TO THE MEMBERS.

lt pleases us to see a pieeonhole fufl of letters held in reserve, for that means greater variety from week to week and also re- enforce ement when busy members are deprived the pleas tyre of writing.
 there Is no grievance Decause one member frankly criticised the judge. It is better so than that she or any other member should nurse a griev- ance or suspicion. We have no per- sonal acquaintance with the compet- osen written by non-competing friends to whom we feel very grateful.
 The members seem to be perfectly 04t1sded with the manner in which tAc prizes are awarded and we shall 3y to be as fair as possible.
 With reference to the awarding of prizes two more members have this 0 say:
 Mrs c. E. T.:-As regards awarding the prizes each month, I say that I think the editor of the paper would be- "a better judge of what was the best work than the members would be, as he has had 50 much more experience chan we mve. I don't see why any enc should find fault It is not lady like to do SO I think all should try to do their share-editor and all.
 Bee" of Westerly: On the subject of awarding the prizes, for one would gay the present way is all right. Ev egyone is glad to win a prize; but as a1l cAnnot. I do not see why there 9AouSd be any fault found with the tadge- This department is. too good and too young" to cause any dissat- eg1Actf0n- think we better all show our appreciation by contributing the best we can and profitinE by the many helpful letters we have each week.

or done anything in his life for which his conscience shculd bother him.
 Now know better. In my mind a good example ~of such an instance is that letter which he wrote you. I'll own up that it war rather of cute and neat letter, and I wish he'd try again, for he gave me the dollar; but he might choose a better s3btsct. It seems to mo that such a husband as Jack has been, and a deacon of the church. too, ought to ethink twice" be- fore he sent such stun and nonsense to be printed as bald facts.
 Jack has been a very good husband to me for upwards of thirty years, and let me say. right here that in all my acquaintance with him I never knew him to bring In 2 single piece Of game in that extraordinary manner he del scribed and I am 90 afraid some of you will think he meant 1t and take the let ter seriousiy.
 After all. Jack is pretty good hus- band, As husbahds go, though they are few and far between We nave formed a mutual improvement society and with such good success that now we never dread having tho minister and his wife come to- tea. year ago we would have been considerably Mustered when we saw them coming. The ministers s wife is so particular about her speech. and she used to look at us as if we were perfect heather. You see. Jack and I, living quite alone. had grown careless about our speech and often said rather queer things. After their first visit we made up our minds that we would improve OUT grammar. Now, thanks to our pains. we no longer say T seen," them things" or they is" In fact, we feel quite like masters of the English language. It was hard at first, but we were determined to i'm prove, and whenever one made a mis- take the other would correct.
 Perhaps some of you have become careless in your speech. Have you ever stoppAd to think that a few careful thoughts are all that are needed to correct the czre1essness? Jack and I, as say, never dread to see the min ister and his wife now. Perhaps you won't if you try this method.
 With due respect.
 MRS. JACK THE HUNTER.

I wish had, but as long. as I did not at that time I will tell you why l will not now. Had given the persons name she might possibly have been encouraged to write again, and the Corner might have gained permanent writer On the other hand, there might have been two or three who had written once and never written again and possibly when they read my letter and (you know we alf like to think we have written en- couraging letters1 thought perhaps 1t was their letter that was so helpful and been encouraged to write again, and fine Corner would gain two or three permanent writers.

Dear Sisters:-Beside my sink I keep a bottle containing one-third giycerine and two thirds common vim essr. A few drops applied to the hand after washing dishes, etc., keeps them smooth enough to do any fancy work Hubby likes this emolient, es- pecialFy.
 Did you ever try mixing the corn- meal first with cold water like thick ening for sauce? It is ever so much easier than stirring in the meal the old way.
 Let four cupsful of water come to a boil. add one teaspoonful of salt and a cupful of cornmeai mixed with one- half cupful of cold water; as soon as it boils hard. stirring 1t all the while. yOu can set 1t on the back of the steve to simmer. or, better yet, put in . fireless cooker for f1ve or Six hours.
