ANTIQUES TESTED RECIPES.

To the Editor and Social CorneH
Sisters: I send greetings. I am glad
to hear from all of you If only through
the columns of The Bulletin. have
been very much interested in the
recipes. They are a great help "a
young housekeeperB. l am sending
some old and tested ones that may be
liked. This is my first attempt at
writing, which 1 hope will be wed
come.
Cheap Loaf caloe-Four cups Of su-
gar, 2 cups of butter, eggs, 2 nut
meg, rub sugar and butter; add the
eggs well beaten. Take one-half OF
the above, add three cups of warm
milk,one yeast cake made in a sponge
and flour to make quite stiff. Raise
until quite light; then add the other
with raisins and citron: add a little
This makes five loaves. This is the
cake my mother used to make.
Mock Mincs Pie-I cup OF sour milk,
1 cup sugar, l cup raisins, chopped
not very fine, eggs. / teaspoon OF
cloves, l teaspoon cinnamon and a
little nutmeg, pepper and salt. Bake
with two crusts.
EscalIoped Steak-Chop a Mound Of
cold beefsteak fine, add three large
crackers rolled fine. a generous lump
Of butter, one cup Of water, and salt
and pepper to taste. Put in a deep
basin, cover with three rolled crack
ers, and bake like escalloped corn.
This is good enough to tempt one
sometimes to cook the steak on pur-
pose for this use.
Yankee Doughnuts-Two cups of
| milk, I cup of lard, cups Of sugar.
eggs, l cup of yeast, salt and nut
meg; do not melt the lard, measure
in a small sized cup and rub into the
flour; mix hard and let IT stand until
very light. They require long time
to rise. usually. After they are nicely
raised, roll, cut out, let stand again
until light. Then fry and roll in pull

interior of a saloon. They were curl
osities to him. He satisfied this curl
osity. Today he fills a drunkard's
grave. and brolSen-hearted white
haired parents mourn for their boy.
If they only had him back again,
what would they not do; but it is too
late.
Dear young mothers, warn your lit
tie ones while you still have them with
you.
Grandparents, aunts and uncles liv
ed in a different age. There was not
the temptation for young people that
exists at the present time.
This Is q wicked age, and an
enormous responsibility rests on the
father and mother that has a family to
bring up.
We all make mistakes, and it seems
to me that it is a duty for mothers
that have their little ones raised to
warn the younger mothers of the dan
gers that are before them.

HOW THE SOCIAL CORNER HELPS

Dear Corner Friends: To tell few
ways in which il is possible for the
Social Corner to be helpful to each
member, is my desire.
First-The Social Corner may be
looked upon as a "reviver." After we
assume the various responsibilities Of
settled life, we are more than liable
70 fall behind in our writing, spelling
and grammar; and especially is this
true Of housewives and mothers whose
duties are too numerous to permit of
much time for a review Of the sub
jects Of the old schooldays. To such,
al least, the Social Corner may be
looked upon as a reviver.
Second-f the Corner revives our
interest in the events Of our youth
then it should help us to keep young
Ellen Key. the great woman reform
er. says: Getting old is no necessity.
II is merely a bad habit
Now, then, let's call on the Social
Corner when we feel that we are
drifting into the bad habit of getting
old"
Third-Few of US will not admit that
il was with fear and trembling we
awaited the results of our first con-
trfbution to the Corner. When we
learned that it failed to land in the
EDITORS wastebasket it was with just
q wee bit more courage that we sent
the next letter on It's way. Courage,
then, Is another quality which the
Social Corner promotes.
But. most of ALL does it give cour-
age to the inexperienced cook, who
must be declared a hopeless case if
she fails in mastering the art of
rookery after persistent experiments
with the countless tested recipes Of
feTed by different Corner friends.
Fourth-Alert We must be, if we
would make the Corner a success and
the pride Of its editor. Always on
the look out for new ideas. hints and
suggestions which will help each 9TH
er. BY imparting our ideas to others
We ourselves become better able to
carry ont those same ideas in our own
work
Fifth-The Corner surely is the place
to show that virtue known as un-
selfshness. The subjects which in
crest the majority Of our Corner
friends are the subjects we should
mold 10. and endeavor to awaken our
interest In everything that is for the
broadening OF the intellect. II we try,
we can see something good IN every
writer's idea. and we must never re-
fuse TO see the truth however it may
.,a brought 10 our attention
xth-Perseverau and patience 20
hand in hand. One is not complete
81 .hout the other. And nowhere can
re practice these qualities to better
sdeantage than IN the Social Corner.
n our iGeas do not make us winners
at once, let us persevere and be pa
tient. Some time we shall hit the
subject which will win.
Seventh-Considera is another
trait which the Social Corner should
nelp US to cultivate. Considerable of
each others feelings, endeavoring al

FRANK OFFERS A SUBJECT
FOR DISCUSSION.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of the
Social Corner: I am pushing for the
last train that win take me to the So
clal Corner of this week, after reading
all your good and enjoyable letters
which have cheered me so much.
l wish to thank you all for the in
terest shown me in my illness. This
being leap year, 1 would like your
opinions in regard to womaD'S propos-
ing. 1t is certainly not the woman's
place: and If she is not worth pro-
posing to and asking for. she is GER
tainly not worth having.
Men are willing to be brave and
propose themselves, as they ought to
do.
What has become Of some of the
older members? 1t has been a long
time since some have written. Hope
none are too i'll to write. 1t Is getting
late, and the train will leave me, go ]
close with greetings to all members of
the Social Corner. FRANK.

woman's rights department, but if the
women making up this social coterie
want to talk about the rights they en-
Joy or the tights denied TO them, they
are going to have the privilege. Per-
feet freedom Is guaranteed within re-
spectful limits.
THE NEWCO0TERS-The newcon-

Corner now has members from Au-
Eusta, Me, to Seattle, Wash, and
from Chicopee, Mass, to Florida. Ev-
cry reader should realize that they
may come in
THE OLDER MEMBERS - Two
years make, quite a change in the
personnel o. the Social Corner writ
ers: but The Bulletin feels grateful
70 those who became contributors at
the start and have been faithful ever
since. and realizes that some OF the
early writers have earned the right
20 be entertained awhile. There was
splendid work done by the writer's of
early days-they laid the foundation
Of the Social Corner and prepared
the way for its many eXcellencies.
To the Members: It pains the editor
20 see late letters from Centennial
Square, Nat. and others waiting in the
pigeon hole. The letters will come
right along in their turn.

A WELCOME HIGH SCHOOL GIRL.

Dear Social Corner: wonder II
there's room in the Corner for a little
high school girl? / won't be able to
write sch interesting letters IS the
older Sisters, but I'll try to do my part
I wonder il wouldn't know some Of
the Sisters. as l was born and brought
up in Connecticut; even If now / live
in Massachusetts. I have always loved
the country and it was my misfortune,
l think, that have TO live in the city.
1 usually spend my summers down
on the farm" In Connecticut and enjoy
it, I can tell you. Girls who don't
know what farm is, don't realize
what they're missing.
Next time I write I'll tell yc- N
about school and what do there.
1 should like to hear from some other
high school girls. We can't talk about
houseworll, or give recipes, but we can
tell about our school fun.
