Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here 15 a good recipe for tender husbands. In preparing a nice tender husband, as a great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement In ‘cooking and season- ing, we take pleasure In sharing our ad- vice with others. Some women keep their husbands con- stantly in hot water; others freese them; a goodly mumber roast them: a few put them in'a stew; others keep them constantly in a pickle. It cannot be supposed that any husband will be good managed in this way, but they are really deliclous when properly treated. Don't keep him in a kettle by force as he will stay there himself if proper care is taken. If he should splutter and fizz don't be anxjous. Some hus- bands do this. Add § little sugar in the form of what Cconfectioners call kisses, but no_vinegar or pepper on any account. A little epice improves him, but it must be used with judgment. Do not try him with something sharp to see i he is tender. Stir him gently a while lest he lie too long in the kettle and become flat and tasteless. 1t you will follow these directions you will find him very digestible, agreeing nicely with you and he will keep as long as_you want him. It's worth trying, lsn't 1t? PAULA.

T was tired the next day, but ill. Who will be the next? Mr. Golden Glow sends his thanks for his birthday gift and oh, my, such a lovely one. Good luck to the Corn. GOLDEN GLOW Iped me ANOTHER MOHAWK TRAILER Dear Social Corner Sisters. Dorinda asks how many of the sisters have been over the Mohawk Trail. I have and took about the same route she did. We noticed the large onion flelds we parsed. was quite taken with Fast Long Meadow. 1 think that is 4 beautlful place and think T would liks to- live there. When you are looking down on North Adams, doesn’t it look frigntfui golng down that stesp hill—and perhaps landing in that body of water at the foot, as 1 hear one party di1? And any one would be likely too, if they put much speed on. Our driver was very careful and put the brakes on riore and more, 50 we went very slow'y, but I drew a long breath when we got d>wn. You should have kept on to Williams- town, a beautiful place, 1 would not have missed that for anything. There we saw the stone erect:d in honor of the missionaries that held thefr first meeting around the haystack, - Adoniram Judson and others. When we struck Pittsfleld we ran into a.hard {hunder shower. Tt was a fine trip. We took one of the longest days in June for It, 50 as to have plenty of time. We had antic- ipated going for a year. T wonder if you folks enjoy going to the moving pictures. 1 don't cara much for them anyway, but my friend thought she would give me a treat my birthday, so we went. They started off wll right, but suddenly came to a standstill. The sheet was blank, and music stopped, and we sat there In the dark one-half to three-quarters of an hour, wondering what was the matter. It was a terrible hot day, and sweat poured off our faces. Tinally we got up and went home. That was how I enjoyed them that tlme. The trouble was the power .was shut oft in Stafford, as they were having a very hard shower there, but we were in ‘Willimantiyp. 1 was pleased when § read about the trip to Ashford!

WHY GEANDMA GRAY HAS BEEN SILENT Dear Soclal Corrier Sisters: So many months have passed since I sent a line for the Corner page I have been afrald you would drop me from the family, but 1 met with the sisters in the Buckinghan in May and received a cordial welcome and again T met them at Alexander's Lake and Theodora cannot realize how her pleasant gresting and assurance that she was more than glad tg meet me gave me a most delightful time. One excuse for not writing is that we moved in April and a few of you probably know some of the hard work which goes with moving. We had lived in one house 45 years with the excep- tion of two years away and you can imagine the accumulation of movable things from attic to cellar. But we were not able to improve the farm and rather than see it run down we sold it and now have only a rented house a garden and hens to care for. 1 used to say no rooms were so pleas- ant as ours at the old far but I fnd that the sun shines just as brightly here. the birds sing just as sweetly and we have the best of neighbors. So it Is home sweet home here. Our children ralifed around us and did the moving and settling, so we have nothing to complain of and much to enjoy. I enjoy the Soclal Corner page and if -you will. forgive me will try to von- tribute someéthing more often. One sister asks, Who has seen a Rev- olutionary soldier? My grandfather was born in 1776, the year of the Declara- tion of Independence, so of course was not in that war, but later was a soldfer. I remember him/ well. T have some pleces of furniture grandfather had when he went to housekeeping. They are prized as heirlooms and no hunters for old_ fashioned furniture can buy them. My father was in the war of the rebellion and was killed In the battle of Fredericksburgh and was burled In the beautiful cemetery at Arlington. We hope there will be no more wars and peace will reign, but the times seem very troublous at present. One sister wrote of the uses for news- papers. T use them as she suggested and T would not know how to keep house without them. T also use orange wrap- I pers and all waxed papers to wipe oft my cook stove and like them very much. 1 have 12 bright lively Rhode Island red chicks, T am bringing up and have lots | of fun with them. Don't expect such good luck as Brave wrote about last January. Granger speaks of a Quaker meeting house. In the place where ¥ lived in my childhood, there were two Quaker churches and several families who be- longed to that sect. One Quaker keopt a store there and his sister taughi our school. 1 like her very much, but she died young with consumption. T used to attend their meetings when the pastor of our church was away. Some meet- |ings were siient, not a word spoke: and 80 still vou could hear a pin drop. The old men wore their large broad-brimmed hats through the meeting. When they rose and ‘shook hands the meeting was over. They called it communing with the spirit. Another time T will teil you of a marriage T attended in their church. How many sisters have attended a Quak- | er marriage? If not too late I wish to thank the sisters who sent me birthday cards, Ma of Green Gables, Bug, Theddla, and Delial Deal who sent the lovely badge. Hope to call on her some day when we are out for an auto drive. We are sorry to hear cf the sudden death of Etta Barber and sympathize with her famfly. . Our editor must be long suffering | and kind to keep track of all the sisters’ letters and T shall not, blame him in the least if he throws this in the wasie basket. Kindest regards to all. GRANDMA GRAY. RECALLING SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE GONE Dear Sisters: - When I read the letter from Just Me concerning the hair al- bum, and the autograph albums of our girlhood days several half forgotten | things rose up In my mind one of them being hair jewelry. A cousin who used to visit a little girl had a brooch and earrings of woven hair mounted in gold, and as I remember them they were very pretty, too, though light and fragile. Aiso I member another brooch, oval in shape holding a strand of plaited hair set under glass, and 1 have a ring which belonged to my mother of finely plaited hair set in gold. It is practically a gold ring with a groove made to set the braid in and a little name plate in the center. Another melancholy ornament was a wreath of head owers. I have seen one of them somewhere in my travels and I saw a hair album for the first time in the past year. One of my friends has one descending from some of her ancestors, and it is indeed a curiosity 1 had never heard of such a thing before, and hair flowers put me in mind of old fashloned feather flowers. There ust to be a spray or two in my old home when I was a child. I thought they were something wonderful. 1 think they were - supposed to resemble a white rose. Anyway the feathers were white and that reminds me of the turkey tail fan which always hung in one of the bed- rooms upstairs and the long bunch of peacock tail feathers in the hall closet which gently waved over the bed back and forth. It was used to keep the fies off a sick person in summer time. Now T suppose I hadn’t even thought of any | of these articles before for years which is a proof of the old saying that we never forget anything it is only covered up with something else, and when some- thing happens to brush the rubbish away from it then we remember. One style of fancy work and ornamentals suc- ceeds another and so the world goes on. Did anyone ever see the old alum bas- kets, made of crystallized alum on mica, and ‘used to hold cards and pic- tures? My mother had cne that she had made in her young 4ays, and when I was a girl we used to work cardboard mottoes with colored worsteds and they were duly framed and hung up all over the house, .and we thought they w beautiful. And we crocheted tidies and lambrequins out of macrame cord, or fish we're going to do it in a hurry.

T was where T noticed how poorly the gravy was mad and I remarked that T could tell the lady how to make it.
