cultivation, that the soil should be

responded to his telephone calls and

permitted to die unless the social
service, which has never done it be-

TESTED RECIPES FROM MATER.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I wonder how many of the Sisters are enjoying the sleighfng? It certainly is fine here.
 am very much interested in the Home Dressmaking contest. Although I do all of my own sewing, do not feel that I could write anything that would be of any help to others. \ An Observer: I do not know who Etta Barber Is, but I can safely say that I am not her aunt.
 Fern: I thought from a letter you wrote I might know you. Have you a brother, C. R., and a sister. H.?
 Muggins: I have made rolls from your recipe and think them fine.
 Raised Doughnsts-One and one-half cups sweet milk, two tablespoons of lard, one-half cup sugar, warm milk to melt lard; let cool before putting in one yeast cake; make a soft dough and let stand until morning. Then add one egg well beaten, one-half cup sugar, one-half teaspoon soda dissolved in a little warm water, one-half nutmeg and flour enough to knead. Let rise, then roll and cut out doughnuts- Let rise again and fry in deep fat
 Caramel cake-One tablespoon but ter or lard, one cup sugar, one cup milk, one and three-fourths cups flour, one-half teaspoon vanilla and two squares of chocolate.
 Maybe some of the Sisters will think it strange that the recipe doesn't call for cream of tartar but 1t isn't re- quired. It may be baked in either loaf or layers. MATER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Along last fall some time, when Fairy God mother had so many of the sisters help her fix up the parsonage for the new minister, and didn't ask me to help, I felt rather as though 1 had been sighted. But since then I haven t had much cause for complaint, as there hasn't been much going on that we haven't had a part in.
 What with the wedding Anniversary, Dickens party and Singing Slzule all bein' held at our house, we sartinly have had some good times. And it was so considerate of the sisters to choose cheerful songs to sing There's noth- ing like havin' the songs fit the oc- casion.
 When I was little girl neighbor- ing man of sixty was to be married to third wife. The pastor was to perform the ceremony at the house, and we with other neSghbors were in- vited. After the ceremony we lin- gered for a little social time someone suggested that we have a little singing before we went home.
 Each waited for the other to start something, until finally the bridegroom began singing the old hymn which begins: How tedious and tasteless the hour" and you can imagine that the smilesT went round.
 Well, spring is coming and perhaps the first warm days will make Hepat- ica blossom out, and Auhty will find her.
 We will live in hopes that some of us will be able to arrange for 8 pie nic somewhere. as soon as the weather

TO KEEP SEWING MACHINE RUN
 MING EASY AND LOOKING NEW.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: As I consider my sewing machine one of my best friends, I always try to take good care of 1t and keep it look ing well. and this is how do it:
 Take the spool of thread off, also the bobbfn; then oil thoroughly with sew ing machine oil and run fast for 8 few minutes. Then take a soft cloth and remove all superhuous oil; take 8 toothpick and remove all lint and dust from around the bobbin and threader. put a drop or two of oil on the belt and run-the machine for a minute to get it worked in.
 Take the front plate off and wipe off all oil; remove all lint from the works; also clean out the pit.
 Mine is quartered oak case, and I wipe 1t over first with some turpen- tine, then mix some beeswax shaved fine in cup and cover with ttirpen- tine; let stand until soft. I then take a soft cloth and apply mixture to woodwork after rubbing in thoroughly, then polish with a soft cloth, and you will find your case looks like new.
 If any one follows directions given, their machine will run like new, and no noise. do this to mine at least once a month.
 In stitching up a skirt many people stitch one seam from top to bbottom, the next from bottom to top. Stitch all one way and notice the differences!

WHEN GRANDMA WENT VISIT
 ING.

When it was suggested that Grand ma make a long talked of visit to her city relatives, while her daughter s family were getting settled in the old home, she declared that she had moth ing to wear"
 Her daughter took account of stock" and the result was a neatly dressed old lady of whom even the fashionable cousin was proud.
 Grandma likes the loose, comfortable house dress and her skirt and waist always "gap'' so.
 Mrs. Burton ripped up the old-fash- toned waist of her mothers nice black wool dress, cut a yoke of shirred black satin and used the fitted back, under arm pieces and the plain sleeves Then she took one breadth from the skirt and heightened the two front breadths, which fell loose over a fitted lining
 The skirt was sewed to the waist at the back and sides, and a yard of wide black satin ribbon fastened at each side to tie in a bow in front The fronts. were fastened by hooks. and the neck and wrists were finished with a dainty white rouche. and a pretty lar.
 This, with pair of black silk gloves and some dainty handk erchiefs was packed ia fiat box for special occasions.
 An fashioned dress of dark gray flannel was made over in the same way, except that the waist was finish ed with a hooked belt of the flannel, and the yoke. collar and cuffs were of dark garnet velvet; and the neck was finished with white linen collar fastened with an old fashioned gold pin.

Dear Social Cornerites: I would like to add my mite to the general helpful l ness of The Corner. So hero 1t fs-a recipe which tells just howl to make doughnuts.
 I realize this will not be needed by the older and experienced members. but may perhaps be as helpful to some of the younger ones as 1t was to me when first undertook the job of cook ing-for Simon.
 A Douohnut. that everyone loves First put kettle of lard on the stove to heat, then take four scant cupsful of sifted bread flour; add to it two good teaspoons of baking powder and one Scant teaspoon of salt; Sift three OF four times; in your mixing bowl put one cup of fine granulated sugar, a lit- tie grated nutmeg, and one small tea spoon of lard; mix together thorough ly with the fingers; add one well beat en egg, one cup of sweet milk; stir quickly and add most of the flour, not quite all at first; mix as soft as can be handled nicely; pat out on the molding board with the hand about one-half inch thick; cut with doughnut cutter as many as kettle will hold; try one cake first; if it comes quickly to the surface and begins to simmer and it must be hot enough or the cakes will soak the fat and be greasy and inedible
 If the fat is too hot the cakes will not have chance to rise, and will be seorched and uneatable, So try one l cake first.
 When the fat seems to be just right. put in the cakes, as many as you can manage well.s and let them alone until they are done on the under side; then turn and brown the upper side; turn them but once-in this lies the secret of the puffy doughnut; skim out of the fat tinta a pan lined with brown paper to drain.
 
 time to cut out another.
 The old saying, There's as much in the baking as there is in the making is never more true than when frying doughnuts.
 This recipe I have followed closely for quite 8 number of years, and it has given uniformly good results, and satisfaction to Simon.
 With best wishes to all for success in every undertaking.

A ONE PIECE DRESS FROM
 PLATED SKIRT.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the S0x cia1 Corner: I have never written be< fore, but seeing the dress making helps that are being given 2 thought maybe could help somebody out by telling them how I made a one piece dress out of pIaited skirt.
 I ripped 1t and pressed 1t. Took a six gored skirt pattern having a. small plait at each<sfde of the back, fastened at the left side of the front After fitting it you can stitch the plaits down as far as desired. Then I took what was left and cut out waist closing that on the left side in some thing of a surplice style.
 The waist consisted of five pieces. Back, two fronts and a short one piece sleeve. (By having seam In the back you can get 1t out of smaller pieces and the sleeves may have to be pieced.) Then you can have a large collar of some other material. This one was black satin, the collar being one with a large revere on the right side. The collar portion being stitched to the waist. With it was worn a black lace yoke with high collar and under sleeves.
 I hope if any one tries this the dress will look as good as the one made.
 I also took skirt made with two tiny plaits in each gore at the seam and made a three piece skirt with envelope front; but that required more piecing as it was for a 32-inch waist.
 Wishing you all success
 FRED ROSE.
