THEoDA's SURPRISE OF SUR.
 PRfSES.

Dear Editor of the Social Corner and Friends: I have been a particd- pant in a number of surprises in times past, but the greatest one was when I received the yellow paper inform ing me that I had won first prize, for which I heartily thank the editor
 l was not sure that f1 was me- for some time; but think the oracIes Of success must have been in the bot tom of Married and Happy's coffee Aunty was bound to bestow upon us. Anyway, it was surprising where the '-nigger in the woodpile" got out
 The hints on sewing have been varied and helpful
 Sunshine: 4 nice card was received from you some time ago. Thanks.
 Potlatch: Pretty card received. will answer soon.
 Hepatica: Perhaps we might find you if we had such a competent guide as you have. I have been waiting to dt- rect1y send you thanks for the cute card it was my good fortune to re- ceive, and hope I may have that pleas ure yet.
 And now another stranger, Hermipa, steps in and makes bold acquaintance right and left; the mystery deepens, and we are forced to believe you are disciples of May Vanderbilt.

COOKIES THAT MELT IN YOUF
 MOUTH.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cta1 Corner: May be allowed to join the family circle? Have been reading the Social Corner letters for some time, and enjoy them so much.
 Will send a few tested recipes:
 Western Molasses Cake-One cup best New Orleans moIasses stirred stiff with flour; butter the size of an egg; yolk of one egg; one cup hot water. and one teaspoon of soda dissolved in the hot water: spices to taste; mix as given and bake in three layers; take the white of the egg and make frost ing and spread between and on top. This Is extra nice.
 Old fashioned Ginger Cookies-one cup of sour milk or buttermi1z; one cup light brown sugar; one cup mo- IaSseS; one cup melted lard; two slightly rounding teaspoons soda; one tablespoon ginger: a generous pinch of salt, and sufficient four to make a soft dough: this will require about five c1pft1is. depending on the kind of flour used. Measure the lard after 1t is melt ed; sift the ginger into the flour; place the soda in the measuring cup and poaar the mofaSses on 1t, stirring it un- til 1t foams; then add to the other in gradients and stir in the flour as brisk 1y as possible. Roll out one-Quarter of an inch thick and bake in brisk oven.
 The best results are obtained by using less four than seems necessary when mixing the dough, and allowing 1t to stand one-half hour or more be- fore rolling out. This gives the short ening a chance to harden and the mix ture will be found quite easy to handle on a, lightly foured board
 The writer of this recipe has often mixed the dough at night and baked the cakes in the morning., with excel lent results.
 These cookies when properly made are the kind which melt in your mouth,'' and little experience will show how much flour to use in order to have the cakes delicate.
 Best wishes from
 GENTIAN.

WHY l LIKE THE SOCIAL CORNER

Dear Editor and Friends: When I first became interested in the Social Corner I was confined much of the time to the house. Reading was then about my only pleasure. I was much longer over the morning paper than ever before possible. and SO began reading the Corner letters instead of "slSimmtng' them. It was not long be- fore daring thought entered my head
 I would write a letter! And write one I did. only with some difficulty, for when l heard anyone coming I would close my desk and busy myself about something else. for I wanted to keep 1t a secret. The letter read pretty good to me and sounded better when, mak- ing sure l was alone, I read 1t aloud
 Later In the day I read it again. but somehow it didn't sound as good. and the next day it sounded less good, had begun to get "cold feet I didn't believe it was geod enough to send.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

bed crac4Iled work. made entirely of the smaller pieces of the coats. The seams were all worked in fancy stitches with the remains of the en- broidery cotton. It really rssembled the crazy patchwork of our mothers day; but Theoda assured me 1t was the latest style.
 Aunty meantime was teaching Aunt Mehit how to cover button moIds with the black silk of the bonnet. This took time and Patience; and 1t was evident to all of us that Aunt Mehit's special ty was missionary meetings and not button molds.
 Aunty called for 8 tape measure, the box of white headed pins and the tai1or's chalk. These I found readily. Then she wanted a hammer. sono have all these things in my summer home, but not in my winter one, so all could find was a hairpin. a crochet hook, a can opener and stove poker
 Aunty, not 8 bit discouraged, said these would do nicely. and she fell to work with a will. and by judicious cutting and good management she made 8 beautiful cover for the sofa from the 19-gored skirt.
 Aunt Mehit had meantime covered ten dozen and three button molds, which Aunty with the help of the crochet hook used to tuft the sofa with

 We gathered up what was left which was the ball of red twine, the wire bonnet frame and the empty box which had contained the embroidery cotton.
 Aunt Mehit said Save them.''
 Aunty and Theoda said: Yes, they II come handy" and I rushed them to the attic. So thoroughly had the scraps to even sweep the floor.
 Then we adjourned to the dining room, >where we had coffee and cake, and with the same energy and good will with which my guests had tackled the sofa
 But, enough? Believe me. there was nothing to clear away. Once more we found ourselves talking of the Dress
 ''wouldn't it be funny if Theoda, Aunty and you. Married and Happy, should each get prize in the con test?"
 Aunty said: tToo bad you didn't
 Aunt Mehit replied: That's not in my line, but I'll tell you what I will do: if you three get prizes I'll sing the Doxolosy."
 The party broke up. and my guests went home. Saturday morning opened my Bulletin and turned to the Social Corner page. and to my aston tshnnent I read:
 First Prize-To Theoda-
 Second Prize-To Married anA Happy.
 Third Prize-To Aunty.
 Just then I thought I heard the sT1eet voice of Aunt Mehftab1e sin ng1ng the Doxology and it occurred to me that the rest of the Social Corner might enjoy hearing of our happy, busy afternoon.

Friends of the Social Corner: am glad of an opportunity to come to this pleasant Corner again and thank Bon Ami. Hepatica and Sunbeam for the part it was my pleasure to play in their splendid stories.
 How intensely interesting the stories all are. I liked BetEey Bobbett's story too.
 The dressmaking contest is quite a feature. What next?
 Like Mater, I am wondering if I can find any of my friends in disguise in this spacious Corner, and to her would say. it would be pleasant to claim her acquaintance; but those initials hardly fit: So you will have to guess again. .Etta Barber and Aunty seem to be two very busy practical persons. c. of C.. is always giving us some thing good to eat
 I will close by telling how we make A Plain Gingerbread: One cup mo- lasses, one teaspoon of soda, one spoon ful of ginger and one of butter, stirred together; then pour on one-half cup of boiling water and flour enough to make a thin batter. Bake an inch deep in sheet.

PoTLATcH WOULD LIKE TO SEND
 WOLETS.

Dear Edfter and Corner Friends: Well, here I am again! It's been sev- eraI months since visited you. have enjoyed the letters in the Corner, even If l have been silent.
 First. am going to thank the Ed Ator. and others, who remembered me At Christmas time. I appreciated ev- cry card sent me, and have tried tG send each one a postal in return. Have received number of personal mis- Bives, and they were surely welcome.
 Am interested in the dressmaking ggestions-f1nd many new ideas. I have always done my family sewing, and did considerable for others-not 90 much of late years.
 The styles change so often one lnust kep posted to know how to make dresses, at least I find it so. When there were tots to use make overs 1 5ound many ways of using up odds and ends. Could cut a handkerchief put of a sheet as nicely as you please. /Etta Barber seems to understand so much about everything. and can ex- plain herself so well. and has so many things to tell us. 1t seems almost folly for me to suggest my o1d-fashtoned ways and means.
 Today is the 9th of March just received The Bulletin of Feb. 18th. You see, cannot always make as prompt replies as some of you. Of course, I am always pleased to be remembered and certainly enjoyed the social events. I did not feel as stranger among you.
 Think Biddy was a little off when she accused me of saying the friends at the anniversary looked like hay eeeds. I was a hayseed most of my life. Besides, I never call my friends nick names. I'll excuse Biddy this time.
 Am sorry I missed being at Aunty's Christmas tree. You see. I went out in the country and spent Christmas at the old home with mother. They have all passed away from there only mother is left. I thought of the South Canterbury friends, and thank Aunty for sending me a report of the entertainment. It's sweet to be re- mernbered. even in dreams.
 Say, Mas love story was all right.

BOOK WoRKBox.

Book workboxes are among the novelties which are destined to attain great favor with women who live in contracted quarters and must conse- Quently dispense with all articles which are not useful as well as orn- anentaL The workbo1 is about the size of 8 fat best seller novel and is apparently 8 volume having a tap estry or brocaded silk covering for its outer sides and backing. But when examined closely it is seem that the leaf opening portion also is covered with the fancy material and that it's two sides, acting on ribbon hinges, open fatly and reveal a four sec toned skeleton framework equipped with a stout silken cording working on the endless chain scheme and run ming through a series of spools hold ing silk, linen and cotton threads as we'll as alarming strands in various colors. On the inner side of the GOV CTS are compartments for scissors and booklets for pins and needles and attached to the outer side of the top obIong strip is stout han dle of tapestry covered canvas by which the affair may be carried about if necessary. The seams of thS tap estry or brocaded silk covering may be concealed under a narrow gimp, but an overcasting of tfnse1 thread makes. a less bulky finishing.

A KIND MESSAGE.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Chil- dren: Kind words can never die. They have stood the test of ages, and are strong enough to stand the severest test. The kind thought that was so beautifully brought out in a message read recently and the cheerful spfr- it in which it was written, made it beautiful to me. As message it was one in a thousand I believe it was the first of the kind I have ever read. The blessing was so great that it passed way beyond. the one for whom it was intended and reached even me
 I have no doubt others appreciated that kind message much as 1 have.
 The writer may never know how much that message may do. feel very grateful for the kind thought that prompted the writer to send the mes sage.
 So my message to the Social Corner children is never to withhold the kind word. Do all the good you can, when you can and to whom you can. Make all the friends you can. You will pass this way but once.
 Best wishes to all Social Corner

DOING LITTLE THINGS WELL GIVES BIRTH

Glad to hear they are settled so nicely. But they will want to come to Seattle again. Most people do We Yankees are proud of our New England ancestors. But when anyone has lived west, they usually grow to like the western life.
 May I shake hands with Sally Syca- more. Her ancestors kept the tavern in Is; and 1t was my great uncle who crossed his horse on the stringers, after the bridge was washed away. I often heard him tell the story when was child. Uncle passed away sev- eral years ago. He was then living in Rockville, Conn.
 am still looking for some word from Pink Rose. Don't ask me to guess who you are. for am a poor guesser, If l am 8 Yankee.
 I am glad to hear of the mild win ter you have had in the east It has been nice here-two snow storms. The most snow fell the first of January. from four to six inches in Seattle. Very little cold weather. About thirty feet warm now. and time to make early garden.
 Faye Verna, pansies are budded; and Frank, the lies of the valley are just peeping out of the ground. Tulips and primroses are in bloom I usually of the earlier flowers the first of April.
 l have such a. nice lot of violets in bloom wish I might send you all 8 bunch.
 I suppose some of you read about the big drydock just compelled at the Puget Sound navy yard. It's the larg- est in this country. We had a grand time. The battleship Oregon was hoated into the dock, and she looked pretty small in such a large dock.
 The governor and many noted peo- pie were there. The old soldiers home is just across from the navy yard, and I tell you they enjoyed themselves. There are nearly five hundred inmates in the home. including some of the wives, and most of them are old G. A. R. men, some aged and very feeble They have a nice home, and fine To- cation, right on the Sound.
 I can see the Editor is looking cross cannot blame him. It's hard to say goodbye when one gets busy chatting with old friends.
