Dear Social Corner Sisters: I be- lieve the American women were never siruggling harder to live economically and to save food, or wasting morc than they be today. The housewife has been forced ‘rom her old frugal habits to experiment with new recipes and al! the substi- tute recipes are more expensive than the old ones and do not give s sat- isfactory results, rackers too hard to soak soft and devoid of flavor and bread that crum- Lies under the knife are trying the souls of the people everywhere. “We threw a whole loaf of bread into the garbage can,” said a woman other day. you do that?” 1 asked. othing else to be done,” said she, ‘we could take our old stale bread and comvert it into bread pudding, e a 0 e a i - a|but stale, inedible stuff would make g A GRE ar ;fir nor:;rifg e {an inedible pudding if eggs and but % can see its gleam at evening; it is|l°F etc, were added to it and resu't 5 Skt ot a5y, even greater waste.

One already needed the support of two of his companions, another came out tucking a large bottle in the front of his blouse. I was not proud of our city that morning. There were many wet eyes that day, but to me that was one or the saddest parts of the leave- taking. Women all over the country are urged to knit and keep knitting and rich and poor are gladly doing their part. I was on a back street tue other day | and passed a mother surrounded by a number of small children. She looked 5o tired and worn; but her poor crook- ed fingers were patiently struggling With a sweater (by the way I thought I should have nervous prostration be- fore I conquered the new fangied heel and the “Kitchener” toe, but I was as proud of that sock when finished, a lad with his first pair of trousers. There js much more the men can do for the good of those who are leav- ing us. The city officials could close the saloons during the departure of the draftedq men. That saloonkeeper could show himself a man by refusing to do what would demoralize those who are fighting and dying for his freedom. Do _you call him loyal to Uncle Sam? Would he send his own son away with such a blessing? Our law-makers could place the! sale of liquors (if they must be made and sold), in the hands of those who have a conscience, I have noticed that all doors are closed during the voting hours on election day, it is very necessary then that all must have a clear head, so no mistakes are made, and no votes lost. Are not the morals of our young men of as much importance as a political position ? 2 I was glad not to recognize any of our own home men that morning, but' each one represented some mother's boy. Think of the extra heartache if there were any in that crowd who had come to see the departure of their loved ones. There is a fine if liquor is sold to one in uniform. No doubt that saloon- Keeper flattered himself he was keep- ing within the law as the boys were still in citizens' clothes, but each one was wearing the badge of red. white and blue pinned to the front of his coat to show he belonged to Uncle Sam, and as his representative should have been refused. I have never thought much about my rights at the polls, but there is one thing sure, whenever and wherever wives and mothers have a chance to vote on that question, it won't take them long to do their best .to close the saloons, i, e il e h e d e PRACTICAL POLLY.

Have three from yodr_town on my register. one in a naval band, and two yeg- men, On a recent Sunday evening we (the church), entertained by invita- tion. a numbér of the French. sailors stationed here in town. One of our lo- cal citizens spoke to them, and they sang the Marsellaise for us. As they only spoké French, we had some spe- cial' guests talk to them. I told our church people that the only way to make the party a success was for us to smile in French, and provide cake for them to eat in English and I wquld guarantee we would get on-all right, and we did, though I felt a lot easier in my mind when it was over. A sailor lad who instructs in Amer- ichn @evices on French” boats was to speak for the church; but the navy has no regard for social engagements and at the moment he was supposéd to be speaking he was being taken on a ship mid stream. So we had to get alonz without his help. I could tell you of so many inter- esting things, but you all know how little along this line you can writa about. and as this town is in the war zone it applies here as well as else- here. A pleasant feature of my vear's work is that now 1 am getting so many letters from overseas, from boys who were a pert of our church life in the past months, thanking the _church through me for what the friendship of these people here has meant to ‘them: Today, Sunday, a lad who has been here since last November. thanked me for what he had received in the. way of friendship these past months. He is leaving tomorrow for overseas. Then that wonderful day, August 8th. When the 6Sth Regiment, Field Artillery from one of our island forts manouvered on. Plant Field, one looked at those 1,800 men, as they swept around that field _singing: “There’s a Long, Long Trail” with a sense ‘of admiration and sorrow. There indeed is a long trail! May home on. American shores be at the end. Taree of our Sunday School boys went off with that regiment, and an- other lad—and my heart strings pull when T think of him—an English boy without home or nmear of kin in this country. A voung lad. I took him in just to by hospitable, ‘then .as hej came again and again, because we loved him. The Saturday night before he left, or as the boys say, “My last Sunday on the Map,” he stayed with us. He said to me: “Great Aunt Love, (his name for me). do you think a bullet will get me?” 1 laughed and said: “If the bullet should zo up or down (be is six feet three and verv slim, in fact the boys called him Si you might get hit. but if it » sideways, you could sidestep it! “You know going on th# junket doesn't disturh me in the least, till T think what a long time it is going to be till T hear from vou: and indeed if report is true. they have gone “on a long, long frail” and the only thing to say is: “Mav God go with them; and bring them back.” Life in the war zone has brought me_something I have alwavs wanted, v truly family. so now T have who 'stay all the ti five: a sailor. a soldier and a voune lady from Michigan. whose husband is-a patient at the Naval hosrital. The sailor came in one night and said: “T have come to stay all night—a shift left no bunk in the barracks for me. I looked up from mv work to AR right! Glad &f it!” I have heard it so many times. Then he went on to sav: “It was a questio at the barracks where I would slekn,” and J said: “Oh, I know the War Register at the church I go to will do something for me!” He only staved nights then had breakfast. the dinner. and now three meals a day. He is in- structor on the foreign ships, as he speaks the language and knows. the devices. I feel any service I can render him is of small consequence compared to what he has done. Onz of twenty- two hundred men to go overseas . as the Princess Pat Regiment in the Canadian service. He is also one of the twelve. that were left in that regi- ment at the end of the vear, four of whom have since been killed. He returned to America and enlist. ed in the American navy and has been over and back eleven times in she A. T. S. His two sisters, both Red Cross nurses, hava been killed, one when a French hospital was bombed, the other when returning to France from a furlough, her ship was torpedoed; and she was drowned. Besides ali this, he has traveled all | over the world. He and Slim Jim told at the dinner table about some place! in India where they both had eaten. The world grows smaller every day, and with all this he had found time to take an M. D, degree and practice. He.was born in Texas, and lives in New York and California.. By birth- days he is some older than many lads T have known, but by spirit he is the same age. My Michigan girl was so forlorn in the place she was staying, when she came to me she said she knew how ! good 1 was to all the bovs, pernaps| I would be good to a lonely iittle girl. She plays and sings and is quite an addition to our family life. My soldier is one of the few sta- tioned here in town. He was up one night to supper and said: “If this bunch are having three meals per here I shall come to break- fast tomorrow myself, the foregoing is a true account of how I got my family. I believe in an equal distribution of labor and we have it in_this family. You should see the wash my sailor can hang on the line. I do the cook- ing and from two people who didn't eat much to five who eat everything in sight is some jump, for Daddy Man keeps ‘up his end and is in better health than for a long time. Etta Barber: 1 was glad to hear about your nice trips. I, too, went on a vacation to our summer shack. I was gone a week and a day. I clean- ed a ten-room house ready for an August tenant, I entertained an all- day picnic party of friends, had an army lad for Sunday, made a white sweater for a sailor and feil headlong out of an automobile. I returned quite the worse for wear: but my ' sailor doctor put me together in grand saape and I am as good as ever. Daddy has just called me to see an airplane going over, and I have to st0p now and make fen quarts of lem- onade for our Sunday evening . social hour. Oh, one thing T forget. When I re- turned from the 68th field day I found a stack of coats belonging to one of the island fort bands on the table in my front hall. It was an awful hot day. The band fellows wished they could put their coats somewhere, one said, for they were out here in the square. 1 know the lady in that ‘house. Her door is always unlocked. We can put them there!” Another time I came home from a long day at church, where we had had dinner and supper for a hundred, and found my front hall stacked with Zuns, belts and leggins.

Dear Social Corner Sisiter— 1 have been “silent for some’ time,’ but will not keep silerit any longer. No doubt many of you have forgotten I ever ex- isted. I am stili here. Your letters have all ‘been interesting to me. Aunt Mary's, Jennie's, Theoda's, Etta Barber's, and many others have been very instructive and helpful. 1 was surprised to find we had a sister in favor of women smoking, al- though .these days it is quite popular with some 'classes. 1 had one sister ask me if I though Jerusha was our Aunt Jerusha. I said: “No, Aunt Jerusha wouldn't smoke.” For all this sister. places her self on a level with the men in-smoking. I don't believe she would favor woman's rights, Why not just as much for one as the. other. T have attended quite a few of the picnics and enjoved myself immensely, and everywhere I go I hear the ques- tion: When are you going to have vours? So I kave made arrangements to have it Wednesday, September 11th, it stormy the 12th. I hope this will not conflict with the plans of others.

Dear Cornerites: Would I had the so plainly picture the 15th of August that all the sisters who could not be at Aunt Mary’s that day might see in their minds eve all the many pleas- ures and -beauties of the day, and so enjoy it, somewhat, too. First it ‘was an_ideal ‘day and 'I joined the sisters who left the the 9:45. north-bound trolley ride was very fine and the lily pond beautiful. THe visit with the sisters, very enjoyable. Then the smiles and word of welcome from Aunt Mary need no discription, as all who know her know they a part of her and we always look for them when we meet- her. and never are disappointed. Each car from north and south brought more until noontime, when some of the:south-bound sisters came who we had given up; but what fun they made for us all telling their ex- periences. They started early enough, but by some mistake took fhe West- erly car,’and when their mistake was discovereq had gone quite a distance, so must wait, for a car back to the city and start anew: but they reach- ed us in time for dinmer and a good afternoon of pleasure. $ Some went after befries before din- ner and many more during the af- ternoon and were very successful in finding them, large sweet and plenty. 1 could not zo but. thanks to the Greeneville sisters, I had a 5 pound grape basket full to brinz home with me and have enjoyed them very much, Thanks. In the afternoon there were read- ings, recitations, conundrums, stories, music and fun which made the time pass so swiftly that it was 6 o'clock and. time to start for home before any- one was really ready. This is the third time I have been able to meet with Club No. 2. and 1 have made many pleasant acquaint- nces. new ones each time, and have missed some of the others, alfo.

GREETINGS FROM GREAT GRAND- MA. Dear Social Corner Sisters: passes rapidly with me and age pre- vents my being with you at the so= cial gatherings. 1 do enjoy reading | the reports. and poems. There was pathos in the one from G. L. to his mother. As I read the pcem readily and earnestly the heart in praver went to God for his protecting care, that the dear soidier's life might be spared to return to home and mother, For a long time I have been inter- ested in “The Man Who Talks,” and make clippings of that column for my scrap book,” The reading vou can take Up at any time, and is ipteresting and profitable. 1 have no recipes to add as I am living on wheatless, nieatless ™ and sweetless food with plenty of fruit, corn and vegetables, As the Social Cornef hdds to its numbers the unity, good will and love manifested seems conducive of bring- ing happimess to many homes, ani may it ever continue is the prayer of GREAT: GRANDMA.

B been privileged to visit a most_delightful corner of the. New England _states. Nothing appeals more to the heart of a descendant of the: early settlers Who located on the Massachusetts coast, than to g0 and efijoy a family reunion in a quaint village, ‘where many old landmarks still remain, as evidence of homes and churches and now and then forsaken places:of industries. The old town of Sandwich, located at the neck of Cape Cod, is just mid- way between Boston and Province- town, sixty-two miles in either direc- tion.’ It‘has been my pleasurc to visit this' place several times heretofore, and again this. month of Augnst. The attraction and the surroundings, form a, congenial combination. As we ap- proach the quiet, peaceful little vil- lage, we can see from the car window the spire of the ancient church and we feel that soon we shall stand on the steps aad enter the door and theu Inside, where we hope to greet former friends, and meet with ones; to feel the touch of a kindred.hand. As the train halts at the station we find ourselves once more where iime does ot change many things, for Sand- wich_has retained its name for more than 270 years. The Indians had call- ed their little settlement Shawm: but at the advent of the white man, it was named Sandwich, in honor = of their home tcwn in England. A beautiful little lake, central in the village, still bears fhe original name. There are many very old houses whose gambrel roofs, with dormer windows, and shingled sides, present a type of long ago architecture. The wide streets, with ciand old trees, that have been -steadily, and slowly. owing, these many vears, are the Dénefits to this generation from other davs, . We like to crosé the threshold, and step within the rooms of the old- est house on Cape Cod, which was once the home of one of its earliest ministers. There is the oid red brick fire place, one on each side of the huge chimne: h occupies much space in the center of the house. The walls are barren npw, the floors sgueak as we' step about. As we loolz from the windows, of minature size, see the same landscape and we may breathe the salted air, and the same | sunlight shines upon us, the same as when the first occupants there enjoy- ed_the simple life, To spend a few moments within the walls of an old house suggests many thoughts and imaginings. as we | reflect on those who once enjoyed the summer days, and endured cold win- ters, at this particular hcmestead. Here stands tha old lilac bushes, each side of the front door, to bid us a seeming welcome as we come: and the tiger lilies, with their speckled heads on statelv stalks. close to the old stone wall by the roadside where once was the gateway, but long since in decay. As we look upon tnese tributes of na- ture we come to the old home each vear as the descendants of those who have found peace in another life. We enioy the greetings of others of our kith ands-kin who come long d fances hecause of the same bond of friendship. Before we go from Sandwich must pay our resnects to “a villaze” where the stones bear the honored names of our ancestors. As the shades of evening draw the summer day of the annual family re- vnion to a close we hear the parish church bell ringing a fond good nigit as it has done these many vears. We are glad we could come once more and meet with our kindred and find we have enjoyed every minute THE PICNIC AT NELLY BLY'S. Social Corner Sist We had_an- other pleasant outing at Nellie Bly tome.

The table spread upon the lawn, Old Glor flying in the breeze from the tall white flagpole; yellow flowers grow ing around the house mixed in the sther pretty blossomed plants. The hostess was all that could be desired.

Dear Sisiters of the Social Corner: A few months ago I wrote a letter on a New England homestead wherein the old time spirit 6f peace and kind- | ness had not been estranged, nor into its atmosphere had entered the un- rest of the world. It is with sacness I note that during the past two weeks the shadow of death has fallen on this beautiful oid home, and the one who for so many years in sincerety cared for those who had remained with her, and ever wel- comed home those who had turned their footsteps into the outside world, has been laid forever to rest beside thosé whom she loved in her early life. It is with a feeling of satisfaction that I reveal in thgse lines the thoughts of those who in days of joy tarried in this home, of those who in days of sadness found a shelter under its roof, and to know that my words are not platitudes nor meaningless. As in the shifting scenes of life when 0 many of us have been called far from the peaceful home of youthful days, we hold fast to thes¢ who are strong and steadfast, and whose com- panionship formed the foundation and impressionable standards of life. But earthly farewells are only for a little while, as one by one we are following on to that same rest. I shall leave with this teacher of childish days and loyal friends of lat- er years the imperishable sentiment and the assurance of rememberance of a truly beautiful life, the influence of which tim alone will accentuate, and the hope that the earthly sleep upon which time alone will accentuate, and the beginning of the fulfillment of her dreams and prayers, an entrance into the land of light and life immortal.
