Dear Corner Members: I haven’t writ- ter for quite a little while but I could not rvefrain from writing when 1 saw Jennie's letter concerning ‘“borrowing.” I think the borrowing girl or woman a public nuisance. But the ,worst of it, is she is 8o sweet about it, it is extremely difficult to refuse her. She manages to make the one Who lends her anything feel that to do so is to recelve.a favor in place of granting it. A great trial is to have to lend your kitchen utensils, especially cake tins, egg beater, or toast- er, corn porper, and then®there is 2 1it- tle of this or some of that. The other day I was much amused. A’ friend of mine. has lived out of townm, and I re- are marked with common wall stone also ‘without marks. The Bly swamp is on one side of this ridge of land and the Sweet swamps on the other. The natural features tend to give a loneliness to the location. THE LITTLE RIVER.

This s’ an exasperating habit. «But just the same she followed that habit. ‘What do you think of a woman who would break the seal of a letter that was sent to her maid, reading it, sealing it again and then giving it to the maid as if it had never been opened? Please ive me vour opinfon of that. Do you it just 2% it should be?. Send in {vour opinion, I would like know yours. Resting where deep pools darken, hasten.

There is no doubt that reasonable ex- planations might have been found for other happenings. if someone had been courageous enough to follow them up. The old Bly house was one story high, all thy partitions being sealed, both up- stairs and down. The outside doors were on the front and back, each being provided with a heavy fron kmocker.

The Blys were a family of considera- ble prominence in the community, They have a Revelutiopary war record. John Bly served under ‘six commands during this war. Other patriots in the Bly fam« fly_are also ‘mentioned. With my best wishes to all I am the SILENT STRANGER.

VIC: Your name has been listed among the Cormer mempers. WHIRLWIND: Your name has been dd e Social Corner dist. OR GIRL: Your name has been envolled as a Social Cormer mem- ber HISTORIAN forwarded been a member. But here I come with a few suggestions ‘which I hope may prove timely and of benefit to some 'of the readers. z Christmas is only a few weeks away. We are reminded of the approaching date by the younger members of the family, especially if from no .other-source, - for they are eagerly anticipating a visit from good old Santa. Phen if we, perchance, enter one of the biz- department stotes down: town, still again the . decorations and whole atmosphers bespeak the pre- hollday hurry and. preparation. But as I sit down apart from all-the noise and bustle attendant upon Santa’s annual arrival and visit, T wonder and ask if we “grownups” really gather -the true_meaning of Christmas ourselyes; and if the Christmas spirit of other days is being perpetuated in the lives and hearts of this present day generation? If not, then what can we do to revive and rekindle those embers which should burn with a living fire in our hearts tollay, sending its glow to those in need, as did the star which showed so long azo on the first Christmas. The Christmas season ‘should have a far deeper meaning than simmly the ex- change of gifts, or the giving of some ft just because we were remembered by that friend last year. We -should teach our boys and girls that Christmas has a grander and loftier meaning for cach of them, than just the visit of San- ta Claus (though he may bring -heaps of toys) or a dinner of-turkey and all that goeg to make a feast. All these blessings will be enjoved and appreciated more if the true Christmas spirit is a part of the children’s life ang ‘activity. Christmas is, and should be a most joyous and exultant season, for it was the day when Christ was born to live, work and belp men. There is then, no Letter as requested. ANOTHER COENER MEMBER., Dear Efitor of the_ Social Corner! e wanted to Join This Corner before but some how I have put it off and I surely have had some very pleas- t times when I have been to the club meetings, E The name “Socia) Corner” is well ap- plisd, for the sisters make it verv: p'eas- ant and soolable and after vou get back home you feel as if you have had a pectect day T am glad to have my name en- received and EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS OF BOYS AND GIRLS. Dear Corner Writers: It’ has been much easier to put off writing tlan to do it, but I must make a tardy acknowledg- ment of the yellow slip recelved some time ago, which was thoroughly appre- ciated, We shall greatly miss Tidy Addly. Only two Wweeks before her sudden death T called to see her and how I shall cher- ish the memory of that little visit. It seemed such a pleasure to her ‘o see sdmeone from her former home and with what pride she showed me around her pretty new Lome, and anxious for me to see the lovely view .from her windows of the Thames river with its numerous eraft, coming and going, and the ¢ity across the river. - When I took my leave her kindly smile and farewell sadly proved to be the last. Our sorrow and sympathy is extended to those that re- main. I wonder how many sisters attended the Eastern States Exposition at Spring- fleld? I saw a few there. Every minute ‘was well spent in seelng things of inter- est. There were small cottages fitted up as model homes with every convenience. There were demonstrations of many practical things, a8 making dress forms, hat trimminge, making maple products @s they do in Vermont, making and packing candy entirely by machinery, ha now id should lack this year.the cov- 507, sled. skates, do)l, warm coat, sweater and mittens and a Christmas tree or treat.

I think that which seemed to - be about the greatest achievement was“the education the boys and girls were getting in this progressive age, by the samples of their handicraft, It seemed simply wonderful to see the fine needlework; dresses, made and trimmed hats, cooking and the enor- mous stock and: variety of canned pro- ducts that were done by young girls. The boys in their line of--work were not he- hind with the chiseling 4n marble or de- signing miniature horses or watercraft or raising baby beef, fancy chickens or Bcoyes of other practheal accomplish- ments along other lines. 1 have heard much said lately, that teaching the girls to sew, plece bed- quilts, make rugs and the like, was a Jost art, they cared only for dress, beaus and the movies, but it is proved that all are not Mke that, as some real- ize they must fit" themseives for lfe's best opportunities, and it can best pe dons by constant| Fof instance, there are many . poor children in institutions ‘or private homes who might not have a real happs, Christ. mas. So our boy or girl might be glad to select & present for them. - A’ good idea is to aliow them to select a’pres- ent which they themselves ‘wonmld' be pleased with. Then we :may be- qulite sure some other child that age and size would be made happy with it. - Of course this might not be true in. every case, but it usually is a safe rule to follow. At the same time your own chfld has exercised his judgment and learned a val- uable lesson in finding out that we should live to help and bring happiness to oth- ers. Then, as the Salvation Army kettle or similar ways of contributing come to our notice, teach your child that sych opportunities are not for grown up peo- ple alone, but allow him to have a part in this kind of work as well. There may be some playmate or child who is not going to have any kind of a nice Christmas. Perhans your child wounld take unbounded comfort in preparing a collection of little gifts for such an un- fortunate one. ; Perhaps some old lady, not far away will have no one to cook her a good dinner on Christmas day. Then how de- lighted your child may be to carry such: No gift t elsc 18 an sacrifice to And lét us be sure in these high priced times, and with many out of work, that every child community gets plenty of good g f6od—meat, milk, fruit and ge givo.; only. re ome and appréciated gift at any _Next week fa- the week selected by the National Education, Association for pe- to visit scho the inventign bf machinety most en out of the louse A welc time. of the work was systematic 3 : Won't you send me your ad- dress?

I remember the Montgomery case. I was visitng in MAKING SACHETS FOR CHRISTMAS. Dear Corner Sisters: Most of you are probably busy Avith the needle at this time preparing for Christmas, and there is much that one can make that is bound wants, you know, but no one has w.vm make for themselves. Malke them in a number of sizes and shapes. For instance, there should be & long. one for the long drawer in which she keeps her blouses. A square one Wwould be nice: for her handkerchief case or the small drawer in which she keeps her gloves, tles and such trifies. ~ And then there is the little round case You can make for the top of her dressing table. In this she can keep her halrpins or pine and ornaments. A roll of card- board the size you want the case to be. makes the foundatfon, It can be pasted together. {'Wide, delicately colored’ silk ribbon, shirred on ‘either end and iightly filled with cotton, forms the puffy side. The shirred p! should extend just enough into the ihside to allow the lining of a contrasting color to cover it nicely. The cover of the case should be simply a flat piece of pasteboard sacheted and slightly padded and then covered with silk matching. the puffing. Then there is the yeil roll which can be made of ribbon, a long enough piece to extend the width of the widest veil Seam it, fill it roundly with cotton in which you generously sprinkle: sachet You can finish ® with smart little cords or leave enough of the ribbon at the ends to fringe prettily. If you hawe time, you might put a contrasting band on which you have em- broidered her initials right around the raiddle. Hope some of the other sisters will send in ideas for Christmas needlew: TESS. i it g e your article disobedient along these lines e g as I've been recently.

CRETIA THE Wonhl OF NATURE Dear Corper Sisters: The more ma- terialistic of us lose so much enjoyment ! If to us the waves are merely a sportin~ spot, the mountain only the possibility of a climbing jaunt. the woods simply a place to picnic, we lose half the enjoy- ment of the out of doors. Mother Nature has wonders apjenty for Gs to see and t0 search out. In her presence one need nev- er be at a loss for interest. Even the tiniest of bugs has a life his- tory.

But Wwhen our turn comes we truly sympa- thizé with experience. I agree with Primrose and the other sister (Just can’t recadl her name) that our letters might be more complete if somg real helpful item be included. AN young housekeepers are on the alert for ideas, either for their cooking and bak- ing, hints on sewing and easy practical devices for general domestic work. At the same time, thoge of us who have car- ried on these duties for many or less years can always find helps, t00. I look back to my ‘early days of housekeeping and how I felt averse £0 asking advice or ipformation from others, but would rather look over cook books and read ftems for helpfulness. I think now that ‘was not the best way, for I have since learned it s better to talk on these sub- jects with ome another, for you receive bettér understanding, This is not to Gispute the majority ef helpful sugges- tions we obtain from The Corner page. I have cut out many recipes from the columns. and pasted them into my cook book, on the fly leaves and inside of covers, where they do mot interfere with tho contents already there. I have great- ly enjoyed certain dishes, cakes and cookies, ete, which I have tried from The Corner sisters’ recommendations and found them very goed. To fulfill the text of my discourse, I will contribute the following recipes: Macarorl and Oyster Bake: Break into short pleces half a package of macaroni and bofl in salted water. Batter a pud- ding dish, put in a layer of macarond, then layer of oysters, dot with butter, pepper, salt and juice of onion. Add an- other layer of macaroni and another of oysters. Cover with thin layer of crumbs, @ot thickly with butter, dust with pep- per, salt, a teaspoon of sugar and add half cup of cream (or milk), Serye hot after baking a delicate brown. Cranfberry Shortcake: Sift a pint of flour with two teaspoons of baking pow:- @er and half cup of sugar. Work into. a heaping tablespoon of butter and add an egg beaten light with a cup of milk. Bake in shallow pan. SpMt while hot, spread Mberally with butter, and cover with cranberry sauce. Try a shortcake with Kind wishes to all. 8. E.

But I have moved since I met with you at Lebanon last summer and so vou see I have some excuse, but perhaps not enough so will try my best to be at ‘Wildmantic at the next mesting. 1 suppose you are all making gifts for Christmas. 1 have been doing some em- broidery and now I am knitting a sweater.

With best wishes, TWILIGHT HINTS FOR APRONS, LAUNDRY BAGS AND PIN CUBHIONS Dear Socfal Corner Sisters: There is an old and true saying ¢hat “step by step one goes far” and this may be well applied to the filling of gift boxes which we have come to look forward to as - indispensi- ble. It gives one such 2 comfortable feel- ing to know there is a store of pretty things ready for the giving when occasion arises—doesn't #t? A fancy aprno arises—doesn’t 1t? A fancy apron is always an acceptable gift, or the gingham ones can be made by using cross-stitch, rie-rac braid. Then there are several pretty bib effects, One nevér has too many of these little dress protectors -for personal use. I am sending directions for one that is odd in shape but very pretty made up of lawn trimmed with ricrac braid. 1 have just made one. It it is cut in three pieces, 50 remnants may be used in mak- ing, 18 oval in shape, sloped to & point at one end and the top cut straight, a width of five inchés. The pleces are 18 Inches ong and 12 in width at the middle of panel. The center piece has the edge turned back, and a~row of ricrac braid sewed on olose to the edge holds the braid nicely. The side panels are finished with the brafd and around the point up to where it joins the center piece, making three points to the boticm. The center panel overlays the two outside ones, sew- ing around the edge of which will be on the under side to middle panel. Then sew half way up on edge of middle nanel to form pockets. Sew on binding and long tie strings. \ In every bedroom, perhaps especially i the “guest chamber closet, there is a place for the individual laundry bag in which may be placed all the smaller pieces that need washing. Such articles help save a great deal of extra work for the home laundress when collecting the week's waehing. Even the little folks should have one, tHe prettier the better, because children. do so appreciate things that appeal to their semse of beauty. They will fake better care of their hand- kerchiefs, aprons apd so fdrth when they have nice things to do with.
