DO NOT LOOK FOR THoRNs.

Editor and Social Corner Friends June is the month of roses! Beautiful are the roses first in bud-how like a sweet young girl, waiting to grad uate.
 June is truly called the brides month and the sweet girl graduate is but a few steps from the bride
 Second-The roses in bloom: How very beautiful and dainty she looks as she mods upon her stem in the gar den She spreads out in the fullness of her heart like the sweet girl that was, and now is a mother. Yes, the mother beautiful in her love for her dear little buds.
 Third-But the breezes of life will blow and cares upon cares will fol- low. The roses leaves are strewn on the ground. But has not the beautiful happened? Life is not all path of rOses-there are thorns to be found there also: but why should we look for the thorn
 Fourth-The life of the rose is short. but have you ever stopped to think how much joy sine brings with her in the hands of the sweet girl graduate, in the hands of the bride in the wee hands of the sick child, the old feeble hands of man or wOman2 She mods her pretty head and she sheds delicate perfume in the room of the sick See also the love she brings. The rose is not called life.
 F'ifth-But see how much more out of life we could get If we were only more like our beautiful queen rose Beauty she is, sweet. also joy! She can give love, also-so we have beau ty, Joy-what more can one ask of life? Don't look for the thorns. Trou- ble comes to all. but don't seek after 1t. Take all We can out of what we have. Be like the rose-sweet, beauti- ful, loving give what joy we can, and when life is ended the Great Gar dener will gather us in His arms away from all life's storms.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE PATIENT
 " DIRECTED.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner. Sometimes we blame children for mussing up the home Did you ever think that it Is often our fault instead of theirs? Try having hooks about 3 feet from the floor on which to hang their wraps; nails near the cabinet to hang their dish washing aprons on; and 8 certain handy place for san dals, etc.
 Have boxes for their paper dolls, post cards and other things they are interested in just now. Make them feel that these things are strictly theirs. and they alone are responsible for the appearance of that pSrt of the home.
 This gives them the feeling of own ership and pride.
 Our children will be what we want them to be if we are strong enough in our desire-stron genough to sacri- fee time and have patience to teach them. *@s

COMMON EMBROIDERY BY J. E. r

Social Corner Folks: Skim -Nfilk Elm broidery-like codfish aristocracy-fF; not the genuine thing, but a very good imitation. and if not scrutinized mi nutely will pass.
 l tried the embroidery on a gineham apron. Before turning the hem I took a large spool, put it on the gingharn. marked around if. then stitched the marking with thread on my ma-
 chine, twice, just thread apart. Then 1 took some crochet cotton and a hook and put hook under the stitches. one inner and one outer stitch and made an E c single crochet (the cotton GOV
 cred the stitches). leaving a, little
 space between each of the circles; then turn your hem and it covers the wrong side. This is quite pretty done with silkateen in outing flannel for a skirt or dressing sack or 3 ginghan1 pillow cover. One can vary the design and make a leaf or heart.

MERINGUE THAT WILL NOT
 WRINKLE,

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: What nice weather we are having! Most too nice to stay in and clean house: no doubt most of you are are through. I ought to be, as 1 be- gar early enough.
 Ma: 1 want to thank you, in re- plying to my request. 1 appreciate it thoroughly. Shall save the letter for future use-may have occasion to use t, which I hope I won't.
 Farmers Wife: I notice onelet rec ipes for you in last letter; none like this which 1 like best of all; only kind make:
 Fsam omeIet-For family of six use six eggs: separate yolks and whites; beat yolks light add pepper and salt, about one tablespoon milk to an egg. add to yolks- Beat whites dry and stiff; add little salt; place butter size of butternut in spider, when melted or hot put in yolks; when they are set spread whites on top; set in oven two or three minutes, then take out and fold one-half over; place on hot plat ter and serve at once. No omelet is good to let stand. Use no flour in this omelet.
 A sister called for Merineue that would not wrinkle when cut. Try this:
 Whites of two eggs for a pie. Beat until stiff and dry; or so when plate is turned upside down, the egg will adhere to it (use silver fork instead of egg beater), then add gradually l level tablespoon of fine granulated su gar to each egg: beat hard flavor to suit taste: beat again; place on pie in spoon fulls (rougher it Is put on prettier it looks when taken from the oven). Be sure not have oven too hot, as it will rise too quick. only to fall when taken out. Do not place where cold air will strike it when first taken from oven. Better place back of stove a few moments.

An exciting story was told at an in.

loss Of the steamer Eastern Counties,
which turned turtle about four miles
south of the Spurn Lightship, several
lives being lost. 1t was stated that
there was large deck cargo, and that
the steamer was unsteady. OF the
Humber she took a pronounced list.
The master ordered the engines to be
slowed. called all hands on deck, or
dered everyone to take lifebelts. and
sounded the whistle as signal OF dis

the idea OF Bleaching the vessel on the
south shore, but she turned right over
and fioated bottom up. Some OF those
on board climbed over the port rail
and got on the bottom of the ship as
she turned turtle.

Once more women have triumphed
at the Royal academy For the sec

has been won by a female student,
while OF the fourteen prizes offered
no less than ten have been carried
on by women. In presenting these
and congratulating Miss Margaret VIII
liams on her brilliant achievement the
president of the Royal academy paid
high tribute to the perseverance and
the talent Of women artists; but again.
we ask, why is it not recognized by

show their fitness to compete with
men for the honor of admission to as.
