Such things set me to think- ing of the many happy years spent in dear old Norwich. Death makes changes which we can- mot avoid, and leaves us very lonely. There have been four buried from my family since last March. The last one died on Christmas day. If Interested Reader remembers me as one of her old friends I will say it was my sister Margaret. Out of seven sisters she was the favorite—she will understand what that means to me. I am interested in all_the letters I read every weck in the Social Corner. little nttle P b > card accom- | until water is absorbed. ECONOMICAL RAISIN RECIPES Dear Social Corner Siste Now that the holidays are but a memory, during which time many of us have spent the last farthing of our in- comes; and no doubt some of us have exceeded It, our thoughts will ratur- ally turn fo economy for at least a month to come; and it is for this rea- son I am sending in some excellent nourishing but inexpensive recipes. 1 call them my “Raisin Recipes.” We all know raisins contain a large proportion of salts which are influen- tial in maintaifing health, and if we dispense with some of our meat dishes and substitute these in their place I do not belleve but what we will live just as long and perhaps a little longer. Raisin Bread: Two cups water or one-half milk and water, two table- spoons butter, two tablespoons sugar, two teaspoons salt, one-fourth cup luke warm water, one pouna raisins two quarts flour and one-half yeast cake. Dissolve the yeast cake in one- fourth cup of warm water; add to milk and water liquid with salt, su- gar, butter and raisins: and gradual- ly add to the sifted flour, reserving | one cup, as the thickening properties of flour differ and a soft dough is de- sired. Knead well; let rise to double its bulk: then knead lightly and quickly and let rise again: then put in tins and when light pake in a mod- erate oven. Rice and Raisin Pudding: One-half cup raisins, one-third cup ric one- half cup sugar, three cups milk, one cup water, two eggs, one-fourth tea- spoon nutmeg, if nutmeg is“liked, if not, omit. VWash rice and place in double boiler with one cup water and cook Add two cups milk and cook until rice is tender. To the remaining one cup of milik add , spice and well beaten eggs; Wwith rice, add ratsins, pour into pudding dish and set in pan of hot water and cook until custard is set. Raisin Delight: One-half pound raisins, one-half pound figs_and one- half pound shelled nuts. Put fruits and nats throush food chopper, and if not of smooth consistency put through a second time. Shape the mixture in- to a_eylindrical roll about two inches in diameter; roll in powdered sugar and wrap in wax paper until ready to use. Excellent for school lunches, or evening parties. Raisin Sandwich: Spread thin slices of wheat or sraham bread with pea- nut butter and place between each two slices a layer of finely chopped endless raisins. Caramel Apples With Raisins: One- half cup raisins, six tart apples, one cup light brown sugar and two table- spoons butter and one-third cup water. Pare, core and halve the apples and arrange in frying pan: cover over wita the raisins, then sugar; add the but- ter; cut into bits; add water and stew gently until apples are tender and butter and sugar forms a rich caramel. Raisin_Filling for Cakes: One-balf cup seedless raisins, one dozen English I thank you for my calendar and wish the editor and ail the Sisters A Happy New Year. - AUNT JULE. SPECIAL BILL OF FARE.

HOW TO BAKE BEANS WITHOUT SOAKING OVER NIGHT. 1 presume a number of my Social Corner Sisters will be horrified at th idea of hot soaking beans over night; but I really think if they should try baking them this way they would never soak them over night again, especially the small white bean, which usually is a man’s favorite bean when baked. You soak them and par- boil them and throw the best part of the bean away, and bake the skins and what is left of the bean. The men in logging camps have a cook who bakes their beans and a man who was there one winter and ate them said they were the best beans he had ever tasted, and for years after had his wife bake them as near as she could they way this camp cook baked. This i6 the way the beans were baked: A fire was made out of doors and had a large pile of hot ashes ac- cumulated; then the beans, after washing, were buried In the ashes and never looked at for three days. per. This makes a very nice dish for sup- will sweeten any mix- be chilled or frozen; one tea- spoon of extract will flavor one quart of custard or pudding; one tablespoon of extract will flavor a quart of mix- ture to be frozen; ome tablespoon of salt will season one quart of soup, sauce or vegetables; one tablespoon of water or milk should be allowed for METHQD IN HOUSEKEEPING. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I havé mever quite dared to write to the So- clal Corner Sisters, but when I read Sarah Ann Tighe's letter entitled Sys- tem in Housework I thought I :'llxht a regular program quite helpful and thought if published it might help others. Monday—Wash; press woolens, etc. Tuesday—Finish ironing. ‘Wednesday—Special cleaning; bread baking. Thursday—Recreation day. Friday—General sweeping of living rooms and chambers. Saturday—Clean bathroom, kitchen, porch, pantry; and cake baking. Special cleaning divided thus: First Wednesday of month, thors oughly clean living room and den. Second Wednesday, clean _library, hall and lilac room (chamber). Third Wednesday, clean dining room and buff room (ehamber). Fourth Wednesday, clean and pantry. Fifth Wednesday in month (when it occurs), clean storeroom and base- ment. : On Thursday mornings, téo, there are a couple of hours that may be utilized for little extras, such as pol- ishing silver, brasses, cleaning win- dows or polishing a few pieces of fur- niture. Mending and sewing can be done evenings or part of recreation day. FOXY. kitchen GREETINGS FROM O. H. O.

THE GOOD TIME OF CLUB No. 2 Dear Social Corner Sisters: Just a few minutes for a chat . this nice springlike morning. It reminds one of an April day—the sun shining and 2 sudden shower. I will tell you about the very plea ant time Doitie and Calla Lily gave us at Club No. 2. It was a nice day and we had a fine time, with, as usual, lots of nice things to eat. There were samples of various kinds of fancy work; and we had a general 2ood time. Last, but not least, was Dottie’s en- tertainment which we all enjoyed very much. One thing was forgotten: the Hall proposition. Mayfare: We missed you! Merry Widow, Aunt Abbie and some of the others were pleased™o see Mar- ried and Happy there! Tidy Addly: Thanks for post card and invitation. Shall try and come to one of your gatherings if all goes well The whistle has blown, so zoodbye. Best wishes to all Cornerites. SCOTTIE. TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are a few household hints worthy of men- tion: To Clean White Fur: Take enough dry starch, very finely powdered, and sift it through a fine sieve into a broad, clean tin pan. Set the pan near enough the fire for the powdered starch to get warm, stirring it fre- Quently. Then roll and tumble about the white fur among the powdered starch till it is well saturated. Shut it up closely in & bandbox and let it re- main unopened for a fortnight. It will then look clean. When you put away white fur pro- ceed as ‘above, using a very - large quantity of the pulverized starch and put into the box some lumps of cam- phor tied up in thin, white papers. Keep the box closely shut and do not gpen it to look at the fur tll you want again. Will then md a good, clean white. T If you have a white velvet or silk hat that looks well enough to wear a second season, lay beside it in the bandbox a cake of white wax, such as you get at a druggist's; cover the band box closely and do not on any account open it till you are to wear the hat again. You will then find the cake of wax much discolored, but the ‘We can’t do that, for our ovens would not admit of a kettle that would hold water enough; but we might be able to if we baked a pint, or even two quarts; but I will describe my method of baking beans. T wash_one quart of beans thorough- 1y after having picked them over, and then I put a layer of native pork in the bottom of the pan; then a layer of beans (about half of them) one onion, one tablespoon of butter, then the rest of the beans. On the top &lices of pork. Then I add two quarts of bolling water and one-quarter tea- spoon mustard, one teaspoon molasses, salt, pepper and a little ginger; pour over the beans and put them in the oven and bake all day Friday, Friday night and Saturday, and they will be a beautiful red and you will have your beans each one separate and not muss- ed. These are very nice; if you don't believe it, just try it. ‘After we have used the baked beane 2 while T make 5 Bean Beauties in sandwiches—Mash the cold beans with chopped onions or chopped cold bolled eggs and a little catsup—very nice to put on your bread. Plain Bean Beauties—Put cold beans through sieve and then make up into cakes and grate cheese on the top. This is simply delicious to eat with cornbread:; or if you like Sunday night for lunch. A Delicious Way to Fix Baked —Fut two slices of nat spider and fry brown: ©of onion; then hat as white as ever. To make one’s house really efficient there should be a memorandum pad and pencil handy, yet not obtrusive, in every room. The simplest form is where a smooth, slim, brass nail is driven directly through’ the upper part of a small tablet of paper, and then in- to some inconspicuous part of the wood moulding of the room. To the nail is then tied a narrow ribbon with sharpened pencil ready for use. But 2 pericil for which one has to fumbls before getting it by the right end, is as much bother as an ironholder hung by a loop of tape instead of by a little brass ring. It always means delay ‘when one is in a:hurry. Sharpen the pencils for your memorandum each one at both ends and notch in the middle. At the notched place tie the cord or ribbon by which the pencil is to be attached to its nail instead of fasten- ing it on at “the heel.” Any one want- ing to use your “pad and pencil” in haste, when light is poor, or hands are full, will be glad to find that either end of the pencil grasped will be the right one. When you have a cold: It is quite true tl many persons do not con- sider a cold as a serious matter, and on the other hand there are too many scared by the common ailment. There are some things which snould be tried at home to see if some relief cannot be gained. Erequently a cold is caus- i B i g Eq kY 8. sg’? lara or any smal of sifted flour on shel on it.

Married and Happy was there and as usual had her workbag which con- tained beautiful samples of fancy work. She most always has some- thing very unique and pretty. We were very sorry to have her go so soon, but other business called for an early departure. Aunty No. 1 was also_here instructions in tatting. My! her shuttle fly.

Don't blame you at all for acting like the 0ld scratch when she does let you off. Don’t show her this letter for she and I are good friends, and she might get anery at me for giving you such good advice. How did you ever get a chance to send the’ lollypops without her knowing it?

Dear Social Corner Sisters:—I do hope you enjoyed my little story of last week which was true in every detail excepting the names used, for I @id not find it in my heart to ex- pose our Sister's name. This time I am going to give a few recipes for different ailments which at present are very seasonable and will explain the action of the ingred- ients used: For Bronchial Coughs—Take one ounce each of the following and steep with two quarts of water for one hou Horehound, licorice, elm bark, thor- oughroot. bark; strain, and add one pint of wine and one pint of molasses. Take one-half wine glass every four hours, and it will relieve the worst cases of bronchitis and croup. Horehound was used as far back as we can trace, and cuts phlegm almost instantly. Licorice serves as a cathartic carrying away the waste material. Elm bark soothes the mucus mem- brane in its downward course. Thoroughwort or boneset is what grandmother always used at first sound of cough and cold and will pro- duce a slight sweat and eliminate the cold through the pores. Flax seed has also a tendency to in soothe the membrane, as the oll which it contains greases the air passages and makes conghing easier. ‘Wild cherry contains hydrosyanic acid, which in the minute quantity which cherry bark contains is an ex- cellent emetic. ‘This remedy I have known to cure the most stubborn cough; and yet it is simple to mak Rheumatic Relief—Take one ounce each of Prickly ash bark, queen’s de- light, saesafras bark, pairiera brava, and princes pine and steep with two quarts of water for one hour, and add one pint each of wine and molasses. Take one-half wineglass morning and night. This will be found to be of at benefit to those who are suf- rers from neuritis pains and mus- cular rheumatism. Nerve Tonic and Sleep Producer— Take one ounce each of valerian, gen- tier, scullcap, cohosh, licorice and ‘mountain cranberry and steep -With four pints of water at very low heat for one or one and one-half hours; strain and add one pint of wine and one pint of molasses.

Dear Social Corner Sister: The second one of the delightful gatherings of Club Mo. 2 took place Jan. 4th on Hedge avenue at the home of Si and Dottle. B Lucy Acorn and I being the first ar- rivals, thought we would improve our leisure moments by surveying Si and Dottle’s lovely bungalow. It is situ- ated so very high, that they have a grand view of our beautiful Norwich, The Rose of New England. The Sisters arrived with their work bags, and each bringing some beauti- ful plece of handiwork to be shown and admired. Aunty No. I's sweater-bag was hand- some and I think it would have taken the prize. Don’t you think it would be lots of fun and very interesting if some little Dprize were given for the prettiest arti- cle made by hand and brought to the gathering? ‘After chatting and laughing to our hearts’ content, the aroma of the | delicious coffee ‘preceded our introduc- tion to the dining room, which was beautifully draped in orange colored trimmings, The Corner color. The ta- bles were loaded with the best of ev- erything one could think of. Following lunch, amusements were enjoyed until late in the afternoon, when, thinking hostess and assistants must be tired, we started for home. We thank Dottie's mother, Dottie and Calla Lily for giving us such a lovely time. + Si was Invisible, 50 we had no opportunity to thank him, so I thank him now. I thank all the Sisters who so kindly remembered me on Christmas. BOB WHITE. GO BACK TO GRANDMA’S WAYS. Dear Social Cornerites: Once more T will make myself known to you all. Perhaps most of you have thought I had departed to ‘parts unknown, but I am still among the rocks and rills of 01d Connecticut, and weekly follow, The. Corner very closely. Perhaps am somewhat Iike Etta Barber, the dear soul who has her hands well occupied. FHow some of the readers must miss her, for her sugges- tions were alwavs so_ practical, and quite likely have lifted the burden from many a puzzled mind with her peints from time to time. I do hope we skall soon hear from her again. At this time of the high cost of liv- ing so many of us are trying to make both ends meet, and still try to have our food well up to the standard; and butter soaring from 42 to 55 cents a pound! Let's go back to grandma’s days. We all know what good dough- nuts and cakes and cookies came forth. She never thought of using butter. She always rendered the fat from her ducks and geese and chick- ens, which was as rich in nutriment as cow’s butter. If we would try it, we should find quite a saving in our butter bill. 1 trust some dear reader will fry it. KOCHIA. Volantown. GOOD WORDS FROM AUNT MARY.
