Dear 'Corner Folks: How many of you -know how to identify mushrooms? Dne- sixth of one of the poisonous mushrooms has caused death. It is therefore im- ossible te exert too much care in se- lécting ‘them "fo® food. A nevice weuld much better learn all the characteris- tics . of edible' and poisonous :nushromns ‘in gthe i€\ fromt an .expert befors at- tempting to gather ' them himself. It is not safe for a novice to gather im- maturs or buttolr mushrooms because it 1s much mere difficult to \determine their charaeteristios than those of the full grown. Edible Mushrooms. are thcse which have ¢! s i e, little ° plates which look Ilik. knife blades cn the un- dér surface of the top of tas mush- rooms, radiating outward from the stem like the spokes of a wheel. This is the Bpecies most frequently grown artifid\al- ly and sold in the markets. The top or cup of this mushroom is white, or of varying shades of brown and measures from-one and a half to three, or even four inches in diameter. It ig found in the latter part of August, in September and October, growing in clusters on pas- tures, fields and lawns. The gills are Pink or salmon -colored in -the newly ed specimens, but.as it grows old- afler it is picked, the gils turn urple, chestnut brown, or blaok. u the important part to remember, »iy the ftor all have white gills. The stem is solid and mot hollow, and there iS no bulbons enlargément at ‘the base of the stem surroundéd by’ siles or a coliar, as oeccurs in the fly amanita and other mous species.. Neither the cam- nor any, other mushroom should b. ‘eaten when over a day old since de- " composition sets in’ very quickly.

Dear Sisters of the Corner: You have probably all had your ‘blué’.days. Re. cently I heard an overburdened woman whose slight shoulders were trying to carry a burden that would have tried the strength of a strong man-say: ° just hate the continual optimist whe's always telling you to "be cheerful' when there's nothing to'be cheerful about.| People who go about contimually blurb- ing aboyt ‘hdp \ ess' don’t know what trouble is! - They make me: siek!” We've al] felt a bit that way at times, when our own burden - was pressing heavily.

AT TWICE TWENTY'S" % Dear Social Corner Sisters:’ I‘want to sympathize with every: one of 'you “who were not able to be at Twice Twenty’s the 27th. ' It ‘was one ‘of the most enjoy- able gatherings'I have ever attended and I fould so many sisters 1. had never met before I enjoyed becoming acquainted with. There were Be True, ’l'hwfla.. Nurse Perny, Candy Girl, One More No.'2, ,Vi- ola, ;Flower Lover, ‘ Five Willows, Curt, Last. Roée ‘of Summer, Mary Gusta, swhom 1 had nevér met before, every ‘one| of whom knew some one I also knew so we readily become acquainted. We-left Jewett City dt 9.19 -and at Plainfield were joined by Nixie and reach- ed Danielson on time bdnly”to find that the trolley only went to’the Connecticut Mills jin the forenoon but we found that we ‘conld get a ‘buss here for the rest of our trip’ whieh as we were joined herse by Smiles we proceeded to do and were the first’ to. arrive whereiwe. were ~warmly welcomed by Twice Twenty and her good man. Even the little brindle dog, waggéd his tail with joy. Soon other ‘hegan to arrive. One aute came frém a long dise tance with 6 sisters packed in‘on the twb seats, pretly wed saneezed, lnt still good natured. What 2 time we did ‘have mltmg un- til some of them begin to"throw out hints that Twice Twenty was keeping. matter whether it was old time or new that Twice Twenty was reefing. There were a couple dozen who weére ready and surely the tables were, and locked very' lovely with all the good things and the hel!llfllll centerpiece of which Prunela of the genius dedication and of the bright Social Corner color as were the outside decorations so none of us would fail to go to the right place. The ‘tables’ fairly ‘groaned ‘with the boiled cold ham, warm beef loaf, salads, cold slaw, varjous kinds:of sandwiches, plain bread, cookies, cake, Yankee dough- nuts, coffes, grape - juice, shrub and fruit. Then when all had sufficient, be- hold there was.found a baskec full of delicious buns of a Putnam sister’s own make. Of course every one had to sample them. Then came a sport program. First each had their fortune told ‘which was pleasing to all the company. Some of them were -very wonderful.” ;Then there were gfessing contests,” stories told, ete. etc. ,which made the time" ‘pass very quickly until we had to ‘turn our faces homeward with a hearty goodbye and thanks ito the host and hostess” for the good time they had given us.’ We were more ' fortunate on our trip home. We left Nixie at Plainfield and the rest of us reached Jewett Citv at 6. Long may the Social Corner .live and’ its eolors proudly wave. T should have mentioned that the 27th was one member's birthday. They. tried to give het the place of honor and place her on the throme at-dinner. How'd you enjoy it Olza. ., With best wishes for the Corner. DELIAH DEAL WHY REST IS NECESSARY. Dear Social Corner Sisters and Editor: Your physician will tell you that when- ever possible you ‘should lie down for a little rest each ray. To do so will take some of the load off of that faithful heart of yours-which keeps pumping away with- out céssation day and night. * Your phy- sician’ will explain when ‘sifting down as compared with 'standing’ you' save your heart nine beats a mirfute and that when you lie ‘down ytu take off an additienal six beats. So merely lying down means less pumping to be done and léss wear and tear on the bedy’s vital organ. \ It is thrift of time to take a few meo- ments each day “from_the activities of one’s ‘work d stretch our full length. Housewives and others whese work keeps them on their’ feet a great dexl sheuld sit’as pruch as possible. 3 Increased vitality and: longer lives will result from following these simple sug- gestions. * 1 am going to:try them.

USES FOR OLD PAPER A&znn Dear, Social, Cornier Sisters: I promis- ed one of the sisters I would write once 2 month if se would so_here I am again. 1 am thinking that many . who will read this ‘do their own dressmaking and buy the reliable paper patterns..

The paper is excellent for polishiag iDo —— GODD PRACTICAL ADVICE Dear Sisters of the Soclal Corner: This {deal weather, is just the kind for house o}unnm and we are apt to feel so ambitious; to hurry along this work, and forget we should do only a certain as our strength permits. Truly, our methods are easier than those of our mothers, and we can. profit by many ex- periences of former days. I find in look- ing back to my first years of housekeep- ing, the hints and suggestions given to me than by more experienced house- keepers- have .not been forgotten. They have proved of much helpfulness.to me. In referring to the house cleaning, we like to finish each day, if possible, all we can, but I have learned it is not wise to, crowd too much, for the following day will only be at a stand still. I often think of a friend and neigh— bor 1 had, in my earlier days, who oft- en said in this way, “111 do all I ca§ to- day and leave the rest for tomorrow, and if tomorrow does not come, then I fhall not need do it.” I have found that sug- gestion good practical advice. It does t mean in any way a shrikage or to ut oft” what you ean conveniently ac- ALL CUTS, LEAN PLA Pound 10c FRESH CUT HAMBURG . Pound-16c Shoulder Cuts Rmnps, .. Short Cut Legs complish tod: I have been interested in some of the sisters’ letters about clean- ing the pantry one shelf at a time, which is algo” the way that I do and it is-so much easier. The pantry is just as clean as by doing it the hardest way. In regard to rest and sleep: e must not deprive ourselves of these for it will not pay in the long run. From, my ex- perience I find I cannot rise early, werk steadily all day, mostly on my feet, then retire late at night and repeat that for any length of time. I like to see house work hustled along. I do not admiré the dragging process, but after all ambi- tion and circumstances must govern §ich condition. Wiltwyck: ' Thank ‘you for the Easter card. ‘T appreciated it. Hettie Maria: Glad you received so many cards and gifts, and I am' sure we all enjoy. your nice letters. Great Grandma: When is your birth day? Best wishes to all, - JENNIE SOUPS THAT CAN BE MADE QUICK- LY Sisters “of the = Social Corner: The housekeeper who has a gas or oil range in her kitchen may congrailate herself that she does not need to have coal car- ried up from the cellar and take out ashes—but she must ais> think rather re- gretfully of the advantage a coal range presents in cooking foods which require hours of simmering, ’ It costs so much to make .these things on any but'a coal range ! Soups' are one of these foods. Yet there are some soups which can be made in_a ‘réasomably short time. The follow- ing cream soups are of this kind: Potato Cream Soup—Put 6 boiled and pared potatoes through the food chop- per .if .they ate hard, left-over potatoes (mash them if freshly.boiled and add to them 1 quart of hot milk together with 1 chopped , onion and salt and p-goer to taste, Thicken with 1 tablespoon .f flour mixed o a paste in’'a little cold water, &nd yserve: after the soup has boiled up for & few. minutes. Cream of Celery ‘Soup—Use the recipe Eiven above with 1 bunch of celery( put throtigh the 'food chopper and cooked till soft) substituted for the boiled potatoes. Creamed Cabbage Soup—Use above re- cipe with 1 small head of cabbar~s (put through food chopper, then &¥l. till £oft) substituted for the boiled potatoes, and leaving out :the chopped . onion. Tomato Bisque—Strain .the juice from a quart can of tomatoes and let it come | to a- boiling point. Then add 1 heaping teaspoon. of soda, and, while it foams add 1-quart of hot milk| Thicken with cracker crumbs and_serve. Corn Soup—Mash ‘one pint canned corn thoroughly in a chopping bow), then beil it in one quart of milk for ten min- utes together with one small chopped on- fon and-a small lump of butter, thicken with one tablespoon of flour mixed to a paste with cold water, and add salt to taste. ‘Press through a" colander and serve. To make a frothy zoup out of any of these, thicken with the yoiks nf two egzs, mixed with one tablespoon of cream, instead of with the tivur. o MARS. | CIRCULAR EDGING. Members of the Social Corner: In your spare time when. not engaged in house- cleaning may be some of you, will be in- terested in a pretty bit of circular edg- ing which I have just learned. Make a chain the required length, turn and make a row of onen meshes. Turn and double crochet into the second dou- ble erochet, or the double crochet which finished the first mesh. Double crochet into the space made by this stitch (not into the mesh), chain 3 stitches and catch into the top of this double crochet stitch, Double crochet 3 times into this space, and make a picot on top of each double crochet stitch. Then without making any chain stitches double crochet into the double crochet stitch finishing the next mesh, and put 3 deuble crochet stitches with a picot on top of each into the space thus Ccn(hms until yeu have compvletely covered the row of meshes made cn the; chain, 3 This edge is a little too full to nse on a straight viece, but will finish a round yoke, a luncheon set. or asbestos pads. -1 think It a grand idea of Club No. 2;to swap needlework ideas, and wisned it was o I might attend.

I am only a new- comer but have read every page since it started, although I.don’t think I know more than two of the sisters, so I can imagine how interested all the older members of this large family must be that know “who's who.” Wetona: Have made your esrdiai for sour- stomach and think it is fine; am sending a recipe for dandelion wine, may- be you would like to try.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Well, I won- der what has become of all the sisters who were at the April meeting of Club No. 1?7 Why so quiet since? For my- 'self, I wish to thank the hostesses for the good dinner they served and the after- noon’s entertainment. The hostesses (Practical Polly, Eu- genia, Theoda, Nannie Sue, Dusty Miller and a little friend of hers, with Student as chairman) served dinner to about 60 of the sisters ‘and their friends, the long table and one short one being well filled. The usual goodies Were in evidence, with plenty of potato salad and hot baked beans. After the social hour spent in renew- ing old acquaintances and making new, and the usual fancywork (thank you, Debby, for bringing the collar for me to copy. I wonder if Lucille has hers made yet?) a number of readings and recita- tions: were given by Amy, Student, Buck- eve and Nannie Sue, and Little Sister told about Floradora, the sister who o recent- 1y passed away. The meeting for May 11 will be the last one in the hall for this spring. Hop- ing for a good day and evervbody able to be there. BETSY BOBBET. ANTICIPATING BIG TIME MAY 4. Dear Social Corner: 1 want to thank Wetona for the recipe I asked for. If I have good lick, I will treat some time. Glad you liked the devil cake. Papa's Boy: I made some of the ginger puffs and they are fine, only mine came out of the oven pancakes instead of drop. cakes. Guess 1 gave them too much room. A Cherisette: Where are you? Have not seen you at the Friday night meetings. I have a long hatpin. which I keep near my oven to try cake and things while baking. I buy those mothproof bags at the five and ten, to put winter hats and small things in and hang in a spare closet. Tula: Wake up and take notice. Hope to see you all May 4th. Hope Calla Lily, Scottie and the other workers_will have a nice time being zuests. ‘They deserve a rest. Den't for- get the crocheting.' Maybe Calla Lily and I will show you a new step. Glad to see new names and hope they will come and write in our books. I think Stillwater is £oing to have Something nice for the social hour. Hope Hiawatha will bring some music. - CELIA LOUISE. MAKING TSE OF OARDS AND PIC- TURES. Dear Corner Sisters: A sister wished to know if we ever used cur old postals. I will tell you how I have done mine. I paste the backs of two old. postals to- gether, make a hole in the top of each and form books. They are very attractive and children will look at them for hours. I tie these books, with 2 red ribbon. I aléo cut out a number of pretty pictures, cut the postals from the covers, and that makes an interesting book for the little ones. 1 cut out fancy pictures from news- papers, make a small book and paste these pictures in and wrile a little story about them that will keep children quiet a long time. I-have also given the Salvation Army some for their poor children. A very neat looking set is to take flowers of all kinds and paste them on a plece of plain white paper. On the back of these you tie a ribbon. Place six in & set. 1 have taken a large picture of & rdoster, pasted it on a plece of cardboard | and let drv. Then I make a puzzle pic- 1 have also pasted the small fun- ny pictures on screens to entertain my boys. For children between 3 and 6 years of age, this is a fine amusement: Take a plece of cardboard and draw an animal, then give the child a large safety pin and et him outline animal, by making pin- holes around it. Then give the child a threaded large needle with some colored thread, and let him sew in and out of the holes until it is finished. This will keep children amused for hours at a time. A child obliged to lie in bed for an un- easy length of time will find great inter- est and contentment in a _home-made merry-go-round suspended by a string from the ceiling o that it can hang down ower the hed, low emough to enable the paper dolls, which she has eut.out, upen | the nest after hatcHing out’ thres? ] i, aijaching them with a pin. Horses, may e cut out. The merry-go-round. may be made by placing a round.box.cover down ‘over a large piece of-round card- board, scwing it on, and suspending it-by a string run through the center. This action, completely absdrbs ehildren's thoughts und Amuses them for hours. To make a wagon for a child; use a four-corniercd box, to which paste ‘bpard wheels should be attachied- by Wwooden axles. "A sinall box inside the wagon does for a seat. Cut out a horse from paste- board, stand him in. front of the wagon, then cut the dashboard dewn a little ‘way. Put Dobbin’s tail into this and if his feet touch level the rig is ‘complete. An attractive _tumbler made by dee- orating it with pictures cut from maga- zines—pretty roses, and also pletures of cats and dogs—won a little girl'who was #1CK 10 drink her broth and milk she had refused. The above method proved suc- cessful and she drank through a stick of macaroni, and drank it all without pro- test, thus receiving the necessary’ neur- ishment without being disciplined. KITTY LOU. SOME TIINGS WORTH ENOWING. Dear Corner Friends: I don't think you haye ever scen these suggestions th Pprist. I never have: ‘When rolling out piecrust, use a ‘nice plece of celan paper to roll your erust om, then destroy the paper. You can very easily clean a felt hat by using a little saltpeter dissolved with water, then add a little ammonia. Take a nice piece of Writing paper and ‘when you take your baked potatoes out of the oven and want them to keep hot, wrap them in the paper and then put them in a covered pan; they will keep hot for several hours. . Raw turnip is good for a frozen finger, a nose, etc. “Vinagre a quarte veloure” is a prepa- ration that is used to keep from having an infectious disease; it has been tried. You can wash your hands’and facd with it. Boracic |acid and ma gsia is one of the best things for a mau to use after he has shaved. I know that onion will cure a snake bite (raw bruised) except the death adder. In fixing malted milk, add one teaspoon of cocoa to the tablespooi? of malted ‘milk dry; then add hot milk. When eggs are high I fix my coffee for three mornings. Stir egg up with . cof- fee, then put a scant tablespoon te each person and one for the coffee. Then the remainder put in a cup and cover over until the next morning. You will find it Just as good. ) How I make my coffee: It 'may net be any better than your way, but I ‘pour boiling water on the coffee and “with ene egg stirred let it come to a bell; remove at once; it is fine. A table cover to be thrown ever table after it is set is best made of calico. _ To keep cutlery from rust, wipe dry and wrap in coarse brown paper. To make rose extract. put ome eumee of red rose leaves in one pint of deedor- ized aleohol ; press out the liquid from the |leaves and add it to one-half dram of attar of roses. To test kerosene, place a = tity in a teacup and if it does nnt easily ignite when brought in contac. with a lighted mateh it is not good. Use a cloth to wash potatoes. Tie & strip of musiin around the end of a stick and use to ‘grease bread pans, eto. M quan- BETTY BROWN. PLANNING FORE A MAY BASKET. Dear Social Corner Sisters: How are you ail this lovely morning?
