I wonder how many Social Corner Sisters know of the merits of the Sas- safras shrub. Tea made from its roots is an _excellent biood purifier, while that of the bark, not so strong, is good for colds. "When putting away dried fruits for use in winter, place a_bunch of the bark in the top of sack and files or insects will never trouble it. Place the drfed bark on pantry shelves it will drive away ants. It is the best remedy I know of for driving away lice from sctting he place some under the eggs in their nests. Then the dried roots for smoking meat is excellent as it gives it a nice flavor .end makes it fly proof. An excellent salve for burns, etc., can be made by boiling the green bark in fresh lard till of the usual thick- ness and adding a few drops of pep- permint oil. An efficient fly poison, which has the merit of being poisonous only to flies. is made of the yolk of an egg beaten up with a tablespoon each of ground black pepper and molasses. Pour in shallow plates and set around the rooms. To separate beeswax from the comb tie it up in a coarse, thin bag with a stone in it to keep it at the bottom of a pot of cold water. Place on the fire. The wax will rise to the top as it melts, leaving the impurities in the bag.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corne! .| As this is the time of year for picnics, family reunions and all out-door gath- erings, it is indced a pleasure to attend such functlons, espocially when it takes one a little distance from home, where we meet many new faces and enjoy the company of former ac- quaintances. Such has been my de- light and experience during this month of August. I have special reference to family reunions. Although Connecti- cut is my native state, and I feel proud to be one of her daughters, yet my earliest ancestors to the shores of New England, landed on Massachusetts coast in 1637, and began their humble life in this country, selecting for their new abode a remote section in the lit- tle town of Sandwich, which is com- gx&xi:‘z,my cited as the “neck of Cape four reunions at this quaint little vil- lage and each time I find something of new interest that I had not observed on_ former visits. Just a word in regard to family re- unions. It seems they are becoming more popular each year, and interests in family ties are being drawn closer. It affords us much pleasure to meet with our kin from far and near, many we never wouid have opportunity to mingle with, were it not for a gene family reunion. Having the honor to become a char- ter member of the Tupper family, it is noteworthy to mention that the oldest house on Cape Cod today has the distinction of being the former home of Rev. Thomas Tupper, whose descendants as a family association, own the ancient structure and are m&inlfllnlg!g‘ it for its history. To us this generation, it is most interesting to enter through the old door, pass from one room to the other, lics | ascend the_ stafrs. look oat. from ‘the ‘windows ‘there It has been my privilege to attend: the same Lnndscape which greeted the eye of out ancestors. A8 we into the old fireplace in the kitchen, and imagine the “goodies™ that were once baked in the brick oven, we. rei the. space of 280 years has IR G L eeenn T miones e iences. e old- fashxoned lilac bush stands by the front door, it also being .a descendant of many generations, and Close by the old, old picket fence. We see the Tiger lillies nod their yellow heads in all their beauty and fresh- ness of the season, and as we look up- on these remnants we wonder when and by whose hand they were planted. 'To those who have visited Cape Cod, cither a part of it or to the tip, at Provincetown, will agree that _the term “quaint” is justly applied. Many odd landmarks, not only. old houses, shingled all over, but queer looking windmills may be observed all along the rcute, the entire length of the cape. 'The cranberry bogs are frequent re- minders that a little later on we shall see tbeir products in the markets and groceries of our own home town and cities. . At Provincetown there is much to intérest those who cla'm their ances- try from the Pilgrims. The Pilgrim Memorial monument, is a imost im- posing sentinel, erected on a bluff near the -harbor, in' honor of the Pligrims whe first cast anchor Nov. 2d, 1620. The view of the ocean at the tip of Cape Cod is one of the widest ex- panse of any point on the Atlantic coast. ear Bourn the canal cuts through the cape, which practically males Cape Cod an island. As I went by trolley from Buzzards Bay to Fair- haven, I found it a most delightful lit- tle trip. Through several small vil- lages, many of them bearing an Indian name, and susgestive that people of tile present generation are no different than those of past generations. As I passed by a plain and neat look- ing little country home, I observed a sign near to the front door which read thuy “Boots and shoes mended for Cash.” I enjoyed one of the famous clam- bake dinners at Fort Phoenix, near New Bedford, also visited the historical rooms and saw many relics of interest connected with the old whaling sea- port town. As I crossed the state of Rhode Is- land and entered again into Connecti- cut, T felt satisfied and enjoved all my but home tles are most at- tractive, for where the heart is there we are content to abide. 2 Pest wishes to all. JENNTE. ATTRACTIVE AND ARTICLES. Dear Social Corner People:—While 1g Sunbornet Sue, I pecame in- terested in the Social Corner and the enthuiasm and good will shown in your letters is most contagious and I should SALEABLE like to belong to the Social Corner,| ily, so am sending a lctter upon) ve and saleable articles for fairs, also birthday and Christmas gifts for the person'who plans ahead. For the girl friend, an attractive gift s a pair of ribbon slippers made by athering loosely 2 1-2 inch ribbon to the soles. Satin ribbon of her favorite color is d. Ilastic is run through a hem in the top, and a_ baby-ribbon rosette, each lcop knotted once in cen- ter, is caught o the fron: of slipper. A chafing dish apron is easily made from 3 vards of Russia crash, 21 cents per yard. Allow enough distance to extend from belt in back to shoulders. Cut a hole large enough to slip easily over the head. Make a 2 inch hem at bottom, and finish neck with binding, feather stitch hem or crochet edge. Alake a two fnch wide belt. Fasten to left side back, and extend across front to right side back. A large pocket Is often added to rizht side. A cross- stitched design is then carried out on front and in the corners. If not too elaborate, part may be applied to belt. Cross-stitched blue tea-sets, blue birds or flowers muke the most appropriate effects. A dresser tray for pins, cte., is most attractive made from an oval embroid- €ry hocp, a litide baby ribben and a small piece of silk. Wind both hoops with narrow ribbon to match room. Sew tightly across the bottom of small- hocp, a large enousgh picce of appropri- te ribbon or silk to hold in place. Snap outer hoop on and fasten a tailor bow to each end. Stand on four small glass push pins, stuck between the hoops. With shoes at the new prevalent high prices, a pair of shoe-trees finds a most welcome reception, as they pre- serve the shape of the shoes wonder- fully: ~ A dainty pair may be made by winding with a button-hole edge finish the steel part of the tree, with raffia. Add 1-2 inch ribbon bows at each end. All sorts of crocheted articles are es- pecially called for now, and a useful present for the housewife is a bunch of 6 Turkish bath mitts with top edges crocheted with colored “Electric” silk. Six chain stitches caught, then 6 more caught in same place, followed by six of same placed 1-2 inch or less beyond, make the edge. Then cross-stitch a small design on each mitt. Tie the bunch once around with inch wide satin ribbon to match color scheme. A Turkish guest towel and face cloth are als) made by using same stitch as above entirely around each (1t takes very little time if one uses a fine steel crochet needle), and cross- stitching a small design in one corner of each, the same design on each piece. Two towels.and two face cloths all made to match tied with inch wide rib- bon make an extraordinary gift. When there is a small baby the house a mother enjoys using the fol- lowing baby set. A double faced Turkish set consisting of a lap blanket, about one and one-half yard square, two face cloths and two bath towels can be purchased for one dollar; pink for a girl, blue for a boy, latest ar- rangement of colors is carried out in a crocheted edze on each piece ani dainty cross stitch design, one in each corner of the lap blanket and one on each other article. Designs are not- necessarily alike. At present it is hard to get the embroidery canvas with the blue gulde lines as it iIs of foreign malke, but a cheaper home manufac- tured serim is being used with as fine results and It pulls out more easily. An inexpensive and most attractive breakfast set is made from € yards of Japanese toweling at 9 cents per yard, 12 inches wide. Either blue stork or flower designs on white backeround may he secured at any linen counter. Cu¢ two runners 2 yards each and hem- stitch ends. Cut four squares and hemstitch narrow hems. These squares may be used for doilles between crossed runmers, or if but 3 or 4 are to be served may be vsed as napkins. In a bridal trosseau was recently seen a luncheon set of fine white linen cut witl: scalloped edges and picot edge crocheting in mercerized cotton, mak- mg a most dainty finish. A picot edge is simply 6 single stitches taken in the material over a narrow rolled hem, then three chain stitches caught In same part of material and repeated. This set had a 24 inch center piece, 6 plate doilies, 6 bread and butter doilies and six tumblers and doilies only, as a more elabofate set would be required for a more elaborate luncheon. A sug- gestion for a larger set would be to mfinmrel make 6 finger-howl doilies in addition to above: elther crochet a fancy edge. or sew on inch wide Cluny lace around each plece. For the kitchen a most unique -dish- | cloth is made by fclding 12 thicknesses of white moaqunn netting into_ stitching around and crosswise to hold in place.

Social Corner Sisters: We all know fruit ought to be cheaper than it is and be eaten more. There is much to be sald about fruits, and I will try to say some- think interesting. 2 The best time to eat fruit is sald to be about an hour before me: retiring at night a on rising in the mornin on e first thing Many epicureans claim that fruit possesses more flavor when served cool but not ice-cold, and that to serve pieces of chopped ire on melons or berries is to rob them of much of their goodness. In boiling or stev sugar should always be added after the fruit is taken from the fire. If 2dded during the cooking more sugar is needed. Daked apples are among the most ng fruits the wholesome and most d o of fo0d products. Children and invalids are seldom harmed by them, ecven when other fruits might not agree. Apples_are more than 84 per cent. water. Watermelon—rightly named— contains more than 92 per cent. of water. The quickest way to peel peaches and pluns is to immerse them quiclk- ly in boilinm water, when the skin can: be removed very casily. If done quickly this process will not soften the frui Pou for pound figs are more nourishing than bread. There is no £ood reason why we do not ail of us eat twice as many fics as we do. If- we ate more fruit we shovld less money for pa medi- i A PREVALENT IMPRESSION. Sisters of The Social Corner: is ‘a prevalent impression, but a one, that peaches do mnof make jelly. ~ After you have canne es, spiced some more, pre bushel or two and made of peach butter, t the ;clear, fragr Jelly. Tn each half peck of pared, stoned and quartered peaches allow one cup of water and .twelve cracked kernels Put the fruit in a j nd stand it in ‘@ kettle of boiling water. Cover it closely and let the water boil an hour. By then,the peaches will be well broken and the juices flowing. Pour the fruit into a jelly bag and hang up to drip. To each pound of the juice thus gecured add the juice of one lemon. Heat the juice in a porcelain kettle, ang when it boils add a pint of .sugar to each pint of pench juice.

If you never baked any try Cthi Wash some peaches, but do not pare the in a deep baking dish, sprinkle gen- erously with light brown sugar, nearly cover with cold water and bake in a slow oven until tender. Baste frequently, replenish the water if necessary and serve with cream either plain or whipped. 1 dearly love green corn fritters.

Into this stir the grated corn. Beat hard and bake on a soapstone griddle. HANNAH WHO. SOME OTHER THINGS SARAH ANN SAW. Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: I hope you do not think “the well train- ed husband” was all I -saw at Nan- tasket beach. I saw more rubbish on the beach and more flies enjoying the food with the excursionists than I ever saw anywhere else in my life. I counted 45 flles upon the cut sugar and then stopped counting; and I saw the crowd from steamboats and a trolley line with passengers linded every hour; and the college boys in bathing trunks practicing foot ball stunts and college girls in bathing suits challenging the college boys to jumping contests. in which the girls n “She'll think 'tis full of corn” he|yere winners; and I saw the flying thought, “and I shall have her quickly | clouds and crested seas and home- caught.

FARMER'S DAUGHTER. GRANDMA’S VISIT TO THE OLD NEWGATE PRISON. Social Corner Sisters: sence of seven weeks in various parts of Connecticut, I returned and eager- ly sought the pages of the Social Cor- ner to find the Sisters had been busy with social gatherings here and there, with many deeds of loving kindness. ‘While away I visited the old prison As I wandered around the massive stone ruins and within saw some wooden lasts the prisoners had made shoes on, and some relics at Newgate. of old times. At the entrance of the Gungeon I looked down a good many feet and saw some going and coming up the long flight of steps; and that scene recalled the stories I heard in girlhood davs of the long tunnel underneath and the stone cells on each side where the prisorers were kept shut away from And the whipping post where for a misdemeanor they were tied and given so many lashes, and there was the gibbet or gallows where criminals were executed. The guide showed the rcom where Washington yenp to visit the prison and spent the m&%%e all daylight. for the dungeon ex- 1 watched the many clover that!

And T sat near an old lady who just sat smiling and knitting, with two daughters and a group of half a dozen pretty grandchildren about her, occa- sionally taking the part of the chil- dren when they were pleading for sweetmeats or larger freedom in romping on the sand. I saw a few lonely old men wand- ering about as though they needed a friend as much as they needed a va- cation. And I saw Boston harbor, and Gov- ernor's Istand, and Hull (as goes Hull so0 goes the state, say the Massachu- setts politicians), and the interned German liners, and hundreds of gulls and scores: of motor driven fishing boats and 'was in crodws that moved just as if a crowd was an every-day affair with them, and there was no pushing or frowning or scolding, but smiles and sood na- ture. .
