HOW A GOS88IP WAS REPROVED. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I saw a letter in the Social ‘Corner concerning smoking. While I don't in- dulge in smoking I might do some- thing wotse than that. I might taks snuff and I think that is worse than smoking éubebs or sweet fern. 1 might ¢hew gum, I might scold. The only way for us to do is to takeé pat- tern after the priest and say a Ros- ary for ourselves that we may be kept from doing those things we have such @ hortér of seeing done. 1 read the followihg story in the National Hibérnfan of A Gossip Re- buked. A priest set out on a journey of about two miles, to visit a neigh- boring priest who was very ill. After conyersing with his friend for some tie he took his departure in the cool of the évening and directed his steps homeward. He had scarcely left the rectory when he met a woman whom he ‘at’ once recognized as a resident of his own village, who had the repu- tation of being a great gossip, and the fact was well known to the priest. “Good evening® your reverence!” said she. “It's right glad [ am now (0 have met you for there's a long way Lefore me. 'You'll not mind walking the road with me, your reverence?” “NOt at all! On the contrary I shall be pleased to have your compa: After trudeing alonz together for some minutes, the zossip cast a sharp glance upward into the calm, mild face of her venerable companion, threw back her head and began: “Oh, then, your reverfce, I was| Just thinking that of all the scolding wives I ever heard tell of. May Cal- lop (she's my next door neighbor), is about the worst. Do you mind fa- thar?” “No,” replied the priest, I think she must have been in the village I “Your reverenge, she added, the daughter of old Thady Reese, you mind him, father?" “Yes! Yes! I know him very well” “I dom't know how such a decent man came to have guch a scold. Her tongue is never still, and she's always gadding about, and— “If that be the case.” said the old priest, quietly, “we can do nothinz better than say the Rosary for the poor woman, that she may soon mend her ways. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Gho and they went through the entire Rosary of fifteen decades. By the time it was finished they had accom- plished a zood bit of their journey As soon as the priest made a sign of the cross the woman resumed: “'Fis_beyord endurance, your rev- erence, living next door to her; and I don't know how her husband bears o “Well, Well, that's too bad,” said thé priest. “The best thing we can do is to say a Rosary for both of you, that you may have sirenzth to endure her dith patience. ‘In the name of the Father, etc, and again they recited the whole Rosary. They had now gone two-thirds of the way She . went on: “And thé poor, inno- cent children, your reverence, untidy, nd neglected from morning till night!” Then we can do nothing better than say a Rosary for the poor littie ones. ‘In_the name of the Father—'" When they recited the last “Hail sight. ere we part, T belleve,” said the The next time we meet on I hope we may have as pleas- ant and profitable a journey as this has been. We jave done a good Lour's praying, Mrs. Dooney.” The woman dropped a curtsey, “I don’t know about that, Father” with a twinkle in her eye, I mistrust you did it on purpose to make me hold my tongue.’ The priest smiled, and went on his way. 1 thought that a good rebuke for the poor soul and she had ne time to talk il RYE BROCK. SALADS. Social Corner Sisters: like these salads: Beet Salad: Cut cold beets into6 half- inch dice; mix with shredded lettuce leaves cr watercress, and serve on whole lettuce leaves, covered with French dressing. Arrange alternate layers of cold, cooked beets and hard-boiled eggs on a. bed of lettuce leaves, and sprinkle over the top a little finely-chopped onions. Serve with French dressing. Arrange alternately layers 6t cold, cooked beets and cabbage, finely chop- ped and well mixed with mayonhaise or cooked salad dressing. Serve on let- tuce. Pepper and Cream - Cheese Salad: One large green pepper, two table- spoons walnuts, one cream cheese. Mayonnaise dressing. Select a large pepper that is sweet: cut off the stem end; remove the seeds and turn it up- side down to drain. Mash the cream cheesc; mix with the walnuts and press into the pepper, being careful to fill all the Ccrevices. Set away on the icé for several hours; when ready to serve cut into thin slices and serve on crisp lettuce leaves with mayonnaise dressing. Best wishes tg all. EASTER LILY. DO NOT FORGET THE PICNIC.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: T am all behind the times for I missed my last Saturday’s Bulletin, or it missed me 1 suppose you all enjoyed the Fourth It wae 4 Red Letter day for me, A week before a letter came from a cousin of my father (or more prop- erly a son of a cousin), asking me to enjoy a real Rhode Island clambake in’ the_ pretty’ village (in fact on the same homestead) where my great- grandfather spent his iast days. answered regretting that it was im- possible, but when a second letter came I took the small son and de- Iparted for an unknown town and the relatives T had hever seen. After a careful study of time tables. I left for Providence Wednésday morning and in the afternoén took a train for Wedd River. e got an occasional view of the blue watér as we passed Appanaug. At the Junction, we teok the local train for Hope Valley—a pretty \Village ef which I had often heard. We passed a deserted village and many homeés eof the past—homes no longer, At the station we were met by auté and whirled t6 the preity home o6 our relatives, whose warm wélgm made us fee! at home at onee. e next day opened so quietly it seémed like Bunday and even as the beople gathered, coming by m and auto to the numbet of fifty-five, be- side several babiés, theré was no noise except the greetings, jokes and laugh- ter. Everybody took a hand at the work and at the eating. It was my first clam bake and when clams, fish, po- tatdes afd lobsters all came fram the }m I appreciated Rhode lIsland cook- ng. After the dishes were clean Once more we raked the pit for stray clams and they weré good. One tiny 4-véar old put a fat hand on his rounding stomach and said with a &igh, while raking with the other hand, “Oh, dear, there are lots more!™ After the comtun{ began to break up a few of us tool an auto ride to the old houss, now unoccupied, where my father spent many boyhaod days with a favorite uncle and aunt. I took spray of pink from the cemetery for his grave and could almost hear his cheerful voice. The next Morning our host took us, with two other members of the par- ty, to Providenes by automobile and I passed the ruins of a house where I spent a delightful week just twenty ears ago: through the restful coun- try, into the busy villazes and on through the city. We made a visit to my daughter and took the train home, 0On the t¥ip the small son was Our family véunion had Included relatives from Worcester, Mass, New York city and Utah. ~ On the trip the small son was much interested in a drove of real ponies that we siw in a pasture near Hope Valley. Around Providence there are many thriving gardens and flelds of pota- toe: No need to take expensive trips for beautiful scenery. ETTA BARBER. AUNT MARY WOULD HAVE EN- JOYED BEING THERE, Dear Social Corner Friends: I en- joyed very much reading the account of “The Cottagé Cheese Lunch” writ- ten by Jack Spratt’s Wife. I am very fond of cottage cheese and would have been very glad to have attended the lunch and enjoyed the good things with Mrs, Spratt. We are all learning many useful lessons during this terrible war that if put into practice in our daily lives may be a great blessing to us. Had I only known when Twice Twenty took her trip to the Rose of New England, I would have stood on my doorstep and waved to her as she was within a stone's throw of my home. I oncé hearq a woman who had traveled a great deal crossed the ocean more than once and visited for- eign lands, say that “part of the way from Norwich to Jewett City was the Switzerland of America and rivaled many places in beauty that some peo- ple went many miles to see.” I think it is a nice way to take a day’s vacation to g0 6n a trolley ride and see some of the béautiful scenery right here in our own state. Take a ride from Norwich to Willimantic on the trolley and spend the day at the camp ground and it will do any tired housekeeper more good than a visit from an M. D,, bé he ever so good. With all good wishes to friends of The Cornet. AUNT MARY. RECIPES FIT THE TIMES. Dear Social Corner Sisters: These recipes seemn ,to fit the present situa- tion: Scotoh Oat Cake: One cup oat flour one-quarter teaspoon salt, flour tc make stiff dough. The oatmeal must he finely ground and the dough very stiff. Roil out on a fleured board to one- eighth in¢h thick and bake the sheet in a very slow oven until dry and hard but not brown. Break into irregular pieces. Graham Puffs: Two cups graham flour, one teaspoon sugar, one-half teaspoon salt, two cups milk, three eggs. Mix dry ingredient; add the milk then egas heaten very light; beat 3 minutes: turn into hot buttered gem pans and bake in moderate oven one- half hou Rice Cal One cup flour, two tea- spoons baking powder, one-half tea- spoon salt, two eggs, one tablespoon melted butter, one cup boiled rice, and milk. Mix and sift the dry ingredients add milk, rice, and beaten egks; beat thoroughly: add melted butter and drop by spoonfuls on a hot griddle. Berve with butter and maple syrup. Boston Brown Bread: Two cups rye { meal, 6ne cup corn meal, one teaspoon salt, one-half cup molasses, one tea- spoon soda, two cups sour milk. Dis- solve the soda in the milk. Mix and sift the dry ingredients; add the sour milk ané molasdes; pour into a but- tered mold and steam three hours. Brown in the over: twenty minutes. L. M B WHAT SALT WILL DO, par iy Dear Soclal Cormerites: Do you know it is really surprising what a pinch of salt will do. I have _dropped it inte a grape fruit and it became as sweet as if su- gared. ‘ I have drobped a pinch into a eup of coffee and improved its flavor a hun- dred pér cent. I have put it in & eup of eocoa and made it twice as palatable. A pinch of salt put into any edible that has been made too sweet will at once give it an improved taste. A pinch of salt in a éup of hot wa- ter will overeome indigestion or flatu.- Jshnlcy and make the sufférer comfort- able. 2 There seems to be something magi- ¢al about salt for it nét only seasons food but it neitralizes aeids and im- proves the flavor of both puddings and drinks, If you do not know anything about the use of a pinch of salt just give it your attention at omee. It should not be neglected. REBBECCA. SOFT AND PRETTY RUGS, . : ———a Dear Social Corner Sistere: Did any of you ever try to make a braided rug out of old stockings? Try it and gee what bright, protty rugs wou can havé. If you want it extra bright you can color the White onés any shade you wish. They are Boft to Sew and can be made any shape or size to fit any where you want them. 1 whs glad to read about the pic- nic and I hope to be with you. o LEBANON SOCIAL CLUB MEET.

The Jday was beautiful and the rooms very cool, although the company was not as large as usual owing to changing the day for July, Close to thirty sisters and children sat dowt to dinner. As we have no appeinted hostesses, we all take hold and do our part in ;he work, and everyone seems to en- oy it.

JERUSHA REPLIES. you Dear Corner Sisters: If smoking is a soiace for gentlemen, how can it be anything less for ladies. it is no rarity to find women who There are fewer wemen who in America than in England, in England than in France, fewer in France than in Spain. I agree with Aunt Mary that a mother nursing a child does not look well with a cigar in her mouth. Neither does a president of America ith a cigar in ‘his mouth in his por- rait: nor public or professional gen- tlemen photographed with a pipe_in mouths or in their hands, but uch pictures are quits common. The little world we live in makes lethe difference ‘in our classification cices, and also to our is a heavenly regard for Madame Nieotine and in Peru when they celebrate “The ast Supper of the Savior with His ples,” e isciple has a cigar in his mouth, and the representa- of or a solacing cigar. This seems sacriligious to people of sther countries, but the Peruvians not 0. K. this religious perform- would ince were habit. Jerusha No. 1 needs she stands right where I did once.

I do mot it devoid of this manly to advance, for ite ladies who do not smoke to join me in this solacing habit; but 1 find scholarly gentlemen rather fond of a little smoke with lady is_well as gentlemen friends. I had no intention of shocking any of the Social Corner Sisters by my habit or my boldness and I venture to write this to soften the shock. JERUSHA. TO PREVENT MISHAPS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Just a few lines to remind you that I have not forgotten you and I wonder whether the Sisters will appreciate some of my suggestions and thus al- low me to repay some of the benefits derived from this circle. A wise old proverb says: “A stitch in time saves nine,” and we all know that more often the timely stitch saves ninety and nine. For instance, the Monday's wash comes down in the dirt because a broken hook has not been replaced, and the window shade must be care- fully rolled up morning after morning because the spring needs a bit of re- pairing. Five minutes would eaeily overcome all that trouble. The back step must be pushed in place twenty times a day to prevent somebody from falling. I have only noted two or three ftems as they occur to me. You could all multiply them many times; if not in your own homes, then in some home of which you know, I wonder if the Sisters know of some of the different uses to which sait may be put? I think my ideas may bé interesting and perhaps helpful to The Corner. There is no better tooth- wash or powder than salt; it will preserve the teeth and keep the gums firm and healthy. 1t gingham, calico, percale and other colored or printed wash goods liable to fade are soaked in a solution of salt and water before washing, they will hold their color much better. Careful- ly washed after such treatment, there is little danger of their fading. It is one of the best cures for sore throat, either with water as a gargle or taken dry in the mouth. Two tea- spoons of salt in a cup of warm water is an emetic always at hand. A little salt dissolved in warm water is a strengthening wash for the eves and excellent for inflammation, €alt rubbed on cups will remove the most obstinate tea stains. If slightly moistened and sprinkled on your car- pets or art squares, it will brighten the colors and prevent moths. Salt mixed with lard to form a paste, spread on a cloth and applied in cases of severe inflammation, acts sometimes almost like magic. June: Am glad to welcome you in our eircle. I know the Sisters will be very glad to see what beautiful fancy work you do. Goldenrod: Hope to hear from you soon. Wild -Rose: Did you receive the bisthday card I sent to you? B-mehugt: Hope to seé you at Cov- entry I 18th. \ luebird : ope to see you at our ‘annual pienic the 1Sth. : Aunt Hester: Saw you fn Mysti¢ with your hubby a short time azo. 1 was in ‘an adto, $0 did not have a chance to epeak to you. Hope you will be sbie to go o Coventry lake the 18th. Best wishes to ell the Sisters, BROWNIE. BERVING FigH. Dear Social Corner Sisters: This is the time of the year to eat fish as it takes the place of meat which should be eatan in colder weather. Manner of Fryinz Fish: After the fish is well cleansed, lay it on a folded towel and dry out all the water. When well wiped and dry, roil it in wheat flour, rolled crackers, grated stale bread, or Indian meal, whichever may bé preferred; wheat flour will general- Iy be liked. Have a thick-bottomed frying pan or spider, with plenty of sweet lard salted (a tablespoon of salt to each pound of lard), never use but- ter as it is apt to burn and-has a ten- dency to soften the fish. For fresh fish which have not Lpen previously sal ed, let it becobme boiling hot, then ¥ the fish in it and let it fry sently, un- til one side is a fine delicats brown, then turn the other, when both are done, take it up carefully and serve quickly, or’keep it covered with a tin cover, and set the fish where it will keep hot. Boiled Cod: Lay the fish in cold wa- ter, a little sait. for half an hour. Wipe dry and sew up in a linen cloth, coarse and clean, fitted to the shape of the cod. Have bu‘ one fold over each part. Lay in the fish ‘kettle, cover with boiling water, salted at discretion. Al- low nearly an hour for a piece weisi ing four pounds. Stuffing For Baked Fish: Eight| good-sized onions chopped fine; half | that quantity of bread crumbs, but-| ter the size of hen's eégg, plenty of pepper and salt, and mix thoroughly | with anchovy sauce until quite red.| Btuff your fish with the compound and pour the rest over it previous sprinkling it with a little red pepper. | Shad, pickerel, and trout are good the same way. ‘Tomatoes can be used in- stead of anchovies, and are more econ- omical. If using them take pork in place of butter and chop fine. Baked Haddock: Choose a nice fish of about six pounds, which trim and scrape nicely clean and fill with a stuffing of veal, chopped ham and bread crumbs, sew up with strong thread, and shape the fish round, put- ting its tail into its mouth, or if two are required, lay them alonz the dish reversed, that is, tail to head: rub over with plenty of butter, or a batter of eggs and four, and then sprinkle with bread crumbs. Let the ovi the fish will be ready. Mu 2 good accompaniment. Baked White Fish: Fill the fish with a stuffing of fine bread crumbs and a little butfer; sew up the fish: sprinkle with butter, pepper and salt. Dredge with, flour and bake on hour, basting often and serving with parsley sauce or egg sauce. Baked Pickerel: Remove scale, wash and wipe dry. Remove the bones by securing the head and taking Liold of the back bone and puiling downward: then cut fish in two peces lengthwise: make a dressing of one pint of milk put over the fire in a arina hoiler, and when it has reached boiling point add gradually a plece of butter about the size of an egg, into which there has been blespoons of flour. Se and pepper and let it come to a boil again. Be sure and have this thick enough so that it will not run. Put half of the fish in a buttered baking pari and lay on the dressing, which will not run off if of the proper con- sistency, and.lay over this other half of the fish, seaconed swith salt and pepper, and dredge with' flour: Pour in one cup of boiling water in bottom of pan and bake until done. This is de- lclous. Best' wishes to all MOUNTAIN LAUREL. the head, on with salt A NOTE FROM READY. Dear Social Corner again I greet you.
