So I was in~l terested to find this formula containing the quallties essential to happiness: First, unselfishness ; second, self-mastery ; third, work and fourth: faith. When we think of how far short we fall of perfec- tion in these respects it makes us con- sider how we cah work out happiness for ourselves and others along these lines. And these qualities are equally possible to all conditions and classes of people as a very real happiness. 1 think that as a rule we in the coun- try are pitying especially just now, those in the city who have not the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables and air and ‘quiet that we enjoy. There is such an .over-supply of good things each sea- son I always wish they could be shared and utilized: Even canning all we can use and more fails to exhaust the supply with us. It is @ pleasure to feed the little folks the fresh milk and vegetables and -fruit and watch them grow and en- joy. the chickens, cows, pigs, flowers and 2l the rest.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: Through a misunderstanding did not receive my “yellow slip” for the prize letter won in July until last week, therefore delay in sending my thanks. “But better late than never.” ‘Was pleased to learn that the letter in regard to the “Hair Albums,” caused Iola 4to write so intereéstingly of other antique articles made from hair. I have a hair ring made from my mother’s hair, exactly like Iola’s des- cription, and when I was quite a young girl my father had a watch chain made from my sister’s hair, it was woven in tubular strands, then twisted in a- rope effect, and mounted with gold, and really was very attractive looking and artist: too, and worn. for many years. It seems to me that the sisters in Club No. 4 must be taking a vacation from letter -writing, as their names do mot appear on the Social Corner page. The summer is nearly over and maybe as the fall comes on they will take greater in- terest. % ‘Will close my letter by sending in twe Tecipes that I have ngver seen in :ine Social Corner.

KEEPING UP WITH THE CROWD. Dear Sisters of the Corner: Some of us have such a craze for up to dateness, we had rather be dead than out of fashion as regards dress, thought, or ac- tion. We s2ek for the latest, and, if possible, antedate that. Old standards —we ignore them. Old truths—we pro- nounce trite, worn out. That might all aid appreciably in world progress if it were only based on firm foundations. But it is far from so- being. - Real truth is never “trite"— “worn out”” Fads soon become just ‘that, and are thrown into the discard. Truth is ever the same in its fundament- als.

We find it so much troudle to let those with the pioneer spirit think for us and accept blindly! Yes, we do. ‘One has to be up to Aate to keep up with the crowd?’ ¢ True—probably. But what does that mean? Why should one always want to keep up with the crowd? Are crowds noted for wisdom of action, calm delight, happinness even? Or, rata- er, for restless excjtement, aimless hur- g, pushing, and scramlsing? Why not think a little farther? It's no sin to want to be in the fashion.

TOMATOES AND UMBRELLA SUP- PORTS, Dear Uorner Sisters and Editor: The cheerful colored tomatoes are with us again, the red.being.most in evidence, while the yellow displays The Corner color. 5 They certainly are ‘like a growing family and need much attention to bring them up in the way they should go. All kinds of strings and wires are needed to tie them' to supporters, At last I utilized some old umbrella frames, tied them to poles and when opened the points were bent down and I call them the revival of the hoop-skirts. Last spring if I had thought- about them, should have set the gladiola bulbs in a double circle and the frame in the center and with the stalks tied to the ribs the blossoms would display their beauty in a compact form. This idea is building for next.year; CHAM'S ed board, toss lightly, and roll out to thickness about 1-2 inch, cut with a bis- cult cutter; put butter in center and fold as for Parker House rolls.
