AN ANNIVERSARY SUGGESTION.

Dear Mir. Editor: Do you believe in celebrating anniversariesI
 Would 1t not be good idea to ob- serve the second anniversary of our Social Corner?
 Why not have a debate? The woman suffrage question Is a mighty interest ing topic and something every woman should know about
 Mrs. R., Aunt Jule and A Dreamer are making great strides for womans rights, and they are all right, too; but In order to interest another class I think a debate on What has the So- cial Corner done for mel" would be an interesting topic.
 I also hope to see the domestic de- partment hold It's own, for there are new readers and writers all the time, and many fine recipes have been pub lished and saved by members. We can hardly afford to lose this department
 l think this Is the hardest time of the year to keep the table supplied with variety of edibles. This is the time our preserve closet is most ap- preciated. am sending you a recipe that is much liked in our family and is also very wholesome for children:
 A Rice Dessert-BoH as much rice as you require in boiling, slightly salt ed water until it is cooked; set one side to cool; when cold, put on indi- vidual dishes and add two or three tablespoons of strawberry preserve. Whipped cream can be added if de- sired, but it is nice without it.
 Raspberry, blackberry, quince or any other preserve you like can take the place of the strawberry. M. D. M.

SILVER SENTENCES LEMON PIE.

Dear Social Corner Friends: My sympathies are so aroused for poor Nat. I feel as if I must call on you all, though this is a bitter cold day to go calling, yet the Social Corner is so full of loving interest for each other l shall surely feel warm enough among its members.
 I hope each one enjoyed the holiday season to the fullest extent, and that the New Year finds, you looking for ward to the glad anticipation of its future, which, though some of them may fail in the reality, yet we may be sure there was some good reason and wise purpose In the deferring of plans and purposes.
 I think I must have overlooked a paper, as I missed the Social Corner one week and wondered if you had all gone to Leonard Bridge to sit on our dear Ready's woodbox.
 If so, I would have to start at once and make a house to house canvass for Ready and that woodbox.
 Look out, Nat, and don't let Jane Ann get ahead of you on the voting question. Remember that when 8 woman says it's so, it is 80, in her mind, and it's one of the hardest things in this life to change it.
 l see M. E. H. has given us one of her nice Lebanon pie recipes. Now I will add mine and stop before I am put out of the Corner and miss of that woodbox pleasure.
 Lemon Merineue-The yolks of two eggs, one cup sugar, the juice of ono lemon, one cup milk, two tablespoons flour or cornstarch; mix thoroughly and bake as a custard, using the whites of the eggs for frosting. and set in the oven a few minutes to brown slightly.

lNeENIUs AUNT INEVITABLE.

Dear Sisters: I had not intended to remain silent for so long; neither have I been sitting on the veranda all the time since my last letter There have been a few days lately when the south side of a radiator seemed more attrac- tive than the sunniest corner of the veranda.
 The interesting and helpful Social Corner letters have dealt with so many subjects that it is rather difficult to find anything new to write about However l have lately learned some thing which possibly is not known to all the family.
 It Is that surgeons adhesive plaster. so useful for cuts and wounds, is use ful in so many other ways that 1t is worth while to keep 1t always on hand. The druggist will sell you little tin box containing one yard of plaster one inch in width for ten cents; or a paper box, containing ten yards of plaster one inch in width, for sixty cents.
 When I sent a cake to the church supper I wrote my name on the back of a piece of surgeons adhesive plas- ter and fastened the plaster on to the plate I had no difficulty in recovering my plate and the label thereon has survived many dish washings. In the same manner tin boxes containing su- gar, salt, coffee and so forth have been clearly and permanently labeled.
 By liberal application of the plas- ter leaks in my hot water bag were stopped I applied a strip of plaster lengthwise of the leak. and another strip over and at right angles to the first In some places the plaster has to be renewed frequently, but that Is better than buying a new bag at the present price of rubber.
 When the lining of my handbag broke away from the frame strip of the plaster restored 1t to place. Then with generous portion of Le Page g glue I fastened piece of ribbon the color of the lining over the plaster
 Perhaps some of the sisters know or will discover some other uses for this very useful article.
 This is Uncle Mats shining oppor- unity to demonstrate the superiority of the masculine mind. Surely he can tell us something of which no woman would ever think.
 With kind regards from your Uncle Zolvah and myself to all the Social Corner family.
 Sincerely yours, AUNT MEHITABLE.

THE MESSAGE OF A FLOWER.

Social Corner Editor: An author once said to me he could tell what a book was by reading the first three pages. I thought after I had sent those childish "reminiscences, the first three sentences might be sufficient to carry it to the waste basket, and l was bit surprised to see 1t in print.
 Pen pictures are hard to make, but Christmas every day. was grand. There are few whom the true Christ mas spirit cannot sway, but I think mood and environment might be called twin sisters.
 Nature is ever changing. Today as look on the fields white with snow it seems only little while since they were white with daisies It will not be long and those pretty flowers will be with us again.
 When child, a neighbor always en- tertained me by telling fairy stories; and the idea seems to stay by me. That spirit dwells in every flower; that every flower brings a message; and 1t was never more thoroughly demonstrated than when my night blooming cereus blossomed last fall. As l watched the buds unfold leaf after leaf, looking so pure and white in the light of the full harvest moon, I can hardly tell which predominated, ad- miration or awe, as l tried to compre- bend somewhat the power of the divine hand by which it was created.
 This was the message as 1t came to me: Labor is worship; work while the day lasts; be faithful, remembering the time Is short. Good byi l don't know If 1 shall come again, for 1t Is a long walk over the mountain from the little hamlet of WYAMRUS.

 There is a little winter weather up our way. and I guess you all realize it, too.
 Sister Ready: Thanks for the Christ mas cards. They were worry pretty. I'd wear a wrapper if I could swing on your woodbox with Nat and Jane Ann in purple stockings and a waist trim med in red. Nat, cannot you afford a peacock's feather to wear in your hat |? Never mind Who's Who ?"-it Is the prize that dresses one up.
 Dear Sisters: l submit a hint or two:
 When a new shoe seems tight and stln over a joint in any particular spot, try pressing against the lining with the curved hook of a boot button CT, stretching the leather outward. sometimes shoe it seems impossi- ble to wear may be made perfectly comfortable by few minutes of such treatment
 Do not put any other cake in the same pan or tin with fruit cake, and do not raise oftener than necessary the ild, which should be kept tightly clos ed. The less air it gets the longer it Keeps moist and fresh, and the richer r becomes m flavor, unless the goat eats the tin for breakfast.
 l am still gaining in health and hope to come again.
 Long life to all the members of the Social Corner.

A scHooL-TEsTINe SUGGESTION

Dear friends who are interested in school work, wouldn't it be a good idea if the scholars of each town could come together at least once in a year and Vie with one another for first place in their studies; that is, make the school winning the contest the banner school of the town in which 1t is located?
 Couldn't the school board. acting school visitor and supervisor make out an examination to be verbally an swered and having blackboards for the arithmetic work? Then match the scholars of the same grades from the different districts. This would interest the children as well as the people in the town. Often times teacher is criticised for this and that, but no one seems anxious to inquire into the amount of knowledge that the children under the teacher have acquired. Just put the children in match once in a while and see whether they are with or ahead of their own grades in other schools. or course, the children and teachers not to know when such a test is to come.
 I do not know whether this idea could be carried out or not, but doesn't anyone interested think something of the sort would be helpful to all?
 Will Sister Granger Mrs. L. E. of Lyme grange, write something about grange work? I think several of the correspondents would enjoy it.
