GRANDAIA — Card received mailed to Great Grandm DOROTHY PERE No. Thanks for pretty cards received, and i A TALK ON THRIFT STAMPS. Dear Social Corner Friends: One minute talk on thrift stamps—eve body le talking of them just now. Six teen stamps fill a_thrift card: as soon as the card is filled it may be ex- changed for 2 War Saving Stamp, by the payment of a few cents additional, and these stamps will be redvemed by the government, Jan. 1, 1923, at five dollars each. The difference between the price paid and the redemption— price representing the four per cent. interest I have bought eight Thrift Stamp books. One party I gave a book had it filled in less than a week. If vou want to make a little gift, not very expensive, vou are helping the person given and heiping Uncle Sam. I have wanted to give my little nieces and nephew a emall gift and thought there isno better propogandist than @ child. They are so earnest and LAALTIC honest and thoroughly interested m anything which can be shown to be meritorious. 1 gave them a Thrift Stamp book with one Thrift Stamp in it. T wish all the children could be per- suaded to take their pennies out of the bank and buy Thrift Stamps. I have bought three Liberty bonds. UNCLE SAM’S DAUGHTER. FORTRESS MONROE. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Having a few minutes at my disposal, my mind wandered to Fort Sumpter, Sul- livan's Island, Isle of Palms, and Fort- ress Monroe. Fortress Monroe, Va., was com- me for defense in the war 1812, but was not finished until the last of the twenties. The sight of the fort which is made of granite, with walls so high they uld be on the level with our second windows, is grandly de- On the east eide is a battery” which is a small fort id masonry of about fifty arches. in which are forty massive cannon.

They are said to be over one hundred years old. There age 2 great many large cannon there, on the ramparts or tne para- pets. The arches which contained cannons closed at that time, but that is re the young officers lived. There cre very ‘nice places made cool in summer and warm in winter. The parapets and ramparts are built 5 you can walk on them over people’s heads. They said they «called the arches casements, and nearly all the officers lived there, There were about twenty buildings that time in the fort, including 1i- braries, hospitals and_barracks. There was a very large hotel out- side the fort, and they said “It was zelting to be quite a resort.” . They have an artillery school which is called “The Post” This.is where the young officers are taught the rudi- ments pertaining to war. They have a large map, and a great W many differently colored blocks of wood which represent a certain num- ber of men or divisions. They move them in battle as if they were real armies engaged in battle. A new class comes out every two vears, and the members are sent away it the, end of the period, to all parts of the United States. The daily ceremontes of the fort are very preity. First comes guard mount at fifteen minwutes of nine, in which h adjutant examines the arms and ing of the soldiers to be put on Then comes parade in the evening, vhich almost all the officers and soldiers take part. This is just be- fore sunset. There are Sundav morn- inspections, and muster role. There is a great amount of fun catching crabs there, i CO-BAR. TIMELY TESTED RECIPES.

Gather the pods while the seeds are still very Small. String them like beans and cut into two or three lengths. Cover with boiling water and hoil geutlv until tender. If they are young and| fresh they will cook in twenty-fiv or thirty minutes. Pour off some of the water, which will serve for soup. Sea- son with salt and butter and serve at once. When the pods are fresh and tender they ‘haye an exquisite flavor. When the seeds have grown large and the pods become tongh they may be shelled and cooked like any other riety of peas. The seeds of the sus pea are tender and fine flavored. Peas With Lettuce: One quart peas, two tablespoons butter, one head let- tuce—the heart, pne small onlon, teaspoon sugar, one-half eill wate Put all the inzredients into a stewpan, cover and place over the fire and cook for five minutes, tossing the vegeta- bles several times.

Some of these may be thrown away, but n others there will be one or more s s or| artieles of éspecial interest out the wire fasteners and sort the ecn- tents into on, avel. biography history. and the like.

To bind these articles together. cut strips of manila paper one and one- half to two inches in width and the lerigth of the maszazines. Fold these lensthwise in the middle, and paste v either side. Slip the back edge of the printed pages into the crease thns formed, fastening it securely wth paste. Now thréad a needle with a strong thread and sew the pages to- gether through and through to this re- enforcement. Place as many of the separate stories as desired together, hore holes through them one-half inch from the back edge near the top hottom, and in the middie, 2nd 1a them together with a sfrong cord. Draw over the outside of all a streng manila cover, pasting it liberally to the back. Or the sheets may bookbinder and at be sent to 2 a slight expense made into an interesting book. Or the maegazines will always be welconie at_hospitals, schools, and other in tutions. L. M. B. OLD PEOPLE’S PARADISE. Dear Sisters of The Social Corner: I little thought it would ever be my privilege to visit. the Pacific coast. I me Jast September to .this land of unshine and flowers, and it is well called “the Queen of the Beaches,” and is a great tour- ist center. There are many attrac- tions ¢o call the people beside the fine bathing beaches. A fine library and park, good roads, and pretty homes. ‘When 1 received the home papers and read of the severe winter: could not realize it, as there has not been a day this winter that the chii- dren have not played in the sand or the beich, or some one been in bath- ing. Flowers have been in blossom all the time. I think it an “Old People’ Paradise,” and children's play- ground. In the Liberty Loan parade thers were 4,000 children in line from ths different schools. We are near Fort McArthur, Los Angeles harbor, the home of the so diers and sailors; and there are many side trips ome csn take «to sec t country. Crossing over the mountain grand, and then riding for through orange groves. 1 only ywish I could in and all to a picnic. DOROTHY PERKINS, NO. L By hou e you one THESE ARE WARTIME SALADS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: These salads have the merit of being some- thing new and satisfying, as they make a little fish or meat go a long wa. Rice Salad—Take 1 pound of cookeq rice, a large onion, a tablespoon of Worcester sauce, pepper, salt, vine- gar to taste, half a tin of sardines. Drain the ricez When cold mix with the minced onion and Worcester sauce. Chop the sardines finely, add with their oil to the rice; mix; add pepper, salt and vinegar to taste, and serve. Enough for six people. Carrot Salad—1-2 pound of cold boiled chopped carrots, two finely minced onions, half a tin of preserved herring or 1-2 pound of any sort of cold Dboiled fish. Free the fish from ekin and bone, flake it; mix the car- rots, fish and onions; season to taste brownbread and butter or margarine and hot coffee. Butter Bean Salad—Make this ex- actly like the rice salad, first dressing the beans with the oil from the sar- dines. Allow 1-2 pound of cooked beans to a small tin of sardines. The butter beans should be soaked for 24 hours ‘before being cooked. Don't throw away the bean water—use it for soup. Green Pea Salad—1-2 pound sau- sages, 1 packet of dried green peas; onion and vinegar . Soak the peas ac- cording to directions on packet. Cook till very soft; drain, reserve. Boil the sausages; leave till cold. Slice -with pepper, salt and a little Worcester till - just - set, bul!llix together, thicken with pea flour, (0ld Bindloss, Charles Neville Buck, cook for 15 minutes, season to taste| Winsi with pepper and sait, and you will have a g0od savory soup. Cabbage Salad—Cook ' the cabbage till tender; drain, and press over night under a heavy weight. Chop finely, add two hard boiled eggs and a gill of vinegar. Mix well, season to taste sauce; serve. Allow half an egg (sliced) per head. Watercress salad, made with chopped eggs and water- cress; beetroot salad, made with a small tin of salmon and two large beetroots; herring salad, made with cold potatoes and pickled herring, are all savory salads that fill and feed. HANNAH WHO. HOW LITTLE CHILDREN BEGUILE Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I wonder if you woul enjoy an epitaph on children? No, ‘A Spinster” for as sured reasons is 'supposed to dislike children and veer away on the as- sumption that they are likely to ex- plode, disintegrate, or some other un- expected manifestation might occur, and I am not immune in that respect. Nevertheless, such things do happen. However, I save my pennies for the children, and not long since a littic boy of four was given a penny which he promptly swallowed. I am unable to express the agonized look whicl came over the mother’s face when tic child made the announcement that he bad made a penny ante and had be- come a bank. Nor could I tell you of the number of bottles of castor oil which that boy digested during _ti week,’ nor of the anxious days whi that penny was being nourished. But no more pennies for him. He pleads eloquently with his eyes, throws iong- | ing glances and says: _“Listen, don’t yer know I like pen- nies But I shake my head and say: * more penny-antes for you. Penn! were not made to cat.” A little girl of my acquaintance thrust her head out of the door the other evening with_the words: “I am sleeping and you are making too much noise (I was talking, those who know will take notice), ang I can't sle:n without my doll” I hesitated. Weari- ness overtook me, for I knew that doll was far away in the basement, but the thought haunted me that my laziness might preverdt a night's sleep, so I nimbly trotted down five flights and brought the doll, armless and legles Dorothy Jane, to the bosom of her devoted owner, and the expreseed rap tures offset the weight in my weary appendages. I afterward, learned that her mother had deprived her of her doll that nignt because she had been nanghty, but he knew whom to approach. She iooks at me naively and says: ‘For whom do you save your pennies?” Oh! it takes the innocent li children to beguile. THE LITTLE SPINSTER. RULES FOR THE NEWLYWEDS.

TRYING TO KNOW BEANS. Dear Social Corner Members: As beans are one of our staple crops, and there are so many theories in regard to them, I have been experimenting, with some knowledge gained. Last fall I sterilized from directions in the paper at 130 degrees Fr. beans. They felt so hot that I removed them from the oven at 128 degrees. were stored in boxes and a moth ball placed in each one, and they are fr from weevils. Beans do not take kindly to windowr culture; the pole beans will grow two feet, have a few blossoms and tiny pods; and the bush beans when four inches lose color and drop their leaves and die. The majority of people say beans must be planted when the moon is new: others contenq they can be sow- ed any time and do well, Last season I planted beans in two boxes in the old moon: they came up well but produced only a few pods; while those sowed when the moon w in its first quarter yielded well. Sha.d try them again and watch resulfs. Should be pleased to hear from »i ers: that have tried them. I thought, lke most people, that the root formed where the eye is, but ny placing a few beans between wet paper I found that the root grows from the end and the eye is where it received its sustenance while growing in ti- pod. om this fact it is best if one hae time to assist nature to put the bear.s with the eyes down as they can con: up in less time than when dropped & other way. ‘When they first appear above soil people of to blame for thinking the beans ha in ‘his wife—their n love and rest— : the experience are not them up and setting them down other seeds usually grow.

Dear Social Corner Friends: As the man of the house and myself have been reading quite a bit the past winter, we take pleasure in reading the lettcrs of the Social Corner writers telling cf the authors and books which most ap- peal to them. As we are by our lonesome most of the time, one reads aloud while tne other is busy at something which does not_interfere with listening to tne story. Occasionally we find a book which does not suit both, and in that case the one who likes it fimishes it alone. I think we have read all of Josenk 0. Lincoln’s books, and we did enjoy them very much, because there is so much of the good side of haman nature in them; another that,the characte:s and scenes are nearly all of quaimt old Cape Cod. ‘We also like Harold Bell Wrigit's thinly. Mix the peas and sausages to- gether, mince, and add the onion; add a gill of mint sauce and pepper and salt to taste. Mix; serve. Don't waste the water from the sausages and peas. {to bother.

Think everyone should read' Gene Stratton Porter's books. They are brimful of out-of-door life, and T don’t see how anyone can get any evil thoughts from reading them. Mrs. Porter must have a wonderful DPlace at Timber-lost' cabin ‘surround- ed by Wildflower woods in morthern Indiana. In the Ladies' Home Journal of September, 1916, she writes that her kome is three miles from a railroad station; and that, in the last two sea- sons, she has set out, mostly with her own' fingers the roots of more than ten thousand wild trees, Sowers and ferns. “Among these I live and work almost never going into.the world. Daily I see and handle the rarest flowers, moths and birds native with us; feed them, photograph them, and paint them in water colors. I live in a world of light, fragrance, beauty and song. No wonder it overflows in- my books.” One of the favorite books of the man of the house is The Caliph of Bagdad, by Sylvanus ' Cobb, Jr. He also_likes books by Jules Verne and H. Rider Hagzard. Says “there is some pep in those.” Keziah Doolittle: Glad you think you have found out Who Is Who! But I have received no proof of it vyet. Hope your sick folks are all well. TWICE TWENTY. HOW SHIRKERS ARE MADE. Dear Social Corner Friends: The Social Corner text: “The Mother's Heart is the Child's Schoolroom,” sug- gests the following incident ' which happened in our immediate neighbor- hood recent] Several liitle girls were having a party. One little miss said she could not_bring anything good to eat, as her mother had told her she was 100 busy mother haqd also said: “Oh! They will let you in if you don’t bring anything.” ‘Well, this time the other little girls decided not to let this girl in unless she brought somethin; Fipally the offender returned with something vhich was nowhere near her share, and the others knew it, but they let her in. What kind of a standard is’this mother planting in her child’s heart? Not the kind our forefathers upheld. Seems to me there are some hard jolts ahead for those who are taught to expect they will “get in” without While it may not be an easy task to instil in the hearts of little folks a desire to do their part, it is our duty to try. Aunt Mehitable’s description of Mary Slessor’s life work has aroused my in- terest. Hope to read the book some day. All the letters are so full of good thoughts each of us may feel proud to as Hillside has naméd our Corner. DREAMER. TV/O TESTED RECIPES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: When vou get tired of discussing books pictures, I suggest that you ‘ake ' up the subject of collections for awhile. Most everybody collects something {from postage stamps to old chiaa.

In this no mistake was. made, as the appropriation has already ‘been recommended according to_ council .action. At the outset the council favored, the purchase of ano- ther triple combination machine,- but the committee. wisely decided that two motor pumpers, and the old reliable steam fire engine = were apparatus sufficient in' the pumping line. With a new apparatus for the Nameaugs, the entire department will be motor- ized, and that will surely come before the next year-is two months old. The Chamber of Commerce. h: finally succeeded in getting the ser- vice of a real live wire secretary in the person of James G. Hammond, the well-known actor, whose stage. . life and "expérience gained’ by travel fits him to the position.- There is nothing that he believes would be for the. bet- terment of New London that he is backward about fackling, as he is be- vond the stage fright period,- and he knows just what fits in to make com- plete the progressive city. He not only looks out for the interests of New London, but- also for the interest of other {owns in_this section, but always provided that New London in some way will rcceive some benefits. He became interested in the location of the provosed. Connecticut State. Farm for Women provided for at the last ses- sion of the legislature. He soon as- certained that New London had been played to the limit ‘in’ the Lieutenant Jeffers matter, there is evident regrat of what was done and attempted on; the part of the mayor, and. he now seeks to make reparation. He actually fayors an ordinance adopted at the last meeting of the council to. raise; the pay of the police officers, the very men who, as a whole he had classed as incompetents not many - moons since. The ordinance provides for an increase in -the pay of patrolmen of $20 a month, which will. be welcome by the cops in these times of very high cost of living, and yet their pay is not as much as the pay of laborers in plants ensaged in government work. The police put in seven days a week and for that they- will receive in the future $120 a month. The. sergeants will get $125, the lieutenant $135. while the chief of police, the mayor himsell receives almgst $70 a month, not hardly enough to buy cigars for the suests he entertains as the head of the municipality.

Now, while the high wages are pre- vailing, the teachers in the public schools are planning to get their bit while the getting is good. The school marms have all signed contracts to resume teaching for the school year, but they claim it is the sort of con- tract that does not bind, not to the extent of preventing the teachers from demanding more pay.

No teacher worthy of the honor ought to be asked to teach for less than $1,000 a year, es- pecially in these times of high prices.
