Folks need a lot of loving in the morn- ing, The day is all beset— 5 The cares we know and those that give no warning, For love is God's own antidote for fret. before, with cares Folks need a heap of loving at the noontime— In the battle's lull, the moment snatch- ed from strife— Half way between the waking and the croontime While bickering and worriment are rife. Folks hunger so for loving at the night time, ‘When wearily they take them home to rest— At slumber-sonz and turning-out-the- light time, : Of all the time for loving, that's the best! Folks want a lot of loving every min- ute— The eympathy of others and their smile Till life's end ‘from the moment they begin it Folks need a lot of loving all the while. —Strickland Gillilan.

BLANCHB—Letter mailed to Ethly PICKLES FOR WINTER USE. received and Social Corner Sisters: The fumes of picallili and pickles of every sort are on the air, 5o I thought a few recipes might help at least some of the in- experienced to do up their pickles for winter. Mustard Pickles — Two quarts of green tomatoes cut in eights, one bunch of celery cut in small pieces, six green | peppers, sliced. Remove sceds. One quart of small white onions. Skin them. One head of cauliflowor otk it 20 minutes in cold water, scparate into emall pieces, parboil five minutes in salted, boiling water. Mix the vege- tables and pour over them a_brine made of two cups of salt and four @uarts of vinegar. Let all-atand over dight. In the morning let the veze- tables simmer in the brine, being care- ful not to let them cook too sGZt; these pickles should be,a bit crisp, ¥ know. Drain. Now mix one cup of flour, eight tablespoons of mustard, one tablespoon of tumeric, Add one cup of cold water. slowly stirrin, antly until a_smooth paste is for then add one cup of sugar and auarts of vinegar. Cook the mixture in a double boiler until it is of the con- sistency of soft cvstard. Heat the vegetables thoroughly in this mixture place in jars and cover as in canning. This is o delclous pickl popu- lar in my family. 1 never let an au- tumn ‘pass without making a good supply. Olive Dill Pickles — One hundred small cucumbeors, one quart of small white onions, one pirt of olive oil, one ounce of ceiery seed, two quarfs of vinegar, onc-quarier pound of sround mustard, onc-quarter pound of white mustzrd seed, one tablespoon of black pepper. Cut the cucumbers and onions In slices and put them in layers, with salt between, in an earthen dish. Place a heavy dish on top to weigh them down and let them stand all nizht. In the morning drain off the liquid. Mt the seasonings with the oil, then grad ually stir in the vinegar. Pour ail over the pickles: mix well, and without oking put them away in sealed jars. These pickles are very nice made With lust the oil and vinegar, without the spices, but only the sait. Spanish Pickles — Wipe and slice thinly one peck of greer tomatoes. Skin and slice four good sized onnlons, Using a cup of salt, sprinkle it between lternate layers of tomatoes and on- lons. Cover and let it etand over night. [n the mbraing drain and put in your preserving kettle.

Cover with vinegar and heat all to the boiling point and boil for 35 minutes. Store in crocks. JANE. PAULA’S PICNIC. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Just 2 little chat this pleasant, cool morn- ing. I for one attended Paula’s pic- nic, and although our number was small, we had a good time, and our hostress did all in her power to make the day a succes: Just an fdeal wpot, 1€ only accessable: but few of tho 'Sisters are ablo to walk so far, and only those who have teams or autes could go. A table spread under the trees, as usual was loaded with goodies, and ‘we were all able to do justice to them. As usual, The Bulletin's ice cream was there, and I'm sure all the Sisters join me in thanking The Bulletin for it. Paula: T hope you did not get sick, for I know you worked hard to make the picnic a success, apd you certainly succeeded in doing your part.

Dear Cornerites: 1 am ashamed to have kept silent for so long a time. It ! hardly seems fair to enjoy your letters week . after_week and not ccntribute anything. But somehow, lately, I have not thought of anything interesting or belpful to write. The summer has passed very quietly and uneventfully. Many of cur plans were upset by the infantile paralysis which prevented us from visiting or entertaining the relatives who have children, and, with .whom we had hoped to have many pleasant times. However, these disappointments are but a small affiiction compared with what the epidemic has meant to some people, and we may get away for a little trip before long. 1 enjoyed the annual picnic at South Coventry and have been sorry that it did not seem possible to attend any of the others. , Judging from the accounts of them, they have all been most en- Joyable. Married and Happy: I am glad that Only One has not gone for away, and hope that he will find the werk pleas- ant. Am sure that he will make many triends, for he always does. Lucille: Your letter was very en- joyable. ~ Made me feel almost as though I had taken the trip with you. Aunt Mary: Your letter was very swcet and helpful Saran Anne Tighe: You wrote so en- tertainingly about your trip to Nan- tasket. Beach I hope you will take and write about many other trips. Biddy: Why this remoteness? It is @ long time since we have secen your smiling face or heard your cheerful cackle. CREAMED Aunty No It is good of you to have the an.

Work back over the loop, three singles, a picot (of th three sinzles, new making e¢ chains), picot and three singles. Now proceed and male about eight singles through the cloth. You will have to determine the correct number of these stitches, according to whether | your edge is straight or curved. Now make another loop of seven chains like the first, working over it | only as far as two single crochefs af- ter the first picot. Stop and make a chain of 11 back to the first loop, catching it into the middie of the loop by removing the needle from the last stitch and making a_single crochet through the loop.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Having attended several of the picnics, will say 1 enjoyed them all very much. At Olga’s we had a fine time and a nice day.

I love to stray in the pathless woods, don’t you know?

Occasionally Revere beach and hant have from 50,000 to 100,000 vi: itors of a Sunday and there is some- thing doing there every minute. The quaint old town of Marblehead, where ”Old Floyd Ireson for his hardness of heart was tarred ard feather and rode in a cart,” like Bass's Point, is seldom without a crowd or a boat race. Like the Salem Willows, it is a popular sun- set resort to which from miles around the people flock to see the Sun fare- welling, to the ocean, and to see night coming in across the sea with her dark cloak pinned with a star, re- maining until the beacon lights gleam are the people sit in groups and sing, and the sound of string instruments or | 1tmm Boston harbor to Cape Ann.

SARAH ANN TIGHE. PRESENTS THAT MAY BE HOME- MADE. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I think this is a good time of the year to be- gin making Christmas presents if you have not already done so. Many home-made gifts are more attractive than the ones You oan buy. By mak- ing the gift you can please the peérson by making something that he or she is particularly fond of. I herewith en- close a few sugsestions. A Carpenter’s Apron for Big Broth- er: All you need to make it is a half yard of heavy canvas or duck, some tape, and some strong thread. ~Leave one gelvage at the top, the other selv- ag at the bottom. Cut triangles off the corners at the top, hem the sides, and turn up eight inches at the bot- tom to make a larze pocket. Put a row of stitching in the middie of the turned up piece to divide the pocket, and two inches from one side another row of stitching to make pocket for the ruler or lead pencil Sew a piece of tape a half yard long at the top of the apron, one end to each corner, that makes a loop_ to. g0 over the head. At the top of each side sew a picce of tape for Strings. Painted Leather: Leather is often tooled or cut for fancy work, but not many know that painted léather is almost or quite as effective. Water colors on light or white leathers give most pleasing results. . The takes the colors much as water col- or papers do, and the texture produces the same general effect. White leather is delicate, but for the little fittings for the work bag nothing is daintier, especially if it is deco- rated in water-colors. A scissors- shield can be easily and quickly from two pieces of leather cut to a V shape, and stitched along the sides on the machine. the outside.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:—One morning the last week in August I was up and away on the early train. Had dreaded the four hours ride in the intense heat, but as I journeyed northward heard people telling of the flearful thunderstorm the night be- fore. Some trolleys were out of com- mission for hours. The rain cooled the air and all was well. Relatives came and calls were made with old-time friends by one of the party. Camp life was refreshing for a few days. Then away over the Mohawk Trail. It rained ali of the way, but we were well protected in omr ‘house on wheels. Could only cast side glances along the way. Arrived at our home town in time for dinner, numbering ten big and little folks. A perfect day and a trip to Ben- nington, Vt, was delightful. Up and down hills like the movies. Autos re- mind one of rushing to fires. Seven of us lunched on a hill under the shade of an apple tree. Admirad the different shades of green in the dis- tance; soon the autumn colors will change the landscape. My temporary stopping place mas & mile from a three-rack railroad,.and restful nishts were appreciated.
