AUNT JULE'S LOUNGE. Dear Social Corner Sisters: A num- ber of years ago the man of our house wanted to make a change from the city to the country. He advertised in the Country Gentleman for a house with piece of ground for a garden. He succeeded in obtaining a very fine house with about an acre of iand, a fruit orchard and a fine place to keep hens. The house and the sur- roundings were in perfect order, as it joined the estate of the owner——gates or doors .to outbuildings were not swinging on one hinge. The rooms were very large and in one room -in particular was a corner that needed something to fill in. A lounge would be just the thing, so I de- cided I would make one. 1 had an old bedstead that I used. I sawed off the head and footboard, left the sides, as they were the desired length. 1 sawed out a_ plece fraom the head and foot- bars, narrowing down to the width of a lounge—when cleated together it was very strong. I sawed off the slats so that they fitted nicely across, nail- ing them to the sides. I sawed four tarre] staves just the right width for of something that will interest the friend, T jot it Sown on the back of the enveiope. When T answer I can “Yours is before me.,” in all sin- for ‘1 have it right there to answer any questions, or to ‘write something therein, and after 1 have told of all the current news say: “Now to your ietter,” and proceed to answer all questions and of other things. Isn’t it provoking to ask a friend Guestions of importance, and when the reply comes not ony question has been answered. Some say: “T do not like to write ietters.” When T hear a ‘person make that remark the air commences to get blue all around my head. Think of the many privations, no doubt, their parents went through in order that the boy or girl -might be able to write. Think of the many who have gone to their reward who never had the priv- ilege_ to learn, and how gladly they would have embraced the opportunity. Let ns all enjoy t right and con- sider it one of the ‘en talents. Always remember poor writing is better than none—if can be read. Tn =mending letters it is safe to . put the address on the back of the “en- velope, and if anything sheuld hap. pen “apd the letter not be recefved, TUnel»"Sam will push the button and do the rest.

Now please, dear writer, answer this questjon, but think it over hefore answerin “Have you treated the church right ” You said they come for money - or other things when they are in need Dear Sisters: When you feel dis- couraged and down-hearted, just go to singing.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: At the risk of having you all rise in a bo®y for purpose of sitting on me, I am going to put in a plea for the social side of The Corner. 1 take it from your letters that you think any personal remarks, queries or allusions are out of place in The Corner and shouid not be allowed. Well, a little harmless gossip is not vut of place at a social gathering: why should it be in thé Social.Corner? As for the woodbox, Aunt Tary. it is no joke. but a reality. 1 belleve Ready ‘has a standing invitation for ny Sister to call and sit on it. The woodbox is not a secret and has been in The Corner long enough to be easily recognized. Last year Etta Barber told us she was keeping an account with her hens and would let us know about it at the end of the year. The year, I believe, is up. T have waited a long thne to have Pleasant View tell us how French peasants raise tomatoes and apples: also about the umbrella handle: In a letter printed Septem. 1915, Brother Bill gave excellent advice for improving The Corner, the gist of It being “do it yourself—not wait for somebod. but since he has not appeared again, he must be like the rest, “willing for George to do it.” Just one thing more: I heartily ap- prove of having onlv. one pen name. and hereafter shall aiwave sizn garself BETSY BOBBET. were sown on good ground Will mention one instance: U tainty prevailed in regard to continu- ing an important work—the workers were discouraged aimost to the point of discontinuing it. when the little message sent from Connecticut to Towa, went to the hearts, inspiring new ! courage. and was the means of con- vincing them that with renewed effort and grezter faith all obstables might be overcome. The president said it was “the mes- sage that came to me—I believe it was written for me The scale was turned. Today the werk is and growing bevond their tions. We will all agree that there is no space wasted in the “Man o Talks” column that we all wish there were two columns jusrt,‘uk! it—that we never can destroy on€ bit of it—but send it to those who do not have it I feel that if the fifty-two colums of these ipteresting “Talks” were printed in book form, it would be a book we rhould want in our libraries. = Dear Social Corner Sisters: 1 sending some rocipes for cereals: Scrambled. Eggs and Cereal: Take a cup of cold cereal and brake it up with a fork. Deat two eggs with a cup of milk and start them cooking as for scrambled ezgs. When the eggs be- gin ‘to set, whip In the cerea] with a silver fork, and keep tossing the mix- til it is thoroughly blended and Season and serve at once. Mix two cups of cold cereal with two-thirds of a cup grated cheese, add the beaten yolk of one ezz and enough milk to make the mixture shape nicely—about half a cup. .Form this mixture into cro- quettes, roll them in the uncooked cer- eal until thickly covered, and fry them in_very hot fat. Tomato and Cheese Waffle: Take two cups of warm cereal, one cup of cooked straincd tomato and one-half cup of grated cheesc. Blend thorough- ly. Add the stifly beaten white of one egg and pour into a buttered bak- ing dish. Bake until it is brown and puffy which will take about fifteen minutes. STARLIGHT No. 2. WHERE HE LEARNED TO GAMBLE Dear Social Corner Sisters: I think fary’s letter is very true. 1 will ou_why I never learned to play Once 1 was invited by a min- wife and other ladies to go with them through a jail and sce the inmates. One man we talked with told us_he attended. a church social and they insisted on his learning to pla: whist. He did and liked it so ver: miuch He went everywhere to play and he won several prizes. Then he began playing in- other ‘places for money; then. came. playing for drinks which in trouble and landed am All night, while the stars were watch- ng In the garden of the sky, He gathered and threw down lilies TNl the Baster dawn was nigh. And there, when the city wakened, On roof and alley and street, Grew lilies with white-winged petals, With a fragrance heaven sweet. All the day the little children, ‘With laughter and merry shout, Took into their homes the lilies; And still when the stars came out Lilies stood there with petals folded, h every home was filled, And the little ones dream of lilles ‘When their eager cries were stilled. And the stars who watched the city ¥Till its children were grown old, Baid their lives were like lilies’ petals 4nd their hearts were hearts of gold. —Mabel L. Eaton.
