A Good Idea for Other Neighbordoods.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I am delighted to find
that there is to be no change in our corner, and
that we are to occupy the same comfortable seats
near you. Let us indulge the hope that more of
those who have written but from whom we have
failed to hear recently will now speak out. I for
one believe in women talking. They say that we
do over half of that business now, but I can't be-
lieve it. The men have equal chances with us in
Social Chat and we always listen when they talk
if they do sometimes accuse US of being inatten-
tive to masculine voices.
Well, | must tell you a joke on our social circle
here at home. We were planning an entertain
ment for Christmas week and 50 we met at the
school house. All the women who were interested
came and one man came with his wife. Of
course this encouraged US wonderfully and all of
US piled him with questions and begged him for
suggestions. He was exceedingly affable, and we
enjoyed having him with us, but we heard after
ward that he said that we talked him almost to
death and he did believe we made him tell us
everything we wanted to know, besides promising
to lend us all his pillow lines to hang the stage
curtain on. Women are SO helpless, you know,
and it is a real treat to find a man who is always
willing to help us.
Our neighborhood is very much interested in
the library that is to be established here, and we
expect to have a fine time reading and discussing
the books we read. We are thinking of offering a
prize each three months for the best essay writ
ten on the contents of any book read. Now, we
women and girls propose to make the articles
given and thus encourage the readers and help
them to remember what they read.
What do you all think of the plan? I fancy
when we begin to write those essays or reviews
Social Chat will hear from us oftener, for writ
ing is like reading-you grow fond of it.
Later on we mean to include biographical
sketches of the author of those books, but not
now, as we must learn to crawl before we try to
walk. Let US know in "our corner" what you
think of our plan and we will feel encouraged if
you all sanction it. ELEANOR.

much helped by some of these publications. l
write therefore to call the attention of our women
on the farm to the following bulletins of special
interest to them:

Copies of these bulletins will be sent to any
address on application to any Senator, Represen-
t~ative, or delegate in Congress, or to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, Washington, D. @. And l
sincerely trust that a large number of the women
who read Social Chat will send for copies and
read them during the leisure time this winter.
In this way much valuable information will be
obtained and many dull tasks will take on new
interest and new meaning.
With best wishes for the Chat and The Pro-
gressive Farmer, I am,

Bulletins Every Farmers Wife Should Have

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I think The Progressive
Farmer rendered a splendid service to its readers
by it's recent publication of the complete list of
Farmers Bulletins which any person may get free
of charge from Senators and Representatives in
Congress-. But I am afraid that putting the list
on the agricultural pages caused it to be over
looked by many a farmers wife who would be

bought a hog on the market yesterday and carried
It home. When he began carving he cut out the
