Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have just been reading the -anticle by S. E. D.. which reminds me of the old say- ing, “Life is made up of mistakes,” and perhaps, after all, they are not always mistakes or errors of judgment as much as we think. We often think that if we had only done the other thing from that which we did, it would have been so much better. But T was told once, and T believe it s true, that these things all £0 to make up the plan of life; that we can't do any different and havé to do just those things the same as the differ- ent colors are weven in a pattern of cloth, dark and light mixed together and one color helps to bring out the beauty of another. And why do €0 many spend time in looking fer faults in others, and then tell someeme elsé about what they have found out, or think they have, which is the most unkind thing of all? Our journey through this world is hard enough at best and we might far bétter try to smooth the pathway for our fellow travelers a little than to make it any rougher. I have remembered for years these lines which T once read: “I shall pass through' the world but once. Any good thing that before death I may do, or any kindness that I may show to any human being let me do i now. Tet me mot defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.” We will all of- us find plenty of chances for helping people along in some way. Wherever we may be and no mat- ter if it isn't returned in just the way we think it enght to be, it Wwill probably come back at some time and In some way. Anna MeNl: T was sorry to read that you have been so_sick. but very. glad you are improving. Do you remember meet- ing me four years ago when I was liv- ing in Willimantic. We met on the street occasionally, also at the Social Corner meetings at the hall. T hope to drift back te the enstern part of the state and be able to meet with the Sis-| very suecessful. I had experimented ‘with condensed milk for sugar in dough- nuts and cake some time ago, with fairly good results, but it is very trying to any- one who has always been in the habit of having good things to cook with to have to resort to so many substitutes and makeshifts. What has become of all the sugar wnyhow? It is more now than in wartime for then the noble pur- pose we were saving and going without for buoyed up our spirits and now We don’t even have the feeling that our de- privation is doing anyone else any good, I make a fairly good sauce of rnubarb by first scalding it with boiling water to take out the extreme sifarpmess, then covering with karo and cooking slowly in the oven for several hours. It is not as good as sugar, of course, but better than none. If Faith can get any sugar for any purpose, let alone canning, she is better off than we are out here, for it isn't to be had at any priee just'now. With thanks to the editor for the check of last month which was a sur- prise, and best wishes to all the sisters. TOLA. i MOCK MINCE PIE RECIPE. Dear Social Corneér Sisters: I wonder if I can't join your Corner too? I have read so many of the Social Corner helps and felt as though sometimes I would like to do my bit. but could not unless 1 asked to be admitted into the Corner. So here I come. It is 50 hard to get any- thing to make pies of nowadays. I went back to my good “old time” cook book and found a good recipe for Mock Mince Pie—One-half cup sugar { three-fourths cup cold water, one-fourth cup vinegar, three crackers, ome egg, one-half cup molasses, one-fourth cup butter, one cup raisins chopped or cut in pleces. Spices to suit taste,, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Don't cook. Makes two pies. I wonder if any of the Social Corner sisters could tell me what to do for a et kitty which has bladder trouble?

DAHLIAS AND ASTERS. Members of the Social Corner: Some E00d points were recently given about flowers. I wonder if many who have] dahlias understand that they should not| be planted with the tubers in great bunches. One who has given much time to them told 4 they should be separate and only one of a few tubers planted to- gether and then on their side rather than on end. It is well to plant them in holes about six inches deep, filling it about half full at first and then completing it as the plants grow. If you have had difficulty in growing asters the last few years, be sure to find & new place for the piants this season. Asters thrive best on fresh soil every] Year, especially that which has been in grass. When you set them out sprinkle wood ashes liberally over the ground and spade it in. If wood ashes are not avail- able get a little agricultural lime and dust the bed with that. Use no manure of any kind unless it is pulverized -sheep manure. When the plants are set out dust them with Bordeaux mixture. This may seem like complicated treatment, but it really involves but little work, and if you can have a full season of perfect flowers you will admit that they are worth all they, cos CENTURY PLANT. THE ASPARA SEASON. Social Corner Members: As long as fresh asparagus can be obtained it never seems possible for me to get too much. Do any of the others get as crazy ower it as I do? Served in any form, T never grow tired of it. but I am especially fond of it in a salad which T make v draining the fresh hoiled asparagus, after cooling it and pour over it a sauce made by mixing one teaspoon of salt, one-fourth teaspoon of paprika, a pineh of cayenne, tablespoon tarragon vinegar, two tablespoons malt vinegar and a half cup of olive oil. 1 | Beat these thoroughly till well blended and then add a tablespoon each of finely chopped olives, red pepper, cucumber, gherkin pickles and parsley. A simpler salad dressing is niee but not quite as? tasty. ’ i FRED'S WIFE. A NEW PUDDING, Dear Social Corner Sisters: A short time ago I was given the following recipe for a new kind of pudding which I find very nice ; it is Indian Tapioca Pudding: Soak one-third cup of tapioea in water for three hours, Scald a pint of milk, add two tablespoons Indian meal and the tapioca ; cook until transparent. Add one third cup of molasses, small piece of but- ter and a pinch of malt. Put in a pndding dish and turn one- third cup of cold milk on top. without stirring. Bake one hour, serving with | either whipped or plain cream. COUNTRY COUSIN. HIGH AND LOW PRICES Dear Editor of Social® Corner: 1 want to send_you a list of some of the prices in the year of 1 and 1868 as I Tead them and compare them with the price of things today, vean dl have heard people tell that the average wage was $1 a day and work from sun rise till | wun set. For my part I don't see how one lived as everv one gets such good wages now and still cn't live on them. | ' It appears that cotton was $1.54 n pound ; wheat $2.16; cattle §9.50 per hun- dred pounds; sugar 37c a Ib; hogs $15.60 ;butter 70c; flour $23.50 per bar- Tel; tea $2,10 per pound; calico 50c a yard; potatoes 35 a bushel; wool $1.70 a pound and then when they did tumble they tumbled fast as the same paper says that in the years of 1895, 1896, 1897, the prices were as follows: Fggs 17 1-2¢ | dozen; butter 10 cents Ih.; chicken ten cents 1b.; cows, $2-5250 per hundred Ibs.; hogs $2,50; potatoes 12 cents a bushel; wool 1 vents lp. Horses were soid from $5 to $25 apiece. The prices must have ben discouraging to the farm- er, but he could buy overalls for 35 cents a pair; suspenders for Sc; two shirts, 16c; shoes for $1.50 a pair; aldies’ shoes the best, §2; coffee for 20c a pound: itwenty pounds of granulated sugar for $1.00. A bag of flour for 85c. thought perhaps the sisters would like to read this comparison so I eopied it off. I often wonder what one would do mow if things came down like that, but we all know they can't, not as long as wages are 80 high and still going higher. With best wishes for the Corner. H E WHY HOLD BACK OUR WORDS OF % PRATSE? Dear Readers of The Corner: An inci- dent which had a lapse of years between Its beginning and ending has made me wonder why we hold back our words of praise until after our friends have left us. > A little doubt started a criticism ahout a good man Who had served. the people faithfully for a long time. From this lit- tle cloud, “no larger than a man's hand,” it grew to gigantic proportions, the un- just accusation and the lack of confidence of those whom he had looked upon as friends was a blow from which he never fully recovered. Several years after he had been called home, some staunch ©_ NORWICH their ‘own lite's history but ‘What would find some pages they would be glad to paste together, if by so doing they could forget some unworthy deed. And Why. do we allow ourselves to repeat gossip? We all do it, not always in a malicious spirit, but from the habit of passing on any bit of news that we hear, a failing most of us seem born with. 1f we could only practice the following lines, by an unknown suthor, how much suffering could be averted: If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd. A leader of men, marching fearless and proud, And you know of a tale whose mere tell- ing_aloud ‘Would cause his proud head to in an- guish be bowed, It's a pretty good plan to forget it. you know of a skeleton hidden away Llf:'u closet, and guarded, and kept from the day In the dark; and whose showing, whose sudden display, Would eause grief and sorrow and life- long dismay, ?

Life is short, so if we like and approve of our friends, why not let them know it? We won't be sorry later on; a word of praise goes a long way When one is de- pressed or discouraged.

SEEING THE RIGHTS OF NEW LONDON. Dear Cornerites: I was very !much in- terested in Deyette's description of the May meeting at the Buckingham Me- morial, and’ only wish I could have been there. I wonder if the June meet will be there? 1 should like to know Dolorges. 1 sent you a feather, and block, as you requested for a quilt. I did not know your address so sent it in the edi- tor's care and was quite surprised to see by last week's paper he had asked for your address for Eomeone else who had also sent you a pattern. Business is lively over at the state pier now. 1 have a fine view of it from my window. One ship is d harging lin- seed on this side of the pier and two are loading flour bound for Poland. One went out last week with over 5,000 tons, all going to Poland. There has been one ship load of bananas and another on the way. It is very interesting to watch the traffic on the river now with all the ships coming and going. Four subma- rines were off here yesterday all at one time, but almost submerged, with only their periscopes above water. They ali came down. from the base The ferryboat Col. Ledyard has re- sumed her trips after being hauled out for paint and repairs. I suppose she is very proud of her new red dress.

The lights here are something grand en a fine night. I can see .from the base to the Groton Iron Works, a good part of Groton, the ships and pier, as well as both bridges. There are over 300 men working at thé pier now, and more wanted. 1 had a nice long call from Aunt Hes- ter, quite recently. She has moved to Ansonia, and writes under another pen- name now, but I am forbidden fto tell what it is. When I say I was surprised at .the editor's not having the names and ad- dresses of all the writers, it was because I had been told the writer's full name must always be sent in with the pen- name. or the letters would not be pub- lished. A part of this letter Is for the bemefit of those who do not see the New Leondon papers §o' they can see what is being done in the little city by the sea.

WAYS TO REMOVE RUST STAINS Dear Social Corner Friends: One of the commonest kinds of stains found on ‘our white clothing, and housé linen is that of iron rust. It may have been caused by a pin, left carelessly in a garment when it was sent to the laundry or the boiler may have been rusty, or the wire on which the clotes are hung may be rusty cx clothespins with rusted wire may have been used. It saves time and energy to friend proposed a fitting tribute, and from the same place where he met his deteat the public were, invited to listen to the good things said about him. To some it seemed almost a mockery, as those Who were near and dear to him had joined him, and there were few. to whom these late Words of praisé would mean very much. Why do we expect per- fection in others? There are few who if_they turned backward the leaves in A e e RN 2 DR T, S e e i e St SR 3 S | clath.

Dear Social Corner F cold, cloudy days of May 1 fear may have had an influence for sadness in many homes and as the last of the menth is coming when our thoughts are circling _around Memorial Day and the Auties of that day the tendency of which is to sadden our hearts in some degree yet there are also influences connected with the day that should lead us to have joyful thoughts. that God has so merci- tully spared our lives and permitted us to have another opportunity of express- ing our gratitude and appreciation for the supreme sacrifice that soldiers of the Civil war made for the salvation of our beloved umion. Our hearts should be so filled with thankfulness to God for what he helped our soidier boys of ‘61 do for this ocountry that we should be glad to do all we can te show our appreciation of their devotion to their country. It is a joy to think that on this sacred day of beauty and memory while We are plac- ing our choice garlands upon the graves of those whose forms we were permitted to consign to the grave with tender care and Christian rites the Host of Heaven are keeping guard over the army of the junknown dead, enriching with their tears the verdure above the wayside sleepers, softening the breezes of the forest to a sweet requiem over the graves of the lonely and unmarked in its secret shades subduing the ocean's wave to a seng ef triumph and praise for the heroic brave who sank from duty to death in its waiting caress. The few bronze buttons of the Grand Army of the Republic now in evidence even on the thoroughfares of the large cities tell but too plainly the sad story of the rapid passing of the great host of mer from the land which their valor sanctified. To no one is this truth more painfuily apparent than to the living fraction of those who have been spared vet a little while longer ere they, too, will answer the last roll call here to join their, comrades in the Fternal Bivouac across’ the river. To this waiting rem- nant’ shall we not show our loving ap- preciation of the sacrifice they were all willing to- make by yearly decorating the graves of their dead comrades and by saluting the bronze button worn by the few living veterans of the Civil war? The younger class of the resent gene- ration do net appreciate the sentiment enshrined in the bromze button worn by the volunteer soldier of the Ci: war. A few of mature age still pay reverence to its wearer. A smile, a salute, the tender of a seat In a crowded car are small things in themselves, but they teem with a gratitude and reverence for the men ‘who saved America from dissolution. Their gentle courtesy opens a thankful feeling_in the heart of the man whese proudest title today to be called a sol- dier of Lincoln and whose richest Insig- nia of wealth is the bronze butfon he wears in his coat's lapel.
