Social Cormer Friends: Was glad. to read 2 letter from Ma of ?flo last Saturday.

He knew what bad toads were and had never got stuck on & bad road yet. And as he had driven thousands of miles in hiz “Caddy” be calls it, we wers not af lil to Vi ture forth wherever he might go. Roads were fine through Gr! 4 and Volun- town, but when we struck on to the Beach pond road—*0, Boy! We found It all it had been called and then gome.” ¥he road §o narrow in places we could not have passed a dog, unless he went Into the brush. We couldn't have turn- ed out for him. We found deep, deep ruts on one aide’ and d-w mud on the ther. But our “old g driver went through ruts and mud, up steep. short hills and steep long hills, I will admit I was ed and npervous aad was net so anxlous to see Beach pond as T had been for the last ten years, but at last we arrived at the place, The pond is a beautiful sight and much larger than I expected. The scen- ery Is very fine and seems to be an ideal place to gtay for a few weeks and rest and get close to nature. While admiring the view I tried to forget the road which led to Qll that beguty. However, we had travel through the same old ruts md mug, to get away from it, but we wi sati: fed—we had visited Beach po: Now wili someone tell me about the oad which leads to the “other side of the pond. We drove over it and no- ticed a very sandy road which led Into he woods. We wondered if there were bouses on that side. T noticed a mul white building down near, the _shor wmong the trees.

Dear Editor and Social Corner is- ers: I was much pleased and wvery nuch surprised to receive “that cheek.” Many thanks. As 1T am mother of three hters selween the ages of ten ang twenty, and secause of my age or dignity () Tam npposed to know something ahout Home Zwonomics, I am golng to say 3 few vords about the mother's part in the Jrl's vacation this summer. Our little malds and misses 1ave a rest from study and com o the schoal room, apd gould e better for them m?' nore or Jess partial, ] sr less sete, into the m)slero' ng? ‘The sooner they begi dght or ten years old to ind biseuit. to wash dishes, & tges. 1o sween xad d ‘, 0 to 3 number of|F Who{ prised to hear of that.

Tt dogsn't gun girls to take 3 measure q( teg?ml y concerning household far otherwise, it does them im- monlv od. Let them in succession have a week at a time, charge of the chamber work, the ng, the buying even for. the family, all of course under supervision, and their facultles of reason, perception, judgment, discrimination, and continuity will be more developed in one month of such training than in six months of commen schooling. We all know, who know anything at all of such matters, that often it is a great deal easier for mothers to do the work themselves than to teach yi girls to do it, but they will learn if they are taught: and if their own mothers haven't patience to teach them, who can be expected to? In girl club work much stress is laid upon training girls in buying all mate- rials used in fixing up their rooms, or whatever thelr club project may be. It is 3 pity that girls and boy: ate] not tayght more than they are about the prices, values and qualities of arti- cles, both of dlet and dress, in ordin- ary family use. With a little attention on the part of parents they mizht learn how judicious- ly /to select their own clothing, and to be able to tell what prices they should P3y, what qualities recommended one fabric above another, and of what ma- terials the various fabrics are made, and very much concerning thelr mode of manufacture. They can easily learn how to dlscern the difference hetween good meat, and bad, sugar of first and of inferior grade! Flour that will make good bread, good coal ‘and poor, and s of all other 'ar- ticles of common use with thelr prices. Knowledge of this sort imparféd as oc- casion serves, here a little and there a little, in famillar conversation, and illus- trated by reference to the objects under discussion, will proye of immense value to young people when, self-impelled or by outward decessity, launch out’ for themselves on the sea of life. Home is the place where all such branches are best taught, and no teacher should be 50 good in this department of instrue- tion as a girl’s own mother. GRAND JUROR. TEACHING OUB BOYS AND GIRLS Dear Editor gnd Corner Sisters: As Memorial day is near, the thought of its fl'!‘t meaning inspires me to write a ¢w words, although words cannot ex- press its great meaning to me. I feel aoenly the inflyence of the noble lives in whose memory it s being celebrat- ed. The influence and sacrifice of those men of true hearts, who had great prin- ciples ax:d noble purposes, who' did not, epunt ir own lives dear unto them- selves, but their desire to make thelr country safe, pure and. good and free; Was far greater than their lives. ‘Now shall their lives have been spent in vain? 1 would that every young fath- and mother, who have boys under their influence, teach them and instract them to be true and thoughtful for oth- ers. The Golden Rule can transform & nation if lived by each individual 1t is led the Golden' Rule because it is the best rule needed by every one. We should teach our boys and girls to be kind, to overcome evil with good. Some .| say, it one dogs am unkindness to an- er | other, the one injured must retaliate, he has got to stand up for his rights. In nine ‘cages out of ten if the one injured returns the act in kindness, he brings remorse to the injurer and there are no harsh words and unkind thoughts to be straightened out after. Only in case of Self defense is It necessary to stand up for one's rights. If the young lead this how much’ happier they Wwill be. As some one has already written, have them respect the teacher in school, showing them the teacher is trying. to help them. To obey rules, thay are for thelr own good and to all onme.can to benefit some one else. Then the ones nut are now small when grown will live in peace and good will. ‘I lmow it is sometimes difficult to have the young do just as we would have them but prayer and patience will win out, and keep them in the right way. I believe it is important to teach them to be truthful and to keep their word. Dolng so ourselves goes 2 long way to help them do so. Also show them that we care. The story i told of a young boy, 'in cllege that was or seemed to be very bad. The more he was pun- ished in different ways for breaking rules and belng disobedient apparently the worse he was. He was not that way at first but the principal was very oross and strict and one day while his class was out playing ball, he was kept in on account of bad behaviour. One of uu teachers, 3 kind little lady who had oticed his ncfiou of late, felt sorry to ue him going the way he wad, came In and sat near him while he was alome in the room. She had a long talk with him, telling him she was sorry to see bim shut in and failing with hig stud! He told her no one cared, what difference aid it make, She told him the principal's only child was serionsly il, the crisis was to be that night, and being np hts was 8 great straln on him and n& tly upset him. The boy was sur- She told him how she knew be could study and win out and that he had the making of 2 noble man. She trusted him to do better and d, “I know you will ‘not.fail me.” He sat for 2 long time In #%ep thought and did not know that any one cared. H was @ different boy after that. The prin- clpal told him soon after he was rather harsh, but sigkness In the family was largely responsible. The boy did win out and made good. 1 believe many times kindness will do more than we realize and in’ showing the young what the great men have done for our country, will inspire the boys and girls" to follow in their steps, and what they suffered ‘anfi FPought for us shall not have been done in vain.

Then shake the guilt (outdoors) carefully so as to get rid of superfluous dust. hen prepare a tub of warm water, sufficiently large to wash the quilt comfortably; add to it enough melted soap to pro a good lather and also !ufl)clfnt ammonia to - make - the water smell slightly. Plunge the quilt to this and wash the same as you would flannels. Squeeze and pound it well in the water, working it up and down and BOINg over every part. Take a second and even a third soapy water, repeating the process until the quilt seems quite clean. Then rinse in abundant supply of clear warm water until quite clear of soap. Pass the quilt through the wringing machine. It will reguire to be falded evenly and manipulated to a cer- tain degree, whil~ 1’y the tension of the wringer will have to be loosened : its fullest extcni, (uw. . 15 Quite Jmpos- sible to wring it by band.) Then shake the quilt, thoroughly and if this can be done by two people, and out of doors it will be more satisfactory. The dryln‘ must be ‘particularly attended to. The quilt must be shaken and rubbed from time to time to prevent the feathers forming into clots. Outside drying is of course the best, and I always wash mine when there is a good wind, and you want to keep it out of the sun The blowing about will keep the feathers soft. Even then I turn the quilt twice on the lines and rub It with my hands. When finished the quilt feels like new. ETHELYN. theyomae th tesh WHY WOREBY OVER WHAT WE CANNOT HELP. Dear Corner Sisters: I want to say to S. E. D. I don't think contentment is a lost gtate 'of mind. We should never want anything that we can’t get. . If we get what we don't want make the best of it and thank God it was no worse. Everyone should try to keep the nerves calm. What s the use of fret- ting? We should take things easy. Don't try to do more than one thing at @ time and keep sweet all the time or as much s0 as we can. It will come easler aftor a time. I was once very nerwous so I know what T am talking about. I found out it was wrong living and thinking. As.a man thinketh so fle is. 8o is a woman. If you sleep with your win- dows open winter and summer you won't get cold; you will have less colds. You will get up sweet and keep sweet all day. It's no use to worry over. what we can't help; I know what trouble is and it's hard work not to worry, but It only takes our strength so we can’t bare the trouble near so well. Cella Louise: If you kmew me you might not like me. ¥ you find me yau will have to run some, for I don't stay long in ome place. I still have on my litte whita cap. Marcella: You must be a happy wo- man with grape fruit every morning; also very healthy. T have no husband S0 cannot profit by all the good .advice.
