Fuller, THE LOVE OF MOTHERHOO0D, Dear Social Corner Sistare: Th's 15 a cold, eruel world, yat 1t i full of love and fragranee. The mother is like a rose bush, clothed in-the gar- ments of motherhiood, wud was not long ago a blushing bride. The baby comes to gladden the near: of the young mothsr and like a rose it un- Tolds its petals of pink 1# white, ana is as_sweet as a rose in dew time, and @evelops into a thing of beauty and mes a wonderful blessine. With all the sweetness and love of nature the 10se puts forih its green and glossy leaves, then the bud be- gins to slowly unfold its petals and be- come a full bloom rose and gives out to gladen the heart of man. But it soon fades.and ts.memozy is forgotten. iot so with the baby if it only remains a few brief weeks or montus, its lemory ever with us, and we alwiys remember its cun- ning little wavs. In the Bible the babe ie mentioned forty-four times, the rose only two times, and love a great many times. The baby is a gift from God. It is our CHRISTMAS SALADS. Dear Corner Ststers: These salads for may to you be with a mayonmaisa dressing. Surround witii lettuce leaves.

" A FEW HELPS IN NEEDLEWORK, Dear Social Corner Sisters: When making baby’s bootees, run « piece of narrow elastic around the ankle. it is very handy and never unties. Do might be a few reallers of The Social| not make it tight enough to make a Corner who love plants that bloom in the winter. It always seemed to = me “living plants” embody the spirit of the Christmas season, and therefore make suitable gifts. They-are gift which requires daily care, and therefore the receiver is reminded daily of the giver. There is the Jerusalem Cherry. or- namental pepper, dering Jew. 1 fill all my vaces in the fall with this plant, and when Christ- mas arrives, fill a basket with goodies or fruits, then'set a pretty vase ol this kind in the center and tie with a pretty red satin ribbon. The vitc will 'ast until spring;. then break it into 1it3 pleces and set it out in thé edge of flower boxes. T have had reach NOTICE! I beg to announce to my friends and the public that I have received my honorable discharge from the service, and have already started refurnishing my former store. New goods coming in daily, and I am ready to serve you as | have in the past. I feel proud to state that five months of steady training, with Uncle Sam has given mie wmdufulctpuienm,whid:iowmhmyfimuwhnl have sacrificed in my business. A LAHN FURNITURE COMPANY WE ARE PROVING EVERY DAY THAT THIS IS THE 1~ WAIST SHQP OF NORWICH Our Waist assortments are kept to the very top notch of campleteness by the continuous receipt of new styles from New York. ' There is hardly a day that a shipment doesn’t e el York, and what is more, the costs of these NEWER Waists pay more; * Prices ringe from $1.25 to $8.95. BENJAMIN LAHN to continue our show- red mark, 1 have found in embroidering any kind of sheer material it is better to baste it on heavy waxed paver: you will find that this is not in your way the. same as a loop. The needle passes readily through the goods, but slides off the paper; and the work can De bent into any shape and not wrin- kie. I also baste chiffon and geor- gette crepe on, paper when I haye any, sticking to do. This is quite a help. Another help which I know will be appreciated is this: When working.a pattern in crochet which requires a chain on which to work, crochet: your chain and then whip your crochete§ chain to a piece of muslin. After your work is started Tip it off the muslin. Make your piece-bag of mosquito petting. You can then locate the piece you are lgokinz for. How to make balls of yarn with clipped ends: Wind the wool 20 to 40 timés around two fingers, slip off and tie with strong thread, very_tigatly around the, center; clip the ends of the loops; shape the ball, by rolling between the.palms; and continue clip- ping and rolling until it is perfectly. round. If to be used at the end of a cord this should be tied in with the thread. Cut two round pieces of card- board the size of a large spool, make a hole in the center and sew your worsted through the two, then clip the outsides of the card board; then 1 tie a.thread through the center and clip it again. The number of winds “varies” with the sizes of balls made. How to finish hems of dresser- scarfs: Crochet a chain the length of the hem, baste the latter, and then sew the chain right through the mid- dle on the machine. This can be done in any color of thread anl makes & real pretty finish; or stitch rickrack braid on thé ends of the scarf and then crochet into the scailops. In using an old-fashioned crochet- hook your hands are sure to - get cramped. 1 took some sealing' wax and dropped it on the handle, mold- ing it while warm to my thumb and finger. Now I find I can uke it with- out any difficulty. This secraed to remedy the trouble. R. BROCK. RECIPES FOR CHRISTMAS.

A RED LETTER DAY FOR JENNIE. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: It was my privilege and pleasure to meet with Club No. 2, at, Buckingham Memorial Dec. 4. My first visit with these Sisters was very pleasant, and really a red letter day to me. I had traveled by trolley and steam cars about 54 miles, especially to attend this gathering, and arrived just in good time before the fine dinner was served. . As 1 was Boing up the stairs to find the Corner Sisters, I almost compared myself to the “cat in a straage gar- ret;” but when the sound of feminine voices was h®ard, and then a peep in- to the doorway, where I saw many gold ribbon bow-knots, the feeling of being. alone was removed. 1 was very grateful to Calla.Lily for her kind reception; also, for her introducing me to many new Si whom I had not previously mef was a pleasure to see some familiar faces and receive their greetings. At the announcement that dinner was to be served, we took placgs =* the Jong table, our genial Siser. A 'Mary, standing at one em%. S Tours Truly at her left hand. As we =g Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow, truly the food illusirated the rhantom gifts. Our appetites were keen for the good dishes of escal- loped potatoes, hot macaroni and cheese, baked beans, cold ham, olives, piékles, buns biscuits brown -bread, cake, cookies, pie and last, but not least, good coffee, My! What a nice time we rad, ev- erybody laughing, talking and eating, to make merry for thé spirit of friendship and good will prevailed. Of course, we did find a limit to the din- ner’ hour, and later enjoyed a social chat. Some Sisters had their knitting, or crocheting, and kept busy fingers. We were entertained with selections on the piano, patriotic songs, and then some of the girls, presumably from their ‘teens, partook of up-to-date methods of ‘dancing: also, g few back numbers to make up a varlety. Tt he- ing a party of Sisters, conditions to conform for modern two-steps, were all one-sided. All good times have to end, so was the case on this occasion, for some had to leave carlier than others; and one after another departed, all to take vleasant thoughts nd memories of an- other Social Corner visit together at Norwich. Personally, it was a long dv's ont- ing for'me, as it was rather late when 1 reached, home. Although it rated some in the early evening, T was Trotected by a Corner Sister's zener- ous umbrelia, when T needed it; and at my destination, as T steppeti from the traifl, the stars were shining their gold of the Social Coriw: Many thanks to all Sisters of Club No. 2, for my pleasant day.
