Dear Sistérs of The'Corner: It is some time sinee I-have written to The Corner bizt, I.see: Péterkins' and Hubby's Chum seem: to-be somewhat interested in my answering Kitty! Lou’s roll .call. I seem to be. thewonly one who had not answered. ‘Peterkins: . You wished me to tell my idea of a popular-woman. .I think the mést popular.-woman is.a woeman who has courage. That characterizes the highest order of womanhood, the courage to speak the truth,’the: courage ‘to- be just, the éourage :to. be honest, the courage:to re- sist temptation, . the courage to do- one's duty first towards her. family and then towards her friends. ‘I.know it ‘is ‘a hémely, old adage that: “Honey.catches more than vinegar.” yet it possesses avgréat dea lof trith, even when applied to & woman, if she md‘u be popular at Nome or abroad. © You will find a:. mnur ,w«mn_ is in- variably- the outcome ‘of an unselfish per- son and a cheerful spirit.. There is only one sort of a weman.who is. sure.to.be populgr and enjoy : herself wherever she £oes or whatever. happens.-and: it does. not matter whether she'is old or. young, rich or poor, pretty or plain, her life .will never, be a.failure if she-firmly resolves to maké these happy { with “whom . she comes in contact, from' the lml-\l «child to:the elderly person. e willtake this popular lady en & vacation. ' Before starting on her trip she enjoys.getting ready with the home folks. She does not mind‘the’petty in- conveniences that are sure to arise, the occasional irritability of her companions, for tempers are easily ruffied when one is getting ready to go away.. The Japan- ese” havé ad ancient symbol of three monkeys sitting back to back, one with its . paws over its eyes, the second with its paws over its:ears and’the.third with its paws over its ~mouth. ‘Around_the pedstal bn which the animals are sitting runs the inscription: “I see no evil, I hear no evil. I speak no_evil” I thought it quite a wondérful symbol the first time I saw. it and I believe the person who greets the world with 2 'smile and -a cheery “word always finds ‘it " a much pleasanter place to live, for'she is bound to be popular at home‘and with associates algo. 1 want to welcome our. new editer. Thanks to Kitty Lbu for remembering me. Hubby’s Chum: I 'agree with you cén- cerning Kitty Lou's letters to. The Cor- ner, for she has helped to keep up the reputation”of-The ‘Corner. ~Her roll call was quite 2 schieme. ' HILLSIDE. ' THE LOVE OF COMPLAINING. Dear Sisters: Even. during this beauti- ful, spring weather there is heard more or fess complaining, and it shonld be renem- bered that chronic comp!aint i8 one of | thé worst maladies of ‘human nature. It afflicts different peodle in different ways There' are. those .who ocomplain: for- the sake of a “cauge” and can see mo good In aught: else. and there are. those’ who complain simply for the love of complain- | Ing—as far as anyene can judge. Nothing | Is ‘ever quite right, .no person ever quite {heq.. Blessings are always. quali- fied with a “but” | Now, comblaints are mumu neces- sary, and there must at times be:honest protests if we-are to remain henest. The pefson Yho at -all times-approves and emothers any ' tHought - contracy to' the popular - trend; is. ant to: be_a spineless sort of person, withont overmmeh influ- enge for either. good or ML - - : But”all complaints and protests have not this excuse. “Many of them eome from tack of knv’rledge and a’jumping at con- clusions. thers - come. from an' over- weening sense of our own Imelhgeneel and acumen. Still' more are.caused by ! tisunderstanding and foolish prejudice. Complaint is not. justified -~ uniess: - it comes from breadth’ of vision and wise foresight, Our grounds should not be those of hasty ‘@cision or consideration of our own selfish-interest. If something makes_us uncomfortable, even then we have no cause for grumbling -until ‘we have found out how it affects others, and whether or not it is possible fer com- plaint, to better it. We must be largeminded in our com- | plaining, or our abstaining. ./I1f we ‘only | could remember and practice ‘thie, what a’ volume’ of the most:common complaints would never be voiced ! Best regards to all the sisters. ' S E. MAKING SOTUPS.

RECOLLECTIONS, ' Dear Comneér Friends: The letter by Hettie Maria brings back my grandmoth- er so vividly I feel I must tell you about her. On the: lith of February, 1914; I left a little town in western Massachu- Betts in’ the ‘face: of a -blizzard. ~The night béfore the neighbers. gave me, a farewell send-off in' the .form of country dances. There were money musk, Old Jim - Crow, The -girl I left" behind, and many others that I can’t' remember. When, they left to go home they found nearty a foet of snow-had fallen and-the wind “was ' coming 'up.- In. ‘spite of the weather I was. determined to~start for home which I did under many difficul- ties. The kind people - where ‘I was boarding refusad- to' take ‘ms -so I tele~ phoned ‘to " the' villmge ‘seven ‘milég ‘down the mountaih’ for a livery team.. I Jeft early in the morming and got'a train at 5 o'clock that should have reached there .9.30. I.o:msonopu1p.m..ud home about 16, 1 found my. greénd- amnmmmnmtnvfim she leu us. She was 96 years old. We asked the doctor what was the matter and he said “Not a thing; she's simply e to pleces like the one-horse shay.” ou've no idea 'how ‘thanktul I've always feitthatt I.braved that storm and came home. - It was: four days before the mail- Who | man . could: get over the road after I left and.“all; telephone connections were sev- ered by the storm.’ . Hettie Maria: Some think it wonderful thaf you should write so well. Grandma used to_write one letter every year and the jast one she wrote was in the sum- #ier before -she' went and it wax eight m long a4 very legible. That sum- mer she walwed all alone through & woods -Toad to where her brother had lived a.mile away. We dld not miss her at first, but as soon as we did we took a horse. and went by road to where we ex- pected, to find her. She wanted to Stay there all night but as the place was then in the hands of strangers we induced her to go back with us. She spurned a chair that was brought out for her to help her get into the carriage. She was very in- dependent and would never - allow her- self to appear unable to help herself. She made all her own clothes and would sometimeés sit for hours trying to thread her, needles. THer hands shook quite a bit toward t'g.laet, but she would scldom give up and let us help her. One -thing I remember well of her was that she'd never look Into a glass and another that she refused to have her picture taken. We managed to get several spapshots of her, though I always felt gullty about it. Each spring she would zather enough mixed gréens for the famlly and every 50 often bake a loaf of brown bread and a molasses cake. She loved corn cake but she said T could make that better than she could and =0 would never make an- other,” I often.wish T could have real- Ized as much thén as I do now of how wonderful she was, but I was on in my teens afd had a lot to learn. I dop’t think you know me, though I have seen ‘you ‘at Lebanon grange hall 4nd’ was amazed .when. told the many birthdays. you'd seen. You didn't look te e to‘be much over seventy. For .y grandmother's sake and the Tove I had for her. T say God.bless and Keep you and all elderly people. DON'T WORRY. WALKING THROUGH. THE WOODS. "“Dear Social Corner Friends: How many of the sisters enjoy a walk through the ‘woods? At this time of the year I al- ways, get a-longing for the out of doors, 80 one afternoon last week I yielded to the. call and walking.through the open | fields came at last to the woods. After following a winding path I came to a small brook which I followed along look- ing. for cowslips, as.I am fohd of greens. There Wwere a féw, but for some' reason’ have died out, as a few years ago Lhe grew there in abundance. Going on still farther. 1 passed other brooks, com- ing at last in sight of ~a very large brook. As I started down the banks | toward. the brook I saw two beautiful bluebirds building a nest in an old birch tree.trunk. I turned a little aside to avoid frightening. them -and glansing down ‘at my feet saw a patch of arbutus with tis delicate pink and white blossoms. I sat right down to pick them and spied two other pafches, o had quite a bouqnet of this. fragrant flower. Reaching the brook, I saw somiething -green’ in the water which I thought might be a cow- slip 86" reached my hand in. but what. I picked was watercress. 1 watched the brovk & ‘while dancing and singing over the stones, then turned homeward, scar- ing the largest wild rabbit I ever saw as the went with leaps and bounds out of my sight. The next day a friend took me for a lovely, ride through Pachaug and Volun- town. .places new to me, but very pretty country. - I thought the Pachaug reser- voir a pretty sight and wondered if any Social- Corner ‘members livéd near it. As we were coming home a young deer came léaping over the hill ‘and ‘we. came up to it just as it reached the road. It was 80 frightened it'turned too quickly and fell to the =round. 1 thought its leg might | be ‘broken, but .in :an’ instant it was up-again, gave us one look and bounded- away so quickly our-eves could not follow it. T wished I might have had a pleture of ‘it. it was so. prétty, but I haye a icture.in my mind that will keep for a long time.

Dear Corner Sisters: There are reme- dies for ekin diseases of cats which show themselves by falling hair and raw spots and by constant scratching. Often this is due to fleas, which ¢leanliness and care drive, away, but sometimes it is due to| improper feeding, such as top much meat. Give it Biscuit broken up in’ its milk, and | gradually feed it on tabie scraps. such as meat, fish and vegetables, but never us potatoes. Twice a day, morning and night, are sufficient for feeding a full- grown-cat.. The morning meal should be tight. as cereal. cat biscuit, milk or soup. The evening meal should be heavy. If you would keep pissy healthy, keep the pans from which your cat eats and drinks as clean as your own plates. Also give him fresh, ‘clean water to drink and let him sleen in a well ventilated.eellar, not in an overheated, stuffy one. Let the cat out several times a day for exercise. Cats often catch cold, and the symp- toms ‘are the same as your own—a cough, s#neezing and a discharge from eyes and nose. © A teaspoonful of caster oil poured down the throat is good, or eatnip tea made by pouring beiling water over cat- nip leaves and allow to stand till cool. or any of the. valuable medicines soid at the. pet stores. Feed sick cats on broth administered every three hours, a little at a time and cold. of course. Have cold water where it can be readily reached, and a warm, soft place in which to lie—a dark spot is preferable. A cat with pneumonla has diffculty in ):;enlhlng and eannot lie down comfort- 1y. .. You should .eonsult a veterinarian _ for this;, in. the_meantime keep the cat fron drafts and fasten a warm piece of flannc over the chest. Since cats and, indeed,. all pets con carry disease, vou should see that any sick animal in your house is treated at| once. and you should, above all, keep your pets clean, well fed and in g00d health.
