SWEET SIXTEEN THINKS OF SEE
 CEDING.

Dear MT. Editor:-I would like to thank Housewife for remembering me I fully intended to write some : time ago, but to tell you the truth dear Housewife, I am just a little discouraged. I have written so many times and invited the young people to write. When they do not respond begin to think:
 Well. I am not of much account anyway I will have to wait till l am older if I wish to make an impression on that great big Social Corner.
 Still, dear Sister Ruth thought oi me in her dreams Wasn't that a fine story? The Editor tells us she has written another. I am impatient to read it.
 Tell you what I think I will do: TT just drop a line to Uncle Jed and ask him if he will not take me under his parental wing.
 I think I would make a better inn pression on the children guessing theil puzzles and writing them stories. just love the little ones, anyway; and I think their page is so instructive. Ii teaches them to think and become self-reliant: and then when they are older they will become worthy mem bers of our Social Corner.
 Don't you think so?

ROSE CULTURE.

Editor Social Corner of Bulletin:- I beg to acknowledge receipt of pa pers issued May 20. Thanks for same I also acknowledge the honor of being placed upon the Sisters page, and hope I may be allowed to intrude just once more.
 It is about tipe for roses; and eouDt1ess many or the Sisters grow them and are more or less successful. I have made them a study for many years and now have about sixty choice varieties.
 I grow the hybrid perpetuals mostly. I do not grow the moss variety and rambiers.
 [ also have a way of my own of making Cor forcing) them to bloom continually until frost comes; and they are covered at night and gathered for the table on Thanksgiving day
 As I expect to see a copy of The Bulletin each week. will try and an- swer ary question that may be asked through the columns in The Social Corner in reference to rose culture.

WE SHOULD BE CHARITABLE.

Editor Social Corner.-I have been deeply interested in the Social Corner of late, the letters are so helpful. So many gcod things have been said upon Friendship that it hardly seems neces- sary 10 add my mite, yet I wish to say this: We are all human and sub ject to human frailties. and so the best of us often make mistakes and often by word or act unintentionally wound those dearest to us. I would not, if l knew it. hurt anyone's feel ings; and yet l fear I often do. And so l pray thee, my friends, if I have done aught to offend thee, that thou wilt forgive, as thou wouldst be for given.
 Whoever has read that beautiful poem. The Fools Prayer,v cannot soon forget these lines. which I am going to quote for the benefit of those who have never read it:
 Iris not by guilt the onward sweep
 Of truth and right. o Lord, we stay: 'Tis by our follies that so long
 We hold the earth from heaven
 away.
 These clumsy feet, still in the mires
 Go crushing blossoms without end These hard, well-meaning hands we
 thrust
 Among the hesrt-strings of a
 friend.
 The ill-timed truth we might have
 kept
 Who knows how sharp it pierced
 and stung?
 The word we had not sense tsA say
 Who knows how srandly it had
 rung?
 So many unmeant blunders we make that we can we'll echo the prayer: Be merciful to me a fooI.'
 I want to say a few words in re- gard to Truth Hold to it, always; remember that:
 Nothing can need a lie:
 The fault that needs one must Grow two thereby
 Let us keep silence rather than hurt friend, but if we must speak. let it be the truth, always. Only speak it gently. Most of us know, or have known, people whose statements we always distrust, and none wish to be clsssed among them. Yet. if people lind that we have once told an untrutf, they will never fully trust us after ward. So let us watch our words tha. none may have occasion to doubt us, even in the least things.
 One way, think. to teach our chil- dren truthfulness, besides being abso- luteiy truthful ourselves. is to impress the word Truth upon them Don't say: Don't tell a lie." but say. rather: Always speak the truth think the word which is impressed most deep ly upon their minds is the word which they will act upon.

BELLIES ENTERTAINING LETTER

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: It seems perfectly won derful to me that every time I look over the Social Corner page I see something that I had not read before.
 No doubt everyone has been busy and not through, yet but I thought must take d few moments for a chat It refreshes one.
 When warm days set in I will think of all who live in warm cities and towns and wish they had some of our sea breeze; but not our fogs.
 Where is Montville? House cleaning. too? How her words cheered me when she wrote of my recent article I won der how many of the sisters had all the money they wanted to buy carpets and curtains and various other things during house cleaning. How many managed as I did. Rip carpets apart. put the worn places under the beds and next the wal. after patching them in rooms least used-and a new car pet for the sitting room, where I look at it most. and put the bright side up.
 Speaking of the photograph gallery. Faye Nerna, l have already painted your picture, Montville's. Ruth' s. Franks and few others. My hair is streaked with gray. too, Frank, and l am rather proud of it, for I consider there underlies it what young people never had nor never will have-experi- ence-until they get years on their shoulders. And then we should be so thankful that the dear Lord has let us live to see them.
 O! yes. Speaking of the photograph gallery and it's surprises, reminds me of what 1 heard a, clergyman say about i those of us who are fortunate enough to get to heaven. There will be three surprises awaiting us. One will be to see people there who we did not ex- pect. Another will be not to see peo- pie there that We did expect. And the surprise of all surprises will be if we get there ourselves. I like to hear mothers call their husbands Papa" " but for a woman with no children 1t sounds ridiculous to me.
 Ma seems to be an authority on chickens. I have had splendid luck this year. Set seven hens and have 73 little ones Used our own eggs I find to put some good rich soil in Nle bot tom of the boxes and the hay on top of that keeps the eggs moist, and a few days before time for the hen to

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- l am sure there are not one of you could guess where I am writing to you from, so l must tell you that it is on a railway train, speeding away about 50 miles an hour, which makes writing something of 8 conundrum. I guess the editor will think so when he is try ing to read 1t.
 I have been so busy cleaning house the past few weeks and now that it is done. I am spending Decoration day with my only dear little daughter in New York city. one only girl among a houseful of brothers. I would not dare tell you how many. for everyone in our little village would then know Who S Who" and the spell would be broken

 ! heard a gentleman say the other day that it was not the high cost of living that kept people poor-it was the cost of living high; and I could not but think 1t truthful saying.
 think Ma has given us some val uable information about hens and chickens. Perhaps she could tell US of some good way of -.utting down eggs for winter use. I generally take about eight quarts of water one cup lime and one cup salt. This is a very good recipe. I do not use these eggs on the table, but they are all right for cook ing.

BIRDS AROUND OUR HOMES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- My home is in the country. From the windows near where I sit to rest I can see, may be hundred feet of worn out pasture. tall trees, old stone wall and flower garden. Bird life is be- indeed.
 First. foremost. and all the time. is the robin. A pair of them have built in the caves and have a nest full of young, very hungry all the time. it would seem. Another pair are living in trelIis and another in a low tree nearby. They claim all the bugs and worms around here: but the saucy sparrow will have it's own.
 pair of house wrens have made their home in a tobacco can. which is fastened to post in vine, for years. but this year the robins have almost driven them away. Whichever the wren's head appears coming out of their nest in the can the robin flies at at them, sending the little one off in a hurry
 chebeek has it's nest in the branches of a tall ash tree. They are very fearless and do not mind my presence at all, perehins near while watching for fly to pass. making a quick dive for it, and coming back to the same perch.
 A chipping sparrow's nest is bal ancetl in the red rambler rosebush. What setting for the little birds when the roses bloom,
 There are many bird visitors in the yard-phoebes, wood pewees, king birds. members of the f1y-catcher fam fly. waleeups and downy woodpeckers red winged blackbirds, the yellow war bler black and white creeping warbler and Maryland yellow throat.

 bird shaped like an oriole. but with different song has puzzled me for some time.
 The song sparrow and catbird will answer when they arc called and vii, sine for me over and over when I praise them.
 Chimney swifts and barn swallows are ever on the alert; also the night hawks in the afternoon, and whip poorwill in the evening.
 Brown thrashers. chewinks and cuckoos make themselves feard In short, bird life is going on all about us, and if we turn our minds to them it will keep us busy when other cares do not completely engross us. It is well to have something to take one out of doors and keep the mind well occupied and amused. When new bird appears one almost wants to tell the news to our friends as we would any other harmless bit of gossip.
