For several mornings the river has been a_sheet of ice from shore to shore, but the Nathan Hale and the C. V. boat makes a trail through it that can't close up during the day. Hoping Santa was as good to you all as heiwas to me I send you all a holiday greeting, thinking the old saying'a true one, “better late than never.” May this be a banner year for The 1 Corner, and a prosperous year for all, = DOM PEDRO. GOING TO LIVE WITH MOTHER. Dear Social Corner Editor: Here is another one who. has read all letters and replies, - ¢oncerning the: Wisdom of ‘engaged girl marrying a man ¥ho professes to love her—which I hope he does! However, the sgns point suspiclously. Going and living with mother is convenient. Mother amay heed the weekly salary! Should wifey be in need of any one thing she may have to resort to getting mother’s consent before being able to get.it!

Social Corner page, and take note of criticisms and complaints;, I am - thankful that my #00d ‘mother, who was thorough, as most . .old-fashioned. ~mothers are, taught me to be sure when sweeping a room that T did not feel satisfied unless T had swept “square corners.” Now-a-days, when T see-the care- less work of ‘the majority of work- lers, I rejoice that this “square cor- ner” principle has such a marked in- flyence in my Ilife. What is worth doing at.all is worth doing well, is an old saying which most of us have often heard. ~When I see a house-keeper or maid eare- lessly go over a room, sweeping “at” the dust which has . settled, T sigh, “There is a mortal who has never been taught the virtue of square cor- ners!” For the same indifferent, careless streik is pretty likely to run through everything such a person | does.
