ALWAYS HOPEFUL. USES FOR HOMELY BAR WHITE AND YELLOW SOAP. Dear Social Corner Sisters: The bar of soap we call homely and do nol think very much of is a very good friend to the housewife for cleansing purposes. If your door should squeak or it it should shut too closely, mal ing a squeaking noise when it is oper. ed, put soap on the edges that "ub to- gether and your door will open and close noiselessly. This also applies to drawers, shutters or any place wheu two_surfaces rub together. When you are cutiing a dress and desire it marked, shave a piece of soap to a point. The pattern can be laid on and the outline marked with soap, so it can be cut absolutely correct. This method for marking is splendid for turning hems, or placing trimming or_butts. Shave a_bar of yellow soap (strons) into a gallon of water and let it sim- mer on the back of the stove uniil it reaches the consistency of jelly; into this stir one ounce of carbolic acid and pour into all cracks around a sink and drain pipes to rid the kitchen of roaches and other vermin. It will kiil bedbugs or any kind of vermin; but do not let the children get it as it is deadly poison.

Here are a few whidli' may become so: Shears—big common _shears, such as ueed to cut thick felt—are mighty useful around the kitchen.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I.was thinking this morning ‘of the das spent at Aunt Abby’s and Aunt Mary and 1 wish we could have a little ciub right hero in Plainfield, It is hard for some of us to get to ‘Willimantic and Norwich. People are beginning to understand that The Corner is more than a lot of women getting together to gossip. 1 believe in real old-time gossip— the kind that keeps us in touch with old friends. I am old fashioned enough to have more interest in the doings of Aunt Mary's grandelildren; the progress of Whip-poor-will's small school boys: Aunt Abby's fowers; Crimson Rambler’s family and Paula’s farm work than in the doings of the anclent Greeks. I am interested in the dolngs of the outside world and so are other Sis- ters.

I wish we could meet together and talk it over. s The Soclal Corner stands for the best in the home and in the lives of the Sisters; and it is being read and talked of by others—even oy the men.

WAYS OF SERVING QUINCES Dear 'Social Corner Sisters: As the season for quinces is at hand I am going to send methods for using them. The quince is a native of Northern Persia, but is naturalized through the northern hemisphere. There are only three varfeties in cuitivation—the ap- ple shaped, the pear shaped and the so-called Portugal quince, which has very large fruit. Some housewives have the idea that all the quince is good for is in the way of jelly or preserves. Quinces require a long time in cook- ing, and this should be remembered in_preparing them for the table. Baked Quinces: Pare, halie and core enough quinces, to cover the bot- tom of a baking dish, fill cavities with sugar, also sprinkle with sugar. Pour in enough water to covér the bottom of the dish, cover closely, and cook in a moderate oven, basting often. Serve with cream. Steamed Quince Pudding: Pare, core end quarter some nice ripe quinces, stew until tender and chop fine. To two cups Bf quince add yolks of three eggs and one cup sugar beaten up to- gether until light; then add the juice and grated rind of one lemon, one cup chopped dates or raisins, one cup of bread crumbs and the beaten whites of the eggs. Place in a buttered pud- ding mold and ‘steam two or three hours. Serve Wwith an orange or fem- on sauce, Quince Loaf: Wash, pare and quar- ter a half dozen quinces, or enough to make a pint of pulp, add water and & little stick cinnamon, stew_un‘il ten- der, and wash to a pulp. While still hot add three-fourths cup sugar and a third box of gelatin dissolved in one- half cup cold water. Stir until all the gelatin has been dissolved, then pour into a bowl, and set in a cool place, or on ice. 'When it begins to stiffen, beat up until light, then fold in one cup of cream, and the whites of three eggs beatén stiff. When smooth, pour in a mold and place in a cool place for several hours. When ready to serve turn out and garnish With halved quinces that have been stewed in rich syrup and whipped cream.. This mekes @ nice company dish. Quince Custard Ple: Stew enough mqume-mm 2 pint of pulp, to this the grated rind and juice of half a lemon. Beat the whites of two and the yolks of four esgs, with three-fourths cup sugar until light, add quince pulp, one-half cup cream and one- o vanilla. ‘Tum into & pan lined with good pastry that Here's the elevator, Fourth floor, | price.

ELIZA JANE. TAKE LITTLE JOURNEYS. Dear Social Corner Members: Too ¢ think of travel as something only a favored few can themselve Most persons ume that it means spending a great deal of time and money. Dut t that crosses oceans and covers tinents is not the only kind: nor does in- the value of a journey depend on the number of miles that are traver: The trip that is most worth whil not neces ges). The spir- lit of the t ler is what really counts. All that is needed is to pass from vour regular wee -and-week-out surroundings to surrcundings that are fresh—if only for a day or two To do so at leace once In every year, shonld be the a f every man and woman who is truly alive. We read accasionally of someé man or woman who h score of miles of the r cver having seen a lo. {train of cars. Such a “if_the person is in good health,” is a_cause for reeret rather than for boasting. The farmer needs to break & life, from his routine at least once ev !vear: if only for a day or two. He need mot journcy several hundred miles to some city, at considerable ex. pense. In the very next county, al- though he will see no people wear- ing nose rings, or_eating with chop- sticks, or living forty odd stories above the ground, he may see a new cattle-stanchion, or a novel method of road-building, and he is certain to broaden his knowledge of the world. In the same way, if the city man never leaves pavements and “sky scrapper: he is wilfully starving himself-—depriving himself of what is best in_life. The true spirit of travel is to be [eager to see another—any other— place that the spot in which you live; est, upon the lives of strangers; to broaden yourself by learning new ways; adopt any new methods of life that may be truly beneficial to you; and finally, to return refreshed and full of contentment to the blessings that are yours at home. MOUNTAIN LAUREL. A BILL OF FARE. Dear Social Corner Sisters: is a menu that may be found palatable: Olives and Radishes Veal Mould Broiled Tomatoes Onion and Beets, au Gratin Here very, Celery Salad Cheecse Crackers Tapioca Border with Fruit Coffee Veal in a Mould—This is a dish that can be vrepared the day before and can be served cold for the next day’s luncheon or dinner.

Add thin slices of hard boiled eggs and place In a cool place, and when cold place on the ice. Serve on a platter, garnished with parsley. Broiled Tomatoes — Cut large to- matoes in two, from side to side (not from top to bottom): place them on a gridiron, the cut surface down; when well seared turn them and put on butter, salt and pepper; then cook with skin side down), until done. Onions and Beets au Gratin—Season bolled beets and boiled onions with' salt and pepper to taste.

Best wishes to all. EASTER LILY. REMEDIAL USES FOR LEMONS. Dear Social Corner Readers: It is well to know these remedial uses ofor lemons: For biliousness the julce of lemon in water before breakfast and at bed time is good for bilious trouble; keep it up for several days. Lemon will prevent scurvy, also cure it. Lemon juice cures chilblains and relieves tender feet. For chilblains sprinkle salt on a slice of lemon and rub the feet. Lemon will cure corns; bind it on. Lemon juice prevents dandruff; one ast juice, three parts water. Lemon juice is good for bee stings. Glycerine and lemon juice in equal parts put on a piece of absorbent cot- ton to wet the lips of a patient. Acne and blackheads can be cured by the use of lemon—four times as much water as lemon.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: To pack a trunk, frsc collect everything that is to be p §.nto it. Fold everything as flat as 1 W.ible Evening dresses and fancy waists may be put into thin pasteboard boxes, packed in tissue paper and tied with tapes so they won't slip around. - These will go in the bottom of the trunk. Save all the oblong pleces of paper that come home from the laundry in the men's shirts and fold shirtwalsts around these. Use stockings and things that will not wrinkle for filling in the spaces that will happen, even with the most careful packing. 'Put ccllars, belts and ribbons into -small boxes. Take folding hangers for dresses and coats. Short lengths of ribhoh with a safety pin at one end and a brass ring at the other take up no room at all in a frunk and will be useful for hanging up ekirts. f you have no hat trunk and are obliged to pack your hats in the tray, fill the crowns with. tissue paper, placs thém tn position and fasten them there with wide bands of cotton tape held to the side of the trunk with thumb tacks. Keep always in ‘mind that the more tightly the things are packed in, the rewer wrinkles you will find at in packing. ¢ % i SISTER VIRGINIA. TWO NICE RECIPES.
