Hope we would have better luck than Hulda when she went on her pleasure trip; but she has given us all a good warning, so when we start out we'll take a full basket of good things to eat, and they can be made from the good recipes the sisters have sent in.

USEFUL HINTS FROM FRANK.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner! If you have a floor so uneven that your oilcloth shows Streaks of wear, fill the cracks with sawdust to make floor as level as possible, then cover with news papers and there will be no more trou- ble-
 To cut thin silk which pulls out of shape under a pattern, haste the edges of silk to a newspaper and cut through paper and all. This will work all right.
 Dear Dreamer: We agree on the question of proposals. It is related of a member of Governor Patterson's staff, when introduced to g maid of honor, fell in love on sight and pCo- posed within 30 minutes. He wasn't slow in speaking for himself

GRANDMA's SENTIMENTS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: l have been so interested in reading what the Sisters write about neighbor- ly kindness. There is too little love and friendship shown to one another in this cold world. Why do we wait until our friends are gone before we speak the words of love and apprecia- ton? The kind words we mean to speak after our friends are dead should be spoken now, before 1t Is too late. while they can hear and be strength ened and comfOrted by them. The most eloquent eulogy can do our lOvsd ones no good when they are lying cold and silent before US. Oh! it is too true. We know not how we love them 'til they are gone"
 We cover the fey form with flowers that they can neither see nor enjoy. Flowers which, had they been sent day by day would have cheered and frightened so many weary hours.
 No one ever regrets a loving word spoken. A kindness, be it ever so small, shown to one who Is gone. Our only thought is: T might have made the life of the dear one brighter and happier but did not. and now it is too late. They are gone. past recall. Tears may fall, but they will not bring the precious life back
 But those who are left: let us bring sunshine and tenderness to them while we may. Life is short at best. We know not when the cold hand of death will be placed on our brow. and the

DoLLIE SPEAKS UP FOR DADDY

Dear Friends of the Social Corner: must tell you how much I did enjoy reading the letter written for the So- cial Corner by Queen Bess. She cer- tainly is Daddy's queen. and l am glad to know there is one girl who thinks of Daddy, as well as 1 did when I had one of the best and kindest Daddy's the sun ever shone on.

Dear Sisters: Our Editor must be as busy as a bee and as patient as set ting hen know just how that is, as l have 2S hens setting. I have an in- cubator and brooder, but like hen matched chickens better. I set three hens at 6 time with Il eggs under each, when the weather was cold; but now put Is under. I save all the old calendars and cut the dates on which l set them and paste on each nest box. About the eighth day I test the eggs, taking. out the unfertile ones and if possible put the eggs left under two hens. l have two lots of chickens so rar
 The first didn't hatch quite as well as l expected probably the weather was too cold. The last eggs were un- der a large and 8 small hen. The larger one matched every egg, while the smaller, although as good a setter, and right on the job" matched only half, which l think was because being small she hadn't heat and size to keep the eggs warm enough.
 l went over my flock and picked out two year old hens, the best size. and color. If people would be more par ticular to make pen they would find their stock much improved.

NAMES CREAM PUFFS AND
 SPONGE CAKE.

Dear Social Corner Friends I have been a silent reader of the Social Cor ner for quite a while, and, as Bluebird says, can remain an outsider no long CT.
 have found many good recipes among those sent in by the sisters.
 Bluebird: I Isend my recipe, which think is fine, for Cream Puffs-Take one cup cold water and half cup but ter and boil together. While boiling stir in one cup sifted flour, stirring constantly until smooth. Then set away to cool When perfectly cold add three unbeaten eggs and a little salt. Drop in small spoonful on a butt red pan and bake for one-half hour in moderate oven or until surely done. some fill them with whipped cream, but l make the following cream: Heat one pint of milk till almost boiling. then add thickening made of one egg, two tablespoons sugar, two table | spoons flour, a pinch of salt, and a lit- tie milk. Boil until it thickens and when cold add the flaVoring. Hope you will like this.
 Frozen: If you had been here today you could have seen the wind clean carpets in Connecticut. It certainly is an easy way. I have relatives in Maine | --1AN 'S oAAA WSlAuCAAuS II yVu i've uG1I Bangor.
 Ready: I enjoy reading your letters very much. May have 6 place on that woodbox?
 Rural Delivery and Hulda: think your stories were just fine and hope you will come again. I will send a recipe for Sponge Cake which think is very fine.
 Sponge Cake-Take one cup flour one generous teaspoon baking pow der and sift together three times Break two eggs in a bowl and beat un- til light; then add one cup of sugar; i stir well, then add one-half cup cold water and one teaspoon lemon and stil until well blended Then add the pre- pared four and beat fine. Bake in g hot oven. Never put in a just warn oven, as this will surely spoil it.
 Am afraid I am writing too long g letter for newcomer, 30 will stoI with best wishes to all tho Corner. l MAMIE,
