It didn’t have to be carved and it was as boneless as a boiled turnip. Some folks may think it was not much of a Thanksgiving dinner, but any one who gets a Cape Cod turkey is far They sin who tell us Love can die! With life all ocher passions fiy; All others are but vanity. In Heaven ambition cannot dwell, No avarice in the vaults of hell; Parthly these passions, as of earth, They perish where they have their birth: But Love is indestructible. Its holy flame forever burneth, From Heaven it came, to Heaven Te- turneth: For oft on earth a troubled guest, At times deceived, at times oppressed, It here is tried and purified. And hath in Heaten its perfect rést. It soweth here with toil and care. But the harvest-time of Love is there. ©Oh! when a mother meets on high The baBe she lost in infancy, from being left. Mr Haskins didn’t think it was so joke when I thanked him for Thanksgiving dinner. HEZ HARMONDY. CREAM COOKIES.

To farn well takes time.” How often we hear that sld proverb repeated and yet some do not hear It enongh for if they did they would tako more notice of its meaning. When the holes in hoisery _have reached the point where repairing a single pair will take one's attention for a full hour, is it not time thrown awav to spend’ that hdur in trying to prolong, for two or three more wear- ings, the life of 'the worn articles?

Some Who will lend me Pictorial Review, October, 1917, November, 19177 The THE TEST Maria Tinker lived alone and scof- fed at her neighbors’ suggestion of a companion. She had lived alone for iwenty-seven years and no one had ever bothered the poor old spinster, so she declared she was as “safe as the grave.” As the last one faded away from her household, the neighbors in turn conjibed and declared she ought not to be left alone in the large house on the hill, where her light always sihone, on the blackest night, and with nary a curtain pulled down. “Stuff and nonsense,” deciared Maria in sclf defense, “no one will ever dare so much as peep at me, and even if they should try to carry me off, I'd have the satisfaction of leavin' this town for a spell and not have to hire a buzzy, or defray expenses.” And 50 she resided, or rathcr exist- ed until one cold night when she was washing up her supper dishes, in front of the sink-room window, she glanced out into the darkness and beheld a man’s face looking straight at her. For an instant, she held her breath. Who wouldn’t? And he kept right on gaz- ing, sneering and covetous, and she zlared back at him, and then she act- ually beckoned to him, and not only that, but she opened thé back door and asked him to come in. He was taken back, to say the least, but he entered the spic-span kitchen and sat on the edge of a chair while she went on to entertain him in a most curious fash- ion. Is there anyone with you? €d almost in a whisper. “Er, no,” he answered, as though hc almost wished there had been. “Well,” she went on, “I didn’t know u'd come alone, but I ’'spose it's all ght. You ought to have been here ten minutes ago,” as she glanced at the clock, “and I'll pull down the cur- tains so you won’t be detected at all. The invader was puzzled. “Of course, you didn’t give me the signal I expected, but I recognized at once that you were the onc who was to come tonight. You were sent by Otto Hurst, wasn't you? You're on a special mission to m: The man was dumbfounded, but was uncertain just how to act so he al- lowed her to ramble on, without inter- rupting her, except to nod as though he_understood. “Well, you see,” she went on, “I am supposed to give you the particulars, and then you are to come again and report to me just how things stand. You know it doesn’t do to write now: adays. I've joined the club of twenty- four women and they are doing every- thing possible for the cause.

You will find a car waiting to take the upplies, and you are to go eight miles north of here, by following the road | that turns by the waterinz trough, at | the center, then turn and continue for | two and a half miles and you will come to an old house with all the win- dows out. I have put a sign up that it is for sale, so you will be sure to #0 to the right one. Now, you are to go_there right from here. “A man will be standing near the watering trough and will go with you | ther directions. The car is in the shed behind the house, but you are to stay there until early in the morning be- fore you leave as I have got to send some more supplies that are to be brought to me at half-past seven to- night. They always bring them by that time as I zo to bed early. “I have two hired men that go to bed by quarter to cight as we get up at three every morning.

'Guess I'd better be zoin’ so they won't get wise to me, and I don’t want to get you in Dutch neither.” He was at the door before she had time to answer him. “Well, all right then, we do have to be so careful, but be sure and do just as I told you.” And he went quicker than he came. “Batty as a loon,” he muttered as he ampled off down the hill, watching out for the two hired men that he ex- pected would loom up before him ere he _could get out of the house. Maria locked the door securely, bolt od it and gave a great sigh. Then she looked into the mirror. aria Tin- ker, how did you ever do it?’ He must have been a burglar and he look- ed as though he wanted everything in the house except me.” The next day she contributed to the | local paper the followinz: WANTED: A HUSKY STRONG FI MALE COMPANION.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: It is supposed that old folks have short memories, but a few have this week recalled the Thanksgiving of half a century or more ago, when life was so different. I have in mind a New England coast city home which had then endured the fury of the wind and the ocean for 150 years. and been sprinkled with the salt spray of the sea a hundred times when Bereas and Neptune were in furious conflict. It was. anchored by a brick pier 12 feet square in the cellar, upon which stood a great chim- ney representing tons of mortar and brick; and a person of average height could’ put his hand flat upon the ceil- ing, and every room was the full width of the house, and the fire still glowéd in the fireplace, and the tranes were there for cooking, and crook-necked squashes used to hang over the mantel like ornaments until they were used “ihe kitchen served as a dining room and therein the family feasted every day; and the grandsire was called “Sir" by all, and he joined the chil- dren in calling the granddame “Mother.” The head of the house dld not pray in awed voice to “Almighty God who art in Heaven,” but talked with his “ever present Heavenly Fa- ther whose bountiful gifts assured them of health, strength and happi- nass, keeping their hearts ever thank- ful and their feet in His illumined ath.” P There were no servants, no display of fine ware upon the table. The dishes were blue and white, or brown and white. the squash ple was baked in long tin pans and was cut in_big squares; and the pickle &ish. which was as large as a soupbowl. was filled with mangoes, stuffed peppers and pickles of every sort. The turkey with the accompanyifig dishes came on un- decorated. The family lived the simple life and was always bcuntifully supplied: and on these festal occasions the old house rang with the shouts of the grand- children. . - As we look back to the place where these companies assembled and realize at present the old house knows nonc of the family who occupied it for near- ly two centuries, we feel that some- thing has gone cut of life which can- not be restored: but of it we hold a precious memory. POLLY PAUL. FOOD TO FIT THE TIMES. Dear Social Corner - Sisters: These are suggestions for -meeting present food conservation requirements: New England Fish ‘Hash: Soak half an hour enough salt cod, to make two cups and boil five minutes. Mix one cup -of mashed potatoes, half'a cup of chopped bests, a piece: of -butter, and milk enough to_moisten. -Fry brown on both sides. Send to_the- table with molted butter to which has been added a teaspoon of finely chopped beets. An Economical Sunday Night Sup- per: It consisted of tuna fish salad and apple jelly, of ‘coarse bread and butter and tea. We had a nice white kead of celery for dinner. The leaves with the fish and home-made cream dressing made as nice a salad as could be desired. The jelly was madé tumbler at a time when 1 was making pies or sauce, but made, of course, be- fore the sugar shortage. Apple Tapioca: Pick over and wash three-quarters of a cuy’ of pearl taplo- ca; pour one quart boiling, water over it; cook in a' double boiler until trans- parent; stir often and one-half teaspoon of salt: core and pare seven apples; put them in a round baking dish and fill the cores with sugar and lemon juice; pour the tapioca over them and bake till apples are very soft. Serve hot or cold, with sugar ard cream. A deliciops variation bay be made by using half, or can- ned quinces and half app] What do the sisters have for dessert isins, ahd I shall_ r'unh plenty of mixed apples are tender. and sugar. Carrot Mincemeat—I wanted to make | some mincemeat and could not get any | £Teen tomatoes as substitute for meat, | 50 I used carrots instead and found : them far superior to anything I have ever tried. Here is my recipe: Steam two pounds of carrots, then chop fine. Add two quarts of apples, chopped in medium sized pieces, one pound of seeded raisins, one pound of seedless raisins. These tale tre place of currants. Add one-half pound ofcitron, one pound of brown sugar, onme cup molasses, two lemons, gratefl Tind, also juice. Use cider to three levei teaspoons of all kinds of spice except ginger. Add two teaspoons of ginger. . Put susar, molasses and spice | together, mix well with carrots and let stand three days before using. This is excellent. We like it better than mincemeat made with meat. Codfish Loaf: Equal quantities of fish and potatoes prepared as for cakes. Season and form into a loaf, put Into-a well-greased pan, sprinkle with bread crumbs, pour a little melit- ©d butter or sait pork drippings over top, bake moderately until a nice brown. Slip onto a platter and pour over a tomato sauce. I use tomato soup and it is delicious. Do not thing it, of course. A cream sauce may be used. - This tastes much like codfish cakes and is more digestable. I am not an advocate of fried foods in any form. Serve with m MERRY MAY. WRINKLES' THANKSGIVING DEC- ORATIONS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I want to thank all the Sisters of The Corner for the lavely cluster of chrys- anthemums I received from them. To say I was delighted does not begin to express what they meant to me, and now I have them for my Thanksgiving decorations, as they are fine yet. Now isn’t this great? And then the postcards from Aunty No. 1 and Huldah and others. It is not very pleasant to be laid aside from cur- usual avocations and enjovments, but we are it is certainly a great help and satisfaction to receive such tokcts of remembrence and realize that al- though absent we are not_forgotten. I am glad to say that I am on the gain and certainly hope I shall have ihe . pleasure of being at the next meeting. I think with others that the Social Corner is all right as it is, with all the calls on our time and strength, as well as our pocketbook. It seems to me it is well to have one place where we can forget work and just have a good time like children let out of school! So let.us come together and be_as jolly as’possible. I send a sentiment which may not be very zood poetry but which I think all the Sisters will_subscribe to: The summer is over and past— The wintry winds are due; But, oh! long may they stay in thelr native home And pipe to the Eskimo. WRINKLE. A CORRECTION. Dear Social Corner Sisters: If any of you read over the cake recipe I sent last week you will surely think I am trying to conserve food. “Am very sor- ry that I left out one-half cup of short- ening. I use crisco; think it as good as butter, if a little salt is added to it betore cooking. * Let us all count our blessings one by one which we have received the pastj Vear and we shall realize more fully how much we have had to be thank- ful for, even though in many homes there are empty chairs and sad hearts, we can praise God that thus far our homes and all that we loved have nct been taken from us, as has been the te the house and he will give yvou fur-{ | dumplings ot wheat flour, two cups sraham flour, one-haif cup sugar (scant). one table- n melted butter, one and one-half sour milk, sait, one teaspoon dissolved in the milk, raisins one- alf cup. You can leave out the raisins and it is just as good. Dest wishes and success. HELIOTROPE. AN ORIGINAL DINNER.
