Forget it, my dear boy, forget it; That's the very best thing you can do: It will do you no good to remember The mean things that are said about you. This life is too short to get even For every mean act that you know; So forget it, my boy, forget it, Forget it, and just let it go. Torget it, my dear boy, forget it; For you see every knock is a lie; Be decent and never repeat it; Just forget it, and let it pass by. You may think that the story is funny, Baut to tell it you've nothing to gain; So if it's a knock, just forget it, And never repeat it again. S Forget it, my dear boy, forget it, For knocking’s a very poor game; It never made one feilow happy, But causes much sorrow and pain. When you chance to hear some fellow knocking, If he's knocking a friend or a foe, 1 want to impress this upon you, Forget it, and just let it go. Some say that a knock is a boost, boy, Forget it, for that is not so, A boost is a boost, and a knock is a knock, It's the same thing wherever you go. So when you hear somebody knocking Let them know that their knock is in vain, R For as soon as you hear it, forget it, And never repeat it again. Many good men have been ruined, And many good, pure women. too, By some knocker starting a rumor, And not a word of it true. * So if you hear some fellow knocking A man’s or woman's*good name, Just bet It's a lie, and forget it, And never repeat it again. o —George W. Hibbard, in the Seattle Argus. ONCE IN A WHILE. It is easy enough to be pleasant ‘When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while is the one who will smile Wheén everything goes wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes - with years, And the smile that is worth the praises of earth i Is the smile that shines tears. the through It is easy enough to be prudent When nothing tempts you to stray, ‘When without or within no voice of sin Is luring your soul away. But it's only a negative virtue Until it is tried by fire, And the life ‘that is worth the honor of earth Is the one that resists desire. By the cynmic, the sad, the fallen, ‘Who had no strength for the strife, The world’s highway is cumbered to- day— They make up the item of life. |hens gat: hure:: Award Rice Sweets aVery rich’des- sert.

Dedr Social Corner Sisters: In our Gorner page Farmer's ‘Daughter was asking for eome crochet lace patterns. I hope these patterns will be of use to some of you. They are my own -original ones and I use thiem on c lars, cuffs and handkerchiéig. »I" cnet these edgings right inta. the ma terial after drawing a threxd.. It-isn’t necessary to draw a thread, but one can keep straighter by -it, and miake- the crocheting about the same: depth into the material all the way: ' - For the first row, I go all around the material with ~single crochet: sccond row, double crochet in every single crochet. making a close bor- der; third row, I crochet five single crochet between every thirds and fourth doublé crochet, giving a fan- like effect for the edge. 1 make a very pretty’scalloped col- lar by using the abové pattern and making first, row pale pink; second row in white, :3‘ third in pale pink. I bought a yard of good quality o- gandy for 30 cents. I can make about six collars with it—depending upon the size of the collar. I also bought a ball of Royal Society cotton (white). No. 70. for 15 cents. You can pur- chase two balls of the same colér for 25 cents. Then I bought a crochet hook, No. 7, for 10 cents, but_ think No: 6 1-2 would have been-better after trying it, and also a ball of pink and one of biue cotton. - 1 made another-ecalloped collar, a little larger, resémbling a shawl col- iar. Around -the edge of this one I made 10 single crochet into the ma. terial, then a picot, and another, 10 single crochet, and so’ on all arotind thie collar. I.chain five and join'thé fifth chain into-the first oneé, forming a tiny circle—this makes the picot.’ I also made+a sallor “collar with three tiny tucks near.the bottom. My first_row around this collar was single crochet; second row, double crochet .in every other single ‘third row, two cingle crochet in each of four:meshes of the double crochet. theh a picot just above, and so on. - The double crpchet forms little squares. This is called the mesh and is similar to beading through which we thread ribbon. A very pretty edging can be made by making firet row white: second. pale pink. and third -a little -deeper shade of pink, or with whatever colors: yau prefer. Red, white and blue would make a. pretty handkerchief .edging. You. can make medallions. to sew irto the collar as follows: Chain from five to seven stitches according to’the size of the collar you prefer and join the last stitch into first to form circle. Then make single crochet. around. this circle, covering the chain stitches, and work around with double ‘crochet until you have_the, medallion the size you require. When you gew the medaiifdn cn the collar do not cut a_circle of organdy from the collar ‘until after you have sewn it on. then cut circle and overcast the raw edee neat'y. I hope vou will be,abla to. unier- stand these patterns. I have fin- ished my three collars with the .ex- ception of putting on neck bands.

Dear Sisters of the:Soclal Corner: We are accustomed to look upon a,pin as valueless and the saying “Not worth a pi is common among us; but this expression would not have suited our great-grandmothers.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: In the gospel, according to Matthew, twenty-first chapter, last part of twenty-first_verse, it says: “If ye shall say unto the mountains be thou re- moved and be thou cast into the sea it shall be done.” And this is one of the best kpown parts of “the Bible. The - general Impression is that the ook is figurative in this place, but is it Mahy infidels say that the impos: tle is quoted at this point, but is not their argument built upon the sand? Because in the first, place Christ di not say when the mountains -would e rcmoved; nations prayer for nineteen centuries after the Saviour that the mountains should be removed and ap- parently their prayers werc not an- swered. In the twenticth century the wire- less telegraph appeared, and by means of it the message was sent through the mountain and on its way with the same speed and accuracy as if the mountain had been taken away: at ‘the same time it remained with all its grandeur and the .diamonds, the gold, and other valuable treasures were left as gifts of God to man, things which would have been lost had the moun- tain been taken up and cast into tho séa as the first Christians expected it to. be. In the long aco the mevntain was an . inconvenience to the carriers of messages for it took a great deai of time to go over or around it, but the wireless defied its greatness, therefore 21l the burdensome part of the moun- tain has been removed and all the de- sirable part has been left by Jehova, the Sovereign of nations as that won- derful song words it. . Not long ago in a sermon a minis- ter said no man has ever been a bet- ter business man than Chkrist. The good man alwavs the shrender one ll -other things being equal. Might mot Christ have had the wireless in mind at the time he spoke of the ra- moval of mountains, and perh would have given it tb the world i its «childhood, had the world heri réady to receive it in faith and make use of-it. He might have known they would only have doubted Him, and he did not care to cast pearls before swine to that extent. 4 However that may be, T feel sure in cur age, by means of the wireless relo- sraph we have seen the removal of mountains which the Bible has kept on the tongues of nations since Christ has llved.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I heard a friend remark a short time since, “Any one can go into a shop and pur- chase gifts providing they have the money in. their purse to pay for them, but every one has not the time and patience to sit down and make them. I value most the ‘gifts made for me for into every stitch goes a thought of me,’ and money cannct buy loving thoughts. 4 I was planning things made of linen last week and I have been thinking how a nice “Lettuce bag”’ made _of linen toweling, a “Celery bag,” and a Corset bag would' be. A linen sofa pillow- - to zo through the center. A linen cover for a nice gown, any of which you would know: how to make. A case for a nice dress is made of dotted muslin _about 65 inches in length; sew up the sides after folding across the center and finish with one and one-half inch hem; you can chain stitch the hem, or yoy can embroider it if you wish. Malke a large eve- let for the hanzer to be put through. Teanipe is ¢ useful gift — A five inch square of linen is finished with a button-hole edge.—One may utilize many scraps in this way. Handkerchief case made of linen, is made square. Allow each stde to turn over wide enough' for handkerchief button hole edge. The resting bag made for an in- valid is for s: dma, made of soft, white linen or dotted muslin, filled with something soft like “down,’ or silk floss. You want to make them So You can remove the pillow when the cover is roiled. On’ onc end attach a small bag for giasses and handker- chief, and on the other just a small} bag for a pencil and small pad.

A duster.of silkateen or cheese cloth should be made and put in the bag; and if srandma takes up is_dusty, or should she want to i e off anything that is not suitad to her taste, she has the ready ‘oth near.
