The following are the quantities of materials which a famous chef recom- mends as sufficlent for 100 guests. Three and one-half pounas of cof- fee. Six gallons of cocoa made from three galions each of miix and water one pound of cocoa. sur pounds of loaf sugar. zallons of oysters.

Dear Sociai Corner Triends:—In these days of stress and sorrow e icarn to place a higher value on the W easant enperiences we still have. Onc of the greatest pleasures I have known for a long time was mine re- cently. I visited my birthplace in a neighboring state after many years of absence. It aften happens in such 2 case that the wanderer returns to find the old homestead half in ruins, or at best badly in need of repairs and everything around showing want of_care. Not so in my case. The old hcme, so dear to me, I found entirely re- modeled and presided over by the gracious wife of a college professor, the grounds beautiful and everything greatly improved. I gazed at a row of splendid pear trees with tears in my eyes. How well I remembered the day my father planted them there. There was scarcely a stone or tree or path that did not bring recollec- tions of happy hours now long past. This_little -visit on one of June's most perfect days will long be a bright spot in my memory. I have never yet attended one of your famous picnics, but hope I can be at Aunt Mary’s on July 12th. EVELINE BURR. THE CONSERVATION OF FOOD. Dear Social Corner Editor: Is there room for one more? I have long been an interested reader and have received much help from The Social Corner. Now I would like to con- tribute my mite, hoping it may ben- efit some one e’se. As we are told we must save the wheat and conserve the food supply, I have been experimenting a little with bread. I find I can use one part white bolted corn meal to five parts white flour in making white bread, and not one can tell the difference. In oatmeal and graham bread I al- so_use corn meal with good result. Oatmeal Bread—Scaid one pint] milk; add one pint hot water and one pint rolled cats, two tablespoons shortening, two teaspoons salt three- fourths cup molasses. When suffi- ciently cool add one compressed yeast cake dissolved in one-half cup water. Then add four pints sifted flour and one pint bolted corn meal, thoroughly mixed while dry. Let rise over night. This makes two large loaves. ‘Will tell you about my graham bread later. Hope to meet the Sisters at Aunt Mary’s picnic. ANN TEMMER. SURE REMEDY FOR WHOOPING COUGH. Dear Social Corner Sisters:—Now that whooping cough is among us again, no doubt some of you would like to know a very good and effective remedy which I am using at the pres- ent time for my children. Gather some good clean chestnut leaves and steep them until the liquid, when poured off, is very dark (most black). Then, to this iiquid add about two-thirds as much sugar and boil down to a syrup about as thick as molasses in hot weather. To a baby give about one-half teaspoon; to an oldcr child a teaspoon three or four times a day, or a little when seized with coughing. I hope some of the sisters may be benefited by this recipe, as it is also very good in any case of cough. The one thing I regret is, that I shall have to lose some of the pleas- ant times among you that we have enjoyed in the past. FOXY.

THINGS THEY ARE EATING IN > ENGLAND. ' Dear Social Corner Sisters:—This is the way our British cousins are in- dulging in these days: Toad in the Hole—Cold meat, 8 ounces flour, pint milk, haif teaspoon baking powder, sait. Put flour, bak- inz powder, and salt into basin; mix ezg and milk_together; then mix into the flour, making with the milk very fine batter. Grease pie dish; cut meat into small pieces, and put into dish; sprinkle over little chopped parsley, with pepper and salt. Pour in batter, put few pieces clarified fat on top, and bake for about one hour. Potted Lentils—One-half pound len- ti's, 1 ounce fat, chopped onion, mixed herbs, pepper and salt. Wash' lentils, cook slowly with onion and herbs un- til soft and all moisture is taken up. Season with salt and pepper, put in jars and cover with a little melted fat. An excellent substitute for meat, the paste makes good sandwiches. Thin Oatcakes—Three ounces med- ium oatmeal, 1 ounce fine oatioal, pinch salt, teaspoon melted fat, pinch bi-carbonate of soda, boiling water. Mix oatmeal, soda, and ealt. Add fat and hot water to make soft mix- ture. Sprinkle board with fine oat- meal. Turn out mixture and form in- to ball. Knead slighty, and with knuckles flatten paste until it forms a round about one-half inch thick. Rub in some fine oatmeal to whiten cakes. Roll out very thinly, and rub again with oatmeal. Cut info four or eight pieces. Bake on hit griddle un- til’ edges begin to curl. Toast in front of fire or in_moderate oven until cakes are crisp. Whe ncold store in tin. The curfous among you might try them. VICTORIA. SUBSTITUTES FOR BUTTER FAT. Dear Sisters: It Is almost universal- Iy conceded that vegetables _require addition of fat in order that they may be at their best, and there is no fat which is so suitable as butter for the majority of vegetables, judged by the texture of the dish, and also by the flavor. As a substitute for butter In season- ing vegetables there is nothing bet- ter than sweet, savory drippings. Not all meats supply fats that are savory in the sense in which the word is em- ploved here. The following fats may be emploved alone or in ~ombination for season- ing vegetables: The fat from fried sausage, ham, bacon, and pork, and from voast pork, veal, and chicken. Fats trimmed from poulitry, veal, pork, and ham may be fried out carefuily and saved for use in cooking vegeta- bles. Such fats have a flavor which comes from seasoning, as In sausage, from smoke, as in ham and bacon, or from brown material, as in roast meat. The fat skimmed from the water in which poultry has been boiled and the fats skimmed from the gravies of most meats may be clarified_and also em- ployed in the preparation of vegeta- bles for the table. Great care must be taken that all these fats are clean and sweet, and that the temperature at which they are fried at shall not be so high as to impair the flavor. Durned or scorch- ed fat is not only unpleasant In flavor, bhut is a frequent cause of Indigesti- tion. When rendering the trimmings of fat meat, add small onion or a shallot (do not cut them). A few leaves of summer savory, and thyme, a tea- spoon of salt, and a little pepper. This seasoning is enough for half a pint of fat. Keep the crippings covered, and in a cool, dry place. M. L. RECIPES FROM KATY DID Dear Social Corner Sisters:—Many thanks to Jennie for her kind wel- come. Thanks to Aunt for the mer- ingue recipe. I am like my pen name; green; did not know how to make one. Lemon Pie—Two cups hot water, and juice of one lemon, one cup sugar, three rounding tablespoons cora- starch, dissolved in a little water; four eggs (save two of the whites for the meringue) cook in a double boil- er two minutes and turn into a baked crust.

Mountain Laurel: I think your idea is good for the children to open the screen door. How much comfort we take with the little ones. I hawe three. Kind regards to all Social Corner friends. KATY DID ASPARAGUS ON TOAST. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Rinse well in cold water to remove all grit. Tle the stalks together loosely so they may be lifted out easily when cooked. Pour over the asparagus about a quart of boiling water, salted, and cook gently for about twenty minutes. Lay the stalks on a platter with the heads resting on well toasted slices of white bread; make a sauce of a tablespoon of butter, one of flour, 2 little salt and pepper and one-half cup of the water in which the as- paragus was cooked. Cook for a few minutes and pour over. This makes L nice dessert. Washer Woman: Any drug store is supposed to have stone lime in stock.

Well, T happened to meet Pop, and I says to him. “Pop, I have been won- dering what was the best thing you ever did " He looked at me suspiciously and says: “Maybe that might bring you to your senses and make you realize why you owe me a debt of gratitude. The best thing I ever did was to get mar- ried. ‘When I could not provide the butter, Jessie could. Hope isn't what her mother was!” “She knows she isn't,” says 1, for she says ‘all she owes you’ for is the few gray hairs she has and all the bitterness her life has known,’ and that seems to me to offset your claim of_gratitude.” She doesn’t seem to realize I might got drunk oftener and been a little meaner, does she Hez?

Woman's work is never done, Mrs. Curfew.” “That’s the truest word Shakes- peare ever wrote,” said Mrs. Curfew. “I am slaving away sixteen hours a day the year round and never seem to get caught up. I think women could bear their burdens better if the men- folk were a little more appreciative. Now, Mr. Curfew sympathizes with to the best of his ability, when I complain of being tired, but deep down in his heart he believes I have a snap. “One morning last winter he began arguing that women make their work much harder than it need be, because they lack efficiency. They waste their energies in false motions. e had been studying up scientific efficiency, he said, and he was confident that he could do my day's work in plenty of time to go to the ball game or attend a refined prize fight. This sort of talk made me indignant and 1 dared him to start in next day and do the housework in less time than I did it. nobody ever accused him of being a cheap sport. He won't take a dare from anybody, and so next morning he got up eariy and put on my apron and besan making a fire in the kitch- en stove.

RULES FOR BLANCHING CANNED FRUIT. Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: These are rules for blanching which have been a great help to me. Unless prepared by all vegetables and most fruits need be. blanched before being packed in jars. Peas beans and the like five to ten minutes. Corn on the cob. fifteen minutes. Pumpkins and squash, five minutes. Cabbage, okra and sweet potatoes, five minutes. Asparagus ten minutes. Greens ten minutes. Rhubarb, beet tops, and the like, ten minutes. Tomatoes, plums, peas, peaches and apricots, sca’d for ten minutes. To can tomatoes so they won't spoil select tomatoes that are ripe, but not overripe. There should not be a par- ticle of green on them. Wash and scald the jars, tops and rubbers; aft- er- scalding rubbers put them in cold water until needed. Wash tomatoes thoroughly, place in a cheesecloth bag and plunge into water for one-half to two minutes. Dip the scalded tomato at once into cold water. Remove the skin. FA Wee jar carefully with whole tomatoes until the fruit comes to within a half of inch of the top of the jar. Press tomatoes close togeth- er as you can with a spoon; cover the closely packed tomatoes with juice “not water,” until the jar is filled to within _one-quarter inch of the top. To each pint can of tomatoes add one- half teaspoon salt and one-half tea- spoon sugar. Place rubbers and tops on jars, adjust the wire clamp, but do not snap it. Nearly cover the jars with water by pacing them in vour boiler, having put water in your boiler and boil fifteen minutes: seal jars by fastening down the clamp: boil the sealed jars in the canner about 20 minutes; re- move them from boiler, unseal them and cover over with cloth or paper and keep from the draught. Test the jars after several days by loosening the clamp and picking up the jar, by the edge of the glass cover. If the seal is perfect the cover will not come off. In that case snap the c'amp back into place. If the cover comes off supply addi- tional juice and repeat whole opera- tion. 1 use the open kettle method. DRESSMAKER. HOUSEHOLD HELPS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are a few helps which may be of use to someone: An excelient way to keep the chim- ney free from scot is to sprinkle an nccasional teaspoon of saltpeter over the fire. To keep eveglasses from steaming in cold weather, rub with vaseline and polish with a silk handkerchief. Hot alum water is a good insect de- strover. Put the alum into hot wa- ter and let it boil until it is all dis- solved, then apply the solution hot with a brush to all cracks, closets, bedsteads and other places where in- sects are found.

Paint stains, no matter how hard and_dry, can be taken out of woolen clothing’ with equal parts of turpen- tine and ammonia. Rice may be substituted for maca- roni as a dinner dish. Prepare it with srated cheese and bake it in the oven. To pick up little pieces of broken slass, wet a woolen cloth, lay it on the floor where the fragments are and pat it. The little particles will ad- here to the damp cloth. Best wishes to all ADELLE. A WORD FROM AMELIA.

THE CARE OF CHILDREN Social Corner Sisters: I hope every- one who has the care of a child will read what “The Man Who Talks” had to say in his Talks in Saturday, Junc 234, about active children. He told an ' jmportant truth when he said: “Many persons think a child is mak- ing trouble when they themselves are the makers of the trouble. Those who find an interesting way for their chil- dren to use their energy are helping them to be good. The chlld who is taught to expend its energy in play does not devote it to naughtiness.” Very true and | wish every mother in the land realized it. AUNT MARTY. the open kettle method, | AUNT SARAH AND REMEMBER ME’S PICNIC. Dear Cornerites:—This is a lovely morning and I am just going to write to say that “Aunt Sarah” and “Re- member Me” are going to have their annual picnic at the home of Remem- ber Me, July 19th, unless it is stormy, is so, the next fair day. I see Aunt Mary has her’s the week before. 1 hope you won't think they are so close together that you can't go to both. Do try to. If we put ours off untii a later date it will not be on our birthdays, so piease bring sandwiches and cake, as usual; also plate, cup and fork and pencil. We are only a short walk from the trolley. Take car leaving Norwich 945 a. m. or 10.45 and Willimantic 10.25 a. m. or 11.. get off at Pleas- ure Hill crossing, and there wili be some one there to meet those not able to walk. Now come, Sisters and ‘Social Corner Sisters:—A few say their children are quiet and contented to study their Sunday les- sons and read their Sunday school papers all day without any special ef- fort being made to entertain them. Others described their plans which necessitated the attention of the mother during the whole day. 1 believe every one who can, except the smallest chidren, should go to church at least once on Surday. It is pretty much a matter of habit. If you expect to go every Sunday you plan that way and go, when you think 1 will if—you are going to siay home one-half to two-thirds of the time. Church organizations nor min- isters are not perfect, but so long as the church stands for the best in the world, as we know it, the only square thing 'is to support it both financially and by attendance. I believe children should be brought up to attend church even if much ef- fort must be made to accomplish it I have sma’l patience with the people who stay away because they can't sub- scribe to quite all of their church's creed. or because the ministers’ ser- mon is dry, or the choir squawiky. They belong to political parties without _accepting every tenet In their particular party. Ome thing is sire, if every one must be suited, there would have to be individual po- litical parties and churches. Many non-church goers have for their ex- cuse that they are as good or better than those in the church. Maybe so. But only God knows what saints they might become if their spiritual life were given some outside direction or expression; nor how bad many in the church might be if they were not propped up ag: and again by the churchis influence. tI is weil to remember the Lord Jesus himself stated that He came to he'p the sinners as He didn't seem to ex- pect perfection or to zet it even among His own disciples. one He had shown every favor to lied three times, denving Him the last night, once with oaths. It is rather presumptuous fo® us to expect perfection As we grow older we usually are slower to judge. 1 always think of the saying:” To know all is to forgive all.” Much of the children's attitude to- ward going to church deperds on that of their parents. Hold chureh going up as a priviledge not something to be dreaded and they will regard it as such. PAULA. THE TREATMENT OF GOLDFISH. 1 have learned from the caretaker of on aquarium in New York that the proper food for goldfish is rice (not boiled too soft) and when fed to the fish a few grains at a time there is no fear of injuring the purity of the water. Next to rice is flour (not prepared flour) and milk worked iAto a tough dough. A few pellets at a time should be dropped in the water, never faster than the fish can take them. The preparation sold under the name of “goldfish food” is composed of the whites of eggs and the whitest wheat flour made in a dough, which is run Brothers of The Corner, you are all cordially invited.

I have been feeding my goldfish on this, as I was ignorant about the rice. He said the disease most common to the fish is “fungus’”” which nes is scratched, o then the fungus will attack the wound- ed part: it can really be known by its white and fluffy appearance. The best remedy for fungue is to pass the dis- eased fish as rapidly as possible—but once only—through a strong solution of salt and water. Sand should always be kept in the bottom of globe or tank, and should be washed. Fish eat sand, the same as chickens eat gravel, for the purpose of assisting in grinding up their food All fish are covered with a thin coat- ing of slime which at times becomes too abundant, and to get rid of it they stick and rub their bodles against any rough surface, such as sand or small rocks. Goldfish ehould have at least two hours of sunlight in the morning: then remove them to a different part of the house if the sun is too strong. Change the water once a week and it is better to keep several fish together as they get lonesome if only one is In a globe at a time.

The prices, however, may be affixed according to the ones prevalent or ac- cording to one's decision: 1. Tempting home-made doughnuts or cakes and cookies sell to neighbors or friends for 20 cents a dozen. At food sales where individuals compete they sell quickly and in quantities. 2. Clear, nice looking jell‘es sell for 10_and 15 cents, according to size. 3. Popcorn brings good profits and one can get a five or ten pound box of candy at wholesale and retail it at 40 or 50 cents on a dollar. This is espe- cially wise for entertainment sales or booth work, as it takes littie time to prepare. 4.
