TO THE SISTERS
OF THE SOCIAL CORNER.

The repetition of the Prize Winners
for June because of an error of an
nouncement shows that the Editor If
the Social Corner is human but since
results are not thereby affected, the
annoyance of the mistake is wholly
upon him. He knows how it happen
ed, but that is hardly worth explana-
ton since it precludes the possibility
of the same mistake being made again
by him. The sending out of the prizes
was delayed until the error could be
corrected.
We hope that the contributors to
The Corner who have not done so will
send to The Editor their true name
with their pen-name on a separate
piece of paper, that business may be
facilitated. The Editor is the sole
possessor of these names and their
possession may be of future interest
to contributors in various ways.
Rural Delivery has decided he can
not absent himself, and has favored us
this week with a facetious letter which
will be greatly enjoyed by all-it is a
good story.

able and helpful letter on Rose Cul-
ture, and the letters are, as whole,

A DAYS DRIVE IN JUNE.

One fine morning in the month of
June We hit he'd up our most faithful
horse and started out for days drive
through the country. There had been
a shower the night before, and there
was never better time to drive, as
the early morning air was scented with
grapevine blossoms and the beautiful
roses as we passed now and then a
house. AS we journeyed along through
a piece of wood we came to three
roads. and as we were meditating
which road to take, a long. lean, lant-
ern jawed boy about fourteen came
along, and we said Good morning" to
him.
He stared at us with his great blue
eyes and said: How fare YEP
We asked him if he could tell us
which was the best road to take, and
he said: whichever one you go on you
will wish you took tother.'
We inquired if there were many
houses on the right hand road, which
looked to be most travelled.
He replied: well, yes; the first one
you come to is a. haystack, the next is
a barn: then you come to old "Hotch-
kiss house. You might meet his gals.
The tarnal romping critters, they go
all over the neighborhood Dad sets

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
We have a crimson rambler twenty
five feet high: also a Dorothy Perkins
twenty feet high. After they get
through blooming take q slip five or
six inches long that has doomed this
year; set it in a pot as soon as cool
weather comes, bring in the house land
keep through the winter. Towards
spring they will begin to send up
sprouts from the bottom of the pot.
After all danger of cool nights is past.
saw June set them in the ground, and
they will bloom the next year We
have good luck and have slipped quite
a few. Now we have g. new one. The
name Oft is A Thousand Beauties.
When it blooms it is beautiful pink;
also white roses and pink and white
all on one bush. Ours has bloomed for
the first time this year: it is just
lovely.
Blanche's way is all right.

We said Good day. to him, as we
had long drive before u.s.
He pulled up his short leg to a de-
sired angle and said: That's a slick
horse of your'n."
We drove past old Hotchkiss' house,
ana sure enough there We're three
rompfng girls near the house which
would make good pictures for comic
valentines. Then We came to a small
village, and as We drove into the cen
ter of the place there were three large
touring cars well filled with ladies. We
inquired of a fine looking old gentle
man If they We're going for a days
journey, as the weather was fine. He
said: "Oh, no; they are going up to a
large house at the top of the hill to a
Social Corner meeting, they call it. l
think they mean "a prayer meeting, for
they are such a good looking lot of
ladies'"
As we left the quiet little village
and came out into the country we had
gone but a few miles when we met a
man with a bright looking boy who
said to us: Hold on a minute, mister
Well I said, little fellow, what
can L do for You ?"
He put on one of those boy smiles and
said
Dad and me went down to New
Lond5n to see the warships come in.
L said to DAD What is a Warship" He
told me it was a man-of-war. And
pretty soon a great big ship came in
sight, and Dad said:
There she comes,'
When l got home I said to Dad
you told me the big ship was a man
| of-war What did you say there she
comes for ~
What did you say there she" comes
for?
L gave the boy quarter and drove
along.
AS we journeyed towards home we
met man with a runabout automo-
bile which seemed to be hard for him
to control. For fear he would take up
| the whole road. he stopped the machine
as We came up TO him. He said:
Say. stranger this is the hardest
bitted horse | ever drove. / live back
here in the village and have been sick
for some time The doctor told me to
get a runabout and go out in the coun-
| try and get the fresh air. SO ! bought
this fire-red machine. / think the doc

into the street except one, and fell
/ low cried out:
You needn't come back. III tip
| that one into the street for YOU
He thought that was my business,
/ knocking ash barrels into the street."
AS we journeyed HON eward we met
three rural carriers. We asked them
| if their routes were paying them well
| and their reply was:
I'VE handle twice the mail we did a
year ago. since the Social Corner col
umns were open free to all in The Bul-

On our arrival home we were much

HOUSEWIFE REPLIES TO DOLLY
THE USES OF SODA.

Editor Social Corner: AS 1 havsa4
seen any response to Dol1y's query, I
am going to try to help her: and hop1
can make the directions plain enough
to be easily understood. First, draw
threads to the width desired, then lay
the hem even with the edge of the
drawn threads. Hold the work, and
take the first stitch as for plain hem
ming. Then put the needle under
few threads, from five to seventh il
not necessary to count. Bring the
needle up through, then put it back
under the same threads, this time
bringing it up through the hem. and
draw the thread tight. This makes a.
stitch around a little bunch of threads.
and holds them together Do the next
in the same way. When you have fin
ished hem stitching the hem, turn the
work. holding the hem towards you.
and hem stitch the other edge of the
drawn threads, taking up for each
stitch just the same threads that are
in each opposite stitch. This makes
what is called spoke stitch, and is
very pretty for table linen, bureau
An especially pretty stitch for hand
kerchiefs is the zig-zag stitch. In this,
when doing the inside edges of the
drawn threads, take up half of one
cluster of threads and half Of the next
cluster, to make one stitch.
l wonder how many of the sisters
use baking soda for anything besides
cooking? 1t can be bought in bulk for
three cents a pound, and is as good for
cleaning as many of the washing pow
ders costing two or three times as
much. 1t is good TO wash and scour
dishes. Milk dishes and strainers
should be rinsed in cold water. washed
in hot soda water, and well rinsed with
boiling water, and the milk will keep
sweet much longer. A little soda add
ed to rhubarb on currant sauce, when
cooking takes off the acid taste and
takes less sugar to sweeten them.
Use strong boiling hot soda water
to flush out the sink drain and clear
it of grease. also the bathroom pipes.
1t is an invaluable kitchen aid, and
also has its place in the medicine cab

THE SWEET JUNE BRIDES.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So
cial Corner: June, the dearest month
to me in all the year, is almost gone;
but it has yielded Its harvest of pretty
flowers, of sweet girl graduates and
still sweeter brides.
, l wonder il any of the latter are
readers of our Social Corneri Certainly
few if any of them have written. Per
haps they imagine that they would
feel out of place among SO many sis
ters who confess that their locks are
already streaked with gray.
My dear young sister, if you have
felt this way, just write and see how
quickly you will be received into our
midst. We will give you a hearty well
come and with our years of expert
you.
Most of us look with envy on the
beautiful bride VINO seems SO happy
in her new home surrounded by
everything new and beautiful. True,
she is happy at first; but SO many
young women enter upon the new life
as though it were a play garden where
she was to have her own way in ev-
erything and be petted continually by
her fond husband, that when they
awake to find that all this was only
q. dream they are of all persons most
misera BILE.
1 we'll remember that a dear friend
told me on the eve CT my wedding
day that l knew nothing yet of real
happiness. l thought she was mis-
taken and that she and sweet William
had not loved as John and 1 did: but
after something less than fifty years
of welded life I agree with her that
each year brings deeper and fonder
affections between husband and wife.
Now, my dear young bride, don't
expect your John to be perfect be
cause none of us has found the one
one who is. Try to exercise patience
with what you see amiss in him. Pay
no attention to the little departures
from what you think is right. and
hold out helping hand to him in
times of need You will soon be re-
warded by seeing him more attentive
to your wishes and many of the things
that annoyed you SO much al first will
disappear entirely.
Remember that in large measure
you are responsible for the character
and success of your husband.

USEFUL AND ECONOMIC

HOW LOUISE WORKS AND SMILES

easier than the old way of washing

Ter with about two tablespoons of Gold
Dust to a pail of water. When they
are hot and nearly ready to boil add
half a. cup of kerosene oil and boil Is
or 20 minutes; then suds. and rinse in

be beautifully white and clean.
While this is going on l wash my
dishes, sweep up the kitchen and din

then when the clothes are out, have
an hour or two to rest before the
preparation for dinner begins.

few recipes I use when they are ripe;
Currant Pie-Two cups eurrants. one
and one-half cups sugar; stew a few
minutes: pour into the crust on pie
plate, sprinkle well with -four. cover
with top crust and bake until done.
Currant Shortcake-Make shortcake
same as for strawberries. only add one
quart of currants, crushed; add enough
sugar to sweeten and let stand an hour
or so: then pull apart the shortcake
and fill with the prepared currants.
Spieed Currants-Four quarts of
stemmed currants, two pounds gran
u1ated sugar, one pint vinegar. one
teaspoon cinnamon, cloves and allsplce
Cook to jelly: fine with meats.
Currart Conserve-Put a quart Of
currant juice into a preserving kettle
add one quart of raspberry juice. Ole
pound of seedless raisins, juice of two
oranges. Boil five minutes, add five
pounds heated sugar boil until it jel-
lies, turn into glass jars.
Currant JelIy-Put currants in pre-
serving kettle; crush them with po-
tato masher to start the juice and heat
for a few minutes. Then strain and
measure your juice. l use a pint IF
sugar to a pint of juice. Put sugar in
oven to heat. Boil juice about 20 min
utes, removing scum. Put in hot SUI
gar, boil up hard once and take from

These recipes may help someone, and
they are all very nice, if you are fond
of currants.

THE TAX QUESTION.

Sisters of the Social Corner:
have been somewhat interested by
your discussion of the tax question.
1t is a knotty question, and few men
Understand it, SO it is not strange thai
women do not.
The reason that wealth is taxed to
maintain free schools is so that we
may perfect higher standard of cit
izenship and gain for all better gov
eminent and better protection.
To put a head-tax on the children
of the poor would be to put pre-
MUM upon iIliteracy and to promote
race suicide.
1t is a mistake to think that 1.-The
poor alien with fourteen children pays
nothing but a personal tax" He is
taxed indirectly in a score of ways;
and in the payment of rent and the
purchase of taxed goods pays more in
proportion to his means than rich men.
The free school is the glory of this
republic and the one thing creditabIe
10 our nation is the support of our
free public schools; although. it is
by the will of the majority who pay
