Dear Folks: There is a Happy Land, far, far away, where saints in glory stand, bright, bright, as day. This was the first song, 4s a child, 1 ever remem- ber hearing, and its words and melody have had 2 deep influence over my life, and now when I hear the old song that mother first taught me, I think of her, of the old home and heaven. The Happyland, however, which I have in mind now and visited the other 15 a place where nature has done much to make it attractive, and beautiful, the shaded grove of large oak trees, the expanse Of water where the tide ebbs and flows, and the wonderful salt water breeze, that exceeds that on the beaches on the Sound, miles farther Happyland is situated not a great ways from Norwich, and the scen- ic beauty there is wonderful. There is a spacious pavilion there, and 1 had a good visit with the genial proprietor with whom I am a little acquainted. If you are tired and wish to spend a rest- ful hour, take a short trip down to Hap- pyland, near the long 'bridge that crosses Poquetanuck cove, on the Mili- tary highway. Mandy: I enjoyed your letters, The Ofd Family Bible, The Ford Automobile, and others. I know of some who do not like it, but for breakfast with fresh boiled potatoes, I and my little granddaughter are very fond of “Block Island turkey.” Shg alls it just plain “codfiss.” Would someone please teil how they like to pre- pare this appetizing dish? JIM. CANNING GREEN PEAS. Déar Cornér Members This is the sed- £on of the year when we must begin to preserve the abundance that it may be available in the winter months. It may Inot be just the same as picking right from the garden but it is next to it. I always try to can green peas. 1t you have your own vegetable gar- den the problem of getting green peas perfectly fresh for canning is mini- mized. But if you must rely on the city markets the difficulty is very real. Wash pods well. Shell. ~Be careful not to bruise the peas. Put enough peas © _one jar in a cheesecloth square. Dip in hoiling water and let boil five minutes. Or place in a colander over bolling water and steam 10 minutes. Plunge at once into cold water and ilift out immediately. Plunge again into another pan of fresh cold water and lift out jmmediately, Drain. Pack In sterilized jars to within one inch from top ot jar. Add oné-half teaspoon salt to a pint can and one-half teaspoon sugar. Fill s to within one-fourth inch from thehtop with bolling water. Fit on_rubber and half sedl. To halt seal tighten cover with thumb and little fin- ger as tight as possible. To. half seal spring top glass jar— £ cover and pull over top bail, but do°not clamp down the bail ovet the far. Put jars in canner. The water in the canner should, cover the jars by two inches. When water beging' to boil after filllng canner with the jars boil for four hotirs - Remove jars from canner and finish sedling. Turn upside down to test for leakage. Cool as quickly as ossible.

Dear Social Corher: It pleasés & mah willing to bestow it on women gratis. It plédses a man for a woman to depend én him,. to show him hér new gown or hats. and to ask him if he likes them. A man likes his wife or sweetheart to recognize lover in good tempér, ask his advige. Tenderness is another thing that pleases 4 man, and the man who does not appre- ciate tenderness from a woman has never vet existed. He may dislike a superabun- dance of atténtion from thé fair sex but he will appreciaté ohe woman's tendee- ness and care. when he is married he has still other trifles to forego. It is for the pleasurs and joy of having a wife and home of his own ‘that he {8 more than proud of his partnership. Everything works so Sriooth- ly that he is happy—very happy ; and stiil there comes to him a special biT of sweet- ness when his wife puts her arms around his neck arid whispers in his ear that she lovés him—loves him go very muech. No girl could wait the adoration of her lover with greater joy than a man loves the tenderness showered upon him by a loving wife. But just as some men grow lax in their attentions to their young wives, 8o also many young wives forget to kéep ever burning the furnace of their love upon the domestic héarth. Do not forget this, my young married readers, do not let a day go by without telling hubby how much you love him. Then fou will not be looking for a divorce later. Believe me and try it. ETHELYN. £00T COMFORT. Soclal Corner Sisters: There are a few péople who do not knbw some time in the year where the shog pinches, and it if hacdly too much to say that in nearly every casé this is vpreventable, and is produced by ignorance. Bathing the feet daily, cutting the nails and going now and then to the chiropo-! dist prevent many ills, but there is more to be done in crier to promote the good appearance of {4 Téet and their abeolute comfort.

T told-him the situation was & very éomplicdted one bu T thought by getting shoes to it him and looking after his feet with determine perseverance we fhight get them well; so ?e started with redoubled work on his eet, suré to suetesd-in Mis undertakings. .

He continued pretty pérsistently 1ocking after his faet, and after going to business, where he had to b‘e on“hl! Iteu, his ankles pained him continually. I suggested hig buying three pairs ot #Hoés, and kood St B:m Shoes. He bought 6n8 paie of shoes for work which cost only $6 and wore them a week, but his anklés ached. But I held on with de- termined perseverance and sald to him: “Now if you will gét you t¥o gbod pairs of shoés for work, and Keep. these you have bought for Sunday. you will bé sure to hAve something that will glve yo\x aid.” I also sugeested shoe tress to keep in thé shoes.

I MARRIED AGAIN. Dear Cornerites: I read with no little interest the letter of Father Time. There was much in it that many could profit from. ‘There are many ‘women who, viewing their past married life, make little resolutions about what they would and would not do jf they married for a second time. I sometimes do the same, never, however, from the standpoint of another husband, but of another home. Marriage is the beginning of a home to most women, and for me.it was a de- lightful period of furnishing, building u& and | collecting household goods afound me. They grew with the years until I am now the proud, but unhappy, DOBsaEsor of a considerable amount of personal property. If I married again 1 should not repeat that delight. I would fhrhlsh a very small flat with the utmost simplicity: I would steel my heart against the lure of becoming fond of my beds, tables and chairs, and I should bar_all pieces of beautiful china and brass which would rénd my heart to lose once I possessed them. Possessions lead to anxlety and per- petual expense. The bappy folk who have a “flatlet” full of “arty” furniture, which .can be made again if it is sold or lost, ate as free as the wind, and can roam and live where they please. My life is made a thing of discontent and strain at the anchorage which my home has made tor me. Offers to go abroad are turned down because it would be a “terrible expense to move, and it would break my heart to part with the oak, ete.” When an opportunity arises to let ourthome at a profit, we refuse it becatise strange hands handling our pre- cious china 1ls us with terror. % No, if I married again, or rather, set up housekeeping all over again, I should my home up in the way I intended it to go—and that is a place of rest and com- fort, but with no false gods or love ex- pended upon inanimate things. Perhaps I might l16se some of the joy of life, but on the otheér hand, there is nothing lika freedom, and you eanmot be free with two pantechnicons of furniture. a par- rot, a dog—to say nothing of a husband. i CENTURY PLANT. HOW TO GET RID OF BIG BLACK ANTS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: It {8 a am still interested in the letters. Betsey Bobbitt: I was sorry mnot to have sedn _you Sunday with your daughter. We were much interest- ed in your letter telling about the Quaker meeting house. I wonder just where it was. No one in this part of Lebanon setems to know anything about it. One of the sisters asked how to get rid of big-'black ants. Get a little tar- taremetic at a drug store and mix it with sugar and water in little shallow dishes, Set them- where the ants run dnd they will disappear. The dose i§ poison so do not use it if there is dan- ger of anyone tasting of it. A good ant-trap that I discovered by accident i& a frosting sugar box, The ants run in but cannot climb out, or at least they did not climb out. Perhaps they liked to stay. Rosemary: 1 enjoyed zeting you And your home and hope you can take a ride own this way some time. ' We made £ood time coming home and had a very pleasant trip. Best wishes to al the sisters. Y. Z. ' GUARDING THE YOUNG FOLKS Dear HEditor and Corner Sisters: 1 agres with Samantha there {s much need- less waste and another thing is careless- ness, and thoughtlessness. T know many accidents cannot be avolded but many times if we would be nore careful and stop, look and listen how mueh _time would be saved and how many inuries would be prevented. 1 Am glad to see the railroads set a good example with their careful crossing éampaign, with the pictures to {llustfate the danger, being posted. 2 A noted speaker recently told - of the startling fact of 56 few out of & hundred persons who reach the aflotted number of three score years and tén. I know he sald they all have certdin diseases but through the excessive use of alcohol, to- bacco, coffee, tea and so 6n, weaken the strength and natural resistance of the body to throw off and overcome these diséases. Each time we 'break nature's lawk we break God's law and hinder our body in doing the work of taking care of it just that much. The young boys and girls who are starting to earn are advised to save a certain amount and put it in a good bank to have in case of need, another amount g&ven régularly to & needed cause. Thrift 1s good, also the Eiving to-do good, when one is in health and with mind ad eyes open t see the needs and to know one is doing good to some one. One person said thé greatest regret of his life was, that his money would not do him any good unless spent in a good cause after he was gone, for he did not know until too late how much pleasure he could hive had from giving while he was in health and able to do so. He told told this to warn others.

How &frald we aré of pov- erty! More so many times than of shat- tered friendship, of Sharp methods, of dis- honest practices. Yet most bf us eame in- to this world with nothing but & cry, and can take no more out of it. What's the use of spending so much of odr _time dodging poverty—unskiliful dedgers at that? Of course money’s a good thing, “And when wé desire it for a good end there’s nothing wrong about that. But to place it above all elsé in our aim, there’s Whers the curse comes. And thinking &5 miish of It, that's just what we'ré apt to do. Mere money is far from being a8 ifmport- ant as many of us think. Much of the desire for Fore oy 18 for the. gratification of Hothouse taktes. Set us down, as our forsfathers and fore- mothers were placed, “on a #teth, rock- bound coast,” and what a genéral whin- ing and grumbling there would be! Nev- er a sense of gladness and of that we had come safely this far; never & willingness to clear away thé forest, cope with the savages, till the soll, plow, plan, hoe, spin, weave and sew, bake and bréw. The mere thought would make some of us shudder. Yet there's many a product of twentl- eth-century luxury who fails t6 gain half the zest from living that aid they of sterner days. Take away life's hard- ships and Yyou take away some éapacity for enjoining happler days. Take away the necessity for dally industry and you take away keen delight in #réér hours and the joy of real accomplishment. There are worsé things than poverty of pocket book. Poverty of soul—for in- stance, Trust all the sistérs had a glorious Fourth and are looking forward t6 some- thing better weatherwise for théir vaca- tion trips. Best wishes. 8. E.

I used to enjoy it when I could but due to a bad foot am unable to now, But for & real day's Dpleasure give me a horge and wagon and 1 would start off on some road that is not much traveled and what a good timé I would have. You can go to so many places with a hofse that it is almost im- possible to go with an auto and a horse knows so much. It wAs a hard thing for me 1o give up the horse as I have driven nearly ever since I can remembef and when my ship comes in will keep a horse for just such trips. Have now driven the auto for several years, and| of course that covers much more ground, but I can’t see what the major- ity of people who rifie so much see in going at the speed they do.

Theéee were many present. At the laugh. close refreshments were served. But as to people walking the roads, why will théy persist in walking in meI toad as 8o many do. You take the ce- ment roads, the most of them have not fhuch room to spare .when two machines pass each other. Still people will walk well over in the road and sometimes I think it would not matter if they got knogked down as I also think sometimes it 1§ not,much matter if machines get ditched en they run so reckless. I db not by? any means think peopls waik- ing should get over the wall to give the autoist all the room, neither should the autoist run in thé ditch to 1ét peopls walk in the road. It both sides would be & little more contiderate of the other fellow’s rights how much better it would edestrian talls about being mad nnd stamping her foot. That is the way 1 feel when I geé an auto driver tooting his horn to somé téam to get out of his Wiy when he wof't hArdly give him time and acts as though Ne wanted him to get off the sarth Aimply because he is driving a team. - 86 many times when Wwé have to pass teams I notice if we bend out and say “Thank you” to them thélr expressions shange greatly.
