NEW YORK ‘AFOOT. ) Dear Sisters of The Social Cormer: York afeot was a novel sight. Hiking is-gobd: th_fair weather, but with the pouring-rain besmattering the waddling shankers, it was & dismal adventure. ;but one .must. not forget that theorectically all things work to- ether for good- R Shs for mgfse)r T~had no ¢hoiée but to hike, and during a-jull in .the seething downpour started on my two mile and one half jaunt downtown, congratulating myself ‘that the stretch was so short. People were huddled together in bunches zt< the-street crossjngs, awaiting afi octasfonAl: which rumbled along svith® pa cven straddling the roofs and p ing from the doors. but no prospect of stopping. ‘Fhe iraffic congestion was such that t ocross a street was a hazardous risk, but I made.-the trip with no mishap, excepting a midsum- mer bath,'minus the robe. Everything on.wheele was speeding downtown. Big automobile trucks and moving vans whirled along, herded with men and women and umbrellas jammed in every direction. Humanity oozed out of the surface car windows and perched on the roofs in various at- titudes. On the roof of one car sat a monstyous womam Angling gn umbrel- la. How she £ “there?r, was. mystery. Hanging 1o the~ entls ~ of wagons were dignified men who were devoting their energies In. a manner unknown to their usual demeanor. Some took ‘advaniage of the wise scheme of boarding an:uptown surface car in the early morning, So as to meet themselyves coming_down. but arpived ‘at the terminals only ' to find themselves confronted .with a mob that had carried out the same idea; numberless - street: cars; loeked, —and filled with passengers who had climbed in the windows to sit there for hours, and a swarm of taxis whose driv- ers were howling “Take you down town. Choice seats for sale.” These choice seats meant a heavy toll, and their occupants were trundled down- town about noon, in time to wonder how they were going to get back. Lower Broadway resembled a fu- neral procession. Taxis four abreast were decorously plugging along. Au- tomobile trucks, motor wagons, jitneys, and every devisable means of wheeling were employed, and trying to extricate themeslves from the hopeless medley of unique equipage. The shankers were poising 'umbrellas and dodging the stream of traffic in. frantic endeavors to make .their offiges. About four o'clock the procession of homegetters began. B 2 truck, ‘were” engaged by firmi¥ at”an early hour for the actommodation, of their employes, and mapy were miore than four hours getting . through the congested parts of the city. An auto- mobile truck_brought, me home.

Since color js. such an item in dress: why is it not j portant to vour : Bouse Green is cooling, restful and relieving to the eves. The fundamental.color in your room or home is vour wall paner. That does not mean that if you. like bright red you must have yvour walls pavered with.it. The paper.can be a quiet drab, soothing buff or almost any neutral color. A single red cushion will strike that daring note that you will like if vou are fond of red. And You will-find that just that dash of.red 1 is mofe gatisfactory in the end than'a wall or room papered in that cojor. Tt is wise to choose your wall paper | With a View to looking at it for the| rest of vour life.

SEASONABLE RECIPES. Dear Social Corner Sisters: These recipes are likely to be appreciated by someone: { Scallooed New Cabbage—Choose a small, firm head of cabbage, cut it in auarters. and boil in-salted ‘water un- til tender. Cool, then chop and season with salt. pepper and melted butter. To the chopped cabbage add one ezg well heaten and a little rich milk to moisten. Put the cabbage in an oiled casserole, sprinkle - too thickly with buttered crumbs and grated cheese. dot with a little butter. and bake 30 min- utes in a moderate oven. = Peach Blanc Mange—Cover one-half box relatin with one-half cun cold water and let stand one-half ~hour.

TO AVOID FAIN'NG FLESH. i~ Dear Social Corner Eriends:*Wom- ien who are heavy and who would re- iduce their weight do not know which ito_select for a ;die}. - | You can. eat—=chirk ean steak, ‘lean fish, apples, lemons, consummes, skim milk, buttermilk, tea with lemon iblack coffee, oranges, watermelon, |eggs, lettuce, asparagus, beets, string ¢ 4 important ust as im- furnishings? | ¥ en. lean Dbeef, oysters, clams : & . heals eruptions Only those who have undergone them can’realize the mental and - physical. discomforts which many skin affections cause. The distress- ing appearance and the intolerable itching and burning too often make * life ‘really miserable. - Yet Resinol Ointment, aided by Resinol Soap, generally overcomes these troubles promptly, even if they are severe and long-established. The Resinol treatment stops itching siantly. Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap are sold by all droggists. Why don’t you % them? gentlemen treat those they are paid to serve and ‘the public has stood for them: but the Co. has run. the cars on the “Publio’ be d—ed” principle until they have no right to expect anything of the people who pay them to serve. Patrons are not objects of charity.: Tney pay the company to serve them. People do not pay the men, ‘and any favor from them is a kindness. The men get the same if no one traveis, but it is the com- pany who get the profit if people ride on the cars. Take a few of our local statioms, Attawaugan is the point where sev- eral villages take the cars for Dan- ielson or Putnam, and the dark, lone- ly shed is not safe for a woman, be- side heing filthy beyond telling, or was the last time I saw there. They say, “It can't be kept decent” Of course it can’t unjess some one is paid to. care for it. Take Danieclson:—I have waited there an hour in cold weather for a belated car with bundies and a coid, tired child. The store was “glad to have people come in and wait;” but not enough so as to provide a seat for a woman with a little child. Take . Moosup:—After the steam dépot closes carly in the evening I have waited on the platform in the dark and rain,—the only woman in a crowd of men. Do you want your daughter to wait there? Take Taftville:—I have stopped there in the day-time when I would rather have a girl wait in a public bar-room, for there was no protec- on from a drunken. filthy talking crowd who were not safe to leave a girl with. I have paid my fare to the city and back because 1 would not wait_there: and I have asked myself if other woman did the same, making it profitable to leave things indecent. As I understand business the pro- fits of the company comes from the 3 nd the profits pay the men re servants of the company), and furnish the waiting room for the comfort of the public; also the some profits pay the officers (who are servants of thé public), and furnish their officers for the comfort of the officers, and as I understand the situa- tion the people who travel are the ones who pay the bills. But a wom- an doesn’t understand business. ETTA BARBER. SEPTEMBER MEET OF CLUB NO. 2 TO BE OMITTED.

With best wishes. SCOTTIE. A" METHOD FOR VARYING MEALS. Dear Social Corner Sisters:—I have often wondered if any family has hit iupon our device of standardized meals. Briefly, it is this: On days when a roast (or hot meat) of any kind is served, have bread or biscuit only, with tomatoes or jam fruit for des- sert. No meat sauce or gravy. Onm the next day mo meat, but a full vege- table dinner, potatoes .or marearoni peas or lima or string beans, cab- bage or beets or carrots, etc. The meat gravy, if liked goes with these vegetables: 'desseft, a good hearty pudding with appetizing sauce. The third day serve cold meat from first roast or scraps of same, creamed on toast, nut roast or nut butter sand- wiches, with olives; dessert, a custard or cornstarch or sago pudding. The next three days of the week the same routine. On Sundays a fish dinner is given, or this may be put on Friday and Friday's vegetable meal on Sunday. Lunch consists of coups, or fried oysters. salads, sweets. Breakfasts are the meals, some things always croquettes fruits, no “relish™ served beans, turnips. gluten - bread, bage, carmzumgguflnwer. celery. corn. | tomatoes, o ers. onjoms. parsnips. radiskes, spinagh, squash. ncooka | cereals. i | _'This is not a complete list. !1 attempted have | to classify the various items.
