GREETINGS AND HINTS
 FROM A DREAMER.

Dear Corner Friends: s'Once upon q tlme' eff I'm to live up to my name must begin as all dream stories dol the leader of q fraternaI- organization , vas making Up 8 sick committed" One delegate chosen was a new member, and to this woman the leader remarked:
 foung woman, can we depend on you to visit the sick?'
 sharply:
 When I promise to do a thing al ways keep my word, if possible'
 Good, replied the leader but my dear friend, please do not feel hurt at the question asked you, for I wonder. Ii you are aware that there are reaIl.- very few who do keep their promises. and because of this fact the few who du live up to their word are com pelled to suffer because of the havoc wrought by those whose promises are not worth the time it takes to repeat them.''
 And 50, dear Cornerites, it's up- to you and I to be numbered among the few who do keep their promises
 If any of the Sisters are handy at fXIng up a last years felt hat -per- haps they would like to know how one woman succeeded in using up old trim mlngs. The shape was a turban She brushed It thoroughly, then pressed the hrim, using a wet cloth between the felt and the flat. which was very hot: while the brin was damp she rolled it ur to suit her taste and let it dry. after which it was shaped. She draped around the crown some old black velvet which had been brushed and cleaned Then on the left side of the roIfed-up brim she made q slit (about the whole width of the brim). On each side of the slit she fastened an old fashioned bead ornament, sewing each through to the opposite side of the slit; thus it ap- peared that the bead ornaments clasp ed the slit together. These ornaments were made of ''old rose" beads.
 I'm sure some of you have lots of old fashioned trimmings laid away such as the ah0ve and black silk fringe, too. NowadayS anything that is odd is stun ming, and anything old is odd
 Nearly every woman ilas on her hands piaited skirt which econemy forbids her to lay one side. She c9If remodel 1t, if she desires to have an ap date skirt. First rip<~the skirt and plaits and wash il, 1T the goods Is washable: if not. clean with warm water and a few drops Of ammonia tn the water. Buy a ready made plain skirt pattern: follow instructions care fully. and I'm sure the results will be most satisfactory.
 It Is most gratifying to know that Social Corner writers need not fear GUT Editors waste basket. Even if we write Greek il will he deciphcrcd. Per

Heady-Try it again. We do not know how 1t happened
 Aunt Juie-Money received We do not have that kind of ''newsies'' in Norwich. Please designate some other use for it.

 through the Editor and the prize sent, if won.

A PRACTICAL USE
 FOR OLD PAPERS.
CRUSOE.

Sisters of the Social Corner: In all most every home there is 6 daily or weekly WsDaper-perhaps more than ore. To what use are these papers put after having been read? Stacks and stacks of them find their way to the rag man, to be made over again into paper.
 We have had a daily in our family for many years, and I can assure you not very many bundles of them ever went for waste paper Let me tell you some of the uses they are put to with Us. Paper bag receptacles, coat, skirt. snirtwaist hangers, camping out nil- lows bed covers, pin cushions. chest protectors stove and sink cleaners, ice covers and many other ways too nu- merouS to mention
 This is how we make these things: The paper bag receptacle is full size page of Bulletin, minus an inch hem ali the way around. Take two or three thicznesseS of paper opened out, stitch hem across top of sheet, fold and stitch hem across two sides and bottom Fasten by loops in some out of the way place and you have very handy ,deceptacle to put the accumulated hunt for bag when you want one. The hangers different sizes, are made by ta king two or more copies of paper fold them the length you want, roll very tightly. tie string in middle and near each end, curve ends down lit tle place loop in middle to hang by. These are very convenient for anyone travelling or camping where wardrobe hooks are flew and far between"
 It is always a good plan to have on hand @ few screw hooks. which with the hangers can be use many times over.
 The pillows are made by making niI- low covers of any material you like. For filling. fold single sheets of paper 2 $ you would a fan. cut strips across folds half or three-uuarters inch in 7f5f .tTTf fnTE Eea1 ri md fill as full as you wish the ~'lloW cases You will have a pillow com fCrtable uoiseless, and will last with care quite a long time.
 For bed cover, take as many parnrs. double, as will fit top of bed in size. Stitch them together, put between old sheets if you wish. and you have a very good bedquilt-
 For pin cushions. cut folded paper quite narrow (same as for pjllows), make paper bag of advertising pictures -Aunty Drudge on one side, Gold Dust Twins on the other-haif inch hem all around fiji with cut strips opened out, T1.ess in rather tightly, stitch (across top. sew on iooD to hang by and there is your pin cushion If you make up half 2 dozen you will find use for every one of them.
 Chest protectors are cut to fit the person, covered one side with cloth stitched to paper; very useful where there is family of children. they can be worn under waist or coat
 The stove and sink cleaners, rumpled pieces of paper fine for wiping a sink dry or rubbing clean a, greasy stove. Burn the pieces after using.
 To cover ice in refrigeratOr. put two or three thicknesses of paper over it and tuck down under the block This will keep the ice from melting away so fast
 There are many other ways in which paper can be used. Large bags are some times useful to put hats in if you aHY4 q Hxrt handy for shirtWaists etc.
 hope some reader may find 4 suggestions a $ helpful IS I have founG them many times. ANNA

FLEETWOOD SPEAKS
 FOR M. RoENA,


 Dear Friends of the Social Corner
 love to think of the joys which will come into many lives during this ! Thanksgiving week. Truly 1t is g beau iiful custom-this New England home coming for Thanksgiving. How many fathers are now providing the best that their purse will allow. while mother. busy from morning till night, delights in the culinary skill which
 enables her to prepare the delicious
 dishes which shall delight the chii- dren when they arrive.
 As she works she remembers tho cookies which were Johns especial fs p vorite when q boy in the old home. Perhaps if was a. pie which. Harry en- joyed most. or a certain kind of cake which Mabel liked best. All are pre- Uared with especial care and with ioY- ing thoughts and delightful anticipa We are apt sometimes to think of the i Thanksgiving feast as a sort of sacri
 and women for a few days lay aside
 their business cares as they journey
 back to the old home there to parta ke of the thanksgiving feast provided by home renew the sacred associations and lift the veil from the choicest pie

 where else could such a perfect spirit of Thanksgiving prevail.
 Dear Ready: l want to tell you how
 pleased M. Roena was with the pretty card you sent her some time ago. Just after receiving it she left us. expect ing to spend the winter in Hartford, but she had been there just one week when she was called to the bedside of her youngest daughter. who was dan gerously i'll in distant state. Dur Ing these weeks she has been caring for this daughter. nursing her back to life and health. as only a mother could do, and helping to care for the tiny twin girls Now all are doing nicely, but M.
