An Old Fashioned Side Dish.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The wise hostess now gives a good deal of thought to her table decora- tions, instead of spending all her time and energies on a big dinner Half her time is given to the dinner proper and half to the garnishes and decorations What can be prettier than a bunch of chrysantheums and brown oak leaves, instead of the old pumpkin and grain centerpiece which has so long held first place on Thanksgiving day If one has candlesticks the prettest lit tie shades may be made from yellow paper in imitation of pumpk in blos- sons.
 An old Thanksgiving side-d dish our fore fathers used to appreciate was the twisted doughnut with hot cheese balls. the recipe for which runs as follows: Into froth fine and light beat two esgs-only the white-to this add cheese grated all-roll each bit in a tiny ball Cover the balls allover with cracker crumbs fine as flour. then quickly drop into smoking lard, let them stay till brown and hard-pile on a pl9tter-serve hot. nevef fear for they will not be set aside left un- tasted; but the recipe will be re- quested.

4 Moony Epistie.

Editor Social Corner: Another girl of sweet sixteen, wishes to jump in to the Social Corner. I thank you dear friends. for letting us sweet sixteeners into your jolly game.
 My first subject to you comrades will be "The Moon.'' I am sure we all love that little fellow, and will live to hear about him. Modern superstitions con- cerning the moon are quite numerous. As We all know, one is good luck. if the new moon first be seen over the right shoulder. The man in the moon Is so plain as to be seen at a glance. One of the most widely known men connected him with a Hebrew who was stoned for gathering sticks on the Sabbath. Many of the writers give account of this legend like this. A man travelling on Sunday with bundle on his back was met by a fairy who asked him why he worked on Sunday. He replied:

Riqht Thouqht Fiavors Feast.

Editor Social Corner: I am inter ested in the effort of the Editor of the Social Corner to prepare the way to the November feast. One marked feature of the Corner is something good to eat; and how much more we lend our minds to something good to eat than to something good to think. Thought does not nourisl1 you say-it exalts or degrades the soul, and it wins. The right kind of thought may double the delight of the feast. Medi- thought spells a good digestion; and also. that gluttony is the source of most discontinue and disease. A thankful heart can make a feast of a lean diet. While it is creditable to work for larger attachments. it is folly to want what we cannot get. Con tentment does not abide where envy pitches his tent. There is often more health in d lean diet than in a fat one. It is the simple liver who glorif7es old age with the cheer and activity of youth. It pity Thanksgiving, like the drinking bout, has it's day after-misery for the patient and money for the doctors. l wish we could furnish recipes for thought to give ad- ditional flavor to every feast. High living represents style-good living represents sense-rationality is the balance which bars eXcesses and fn- vites delight The man who is master of his appetite at table comes pretty near being the captain of destiny, and the master of fate. While we are pre- pairing for the feast lets bear ill mind the spirit which most benefits the occasion.
