “innamon and half as much of cloves. Boil the sugar and vinegar, skimming until clear; add the spices tied in a pound of pound of let be bag, then the berries. Heat gradually and cook slowly, five or ten minutes, when it comes to a boil. Blueberry Graham Tea Cakes:—Into one pint thick sour cream stir one teaspoon soda, a half teaspoon salt, two tablespoons brown sugar and two of molasses, two heaping tablespoons soft butte: one large cup graham flour, one-half cup whole wheat flour, mix and heat well; then stir in one cup blueberries; bake in flat cakes, in a moderate oven.

In a well buttered shallew pudding pan spread a thick ayer of berries either fresh or canned, well drained, pour the batter over them and bake 40 minutes. Serve with the fruit side up, and with a sauce made with three tablespoons of sugar, two of butter, one well beaten egg and flavor to taste. Huckleberry Jelly: Huckleberries make a nice jelly, using green grapes with them. To make this jell take about half and haif, using a littie more of huckleberries. Cook them together with as little water as possible, strain off the juice, let boil a few minutes, then add equal quantity of sugar that has been heated until hot in the oven and boil until it jells when a spoonful is cooled.

Raspberry Vinegar: A most deilc- fous and refreshing hot weather drink s made by putting one tablespoon of raspberry syrup into z glass of coid water or weak lemonade. The rasp- berry syrup is inexpensive and easy to make and the over-ripe fruit or surplus fruit from the berry patch ean be advantageousir used for the pur- pose. The mode of procedure -is this: Carefully pick over the berries and place them in a stoneware (not earth- ern) jar or crock; then pour over them “enough pure cider vinegar to Just cover them; let stand for 24 hours; then rain through a cheese cloth; equeeze the pulp dry: for each pint of juice thus secured add ons of sugar and boil gent immmer for haif an hour. Remove rthe scum. set the Syrup away to cool, then bottle and seal. If the bottles are securely sealed this syrup will keep in per- fect condition for two years; possibly longer. When the apple vinezar to be used is very strong (sharp), it should be diluted with water before using or the vinegar taste will predominate in l!_’\e syrup over the flavor of ‘the ber- ries. “One quart of vinegar to three quarts of berries is the usual prepara- tion. This will strain out 5% pints of ugar. After < sugar to thin and boiling, you should have seven pints of syrup for bottling. E Poth strawberries and bla may also be used in this way, raspberries give the hest flavor. Currants may be nicely combined with raspberries.
