Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Na- ture presents no picture so fascinating as the changeful imagery of the never- wearying sea. Its maglcal pictures ever stimulate or soothe those who can under- stand the pathos and who can feel the wondrous healing of the sea. Today In tender cadences it softly saresses the shore; tomorrow in anger 4t wrathfully piles its foamy waves in dus- ky heaps that pound and lash the broken shore like hissing demons. Over -the Jagged Tocks the sprays of foam wildly leap and madly swirl along the ridges of sand, leavi¥ig pools of eddying water that wrn again and mingle with the incoming | Ude. In days of sunshine the tossing waves ipped with foim as biue as the depths »f the sky above are mirrors of sparkling seauty, while in the gray days of storm he melancholy wastes dreary and color- ess beat the shors with a tuneless mo- a0tonous dirge and inournful wail. Far out on the trembling waters the ndulating frothy strips of foam shine ike silver bars, then disappear among he shadows of the sea. Sometimes the surling waves croon gently and sing pa- hetic melodies—the dirges of the deep— hen turning merrily chase one another iong the sandy reaches, frantically tum- bling and beating their way onwand. Yonder the birds of the sea—the sea- ls—dip down and skip along its sur- ace, 3 while lost in the seething billows, \gain swiftly rising and scaring aloft ind forever out of sight. Yet the glstening sea rolls on, unmind- lul of the weight sf ycars. Naught can mar the power of fts majest¥, nor change ts tides, nor rule its will; forever on it -olls, touching the shores of distant lands xhere stranger hearts and stranger ongues listen to its musle, always sing- ng the same wild strains, the beautifl, rague yearnings of the sea. And then the restless sea crushing in mighty grasp that which defies its and derisively mocking the frail ar- ifices that piow its waters, eloquently ‘urns its wrath into visions of hope and | yfully tossing the wayfarer on its waves, tenderly guides him me. And the vieidn of daybreak on the sea, | when the winsome light of the morning | treaks in glory over the gloomy sea, its rleaming bars flashing the light of a new fay, graduaily unfolding a new hope, *hile the shimmering mists heavy with he dews of the sea disappear and the s of the rising sun colors the waves with & erimson glory. Then nightfall on the sea, as silently it falls like the hushed romance of the day | hat is gone, kike cherished memories folded in the dreamland of the past, while | slowly the shadows gather and night falls on the sea. But across the billows of the moving vea we look forever to pierce its unknown wastes, and peering through the shifting mists until the darkness Yalis at last we reach the unknown harbor, our rest be- ond the sea.

She wishes me to thank the sisters who so kindly re- membered her with a shower of cards, and special returns to Balsam Fir for her thoughtful suggestion. She was much pleased to be remembered by £0 many iiving in her old home state. She just passed her 82d birthday and had a pleas- ant day with all relatives with her who live here. The four generations were represented and the day was ideal. Some useful gifts were received, with plenty of good eats and flowers in abundance to ‘bring cheer to her and good will. 1 also extend my heartfelt gratitude as her daughter, for it is sweet to be re- memered when we are 8o far along life's pathway. and so few of our old comrades Hett ‘With kind greetings to one and all, your sisters in the far west. ‘WILDWOOD and POTLATCH.. TREATING RUSTY SINKS AND ANTS Dear Editor and Soclal Corner Sisters: I have been interested .in the discussion abous rusty sinks as I have one that is used only in summer and it gets bad dur- ing the winter. I will tell you my way of frealing it. After washing dishes I take any hot soapy water and wash it thoroughly then pour a little keroscne (perhaps a tablespoonful) in it and rab it all over with that and reveat the process every day. It orly takes a few applications to make it right again. Did the sister who is triubled with ants every try oil of tar? I make a small swab and go round the edges of the rdufes &nc £l 4 YUy aroumd wher they get in with the oil of tar and have no more trouble. I used to have those enormous big black ones, but one summer I put some tansy leaves between the ! and screen, renewing’ them as they ed and rejoice to say I have never seen any since. Canterbury Bell wanted to know if I was a survivor of the Revolution, I will say I am “not only as old as the hills but also a daughter of Columbus” I'll try and give her an item of history she wants it she will g've me time to refresh my mem- ory by reading up on the subject. You will notice the quotation marks. I think ‘! that remark should be credited to Keziah Doolittle. I will confess it is not orig- inal. With one little preachment I wlil close. “If you can't say something keep silent.” I read that in my Sunday School paper last Sunday.

But many times between these yearly events there are times when the carpet will stand more drastic treat- ment than the usual sweeping. Try my method, which cannot be used for pile .carpets, but is highly successful with “art squares” and bedroom floor coverings. Once a month or so scrub the carpet, using a soft brush and carpet soap. There is no need to take the carpet up. It can be scrubbed in position and will soon dry. The process does mot hurt the car- pet in the least, and it draws out far more dirt than a broom and will brighten all the colors so that the carpet looks almost new. Do you know, too, that those pretty reversible rugs need not go to the clean- er when they are soiled? Get a pen- nyworth' of block ammonia (the liquid variety isn't strong enough) and clean them at home. Dissolve the ammonia in warm water and scrub both sldes of the rug with a soft brush dipped in this solution. Hang the rug, without wringing it, to dry in = strong wind, but out of the sun. Hope most of the sisters are through their cleaning by this time, though we have certainly been favored by cool weather this spring. PUSSY WILLOW. WORRY DOESN'T DO THE LEAST GOOD Dear Social Corner Friends. I thank the editor for vellew slip Our sister Celia Louise writes that “fret not” is good ad- vice, but asks “who follows it ” Jt is hard, sometimes not to worry and I think we arc all prone sometimes to b fear into the futmure. Often it is hazd to meet the probiems that come with the morning of each new day and it is nerve wracking not to know what the morrow may bring. Worrying is a fault of wue all and sometimes it is 2 very grave fault indeed, But we excuse it on many grounds— that we have so much trouble, that the way is hard to understand. that the rea- son for certain things is too chscure. We say that we can't bely worrying, that the strain and stress of existence is too se- vere to be met with a smile and a brave word! And vet every doubt is a doubt of the Father's goodness and judgment—. every worry, no matter how slight it is, is a.proof that we Co not trust Him enough. There are verses all through the Bible that ask us not to worry. You, friends of mine, who know the blessed Book so well nmeed scarcely be told any of them. But there are one or two that I can't help rfmembering at this moment. There is that assurance from the Psalms, which says, “Commmit thy | used without staining. or [ st bitterness and the anguish of an ed future. I have, known worry know it, but T also know thé tutility of it. If it helped, oh. that would be a dicerent matter, but it doesn’t, not even the tinfest bit; it just makes the way harder and less easy to follow. 5 Having faith is greater than hawing riches and being able to live without worry is the greatest blessing of alk Good luck to alk ¥ HORTENSE. CANNING BOASTED MEATS Dear Social Corner Sisters: An experi- ment in canning meat this year that is far ahead of the usual method of pack- ing:the meat in the cans raw and cooking it in the cans is to fill the large roaster with pork dredged with flour and. sea- soned with salt, pepper, sage and a bit of sugar. It was roasted until done then packed in the cans. There was a good bit of delicious brown gravy to add to each can. The meat was sterilized by cooking it in the cans about an hour and a half. Can chickens the e way, first roast- ing them and plackeg the meat and some drgssing in each jar. It cane ' very nicely chat way. Very often we get ready for company and then for some reason they are umable to come and we find " ourselves with. a large supoly of cooked meat. The problem of what to do with ft is readily solved by c--ming. Roasted chicken with dressing - deliclous addition to” the lunch hastily planned picnic, when the prep- aration of it from fresh killed chickens is out of the question. Bonie: You made a mistake. My birthday is next month, June seventh. Ohio is the birthplace of six presidents. The are: Ulysses S. Grant, Point Pleas- ant, O.; Rutherford B. Hayes, Delaware, Ohio; James A.

EXTERMINATING RED ANTS. Dear Sisters: Several havé asked for a method of exterminating red ants. I have never used it, but the United States Department of Agriculture vouches for this method: Make a syrup of ordinary cane sugar and water, rather thin, with the addi- tion of not over three-fourths of 1 per cent, of sodium arsenate. Saturate small sponges with the syrup and place them about where the ants are. They carry the mixture to thein nests and feed it to their young and queens, with the result that eventually the whole col- ony is destroyed. It should of course be kept away from food and children. 1 stin | If you want something new for your Sunday night supper try this: 1f fresh shrimp is not obtainable the canned variety will serve for this dish. Prepare the shrimps by picking the shells from them, and cut them in large pieces. Dissolve one and a half tablespoons of gelatine in one-fourth cup of cojl water, then add a pint of clear consomme of chicken broth, and bring to the boiling point. Season highly and strain through a cloth. Chill almost to the point of congealing, then pour into a wet mold, and set in a cold place to stiffen. Ar- range the shrimps in layers alternating with layers of sliced green olives in the mold, adding the jelly from time to time and permitting it to hardem before plac- Ing any more of the shrimps or_olives. en the mold is full, set it away to chill for several hours. Then turn out on a platter and border with nasturtium leavés or Wwith cress. MARY J. A SUGGESTION FOR THE CLUB MEETING, Dear Corner Friends and Editor: Greetings! What 2 nice time we had at the Buckingham Memorial on May 3d. After an absence of nine months I cer- tainly enjoyed every minute. What a large club No. 2 is getting to be, and it is some work for the hostess and helpers o0 serve so many people. 1 have a suggestion to make and would like tp have your opinions. It is that the helpers stay down at the side tables to dispose of the dishes. etc., and each per- on carry to the side table their plate, cup, etc., forming a line, and when they have delivered their dishes pass on to some other part of the room to avoid con- fusion at the end of the hall Where the work is going on. This little mite done by each would not be felt and it seems to me it would be quite a help to the hostess and her assistants. I have heard of this plan being used very successfully. What do you say if e try it some. time and see how . it works? Would. like to know what some of old standbys think, like Scottle, Calla Lily, Nellie Bly and others. June hostess: I'l be with you ff pos- sible. I sat beside you at dinner, remem- ber? Yours for the good of The Cofner. VALENTINE. MAKE THE MOST OF THE VERANDA. Dear Sisters of The Corner: Thers are those among you I know who' have comfortable verandas. Some are larger than others and some are better sit- uated but there is nothing more delight- ful to me than a nice veranda. Some of us make the most of them and -some of us I am afraid do not. Verandas should possess the comfort of a living room and still contain some- thing of the quality of out of doors. No longer is the porch the dumping ground for all the unwanted furniture of the house. Now it has, or should have, an Individuality all its own, and to this end’ furnishings should be chosen that are practical, decorative, and in key with the surroundings. Wicker and reed is generally foundation for all porch furnishing. " The closely woven reed has its good points, and many colors can be combined In its painting. Regulation- willow is inexpensive and con.es in a great variety of stock sizes, shapes and coloring. It should never be the 'y th cotton 1 most serviceable upholstry and pillows. ‘When a person gets her porch done to her taste it s no wonder she wishes the season was twice as long. mo; Golden Glow, who was all aglow with her powder and paint, getting ready to paint her living roim. The place seemed wery familiar to me, as I had lived very near there all my life, and now with the new veranda and new paint outside her home looks very beautiful. After resting with | her a while, I went on up the hill to ‘Wild Flowers and found her looking for 'me. Then we went to a place called Brookside, where we had a Ppicnic din- ner. We wished some of the other sisters might have been with us there as we sat beside the brook with = the little water wheel turning and made by the nephew of Mr. “Wild Flower.” I tell you it was a joliy place to go to. I think I shall wander out that way often this summer. As I started for home I was lucky enough to catch a ride, so in about fifteen minutes I was left at the foot of our street and so ended a perfect day. M A S waihegs$de Titw SUGGESTIONS FOR CLUB MEETINGS Dear Corner Sisters: I am going to try and write what my mind prompts. Wetona: I think I said something to you at Club No, 2's meeting about the lunch box. For some time my work has kept me much at home, and when I do get to the Corner meeting it has been late and about time for the dinner. But once the past winter I was one of the hostesses, and it is a lot of work. I for one say take a lunch box and pay five cents. That would pay for the hall and how much mor__‘*infe we would have for fancy work anu entertaininent. It has not been so I could stay to the entertainment for some time. Calla Lily: I think I Know what the word friend means and you are right about our mothers’ day. Yet there are a few true friends to- day and always will be. Sometimes we are told things that have been said about us that have never been said and it is done to make troudle. 1f we would only stop and think three times before losing our temper. When we are out of temper we say things and do things we would not at any other time.

I was so glad to be able to attend the last meeting. I do enjoy them for we do have such good times together. Calla Lily: I think you had rather a hard time getting a hoscess, I think we ought to be willing to take turns at it and not leave it for just onme to do, for then we are gach doing our duty in help- ing the meetings along. Ma Price: I was surprised to find out how old you are. You don’t look it. I had my daughter with me and she though: the meeting fina. Red Rose:+ Why don't you call up sometime 5 Glad to see’Grace out again. Serah Y: I suppose you stayed un- till the last. Sorry I could could not have stayed. For I see they had a nice time after I left. Don't you all feel glad that summer is on its way? I tell you I go in the warm weather every time I have a chance. dropping everything for 1 dom't go much in the winter. I think work is always with us, but warm weather is not, so 1 go. I think May and June are two of the necest months there are in the vear. T hope some of the sisters will send in recipes this summer for canning, for 1 like to have new® recipes. Has any of the sisters ever made sny of the new crocheted hats? If so would they send in how to make them? I guess I had bet- ter tring this letter to a close so there will be room for other letters. SLOW. CHELSEA'S INTERESTING EXPERIT- ENCE Dear Sisters of the Soclal Corner: Didn't we have an ideal day for our May meetnig! I am sure we all had a good time. As I met the different ones and talked to them thethought ran through my mind, how much more en- joyable a small city is compazed to a large one. s One noted writer has likened ohr hu- man lives to a river of floating logs. We drift aleng, coming in contact with each Guier for only enough time to touch one another, then float on down ¥the stream of life. I think that writer must have lived in o large city., It is cer- tainly true; for I remember while riding across RBrooklyn bridge one day while wisiting the big city, we were half way across and I, being somewhat doubtful asked as to a_direction. I asked the lady sitting néxt to me which car to take. She answered and before we parted she told me she used to live in Chicago. She compared the cities and people. When we landed on the New York side she was lost i the crowd and I went in an op- posite - dircetion. T've mever seen that lady since nor would I know her again if I should mcet her. But on'- twc weeks ago a nelghbor and mys 4 were at an auction sale, and a sale brings people from far and wide. One lady. who appeared to be quite friendly, stood quite close to us and be- fore long we were all laoghing and talking. She told us she lived in New York. We parted after the sale and all went our different ways. Wasn't T curprised on Weanesday, _our meetinz day, to see our new friend? I hadn‘t ever expected to see her again, and she is a Social Corner sister! How different from the big city! How much more our lives ovght to count for each other In a smailler community! We have a chance to know one another’'s troubles and joys: we hawe a chance to laugh with those who laugh and weep with those who weep,_ Sweet Pea: Hope you didn’t have to walk up the hill, but got the trolley Sun- day evening. 3B time. Best wishes to all, We'll be there to help next CHELSEA. e ALWAYS OUTWEIGH THE SOEROWS. Dear Editor of the Social Corner: As I sit this afternoon looking out from my window into the beauties of nature, with fruit trees in bloom and green grass, I am wondering if we really appreciate enough all the gifts bestowed upon us by the Heavenly Father. Then, too, since my illness, I have thought how appreciative one ought to be who has health and strength to en- Joy all these blessings. Many times I have been discouraged, JOYS enameling ; | and then I would think ¢f the many who were worse off than myself, perhaps suf- fering intense pain. So while musing on the subject, I have this conclusion, that although life is made up of joys and sorrows, the joys always outweigh the sorrows, and sur- round us on every hand: So many times I have been reminded of this dur- ing the last two months. Perhaps 1 would be wondering to my- self if I ever wonld be able to get out and enjoy a certain event again, or take the trip, planned for this summer. The blues e almost at hand when the door would open, and in came a friend with somé dainty, perhaps to cheer me up. Thus, I have been surprised and awakened from despair time and agaln by cards, flowers, fruit; dainty foods, or magazines. Many thanks to Bonfe and Savila for cards which expressed so much sympa- thy: But listen! The greatest surprise came Wednesday of last week, when a sun- shine box from the Social Corner was left with me. I send my most apprecia- tive thanks. I regretted so much that I could not attend the last meeting, but hope that I may gain strength to see all the sisters again in the good old Bucking- ham Memorial at some future date. With best wishes to all. BACHELOR GIRL. SUGAR GINGERBREAD Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: 1 have enjoyed the meetings with the Corner sisters since becoming a member, and I want to add my bit. I certainly agree with Wetona; she suggests a buf- tet lunch. T realized the work fell on the faithful few and I wonder if our luyal hostess knew at our last meeting with 300 more or less in attendance whether she was afoot or horseback, going or coming. To my mind the entertainment is grand if we could have more time to devote to musle, recitations, remarks, ete. T am sefding a recipe of Mrs. Dr. Soulw’s sugar ginger bread which I have made 45 years. Please try it and re- port.

I lost my appetite, felt tired all the time and had ne energy. It seemed to make no dif- ference if I ate supper or not, I would wake up mornings bloated with gas. “Tanlac with the Tanlac Vegetable Pills is certainly the best treatment going for people in such condition. I am no longer constipated, my ap- petite has come back, my sleep is sound and restful, and I wake up mornings feeling just fine. Tanlac is a world beater.” Tanlac is sold in Norwich by Na- tional Drug Stores Corp. and Taftville Pharmacy, and in Plainfield by F. L. Mercier; Charles R.
