Dear Sisters of The Social Corner:
The sunshine Of a happy disposition
creates a healthy atmosphere in the
home and elsewhere. A determination
to make the best of every circumstance
contributes to long life as well as does
obedience to the laws of health A
good heart makes even a sick person
feel better. 1t sometimes seems to me
as if most of the unhappineSS of life
results from our not knowing What we
Want-and killing ourselves to get it,
No one can be happy without employ
mont; and too many appear to be made
unhappy by It. A round Of pleasure
would make life monotonous. Cocoanut
cake every day is no treat at all Real
happy life is made uD of work for self
and others. sweet friendships endur-
ing affection d peaceful home. restful
corners a little music and good books.

GentlenAss an Asset.

Editor Social Corner: 1t seems to me
every mother ought to recognize the
value to child of gentleness in
speech and in action. 1t have noticed
that life would be much more enjoy
able in some families if there was less
yawping and slamming of doors.
never envy people because of their po-
sition or money, but I find myself en-
vious now and then of the sweet voic-
ed gentle lady so graceful in all her
movements and so quiet in all she
does.
Have YOU ever lived in the same
house with one whose habit it was
to slam doors? There may be occasion
to open one door or two or six or
more, but in closing every one will be
slammed one after another. The walls
culver and your nerves throb, but the
slamming continues.
An aged nlatron for a long time be-
fore her death was obliged to live in a
house where there was door slam
mer." This elderly woman retired ear
ly. fell asleep soon after 8 and was
regularly awakened at by the loud
slamming of q nearby door. She could
not sleep again for hours, but the one
who Wakened her never knew, for she
never complained.
There is no merit in being noisy It
is the quiet people who are of good ad-
dress and in popular favor. Gentle
ness is an asset and should always so
be considered.

and you know if our hubby's salary is
but ten dollars a week it will take
some little time, I think if we do
not want to bear the expense until the

Still. if we have a family of five
for dinner, we might make believe
that some of them are wage earners
and help ont in this way
One of our sisters asks for an in
expensive recipe for salad dressing:
Take four tablespoonsful of olive
oil: one tablespoonful lemon juice or
vinegar if preferred, 4 little salt and
pepper. This can be used on all kinds
of yegeta bles and is very nice.

pie die laughing. I never heard of
any one who died because of it.
You will say to me that people aren't
born alike in their characteristics, and
that it is easier for some to be cheer
full than for others. Bless you, OF
course it is. Which makes the merit
of those who train themselves to a
cheerful habit greater than that of
those TO whom it comes natural.
Ducks take to the water: they are

weakness and i'll health. It's no es-
peciaI credit to the first boy If he
grows UP into a vigorous and useful
man. But it's a mighty big credit to
the weakling if, knowing his 1mlta-
tons, he sets to work by careful train
ing and wise nutrition and upbuiId1ng
exercise to make the utmost of his
latent capacities. Why, I have read
of a young man, rather slight when he
entered college, with weak eyes and a
poor digestion, who simply refused to
stay in the back seat to which it SEEM
ed as if nature had assigned him. He
took himself and his deficiencies in
hand and so managed them that be-
