TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FROM
 EDDY.

Dear Social Cornerites: Some time has expired since l have greeted you; but here I am again.
 What lovely weather we are having. We were all greeted Sunday with a thunder shower. Not very healthy weather-do you think it is?
 Theoda. Yes, I did meet you, and had a very delightful ride on the car with you; and I have "cackled" ever since. As for my golden egg" laid one some time ago and guess 1t must be "cased'' for the winter. How can I ever gain your forgiveness for neg lecting to mention our meeting? Per haps in the near future I can have your dignified presence in my home, and if that be the case 1 will give you a chafing dish supper; only let me know, so I can tie my dog up.
 Here are few reliable and useful hints:
 A nice way to use up empty crochet spools is to cover them with skirts and pad the top. Behold, you have nice little pin cushion.
 In doing a lot of basting just thread up a lot of needles on to a spool of thread and take them off as needed.
 In boiling cabbage, find 1t good plan to tie it up in a bag and then immerse it in the boiling water. When done all you have to do is to lift out the bag.
 When pairing beets, just dip them in cold water while hot and the skins will peel right off.
 In washing a turkey, just lay 1t om fN~o # 1or 1c a+ sT,T |, boiler and pour boiling water in but not to touch the turbey. The turkey must be all ready for the oven previ- ousIy. Steam one hour, then wash in the usual way. You never know how old turkey is when you buy 1t at the store, and if done in this way you are sure it will be tender. In making buttonhoIes in goods that a large knife before taking from. the i bread mixer I turn the crank with my right hand and cut the dough with my left hand. Half the kneading Is done this way.
 To those having small room for wood, just try packing it in a piano box. It is surprising how much 1t will hold. n making huttonhoIes in goods that | fray and pull out before the buttonfole is done, just try my way of machine stitching around the place where it is 1 to be worked and then work in the usual way.
 If you are bothered in opening a Mason jar, just set the jar bottom side up in a pan of hot water a short time and it will open easily.
 Just try using white paper napkins on the table under plates and see what a lot of washing it will save you. They can be bought in any five and ten cent store for ten cents per hundred. Crochet work should never be ironed | Wash, dip in boiled starch, and then pull out in shape and haste or pin on sheets and lay in sun to dry.
 After you take your bread from 1 the oven, run slice of fat pork over 1 the top. It will soften the crusts anC one will never know it from butter if you don't tell them.
 To keep lamps from smelling, be sure and turn the wick way dowr when you blow the lamp out.
 In taking up ashes, I find it a nice way to lay a newspaper down and sci | IHe dSu pan III IL, lHeH gather up pal and paper and you will save youl floor; for how hard it is to carry ar ashpan full of ashes out through door when the wind blows and no have them blown into the room.
 In making cake for home use, make double batch and one-half O it goes into a layer cake; then I adt to the rest a little molasses, spice cocoa, and fruit, sometimes, and, be hold. I have a nice dark cake, I al ways have good luck, too.
 1 will have to close now. For tn benefit of "A Reader and now a So cial Corner sister. I will say, Did yo1 get your trunk home safely?
