THE WAY PATIENCE REPAIRS.

Dear Social Sisters: I see some one wants to know how to piece a quilt on machine. Take old sheets, flour sacks or anything and cut in squares 10 or 12 inches Cut all kinds of prints and ginghams into strips inch wide for the center. Take choco- late and white. or something that will answer for either and haste in center of block from one corner to the other (what some call kitty -corner), then the rest is done on your machine. All light stripes on one side and dark on the other. At each corner put a half square and be sure all half squares are same size. You can put them to- gether several ways as one can log cabin. If the goods are striped l always try to cut crosswise or bias, as they are so much prettier, and it makes no difference what the grain of the cloth is. After all are stitched to- gether on machine put in loose lining. Flour sacks dyed make good Things; then bind, and it is finished.

 THE GREATEST WOMAN,

Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: Once a COrnerite, always a COrnerite. as one of the Sisters expressed it, proves true There is a charm about writing for the Social Corner which draws one back like a magnet. Not that it was diff cult to be drawn back. Oh, no! You are all such a helpful, jolly crowd.
 Ready: Thanks for the permission to sit beside Papa's Boy or Billie, and when it is the social to be? and how shall we know who's who? Why not wear something suggestive of our pen names? I can hardly wait for the oc- CasiOn.
 Papa's Boy: I am all excited to think you are really coming for me in your auto. What fUrore you will create on my quiet street! An auto coming right to my door; and now do tell me just what shade of red your car is painted, so l may have a scarf just the right shade to harmonize with if.
 Peggy Anne: I am neither near nor far from a Congregational church.
 Cherisette: I shall hardly venture any more mind pictures of the Sisters if fell so far short before. But will surely look for 2 new henhouse when Papas Boy takes me out In his auto, and will think that must be Cheri- Sett9'S.
 Dolly: Where are you? rs school work so arduous? or--whisper it softly flor It's leap year, are congratulations in order? If so, bring him to the woodbox social.
 Antique: Who's who? was de- lighted to be able to say among SC many mysteries There! ] know whc that is. That loaf cake and Yankee doughnuts was a give away. Let me tell all you Corner Sisters if you want some of the best ever' doughnuts and rig cake, just try those recipes. Many Of you would have tested them if you only knewl
 One of Them: Your letter rings true but you know the old saying. Many men of many minds" also. Variety is the spice of life" also, the Corner Wouldn't what you suggest be unwise

When the bottoms of hubby's coat

When the bottoms of hubby's coat sleeves are getting worn, rip them thoroughly brush, haste black angora dress braid on the wrong side where hem turns, then put on your machine and stitch several rows-the more the better; then turn and hem again, and it will last a long time. Also fix the pants hems the same way. When the seats Of pants are getting thin, take d thin piece of cloth and haste on seat, both front and back of seam, and cut shape of the pants and stitch them; stitch the seams with the old seams, put a piece of white tape over seams and stitch on both sides. The first time you will find it quite job, but if you pin it on first you can get it good and smooth before basting; then when seat is getting real thin, darn to the patches and when there are. holes, cut the rags out and turn the edges under and your pants are all patched.

When you make a new work dress be sure and get enough cloth for an apron; wear it until 1t gets faded a little, then lay away until sleeves are getting worn, rip out sleeves. but pair from your apron and you will have sleeves to last until dress is wolE out I save all the old sleeves for patches. I also line the waist of all wrappers with the same, then when a hole comes, cut out the rags and hem down the edges and your hole is mended, and with care and skill, one will never notice it has been mended.
 These are all my own ideas and such a help. Never patch a garment with new cloth, it not only looks bad but # doesn't wear good.
 Now, sisters, I want to tell you how to save washing in winter: for petit coats get either plain black, or black with white stripe, galatea cloth Qt's like hubby's shirts), and make skirts and they are nothing to wash, require no starchlng, and keep clean a long time and do not fade. I also make my work dresses of it. and they will outwear three print dresses. It saves in making, washing and mending. Just try them, sisters, and you never will wear print, if you wish to save work again. This galatea cloth comes in cOlors as well, also figured and check ed. l always pick out one with a plain back (by that I mean when fig ures or stripes don't show through and I cut blas strips and trim with wrong side up, or face the skirt up on the right side, the wrong side up, then it makes and wears alike. I al ways make quite deep hem as it shrinks quite a little q sometimes shrink the cloth hrsO, then by hand bind hem with black braid; when ready to wash l rip off braid, rip cut hem and wash. Always hang a dress skirt by the band. keeps shape better and dries quicker; then when my skirt is ironed I turn 1t up the length required. The braid saves the edge of hem wearing.
 l also make my work aprons (Moth- CT Hubbard style) of galatea, too.
 When your stocking feet are beyond mending cut the sole out, cut just the shape of it and where the stitches are narrowed for the heel cut up those stitches (proVidlng your heel Is whole at baCh) cut out sOles from the pieces you have-cut no larger, no smaller. and lengthwise of goods. pin at toe also where corners of heel sets in them, whip the edges together and your stocking is nearly as good as new, providing you do your work good
 In mending stockings always get the cotton that comes ?. 8 or strands together, and when mending only take one strand. draw each stitch together, then darn back and forth lengthwise all around it, and that makes the heel strong. Don't wait until you get a big hole and darn it like basket work They dent look nice, and feel very un- comfortable besides

TRY TO BE ORDERLY
HAVE PLACE FOR EVERYTHlNG
AND KEEP 1T THERE.
The Topsy-TurVy Girl Finds II Hard
to Live or Work in Cramped
Quarters--Be Neat at
Any Cost.

It is hard to keep crowded quarters
neat, as the girl Of one room or the
housekeeper of a small house sorrow
fully knows. In days when there were
great linen chests, huge closets and
fewer belongings, the problem was
simpler Then our grandparents made
a fetish Of neatness.
If only in the interest Of ones
nerves a place for everything needed
should be cultivated 1t is not restfuI
to hunt madly for gloves or overshoes
to make hay in y drawer in desperate
search for a missing article to turn
household upside down with frantic
cries, Mother, where is my hat?'
Who's taken my mileage book? |
know I'll miss the train"
The girl who works must be neat
and in order Mere surface cleanness
will not do, II there is lack Of system
there are sure to be painful mistakes
and sharp reprimands For her own
sake a girl should be orderly; the
timo taken hunting ones belongings
is that much time lost, Work in ar
rears is bad business.
The easiest way to be orderly is to
learn that It is as easy to put an ar.
ticle In one place as another 1t Is
not difficult to acquire places for
everything and keep those things
placed, The easy-going girl does not
realize uAtil she has a reputation for
being sloyen how far from nice she
is.
Another cure for disorder Is elimira
tion, Cut down your belongings II
you live In cramped quarters make
the elimination drastic, 1t Is surpris
ing how much we can get along with
out, TO own no more things at one
time than one needs means a more
placid life,
II naturally careless and without
early training in neatncss, a woman
should take herself severely IN hand,
She should determine to be neat at
any cost This means living more
slowly. Half the secret Of misplaced be
longings is planning more for our day
than there are hours for accomplish
