Don't you like your little corner of the world? 3 z Have you sweetened it with sunshine and with song? Have you tried to make it brighter as you toiled, B Have you tried to right its sorrow and its wrong? Do you think it's just the finest spot you know, And the nobdlest spot for effort that could be? Have you made it shed around a brighter glow? Have you tried to help the rest of us to see? Are you happy in your station and your time, And contented with things go on; Have you made the little corner round you chime, Does it sparkle with the dewdrops in the dawn? Do the thousands that go marching on their way Stop to smile before the beauty that you've brought From the chaos and the turmoil of the fray By a little friendly purpose sweet thought? the way that and Don't you like the little corner he has given For, your gladness and your use and your aelight? Have you made it just a little nearer heaven, Have you turned it from its darkness and its night? It's your corner and it ought to be so fine No other ' corner anywhere could glow With the beauty and the gladness and the chine Than your special little corner's leatned to know. —Baltimore Sun. INDIVIDUALITY IN STATIONERY. Dear Social Corner Sisters: There is such a thing as individuality in eta- tionery, not ‘marked by offensive per- fumery' or baby pink. Although white paper of some shade is always a safe choice, many smart women mow use various shades of gray blue. There are also some deep creams, almost verging on yellow, that are considered smart. One woman with a taste for things unusual, even if a bit bizarre, had a plate engraved with her own signature of her first name. This she had print- ed in various colors at the top of her stationery. Typewriting is such a usual accom- plishment today that many women have sheets of note paper especlally cut and engraved for the typewriter. These sheets usually fold once or twice into large and almost square en- velopes. One of these little letter cases is made of leather and holds within its five by six inches a package of com- bination paper and envelopes, note- books and address books and a blot- ting book in which to write the letters, These may be bought at a high or a low price, or be made at home, A good deal of character and style can be put into everyday correspond- ence. SUSIE. TO MARK SMALL LAUNDRY. Dear Social Corner Sisters: And here’s just a ripple on the ocean- of thought: Stitch the toes of your stockings together on the machine. With longest stitch, when sending them to wet wash, and one corner on pxtreme outer edge of your good hand- kerchiefs and they won't be so likely to get lost, or mixed with others. I thank Joseph Doe for the seed. I have one very pretty blossom and many that are budded. I always have juck with dahlias because I care for them. Interest and care will make yood flowers. I am making Jell this Week—grape and_apple. Yours for the Social Corner. g J.B. T. TWO CORRECTIONS, Dear Cornerites:—In view of the fact that a somewhat lengthy letter from me was published last week I have some hesitancy about writing this week. But it simply is to make & couple of corrections. If any of you should care to try the recipes given in my former epis- tle they might as well be right. In the recipe for creamed salmon I ne- glected to say that on the cracker crumbs on top of the dish I put small pieces of butter so that in the process of ¥rowning they will not get too dry. In the recipe for tapico pudding the printer omitted “one pint of rich milk,” that quantity to start with, and if you find it too stiff, more can do added. If milk is not available, water will do. Kind regards to all the Social Cor- mer Sisters from AUNT MEHITABLE. .(I/Z. L7te ANTISEPTIC POWDER HYGIENE LITTLE THINGS FOR SCRAP BOOK. Chloroform rubbed well into woolen g0ods and applied to the material over a thick padding of cloth will remove grease spots. Is your family fond of spring lamb with mint sauce? And is it sometimes hard to get the mint? Why not raise it yourself? All you need for your gardening _experiment is a glass _of Clear water and a little suniight. Put the mint in the water and allow it to stand on the window sill, where it will get plenty of sun and fresh air. Mint nowadays is used in ices, confections, sandwiches and salads, as well as in dressings for meats. A good way to mark bottles contain- ing poison is to push two pins into the side of the cork at right angles to each other. Silver forks that have been used for fish are apt to retain a fishy taste, especially if they have been used i eating iippered herrings or soused mackerel. Th fishy taste can be removed readily by washing the forks in cold water before washing them in the dishpan with the other dishes in hot soap water. Cold water, used first, will completely take away the objec- tionable taste. To glve gravy a dark brown color and impart to'it a delicious flavor, use a little sugar that has been browned in the following way: Place sever#l teaspoons of granulated sugar a saucepan with a very little water. It will in a_ few .minites turn a decp brown and have a burnt flavor. This browned sugar can be kept indefinitely YOUR in a small glass bottle. One of the most delicious salads is potato, peanuts, in equal parts, cov- ered with mayonnaise and topped by a cold boiled frankfurter. It tastes bet- ter than it may sound and was served at a popular “Dutch” party. Yours for the success of The Corner. RUTH. MAY BE OF HELP TO YOU. Dear Cornérites:. As we.dn knowledges wovk ds more q ekilfully_done. \ On fan crochet work gives hint to those who are croct ase our kly and woman who does.a great deal of *h ends on hand towels. Instead of hav- ing to punch the crochet necdle through the material every ime you want to fasten vour loops—1with its en- suing hurt to the fingers and irregu- larity of outline on your towel—sew Battenberg braid to the end of the tow When you go to make your loops the open spaces will be ready, the outline quite perfect and much patience saved The braid may also be used'on Turkish toweling. Half the pianos of this country catch winter colds exactly as human beings do. They get hoarse or have a cough or a stiff note, or some other simtar complaint which cannot be cured by home remedies, but which requires te- dious and expensive doctoring. In or- der to prevent these avoidable ail- ments a piano should be kept in a moderately warm room, temperature is even, say 6) or 70 de- grees, the year round—not cold one day and hot the next. The instrument should not, however, be too near the source of heat. It should be kept closed and covered with a felt cloth en not in use, particularly in very cold weather. Always place the plano close to but not against an inside wall. Instead of sewing on the buttons with the metal loop in back, there are fasteners costing one cent a package, each package containing a tiny stil- letto with which to make a tiny hole in the goods. The button is slipped through the hole and held in place with a small wire with a V in the center. These are things it is well to know. PROSBRPINE. RECIPES FOR CABBAGE SALADS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: When T make cabbage salad I chop half a cab- bage very fine, beat to a froth one cup of cream. one tablespoon of vinew gar. two tabiespoons of sugar and a little salt. Place two of the large leaves of the cabbage In a salad dish £0 that they form the appearance of a half open shell, put the chopped cabbage in the leaves and pour over it the dressing. If celery is in season this is im- proved by using half cabbage and half celery, chobping them together. Cold Slaw:—One half a head of cabbage, chopped fine, one cup of vinegar, two tablespoons of sugar, salt and ‘pepper to taste and one table- spoon of butter. Let the dressing heat thoroughly and just before it scalds add one beaten egz. Pour the dress. ing over the cabbage and let it stand a few minutes before servinz, Very nice with meats of any kind. Hot Slaw:—Slice with a sharp knife a solid head of cabbage, put It into Kettle and add half a cup of hot wa- ter, or more if needed; cover closely and cook from 20 to 30 minutes Then add and stir through it quickly sait and butter to season, with one esg well beaten; at the last two table- spoons of vinegar and serve hot. Lobster Salad Cut the meat of 800d sized_lobster in half-inch dice, saving out the coral, mix with two leaves of lettuce broken in small pleces and half a cup of mayonnaise dress- ing. Place the inside bleached let- tuce leaves around the edge of the salad dish, or use.them for cups, put in the lobster and cover with mayon- naise dressing, using the coral cur in small pieces and the small claws for a garnish. J Peach Blossom Cake: Take one cup of pulverized sugar, one-half cup of butter and mix together untll thick like cream; then add two teaspoons of where the baking powder, one half cup of sweot milk, the beaten whites of three eggs and cup of flour. In the flour put a teaspoon of cornstarch and flavor with vanila. Married and Happy: I hope to see you next time to our picnic.

If when you are making pies and they seem so very julcy, sprinkle bread crumbs on the bottom crust. I think it a nice idea to sift them through the sifter; this insures a crisp undercrust while ‘the crumbs cannot be seen or tasted. Potato Chambre (French)—Raw po- tatoes sliced and fried with grated cheese. : Gnoohi a la Neapolitan (Italian)— Boil and mash one pound of potato; mix while. hot with enough flour to make hard dough, salt and pepper to taste ang bake in a pan. After rolling them up the size of walnuts. Drop In boiling water for ten minutes. Duchess Potato (American)—Take mashed potato, thicken with an egs, add a little butter, salt and pepper: to taste; bake in small pans. Potato O'Brien (Irish)—Take cold boiled potatoes and cut into dice shape and add small pleces of bacon and sreen peppers; brown in a pan. This chef did not want me to men- tion his' name, but he gave me thls secret of left-over baked potatoes, ap- pearing as freshly baked at a second serving: Simply take a baked potato, cut off the end, then scoop it out and put in a bowl, to this add a bit of salt and butter and some boiling milk; then put.it back in the skin and bake it over. y 1 hope these recipes will help some of the Sisters. BETTY BROWN. CRANBERRY MARMALADE. Dear Soclal Corner Sisters: Here- with I enclose a few recipes Cranberry Marmalade: Marmalade may be made from the pulp remaining after the juice for cranberry jelly has been drained off the fruit. Rub it quickly through a wire strainer or coarse linen cloth. The stewed fruit must not stand in the wire strainer, but if rubbed through rapidly has not time to discolor. Sometimes the pulp is cooked with an equal amount of apple and then strained and sweetened and made into marmalade or used for pies. To such a bise seedless rais- ins and o often added. These may be run meat chopper, or ieft in distinct sections. An oranse and half a cup of raisins combined with one pint of the cranberry and pple pulp and one pound or less of suzar ‘are ' good proportions. This should be cooked slowly in a shallow kettle until it becomes thick. Put it away in jars. Red Raspberry Jellie for red raspberry jellie: double boiler, without water of raspberries, and force the mass through a finé sieve. Add two cups of sugar, one-half cup of apple pulp, and one-half cup of water; boil the { mixture until it is very thick; after {that let it simmer, but not boil. Add, leaf by leaf, onc ounce of leaf gelatin that has previously been soaked in one-half cup of water for As a heat in a two cup: hours. Do not add a leaf until the one before it has thoroughly dissolved; allow twenty zallons or more for the addition of the gelatin. Let simmer at least five minutes after the last leaf is solved: then it should drip from the paddie in thick streams. Drop in inch wafers on cold marble or waxed papers. When the wafers are firm, dredge lightly with gramulateq,suzar, lift each with a thim kaife, place to- gether, base to base, and dredge thor- oughly. The jellies’ will be ready for use in a few hours, Purple Plum Jellies:—Steam one { pouna—about two dozen—of purple plums, and force them through a fine sieve. Eoll this pulp and one pound of sugar until the mass is thick, and then add, as just des one-quarter ounce of leaf gelatin, pre- viously soalked two hours in one-half cup of water. _Drop the wafers and finish them the same as raspbarry jel- | lies. Wire frames will make the dr ing quicker ana better. MOUNTAIN LAUREL, HOW TO FIT CORSETS. Dear Sisters of Tf_ Social Corner: A great many people find it difficut to find a corset that will fit the hips and also fit above the waist. You will | find that in getting a corset large | enough to fit the hips, if that is the case, You will requirg one or two sizes larger. Adjust the corset to fit the hips and then have some one take up the seam to fit above the waist, and then rip up the trimming on the %op and take up the seams; stitch down flat and sew on the lac You will notice sometimes a corset will poke out in the back and if you draw the corset up too tight at the top then it destroys the lines in the same corset. I have found when fit- ting corsets that the majority need just a little shape V taken up at the top of the corset next to steel of the lacing. That will correct that fault. If your cohset gets too large vou may take o seam right down the middle of the back each side next to this same back steel lacing. If it is a 25 and you would like it 24 or 22 take up one-half inch seam each side or one inch seam each side. I have been a corsetiere for about twenty vears and I find that lacing a corset has more to do with the fit of a corset than one would think. The following is the proper way to fit a corset: Use a five yard lacing, knot ends of five yards. Insert ends of laces in top lets (from under); pull laces through eyelets evenly until the temporary knot is between the top eyelets; continue inserting from under or down until you come to the walst llng The miiddle or center of the waist tape is the waist line proper. Here skip one hole (No. 1), inserting lacing in evelet (No. 2) nearest lower edge of ‘walst line. Insert laces then from over in eyelet (No. 1) skipped on the same side; leave loops. Con- tinue lacing on down from under to eyelet opposite fullest part of hip (not bottom of corset) and make double runner loops. Continue lacing down to bottom of corset from over, tying ends in a permanent knot on each side. Leave your laces knotted each side of top and bottom of corset. Pull corset as far apart as laces will per- mit, six to eight inches, ready for ad- Justing. Comparatively few women take the time or trouble to find out how to ad- just a corset properly. Now having left your corset six to eight inches apart stand with heels together; place the corset well down on the figure back and front; be sure that the walst tape (or the smallest part of the cor- set) is on the waist line of the body. Now, so many ask me if it makes a difference which hook you fasten first. I find in fastening the top hook first it holds the corset on the figure. Take the bottom of corset on front steel in each hand; fasten the hook next to the bottom, then the bottom hook, then open the top hook and fasten the remaining hooks. Grasp the corset at the bottom with both hands and take a deep breath and pull your- self up in your corset. Pull the back of the corset well down into place. Now fasten your garters front only, well inside of the limbs so that the garters wjll not tear the cloth from the front stay. This keeps the skirt from wrinkling and allows freedom in stepping -down. enorsesideoyy2)3 stepping up. Then take lacing in cach hand and give a firm, even pull, least two | ibed, one and | Arop thern. D Hot e. ThIS anchors rop them. Do fiot tie. - “ancho: the corset at the waist line. Take hold of the hip loops the same as walst line; draw very snug. Do not pull the corset together at the bot- tom. The corset: when adjusted com- pletely should be open 2 1-2 to 2 in- ches equally distant at top and bot- tom and center. Tie temporarily. Take up the slack in the lacings from the hip loops up to the waist, . also from the top of the, corset down to the waisf. Draw up the slack; tle the walst laces with a single loop abont one-half inch to the ifiside of the back steel and insert the laces under the steel in the most convenient hollow of the body. Again pull hip laces; tie with a single loop, the same as’ the waist, one-half inch from the back steel; insert laces under the back steel. No Never tie laces around the waist as it breaks the corsets, soils the corsets. destroys the waist line, ruins the general line of ~the cor- sets, wears out the cloth. Now fasten your remaining garters; if you find the back garter hard to fasten open the garter wide and kneel on a chair fastening while in a kneeling pos tion; then tighten the garter or place foot’ on a foot-stool or chair rung, putting one hand between the limbs and the other hand around back of the limbs and fasten; then tighten the garter. Draw bust tape up and tie. Never tie the bust draw tape while standing; it must be done in a sitting L TR B spread of the body while sitting. ¥ % KITTY LOU. or down), and l AUNTY NO. 1 PICNIC OCT. Tith. Dear Editor and Sisters:—After a week's vacation spent at the shore of the Niantic river with Polly Winter- green and others, I will take time this lovely cool morning and write a short letter to you all. As you have all heard it hinted that I was to have a picnic sometime in the near future, T wish to say I _am in hopes of having it Oct. 11th. You will hear more deflnitely a little later. Everything will be as usual, and I will try to have conveyances to and from the station. f Lucille: I hope the date mentioned will 3 convenient for you and Judith Eliza Jane and Scottie: 1 was very sorry not to see you that day. Olga, Lonesome Pine, Tidy Addly, Althea’ and Slim Jim: Was glad you could come. What a time we did have. I hope we may meet again sometime. 4 | Theoda: 1 know you are enjoying vourself. You certainly would even in zero weather. 1 was so gld to see yvou. Well it I don’t look out I will lengthen my short letter into a long one. Aunt Mehitable: I do hope you 1 be able to meet with us the 11th. Best wishes to all. - AUNTY. HOW YOU SOLVED MY PROB- LEMS. When I awoke on Saturday morn- ing, I must confess to experiencing something nearly akin to despema- ency. When I analyze? my feelings, 1 | sprang from the fact that I ought to| | slecomplish an aimost _impossible | number of things for one day. In the first place, my city boarders | would come tardily to breakfast, and, furthermore, would expect an appe- tizing onme. I did wish I could think of a new way to present the inevit- able cge. Then, pre 1 my pears were just at the erving stage. 1 had bashels of hem and could ill afford to let them 2o to waste. T'd use up those tomatoes, if T had a ®ood recipe for catsup. Of course, 1 had more than the usual amount of cooking—But I guess I won't tell you how it ail came out. 1 was just going to boil the eggs when Rural Delivery brought my mail. 1 was iderably dismayed to read in r ter's letter that Dick would be eight years old on Monday 1 had never missed sending a re- membrance, but this time I had noth- ing at hand With a sizh I turned to the Social Corner of The Bulletin. My husband remarked with good- natured sarcasm that he wished he had time to read the paper. I thought 1 aidn't have, wher my eye foll on egg recives which “Quecn of the May” had sent. Eureka! The boarders | would get baked eggs. (More than | that they got them a different way | every morning for a week and liked them, too!) And if you will believe it there right before me, was Loretta’s tomato cats- | up recipe, and under it a whole let- ter devoted to canned pears which Paula had been thoughtful enough to send. “Anything vou want at the vil- lage?" asked my husband. “I do wish you'd stop_at the house | at the forks of the road and beseech the oldest Smith girl to come up and help me peel pears this morning. Get | on vour knees to her,—bribe her! But get her started! I've got to do pears” ““And, too, what could you get Dick for his birthday? “Some molasses and sugar, prob- ably, sceing its a_country grocery store,” replied my husband trying to be facetious. “Wait a minute,” said 1, as a happy inspiration came to my mind. I grabbed for the Social Corner, and I glanced over the columns. I imply chuckled when I saw, “For a DboV's present.” You can purchase two—" but yvou read it, too! This solved the present problem. I started to make cookies. when I found I had lost my recipe. That was #eas Aunt Mary's drop cookies proved to be better than my old kind. 1 was peeling pears, with the Smith girl working industriously at my side, when the ‘phone rang. The minis- ter's wife said: ‘Can_you possibly give us an idea for a fair, or a bazaar, or anything of the sort? “No, indeed” I gasped, “I haven't an atom of originality—hold the line a minute’ Tt seemed 1 had eomething better than Inkte originality, for I found, to my great surprise, be it said. Easter Lily's plans for Hiawatha's Harvest Festival, and between you and me and the Editor, it's going to beat anything the sewing society has ever given. By this time my brain had grappled the dinner problem. Yes, warm doughtnuts. But what else” Guess what T did! I made creamed sal- mon, a la Aunt Mehitable. And while the boarders were Gevouring that as if they had devoted the morninz to mountain climbing, 1 dropped a doughnut into the smoking fat. Well, such fat-soaked things as those promised to be, were hopeless, that's all. Then it half came to me that somebody had suggested a remedy in The Corner. Begonia saved the day for me—and the dessert for the ‘boarders. You may not belleve ft, but T actu- ally had time toward the end of the afternoon to begin my luncheon set— and all because I eouldn't resist try- ing Mad Malaprop’s scheme for imi- tating tatting. T Jove tatting, but I never tried to do any. ‘The doorbell rang. T found there The Bulletin man. “Your sublcription expires next ‘Wednesday. Will_you renew?” 3 Really, I guess I looked at the man as if he were temporarily deranged. ~“Will 1 renew?' 1 repeated. “Of course,” and my tone must have sounded impolitely sarcastic. Then it occrred to me thatihe: couldn't|lid of the saiicepan and cook gently know_how valuable it wds (o' m; And, ‘@ I held up my copy si with pear, tomato, doughtnut grease, and creamed salmon, I said in tragic ‘tones, “Renew, and let not a moment be lost. I might not be alive this afternoon without it.” THE FIRST BROWNIE. AUNT JERUSHA’S SURPRISE. Dear Social Corner Sisters:—I thought 1 would have to tell you of my surprise this afternoon. My bet- ter half and T had just sat down to. dine on succotash, and all of a sud- den we heard an’ auto coming right to the door, and it proved to. be our dear old neighbors, some of wham we had not seen in five years, and others in ten; but we were pleased to see them all, and hope they all got home safe. a A week agc who should auto into the yard but Mr. and Mrs. Remember Me, and their little girl. Ve appre. cated her call very much, and shall try to return it in the future. Haven't seen my young friends from Baltic auto into the yard yet. Johan: Glad to see your letter and to hear you were able to ride out: and hope you will keep on improving. Olga: I was so sorry I could not come to your picnic, but I only knew it the day before about 2 p. m., as that is the time I get my Courler. Thank you for your invitation to us. Glad you had o nice a day. Fried T. of H.: Hope you enjoyed your trip Fourth of July. I saw by the paper you went. I had on auto- ride that day, also, only it was a short one. Hope Friend Mrs. of M. is in good health, and the daughter-in-law on the gain. Well, Theoda, how is the baching? Hope you got home safe. 1 reached home that night just as it began to sprinkle, 50 did not set wet. 1 hope Dom Pedro is still ing; was glad to meet her. Also, glad to_View the agent's rug making. Smiling Sue: I think I know you. Don’t you live down below with a family “of ducks in your yard? I heard a person once say if she should write t0o The Corner they would all smile, and she should her- self, so I take it that is why you take the name. Hope the man with the chicken under his coat got home all right. Must say, hello to Aunt Sarah, hop- ing she has got rested after waiting on uncle, and I hope tc meet her improv- gain.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corne Perhaps now that apples are obtain- able you would enjoy Apple Charlotte—Six large tart ap- ples, one-half cup of sugar, one-half box gelatin, one cup cold water, one pint cream. Pare and strain apples, then press through a colander and add sugar to them while hot. Add the gel- atin, which has soaked for half an hour in the cold water, and stir until dis- solved. Stand in a pan of ice water and stir continually until the mixture bezgins to thicken; then fold in the cream, which has been beaten to a Stff froth. Turn into a pudding mold and serve when hot Cheese Creams are very simple and ¥ to prepare. Make wich of bread and Ty in butze The cheese will melt to a rich creamy consi ncy. Serve while hot. The chafing dish is very well adapted for frying them, and served with hot cof- fee or cocclate they made an ideal afternoon luncheon or an appetizing Sunday night supper. Peach Shortcake is delicious. Make a rich shortcake batier and after bak- ing split open and spread with butter. Pile with freskly sliced peacies, cover with powdered s ar, and over these spread whipped cream. Cut this short- cake into squares before serving. Serve with a sauce made of the fresh peaches which have been mashed and sweet- cned. Whipped cream may be piled on top. Apple Sauce With Skins On—When you make apple sauce the next time. instead of paring, try cooking the ap- ples with the skin on. When soft re- move from the fire, put through the colander to remove skins. Remove to the stove, adding 1gar to taste, and simmer for fifteen minutes. If the ples are red ones the sauce will be a lovely color and the skins give it an adtmal flav JANE, VERY PRETTY CORSET COVERS. Dear Sisters of the So. am going to tell the readers Social Corner how to make very pret- ty corset covers, and they beauties, I get one yard of bleachcd cotton cloth, two yards of beading f. ve cents and two yards of lace about one inch wide, which five cents, and I use about one yard and one-quarter of ribbon for heading. Then nse carbon paper and transfer the patter Use patterns from any paper that you take that has them. I made onc hand- some one from The Bulletin patterns. Work it with silkateen, as I usually have that on hand, a vine ard flowers, green vine and flowers, whatever <olor vou wish, and your waist costs you about thirty-five cents at the most, and T think vou will agree with me when finished; they are handsome. I have one corset cover with the spray of the ever-beautiful yellow y_with brown center; and when wear it with a thin waist, espe- cially the muslin waists, ou would be surprised. They are much prettier than ribbons showing through, and not very costly. DAISY. AN ECONOMICAL DISH. Dear Social Corner Sisters: If you are looking for an cconomical dish— and what housewife isn't when food- stuffs keep climbing higher and high- er in price —try stewed ox tonsue served with sauce piguante. This is a very appetizing dish and should be given a trial. The recipe for Mushroom Pudding offers a new way of using this delica- v. Those who like vegetable marrow 11l be sure to think it delicious serv- in vegetable form with rice, herbs and tomatoes. Cream of Corn Sou tongue with sauce piquante, Fre frieq potatoes, mushroom pudding, vegetable marrow and tomato salad, crackers and cheese.

Boil the ox tongue in plenty of ‘water, adding the onion and spices to +he water. When well cooked take it out and remove the skim when cold. Then next day, take the fat off the liquor. Melt the dripings in a saucepan, brown the flour in it and add to it about three-quarters pint of liquor in which the tongue was boiled. Add the sultanas and wine to the sauce, and browning if necessary. Stir while it comes to the boil, add the tongue cut in slices, and let all simmer about ten minutes.
