Dear Cornerites: I am senfling in a few notes on the deveiopment of the baby. Every mother should kpow how the Average normal baby devblops, in order to compare it with the progess her. own n child is making. She showd, know when her baby should hold up jts head, stand, and talk, for if baby is far nd the aver probably there is ither some physical or mental = fault present. The average y_ should be wble o accomplish thesphthings: At 3 o 4 months, hold its Hdad erect, the tody being supported: at 4 months, at- tempt to reach for objects:. at .. or elgh months, sit aléne for % shdrt whils without support; at 9 or 10 wenths, to stand on feet, holding tojan object, as a chair; at 12 months, 'stand alk with 3id of mothers hand. tag few words as “papai” “bye- bye:” at 15 months, walk'Rioné: at two years, connect words intd: short sen-. tenees There is a great differeni@ - the time of walking of normal fnfants, some being able to do 8o at ten' months, and others not until eighteen imonths. It the baby is several months backward 7 Z¢ dAAALTIC ANTISEPTIC POWDER Jang up to dry. performing these acts, a physician Shoutd be sousulted, for unless there has been a prolonged sickness or the baby is very poorly. nourished, and cannot do these things at the required age, he prob- ably has a disease affecting the bony tissues, called “rickets” or is mental- Iy _backward. In connection with the develapment of th8 baby it is well to Know when teeth should come. The first teeth to appear are usually the two lower ones in front at 6 or 7 months of age. The baby should have at one year; § teeth, at one and one-half years, 12 teeth; at two and one-half years 20 teeth. Often healthy children d6 not cut their first teeth be- fore ten months of age, but delayed teething is q'ten due to rickets and it also occurs i babies Who are poorly nourished from birth, Tecthing often lowers a child’s resistance so that he catches cold easily or becomes suscept- ble to intestinal - diseases Thersfore, the very, warm days of summer e itk mixtires of botle fod Bables should be made about one-third weak- er_than ordinarily.

Sisters of The Soctal Corner: Those who are looking for a pretty way to fin- ish up the edge of a towel will be inter- ested in this design: Make a chain of the desired length, turn by adding five more chain stitches and double crocheting into the seventh stitch from the needle. Make a complete row of open meshes, chaining two | stitches, and double crochet into the third stitch from the previous crochet. Turn and_make another row of open meshes. The number of meshes must be divisible by eight. Last row—Fill five meshes with single crochet stitches; chain six and catch the last stitch into the last double crochey,of | the fourth mesh; turn and fill the lodp thus made with single crochet stitches. Fill two more meshes and chain six, catching the last stitch to the last pillar in the sixth mesh. Fill half of this mesh with single cro- chet stitches, chain eight stitches and catch the last stitch into the center of, the first loop, catch, turn and fill with | single crochet stitches, finishing the half | 160p and filling another mesh. Turn and crochet eight stitches and’ catch last | stitch nto the middle of last loop; chain cight and catch into center of loop con- necting the two small loops. Chain eight and catch into middle of first small | loop; chain eight and eateh into last pil- lar of third mesh. Turn and fill two loops and half of third loop with single cro- chet stitches. Chain eight and catch into middle of second loop, turn and fill with single erochet stitches, continuing until the row is finished. Hope all the members are making zood progress with their housecleaning if it isn't already finished. Best wishes to the Corner from | TESS. | WORKING UP BITS OF SOAT. Corner Members: I fave often won- dered what the members of the Corner do with the left-over bits of soap. With the piece of kitchen soap it is to be ex- pected. that you put them in the soap shaker and use them in washing es, but that is of course rather an expen- sive Way of using toilet soap. I have a better plan_than that. 1 save the left- over bits of soap until I have quite a | cupful;: thén I put them in a small| stewpan with a very little hot water and Betof the stove until the bits of soap have thoroughly dissolved in the boiling | water. I pour this into a square mold . andl let harden, and when it is thorough- | Iy cold it Is a very satisfactory cake of | soap. Sometimes, if 1 am going to shampoo my har the next day, 1 use more water with the soap—aquite 2 good @edl more—and when it cools it is a jelly instead of a solid bar of soap. I pour this jelly into a glass jar and use it for shampoo mixtare. It will keep satisfac- torily, and a little poured- on the scalp. then massaged in thoroughly, will pro- duce a thick lather and form an excel- Tent shampoo. Besides using the bits for soap jelly, T also flll one of the soap shakers and hang it by the bathtub instead of by the | kitchen sink. When the tub is fall of good warm water for a bath I plunge my soap shaker in and paddle it back and forth and around and around until the | bath water 15 a8 soapy as I want it. 1 like it much better than using soap on my bath eloth or sponge. NORMA. SHOULD HAVE CONTENTED SPIRIT. Members of the Social Corner: It is of course human nature, but isn't it queer— the way we_want things we haven't got? It we are mothers of families, we wish for more freedom. If we've no children, we envy the mothers. If we have one kind of work, we Wish We had another. 1 our household furnighings are of one va- riety or period, we think that some other style would be much ricer. We envy Mrs. A— her clothes, Mrs. B— her car, Mrs. C— her friends, Mrs. D— her ability lo'll‘:fl\ off work. % e most foolish thing of all, though, envy of anothers muccess, Tow mafi; ot us are guilty here? “If life had not| t thus and o With us " “if things had nof been against:” “if we only had | their ‘NI’ "—always some giant “if" in the way of our own endeavors. “It” is one of the very silliest excuses that haunt the mind. There's always an df” in the Wiy of anyone’s success. The very thing which has brought to others | what We crave is the conquering of the individual “it.” We cannot see it but. we can be very sure that there was one. Lacking the courage or the industry or the initiative to conguer onr own, whom stiouid” %6 blame but ourselves? contented spirit is one of life's great, est boons. Of+ course, we've beeng told that thefe is a divine discontent. There is; but this is not it That has t6 do with progress, this with decay. For thefe's nothing more deadening than enve: that stops with the envying. But if it leads vs to take up our own activities with & new vim and efficiency, then we've caught the divine spark that will fire our lives to achievement. S. E. D. POINTS ON TAILORING Social Cormerites: This s my first letter for some time as I have been so very busy, and always feel that I should not write unless I can lend -a helping hand. < I do weleome our ‘“new editor” if he can’be called new, as I think he has had the pléasure of correcting our mis- takes previous to this. I am sure we well try and keep him busy. I have been making tailor made suits, and it seems to be something that so many who sew do not understand that I will try and give you a little advice on_tailaring. First ' get your patterns, ‘then your cloth, and shrink your cloth, so that it will not making any difference how much you wet press it, for you have to do a hoge share of pressif to make your suit look well. { fuller, will be on top and the arm hole tieen the sheet, cover over and roil tight, let 1ié over night. The nexy ‘morning Coats seem to be the part that bothers most people. . They 'are lightly. canvas- sed nowadays. They usually have about six inches in width of canvas down Qhe fronts/and a 2 1-2 in¢h Btrip of cambric: at the lower edge. i "fhe canvas we use mow is soft and light weight, never stiff. Shrink. your canvas first. Dip it in quite _warm water let it stay five minutes, hang it, then press with a hot iron when it is half dry. Cut it exactly like the ‘coat fronts and the collar, then baste it to position. « In collar, canvas and ‘material are seamed separately at’the center back, each seam Is pressed oper, then the two arc basted together. The suit- I am making at present I am not lining the collar with canvas. One thing you must keep in .mind is! that you can’t be too careful about pre- liminaries in cutting. A “well cut col- lar is a little smaller tham the neck of the coat, and its edges must be_ stretched before it is put on It should be stretched just where the shoulder seam will meet it. About three-eighths of an inch of stretching on each. side is re- quired in small collars, and the. outer edge should be stretched ag well as the neck edge. If .the collar facing is too tight the ' collar will, roll up. A great many times an inexperienced scamstress will spread her collar flat when facing it, of course the edge. Will curl up. The following is the proper method of canvassing a coat. ' The collar - and fronts are canvassed then the collar is joined to the coat, the se§n being pressed open around the edge;:three-eighths of an inch of the canvas is trimmed off; then the edge of the material is turned over it, basted, pressed well, then stitch- ed. Then the facing is pintied over the fronts and the collar along the line of perforation for the roll; the collar is rolled over and held the way: it will be when the coat is on, then. the outer edge of the facing is fitted to the edge of the fronts and collar, turned in and basted closely, p=gssed well and finally stitched. Should you cut out the neck of your coat, it will make the collar stand away, So if your first fitting shows your coat is too low in the back piece it upe 1 always baste a piece of canvas or cambric around the arms eye or arms hole. - Your sleeve ‘at the top must not have fullness even if you have to shrink it out. To set a sleeve in hold the wrong side of the coat toward you and pin the sleeve in at the notches, at the. under- arm seam and at the top.of the sleeve, now turn the entire top of the sleeve out so that the “sleeve edge which Is cdge will be underneath ft. Then it will be easy to distribute the ' gather evenly. When the gleeve is stitched in, press the top of the sleeve over a firm, rounded cushion, moisten it, and usé a| hot irom, working the point of the iron in the direction. of the gathers, not across them. havinz shrinken the gathers | the sleeve is pressed. KITTY LOU SUNNY AND RY THOUGH CLE Social Corner Editor and Friends: This Is the season of the year when there is so much to do that we oftentimes over tax our strength and hinder our work by trying to do_too much in one day and thereby setiing so tired. that thé next day we do not feel able to do as much as we usually do. By crowding too much mto one day's time we get S0 tired that we do not get a good night's rest and that helps to irritate omr nerves and unfits us for the trials and annoyances of house cleaning - time. If we will only plan our work wisely and not undertake more than -we can comfortably perform and not get over- tired there is no need of the spring house cleaning time béing such a bug- bear as it often is in some places. It is not wise to begin until the Weather is warm enough so that no one is going to take eold while working in the dis- mantled rooms. And where there are smal ed people who are apt to the>old and the chilly adr -of a rainy day, it is very un- wise to take down the stoves until the weather has become warm enough so there is. no danger of discomfort from their absence. The busy housewife on Whose shoulders rests the responsibility of having the work move along smoothly with as little discomfort to the inmates of the home as possible, js in duty bound to. take time to rest whenever she feels the need of it So that she can best perform the duties calling her atten- tion. If machinery in use is not proper- 1y ‘cared for and lubricated it soon: fails | to work properly and more time, is lost { than if it had been attended wWhen it ought to have been, , Some times it seems as if the time cannot be spared to rest but we find that it is always best to heed the calls of nature, and not over t; fer afterwards by being nervous and irritable. Let us plan our work so that we may keep sunny and cheer- ful even in house cleaning time. AUNT MARY. WHAT I DID WITH A SIX POUND SHAN Social Corner Members: You will be interested to know what I did with a six pound shank.

Social Corner Sisters: In preparing a meal do not let soiled dishes or pots and pans ‘accumulate. “Wash up as you go along” is an excellent motto. - If there isn't time to wash and put things away, at least fill them with soapy water and let them soak. : Before washing, scrape all dishes thor- oughly and arrange in neat piles. They have to be sorted -before they are. put! away in_the cupboard, so Why not sort them before they are washed: 2 Put the flat silver to soak in a fard pail kept for that purpose, fill it Wwith hot, soapy water. Have @ large dish-draingr on the table. I the dishes are properly washed and Tinsed and then stood in the drainer, they will require no wiping. This is a great saving of toweling. Have a dishpan filled with boiling hot, soapy water. If there is no hot running | water Have a pan of clear boiling water | for_rinsing. E Have'a dish mop for washing dishies. Water that will permit of one's putting the hands ‘in the pan and handling a dish-cloth is not.quite hot enough to cleanse dishes properly. Wash the glasses first and dry them while they are hot with -a clean dry glass towel. While the glasses are being washed put a small pile of dishes to soak in the pan. Each dish should be washed, and rinsed separately and stood in the drainer. If the hot water is hot as it should be they will dry instantly. They | will ook bright and shiny, and will not | hive streaks such'as:are made by not; having the water hot enough and wiping with damp dish towel Pots and pans should be cleaned as soon as you get through using. You can fill them with hot, soapy water if you can’t washthem at once. Ordinarily it takes one about ‘as long to dry a dish as it does to wash it. When .all the china is dried by hand it means that almost twice as much time is spent every day over the dishes as Is really mecessary, and you are saving your washing and buying of djshtowels. I have a wire brush for washing pots and pams. It fits into all the corners and creases and allows one fo work with boiling water. ETHELYN.
