"REMINISCENCES BY FRANK.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- One who signs herself B. B. A. said she liked the farm. In this Corner my eyes recognize the farm group and I enjoy their writings.
 I read The Parson, and his fine talks often bring to my mind old memories which are pleasant. I recall the days when my grandmother used to tell me lovely stories as she rested in her old armchair: but never remember hav- ing heard her sing. When it came to living I thought she was the captain and the crew. She used to tell me about her nine children, and how she and Gramp worked together and were able to give each one of them a woodlot It was interesting to hear hear tell about carding and spinning the wool and making the clothes for the family; and the sale of her home spun cloth brought goods and nails to complete the new house Gramp was building Grandma died when she was 96. and a few years before her death she had four new teeth; and she sewed and braided rags without glasses. There was always a twinkle in her blue eyes as stood beside her; and the cubes of her plain and sage cheese she gave me just fitted my mouth.
 love the old homestead now, where used to stroll in the orchard and pastures and gather wild flowers, the violets and the bright Indian pinks that grew near the brook. In imagina- tion hear there the bleating of the lambs, the signal bell of the cows, the sweet fragrance of the apple orchard in bloom, the singing of the birds, and all the natural sounds which interest and charm a child or lover of na- ture. And the big pits Grandpa made in the hill in which he kept his apples and potatoes stored from frost until spring. taking them out bright and sound.
 Tom and Ned should come down and settle upon the farm; and should they hear an owl screech they need not run. for it is harmless.
 To Sister Faye Verna: A clever guess. Now for a meeting of the sis ters to guess Who Is Who? Frank will be there, to take part.

IN THE WOODS

whole winter and talked so much about the joys of life in the woods that I went dippy, and in the spring I bought a fishpoIe and a shotgun and lot of circus clothes and went to the woods. I thought was going to have all kinds of a good time fishing in the babbIing brook and shooting strange things for the Smithsonian institu- tion. thought that when I had slept in blanket a few nights I would be fit for strong man stunt on the ker- osene circuit. I actually had the idea that chasing myself around in the woods was going to make me twenty years younger, and I know you have the same fool notion now fostering in your head.
 Well, sir, you talk about grief and carking care! You don't know what such things are until you get into the woods, about million miles from the nearest postoffice.. There wasn't even photograph gallery in that doggone forest and I was the lonesomest man you ever saw. I hadn't been in the woods an hour before I discovered that I was lost and it took me three weeks to find my way out. And it rained all the time, every blessed minute. I never saw so much water before. It just pelted down, on the day and night shifts, and it had been kept on ice somewhere, and most of it ran down my back and my teeth chattered so

that the racket kept me awake at night.
 My matches all got wet and I couldn't make a fire and I had to eat things raw. After I had been lost a few days I killed a mountain sheep. thought it was a mountain sheep at the time, but afterward the owner turned up and proved that the animal was just plug farm sheep and that it belonged to him, and he argued with a pitchfork so earnestly that paid him $10 for it, not knowing trat sheep were worth only 8. That's one of the re- suits of going into the country for your fun. The honest old farmers are always looking for easy marks. If you kill farmers hen he swears it was an ostrich and taxes you S10 and em- phasizes his remarks with a club or 8 shotgun. Y
 All the mosquitoes in the United States heard that I was cavorting around in the woods and they followed me up and stayed right with me. Then there were hornets as long as your arm and sassy worms and insects of all kinds, and they all bit me or stung me. And the rain never let up for five minutes. I'd wrap myself up in my blanket and lie down under a tree trying to get to sleep and when I'd open my mouth to SnOre a gallon of water would run in.
 Don't mention the woods to me, my friend. When I got back to civiliza- tion I had seven new kinds of rheum- atism and my teeth have been aching ever since, and whenever it rains I

THE WELCOMING PRIVILEGE.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: Since reading the excellent article upon the beauty of the word Welcome, written by The Man Who Talks. few weeks ago, I have ap- preciated more than ever before the beautiful significance of the word It seems to me, dear sisters, that the well coming privilege belongs largely to us, for are we not the home keepers? It is ours to welcome our loved ones after their day of trial and study; also to welcome guests to the home. Do we appreciate and make as much of the privilege as we might? Does husband know that whatever have been the cares and annoyances of the day, he will receive glad smile of welcome upon his return home? Do the little ones feel sura that Mamma is anx- iously waiting for them and will meet them with loving smile and kind word ? When they first started to school and we were left alone, how joyfully we welcomed them on their return, gath ering them close in our embrace while they confided to us the days experi- ences. Now that they have outgrown their childish ways, are they just as certain of a loving welcome?
 Do we welcome their friends gladly to our home circle? If perchance the children are scattered, do we strive to keep the home influence strong about e-'Ciii DS AiCduShI HiCSooSCc, oo ticy may know that a warm welcome awaits them still? It has been said of many who strayed into bypaths that they did so because nobody cared. Let it not be said of any of our loved ones.
 Sisters, let us make the most of our welcoming privilege, for in it lies a means of bringing much happiness into the lives of those about us and making our little corner of this dear old world much brighter.
