BUSY SPRING AND SUMMER, Dear Editor and Sigters: Now we have been ask»d a number of times to write more letters and fill our Corner page, but T sea evnry week there is room for a number of advertisements on it. T will do my best to crowd off onme of them this week, so here goes. We are fhrough having after a long , bad weather and many other things to keep us back. Now that we are through, I am in hopus to be able to go to more of our meetings. We have been very busy this spring and summer with the farm work, hens, chickens and straw- berries. It has kept Jake and I more than jumping and only for kiddo’s nim- ble steps\ we would have had longer hours than we did, and Speed, thats e boy, also helps as he gets the cows, brings in wood, carries water to the hens and chickens and does many other lit- tle chores. So you see we are all busy like every one else, even if it doesn”t amount fo much. Now some sister asked me what the daisy wine was good for? That I can- not tell; but as most all kinds of wine are strengthening, T suppose that is, too, More then that, I camnot say, only it has a different taste from any other that 1 know about. Hope some of the folks had a chance to make Some. Best wishes to all. MOUNTAIN VIEW. GREAT TIME AT BELL'S.

We said we would take our time. It was such a hot day we stopped under the shade of the old apple tree and wiped our brow befo'e we cantered up the hill. But here was luck for us. came along in Rer auto and took us in. We could not thank her enough and hope she wil the Corner so we can meet her again First thing 1 spled was a grand old oak tree—my nanesake. T rose up on my corns to see if T could see any Acorns.

I went in the house and was greeted by Canterbury Bell and daughter, and lots of sisters. What a zood time I did have. I got twelve new names in my book. I found Snowdrop and Snowflake and kept near them as I could, so I would not melt. We ate our dinner out under the trees and it was great. I sald I was having the time of my life. I heard we nad twenty-five loaves of cake. Well, I had five pieces of cake on my plate and a Marigold sitting on one side and a Dia- mond on the other side. it? “I was with a bunch of Lavender all day.

Men as a rule do not mean to be unkind, but they are often thoughtless. Hillside says that she has the best man In the whole wide world. That is a very broad statement. I for onme, do mnot think she has. He may be one of the best, speaking from my own experience. There i3 no one living but has faults, but husband and wife must bear and forbear if there is to be happiness in the home. It must be very hard I think for a wife to have to ask her husband for money every time she needs to wet anythinz. It weuld be very humillating to me. «When a man marries a woman he feels, or should feel, that he could trust her with everything and why not his pocketbook. Of course there are ex- ceptions. Some put all thelr husband’s carnings on dress, going to shows and other extravagances and never think of saving a few dollars for a rainy day.

Dear Soeial Corner Sisters: It was the wish of English that Kitty Lou would write on the subjeet that Mereia and Peterkins wrote on. In writing your let- ter you said “men are not angeis.” Let us have a little talk and you'll see women are no angels, yet we can think of se many good women and good men. Now, English, you have boys of youf own. You are young Yet, and have the opportunity to talk to your beys so they will make good husbands. That is where most of the trouble lies. It is in the home training. Boys are boys, men are beys grown ‘up, and Were they to have their own mother and sisters to be with them always they weuld always be nice boys. only to fall in love with them. I don't think mothers really feel that they want This | their son’s wife to suffer through them, but they do. Many 2 man whe will not stand by his job because parents have not taught them the sticktoitiveness. The mother might say to that mis- guided John: Now, you are to be mar- ried, you must be sure you are making enough to eare for her, and then again if you should die you haven't a cent of real income that Hetty could imherit. Your ‘salary weuld eease, Betty might have a little one, and not be able to earn her own living. You could tell this misguided John the day they were married he could have his life insured for her, and place ‘the in- surance papers in her hand. If a man can't afford to guard a wife’s future he should wait until he can. My boys are &0 dear to me I could not stand it to see them talkel about. A girl who is taught how to cook, take care of baby and leok after her own clothes as she should is most always a goed wife. Mind, I know there are always exceptiond. I am talk- ing about things in general. A boy is hurled into matrimony with a vague idea of its demands, its duties, its needs, its countless expenditures and sacrifices. But how tragically much is left to a man’'s later and costly learning. Seciety demands merely that he earn an ad quate salary before he dare ask a woman to become a partner in the most impo: tant business in the world. Dear English, why not think of yeur son getting married. He never has had any trouble. His meals always ready, good home cooking, always saying pleas. ant things, everyThing unhappy kept from his. ears, for fear brothet or sonny would be unhappy. His underclothes al- ways ready, his coat lining always sewed in, every spot kept off his clothes—he is immaculate. ’ Now imagine that same youth of yours (youth he'll always be to you, if he should live to be 50) getting married. If he gets a wife who has had a brother She she may be able to manage him. would say, Come on, John, and lead him to a niee dinner, and say “Leove, I know you tired,” and “No hubby, what PETERKINS ! do i k of my dinner?” ete. I know a gre y young wives who do try,| ALREADY PLANNIN for th e to me for help, and their e o SO0 husbands have appreciated my help to SEES. i that extent they have thanked me. If your husband finds fault with you, no doubt you are to blame. Keep off the street; it would be better for you to be doing your housework. I think these bake shons are too handy for young peo- ple. Their husbands living out of them, ean’t afford it, for it tears their stomachs to pieces.” Home-made bread is the bread to eat, Give Hih good gingerbread, home- made pies and a nice cozy dining reem to eat in. Tl tell the world, and every man will tell with me, when he comes home tired and you give him 2 good meal that is cooked as it should be, that he will say the same as my son-in-law says to me: “Well, ma, that was certainly a good dinner.” You know the old saying, the way to a man's heart is threugh his stomach, and when you stop te think that boy grown up has te work 313 days in the year to hold his job, I think we should help them what we ean—even it we have to call him *Honey love' to do it. All due respect to you, English, by the tone of your letter I would take a chance of getting along with your husband in preference to your own dear self. Now try my advice and your husband will aet like a boy before a holiday. His good humor will be so infectious that the whole family will be as full of happiness as a hive of bees. construetion on every action and you will be as merry as a ehild and as happy as an angel. And I want to add, before you know it, you might get an allowance, but if you didn't then I shomld ask for it, for you deserve it. Every wife should have an allowance. English, I don't suppose this letter is what you expected. Of all the essential cogs in the world’s great machine, the devoted wife is of extreme importance. Good cheer to every member. KITTY LOU. Men know so little of women— |good He will put the best | I am not saying that a divorce isn't a good thing in some cases, either; it de- ds o what the clircumstances are. g‘mllm one rule that is ironclad and fits every case. ‘We all know that men are not angels and who wants to live with an angel on this earth? I am sure I don't and it is my belief that an angel would have a mighty sad time trying to live wita meost of us, any of us In fact, for as I have seen women are just as obstinate and inconsistent les as men are and no doybt we malgp them very uncom- fortable sometimes. But do they go and publish our faults in the papers, and generally abuse us' Have ou ever known any of them to do it? d weaat a howl of wiyth and indignation would arise if they did. Therefore I say it isn't fair play, and it is neither kind nor charitable to blame the whole male sex indiscriminately for faults of some. There are just as many good men as women and just as many women as men, neither sex s all good or all bad. They are about evenly balanced, taking it all around and considering that the Social Corner was intended for* a pleasant and neighborly interchange of thoughts and opinions in- stead of a battle ground. Wouldn't it be well to change the subject and to talk “of different things, of ships and sealing wax and kings” or anything that ism't caleulatqll to stir up a “free for all” verbal fight as this seems in a falr way to do. Surely there must be some pleas- ant things left in the world to talk abouts We, who have good ihusbands are not go- ing to have them run down without a pro- test, we wouldn't be worth much as wives if we did. Those who haven't, have our sympathy, and perhaps they might bet- ter things somewhat if they tried hard. . IOLA WHAT PETERKINS SOUGHT Dear Cornerites: Greétings this hot July morning, 2 Dear Aunt Mehitable: were going up on the train with me Thursday morning. Do, you remember our trip two years ago, L"hen the engine gave out? Weil I am going to leave fiorwlch and shall not be back for some ime. I presume Iola and the other sisters will be glad I have left the Corner. I don't think Mercia or myself made any attack on married life. . It was my idea to see what the different sisters thought of a wife having an allowance, but this ends my writing on tle subject. I do not want to leave the impression that I dis- like the men. Not so, I am fond of them. I presume you think I am an old maid, grown sour, indolent, petty and irritable. The baotelor woman's pitfall is that of being selfish, hard, mannish and slovenly. Nature, it seems, intend- ed for man to act as a buffer between world and the woman, and when there is no buffer a woman not infrequently hides her recurrent heartache beneath a devil- may care exterior. So my dear sisters I ask you to take this into serious consid- eration and overlook anything I wrote as michief is easier to do than to undo. How I wish you Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I Tealize you must have a great time every time the Corner clubs meet. Instead of a Social Corner I have had a family corner at home. I had twelve to dinner. My mother and father are with me and one of the Cormer sisters, also. My father was the oldest of the party, being 86, and he is in very good health. We are going to have a similar time Dext Sunday at my mother's, so as to make it plasaent for the oldest one who cannet go very much, I received a pretty card on my birth- day and want to thank the sister very much. It was the only one I got, although I often thought it would be fine to be showered. I had quite a few useful pres- ents this year. I suppose all in the Corner who have children are beginning to think of getting them ready for school. I have begun to| make some school dresses for my three §ISTF5 ‘Orlo o ‘tham! has aone 4 shean two or three weeks with her grandma. My girls like middy suits to wear to school.

UNCLE SAM'S DAUGHTER SUGGEST SCHANGING THE SUBJECT Dear Social Corner Sisters: When I read in English's letter of her being “made as'a March hare” because some of the sisters don‘t agree with her and Mercia, I wondered if she remembers that Frankly Fifty and myself and all the other sisters have the same right to an opinion of their own and also to ex- press it as she has. I bave known women ‘before who were always rumning down men and abusing them, but never could seem to keep away from them. If I felt go bitterly toward them I should first leave them alone and think no more about them. Touohing the subject of an al- lowance it sounds too much like a hired housekeeper.
