Bdgar A. Guest, from his new book B irae. “Sust Foike published by the Reilly & Brittan Co. Chicago. The stick-together families are hap- pler by far Than the brothers and the sisters who highways are. e A circle at the fireside that no power but death can break. And the finest of conventions held beneath the sun. Are the little family gatherings when the busy day is done. There are rich folk, there are poor folk, who imagine they are wise, And they're very quick to shatter all the Mttle family ties. searching after pleasure in Each with strangers likes to wander, ever own selected way, and with likes to play. But it's bitterness they harvest, and it's empty joy they find, the stick-together kind. There are some who seem to fancy that for gladness they must roam, That for smiles that are The brightest they must wander far from home. That| the strange friend is the true friend, and they travel far astray And they waste their lives in striv- ing for a joy that's far away, But the gladdest sort of people, when the busy day is done, Are the brothers and the sisters who together share their fun. That hears the sweetest music and that finds the finest mirt! It's the oid home roof that shelters all the charm that life can give; There you find the gladdest play- ground, there the happlest spot to live. Amd, O weary, wandering brother, if contentment you wounld win, Come you back unto the fireside and be comrade with your kin. Sént in by Hattie.

DOM PEDRO’S INTERESTING RIDE Dear Social Corner Friends:—I am going to tell you about an auto ride, which I took recently. We started from New London in'a seven-passen- ger car, (which was full), crossed the ferry, and as I had never been up on the Other side of the river, it was all the more interesting to me. Especi- ally the submarine base, and the work which is in progress there. Some of the boats were partially submerged. New buildings were being built, and cverything was being rushed right along. There were several marines at work by the side of the road with pick and shovels, and they seemed to be having a-good time. They all doffed their white caps to us as we passed. I was informed there was to be 375,000 invested there in the near future. Then we came back down to Gro- ton, and on down to the Plant estate. Of ‘course the public is not allowed to enter through the gates any more, as they could at first. I was there sev- eral years ago. The grounds around the mansion were the finest. 1 ever saw. Well, we rode around, on several strects, visited the chicken farm, and there were several nundred thore white fowls, White Leghorns and Ply- wouth Rocks. Then we went to see the duck pond. That is great; and ccst several thousand dollars. There is an jsland in the venter and quite large trees were growing in the mid- die of it. It did mot seem possible it may be placed on the same work, could be all artificial, but it makes one realize what money will do. There were white swans, black ones, geese all swimming around together in a friendly way. Then we came up to the Ship and shipyard. They are building a very large building, and men were hustling cverywhere as though they were attached to a live wire. There are 660 men employea there and there are as many more needed; but they say they can’t get them. Then me came up to the Ship and Engine Company’s plant. They fur- nish empioyment to 900 men. Their office building is a fine structure. The grounds are beautiful and show great care, and taste, some of the flowers were still in bloom. The place is like a city by itself. Buildings going up in the shipyard. The water front full of boat houses being built for their em- ployes, and men rushing here and there, like the moving pictures. Then we continued our ride to the ferry, and as we drove onto the boat, the purser called out, “All Aboard for France,” and we were bound for “Lon- don” which ended a fine and interest- ing ride.

DOM PEDRO. BREAD MAKING Dear Social Corner Sisters: Bread holds an important place in the diet of every normal person and home made bread is infinitely more palat- gble and more nutritious than bakers' rea: The three essentials in bread-mak- ing are flour, yeast and liquid. The yeast plant grows best in a temper- ature of 86 degrees faremheit. Bread should therefore be set to rise in a warm place, free from drafts. On the other hand too great heat must be avolded, as it will kill the yeast plant and make the bread sour. Two risings are sufficient if the ingredi- ents have been well mixed. Dough permitted to rise until too gfl‘:dmbetb' fall of holes; bread rore it sufficiently ligh will be heavy. i The use of the patent bread-mixers is to be recommended, because they save labor and make cleaner and bet- ter bread. p yard for the hat.

This special hold- er is no more than a huge embroidery ring, of the sort that is used for the handles and tops of knitting bags. At- tagh a ribbon or tape to the ring at each end, and by means of this ribbon hang it on a hook. Then pull the sweater through the ring. Several out any trouble. T The ring, to be best fitted for its should be cup of the water (cold) with the corn meal and when the remaining water boils stir in the meal which has been mixed with the water, sugar and salt. Cook over hot water 45 min- utes. Drop by tablespoons into hot fat and fry until brown. About two dozen servings. R B Baked Indian Pudding—Milk, 1 quart; corn meal, 1-3 cup; molasses, cup; ginger, 1 teaspoon; salt, 1 teaspoon. Scald the milk, and pour over meal, and cook 20 minutes in a double boller. Add salt, ginger and molasses. Pour into a buttered bak- ing dish, and cook in a moderate oven until firm about 3 hours. Graham Gems—One cup of graham The pretty little town or Hillsbury, with its nmeat and ,modern public buildings, ite hewly laid out park, and even the two canning factories, with their attractive grounds, were pleasing to the eye, and worthy of the pride of }the whole community. But there was oné blur that epoiled the harmony of the whole. This blemish was the old church, an eyesore to those who felt that the House of God should equal the other buildings. This edifice was very old, and because of the indifference of those in authority had not been pre- served. The ladies kept the lawn about the building trim and tastetul for here and there were ornamental receptacles filled with flowers. The citizens were aware that a new church was needed. The earnest Christians in this community were persons of moderate means, but gave toward this object more tr they could well afford; and the young peo- ple increased the building fund with proceeds from entertainments. Ser- vices were suspended after the weather became cool, for the roof and walk could not be repaired. A committee of seven ladles were appointed to canvass the town for subscriptions. Like all towns, there were characteristic and exclusive indi- viduals, especially Mr. Knowles and Mr. Howe, who were never willing to give towards or aid any object that dia not give some recompense in re- turn. Mrs. Lovell, a lady of sterling qual- fties and magnetic influence, was se- lected to call upon these rich, eccen- tric and peculiar gentlemen. She selected a pleasant day and looked her prettiest and made her first call on Mr. Knowles. After stating her errand, he cleared his throat. “What! A new church!” cried he. “Why won’t the old one do? I guess what was good enough for our parents ought to be good enough for us!” “But,” replied the good lady, “you do not want to endanger one's health?” “Of course not: repair it.” She quietly responded: “You know that it is now beyond repairing. You contributed towards the town hall.” “Yes; but that brings money into the_totsfv's treasury.” “You also recognized the need of a new schoolhouse and library, too.” “I @idn’t either; 1 don’t approve of the library: but schools make better men and women of our boys and girls.” “But” said she, “our boys and girls, also older persons, have souls to save! It they become Christians will they not make better citizens?” “U—m! Christian! Show me a real one. Show me one who will help those who strusgle to make ends meet. Most people like myself help ,only those who will pay interest or will # time return the favor or principal. Who," continued he, “opens their houses to those who cannot often return to their homes, and are oftentimes lonely and homesick. Not many, because the hostesses would not be benefited by such invitations.” Mrs. Lovell looked the speaker di- rectly in the eve. remarking: “I think that you are mistaken, for my mother always set an extra plate on the table Thanksgiving day, and at_the close of the morning service invitéd some per- son whom she knew could not go honfe to take dinner with her, and I follow her_example.” “Well, well! know,” said he. “What would prove to you that the church’s influence is for good and ex- tends to strangers and non-members?”. He thought a moment, then smilingly said: “This idea comes to me. You dress your plainest and go to Hamil- ton, 70 miles from here, several days before Thanksgiving, so that you can attend church the Sunday before, and then again on Thanksgiving day:- and if anyone invites you to go home with them I will respect that Christian act by presenting you with ten thousand dollars.” Mrs. Lovell answered: “Are you not requiring a good deal from me, to wish me to absent myself from my family on that day? I am willing to ask anyone vou wish to dine with me.” “Ah!" You, vourself are not very willing to give for the cause. You are to do as I say or I will not give ‘you a cent” She calmly said: “Good morning,” and as he responded the same he chuckled to himself: “That air propo- sition will keep the money where it Mrs. Lovell proceeded to call upon Mr. Howe. That gentleman looked at I bet it is someone you MRS. SPICER’S THANKSGIVING SPIRIT her as she delivered her errand, then said: “Have you asked Ezra Knowles? ©Oh, -yes!” “Ah! " Didn’t give, did he? Mean old skinflint—wouldn’t give a cent, of course.” “If his proposition is dccepted,” shie said, “the building fund will be great. ly increased.” 9 “He made 2 proposition, did he? B: shucks! 1 can make one, tco. Tell him that I will give as much as he.” “Ten thousand doilars,” she quietly remarked. “What! Ten thousand!” he excited- ly exclaimed. *I— well, he won't give it, so my offér holds good.” After conferring with her husband, who laughed heartily as his wife re- lated the conversation between the two men and herself, then said: = “Mr. Knowles . is lesting our sincerity as well as the old-time custom of doing a good deed on Thanksgiving day for the year's blessings. Let's do it, for we have much to be thankful for, and if we do not accept these strange of- fers it will be a long time before the church ban be built.” Mrs. Lovell arrived in Hamilton and obtained board at the hotel. She had misgivings regarding the invitation be- ing given, but she silently prayed that someone would ask her home. In a family of reduced circumstances, the roomss were fragrant with Thank: siving ccents, Mother Spicer had for weeks economized, sacrificed and plan- ned to make this day one to be re- membered. The pantry contained a chicken for a fricasee, doughnuts, cake, pies, a plump chicken for dinner, with vegetables and apple sauce, a different dinner than thcse of preced- ing years. Although trouble had caused scarcity of money, she did not turn from the old custom of having as £00d a dinner as possible, and intend- ed to give the customary invitation to| some lonely stranger to dine with her. Her oldest daughter said: “It is a fine dinner, ma, and we un- derstand; but what will a stranger think not to have turkey, pudding, cranberry sauce and fruit? “Why,” replied her mother, should be very thankful for the heip and blessings received, because of our troubles, and this dinner, although it is not a'turkey dinner, must be shared as usual, and I think that any peraon away from their family and friends will be grateful for our thought of them. Thanksgiving day dawned bright and clear. Dinner was prepared and left to cook itself, while the family wend- ed their way to church. As nobody but the minister spoken to Mrs. Lovell, her faith w: ed, and as the thought came to her that she would not receive any invita- tion, a wave of homesickness. overcame her and as the tears chased each other down her cheéks she met Mrs. Spicer's e had slace, At the close of the service she wis surprised to observe the lady hastening to her, and more so to have Mrs. Spicer smilingly invite her to accompany her home for the day. The invitation was heartfly accept- ed and it is needless to state that the family and guest passed a' happy Thanksgiving. On returning to the hotel Mrs, Lov- el telephoned to Mr. Knowles that she had just returned from dining with Mrs. ‘Spicer at 61 Mt. Vernon_ street and would be at home on the follow- ing day. and would be pieased to re- ceive his check for the church. She found it awaiting her on her arrival with these few lines: “You have won. I really belidved | the good old cusiom was extinct of | returning thanks for the year's bless- ings.” The good lady notified Mr. Hewe at once that Mr. Niwies had sent her his check and wouid be pleased to have him do the same as soon as conven- fent. The check was received ing_with these lines: “You have outwitted us, for we would never have given such a sum if we had expected it would ever be called for. I think you should reserve free pews for us in the new church The committee in charge and the whole . community were surprised and never understood how those two men were ever induced to give at oll, and of all things to give so fenerously. Mrs. Lovell, always smiled in reply to_their questions and said: “Let's be thankful that at last we in the even- are to have a new church” and to| herself she added: nd_ for. Mrs. Spicer's Thanksgiving spirit.” DIANA. N. H. ture will be quite stiff.

GRACE'S PICNIC. Dear Social Corner _Sisters:—This is my first letter to The Corner, but I desired to write of my pleasant time at Grace’s home November Tth. Weé had no trouble in finding the place with the yellow streamers flying from poles, ‘trees and bars, along the road- {good crust of bread, just because E HAS BEEN DOING HER BIT. . Dear SGclal Corner Sisters:—Pers haps you have been passing the sea- son In mafly cifferent ways, so 1 am going to tell vou how I passed mine. In the spring when the ground was to be made ready for the corn, I led the horse a great deal, so the furrows would: be stfaight. Then led horse some in furrowing out for a larse gar- den, : When the stuff began to gro: the horse again to Go the culti Never working more than two hours at a time, as my steam sort of gave out, or my feet aid. This was quite new labor for me. Then_one time I hoed five rows of corn. The muscles of my upper arm tightened and felt lame, so gaver up for that day. Within a day or so 1 was at it again, but did only two rows, and did not mind it at all I also did the routine of some of the farm housewives that have no hired help. All summer to bed by nine o'elock at latest, and up at 4.30 in the naora- ing. One city man eaid he would like to work on a farm, but would want $3.50 per day A bum_appears sometimes, but after about a half day's work he decides he can't stand it, or quits for some other simple reason. This is why we have no hired man The farmers cam't farm on a large scale around here because they can't get help. In haying time I pitched some hay and sometimee built load. Two dif- ferent times I helped to mow away the hay. That was a hot job. After 1 had a chance to set a look at myself in a mirror I nearly decided I was colored. 1 did not have a dry thread in my clothes and they clung to fae just as they would if I had been in bathing. I will admit I should far rather have been sitting in the shade. People can o a lot when they have to. Other women in this place work on this scale, too. 0 you seé I am not the only one who helps out of doors. Well, I husked a few _bushels of corn and helped to gather in the r¥r- den stuff before the frost came, Some tomatoes and mushmelons were' spoil- ed by the frost after all. I have a half barrel of cucumber pickles put in the cellar, aso different vegetables. Some one said can you calmly said I draw the line. Next year I shall wear bloomers. DEARIE. milk? I « FOR GREATER ECONOMY. Dear Sisters of the Socfal Corner:— We are hearing much these days concerning the saving of food; and as we see the figure of Liberty with her outstanding arms, pleading for us to do our bit, to win the war, it appeals to_me. There have been enormous wastes heretofore in this country. There are many people who always say they “can’t save anything” and it is sor- rowfully _true. Now, I claim, It one ‘person cannot, especially conditions. The _trouble “can’t” people, don't try! never known to accomplish anything. Habit is a great factor in all line: it means much for economy, and pro fitable results. It may much for poverty, and the party won- is get ahead, as their neighbor. We are told from the great Book of Life, that the poor shall always be with us, which I understand to mean, peéple will always have that lack of economy with no desire for self-inde- pendence. I belleve it decidedly wrong to throw away: for waste, a i is dry, for it can be used in many ways, and eaten with other foods. Small remnants of potatoes, turnips, carrots, cabbage, can be utilized agaif and help towards anotker meal. cool weather, as it is now. thought for careful every hand for saving. observation, and economy, by that, neveg rob Peter to pay Paul. nor step infc the “stingy” mire. Do _instice +~ annselves family, and there will be a surplus to help some one else. - If we erase the “can't” from our aaily routine, and substitute “try and will”” success will prove its answer. | Best wishes.
