bound by prediction pledges and campaign
obligations can simultaneously satisfy the party

WHY GRACE COULDN'T ATTEND
 THE TEMPERANCE MEETING.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters. I did not intend to visit the Corner this week, only I wanted to tell Biddy the reason I refused to work at the Temperance Meeting was because of the walk that she and Aunty and took the other day, through the wilds. It used me all up! How did it effect you, Biddy? Are you still scratching? Seriously I was delight ed to meet you face to face. If the rest of the Corner Sisters are like you and Aunty I want to know them all personally.
 I see we have a new Aunty from Echoe Glen. Well, I hope you two won't get mixed up
 l see by the last Bulletin M Roena has arrived home again. Soon we will hear from her, I know.
 Elizabeth: Guess again, you are wrong. I am getting rather shaky, for fear after all I have made a mistake. Are your husbands initials F. S.?
 am still watching for missing name-2
 Aline your letter was very interest ing. I like to read of other countries Perhaps the Air-ship will land me in the West Indies next, then we will have a nice little visit and see the sights. GRACE.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Editor Social Corner:-I guess Jim Hill was right when he said it was the cost of high living instead of the high cost of living that was worrying the people.
 Cheap living is something the peo- pie do not believe in. and they scof at the idea whenever it is presented. An aged man recently demonstrated that he could live on 70 cents day and presented his bill of fare which was wholesome enough; but those who eat themselves poor just laughed at his simple fare.
 An Englishman is now being made fun of because he succeeded in living on six cents a day. This EngIishman furnishes a list of his weeks supplies as follows 3 loaves of bread, 1 pint of milk, 1 ID. of dates ? oz. of drippings, 1-2 ib. of potatoes, 1 ib. of oatmeal, l ib of haricot beans, 1 ib. of rice, 5 oz. of margarine. 1-2 ib. sugar
 This, with tea, pepper and salt. spend all my money, and l had a cent left at the end of the week. l never enjoyed a week more and never felt better at the end of it.
 The lack of knowledge of food val ues is at the bottom of most of the distress of the people.
 Porterhouse steak has per hundred weight 1,1i0 calOries; figs 1,475; butter 3.605; pecan nuts 3,435. In other words 1 ib. of nuts is equal to 8 ibs. of steak for sustenance and almost equal to a pound of butter. i> The heartiest fish is black bass, with 435 calories; blue-fish next, 40, lobster next 39O; oysters 335; and flat fish 115. A pound of black bass is equal in food value to nearly four fpounds of founders. and is cheapest at : times the price
 At the markets all are looking for best cuts and at the provision stores of every kind for the best brands. The demand is in excess of the supply and the prices are constantly rising. A great many kinds of wholesome food may be had cheap; and cheap food doesn't mean food which lacks sustenance.
 Want of knowledge and following a blind lead is at the bottom of half the woes of the consumers.

A Social Corner Wedding
By Rose of New England

The church was handsomely dee- erated with New England Resesi Pink Rose, Bluebells. Black Pansy, Hepat- lea, Balsam Fir, Cernaewer, F1eur De Lis, Sweet William and Sweet Laven- der.
 Presently Dreamer came in and took her seat at the organ and the music began and such wonderful dreamlike music was never before heard.
 In came the wedding procession as were Frank, Billie. Jim, Joseph Doe, J. E. T. and Merry Farmers Boy. Fol lowing them came the three little girls of Dreamer, with the three little boys of Queen Bess, each carrying 8 large basket of Crimson Ramblers. Next the bridesmaids, who were W. H. S., Sweet Sixteen, A Ministers Daughter. Elizabeth, Gladness and Sunshine.
 Ruth and Papas Boy came next as maid Of honor and best man. They were followed by the bride and groom. The bride wore beautiful silk dress with an overdress of white silk tat tin, made by the Social Corner sisters who are experts at that work.
 After the ceremony all proceeded to Samanthas house, where @ grand and Sumptuous dinner was served. (Nat killed and roasted three pair of his little critters.)
 After dinner the bride and groom left in an airship for South Windham, Me. where they. will probably see Frozen and then they will go to Springfield Mass, to see Ready's new1home. It was such a success that all the young girls declared that when they got married they were going to have the Social Corner friends plan their weddings.
 All Social Corner members who couldn't attend received piece ot the wedding cake.

AN INVALUABLE REMEDY FOR
 ANTS.

Dear Editor and Social Conerites:- will say to one who wishes to rid her house of black ants, use tartar emetic mixed with sugar, sprinkled freely in their run ways and in sweet ened water wherever they gather Caution must be used where there are children as it is poisonous This is an infallible remedy for the pests
 l wonder how many of the sisters living in the country make buttermillz cheese. I Let the milk stand until thick, then pour boiling water on it stirring brisl1ly until it sparates, which will be in few moments; let it settle until the whey is clear, then drain and sea- son. This is so quickly made and is so delicious. I wish others would try and report. It is considered as nutri- tious, pound for pound as lean beef steak. It is very nice eaten with milk or cream as breakfast food.
 A favorite dish with me Is puffed rice and eggs. Saute the rice In but ter. add two tablespoons of milk, for each egg, scramble lightly season and serve. A nice supper dish.

USES FOR SOFT COAL.

Dear Sisters of Social Corner: I have been reading the Social Corner for long time. As I have read so many beautiful stories I hardly know what to write about, perhaps the many things soft coal is used for may interest you Do any of you think how useful soft coal is to us all. At the gas house the gas is taken from it. which furnishes lights for the streets and our homes and for the gas stoves; and, oh how helpful to us is the dear, dear gas stove! How much quicker one can have their baking all done and have the rest of the day for other things. Then after the gas is burned off the coal it leaves coke which is used in foundries.
 The cinders from the coke are used for fixing roads and they make nice sidewalks. The oil from the coal is used in tar sidewalks, and fine dyes are obtained from the coal tar
 Soft coal is what is also used to run boats and mills, so you see every part is useful. BO-PEEP.

MA SHUT UP TWO cANNIsALs.

Dear Sisters:--I suppose this is a busy time of year with you. It is with me. I usually write my letter in the evening, but now the evenings are too short for when the chickens are all put to bed it is nearly 8 o'clock.
 1 use the boxes after setting is over to shut the chickens in at night. They have slat doors. and can be shut to keep away rats, and other enemies. The boxes are cleaned every day and put in the sun.

Ready, Fairy God mother, Married and Happy and the Editor were to be head committee. to have general oversight of all others. It was decided to have the wedding in the new church in the pretty little yil- lage where the bride lived. A Min- lster,s Daughter was to secure the services of a clergyman and Dreamer was asked to play the wedding march. Ma, Pa, Jane Ann, J. E. T., Nat and B1ddy were appointed committee to look after the eatables and they were cautioned to provide a generous lot for most of the people would have to come good ways and would be hun gry, excepting. of course, the bride and groom. They. oflcourse. would be too happy to eat. Queen Bess was to be on hand early and show people about, having lived there when a little girl.
 June 4th, the day set for the we'd ding, daWned bright and clear and long before the hour set people began to ar rive at the pretty church.
 The Social Corner sisters were there in great numbers and all the village people, the mill having shut down for two hours te give them an opportu- nifty to go.

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
Dear Little Heads in the Pew.

In the morn of the holy Sabbath, I like in the church to see The dear little children clustered, Worshipping there with me. I am sure that the gentle pastor, Whose words are like summer dew, Is cheered as he gaZeS over The dear little heads in the peWs Faces earnest and thoughtful, Innocent, grave and sweet; They look in the congregation Like lilies among the wheat. And I think that the tender Master, Whose msrcieS are ever new, Has a special benediction
 For the dear little heads in the pew, Clear in the hymns resounding To the organs swelling chord, Mingle the fresh young voices. Eager to praise the Lord. And l trust that the rising anthem Has a meaning deep and true, The thought and the music blended, For the dear little heads in the pew. when they hear "The Lord is my
 Shepherd"
 Or Suffer the babes to come,'' They are glad that the loving Jesus Has given the lambs a home. A place of their own with his people, He cares for me and for you, But close in His arms He gathers The dear little heads in the pew.
 ' 50 I love in the great assembly On the Sabbath morn, to see The dear little children clustered, / And worshipping there with me; For l know that my precious Saviour, Whose mercies are ever new, Has a special benedfction For the dear little heads in the pew.

, here on the porch of my bungalow on the waterfront 1 wish you and the Social Corner sisters could enjoy the singing of the different birds. It does not seem possible that so many kinds or birds could be together and fly back and forth to the berry tree on my lot when they feed I could count 15 I know the names of. Shall look others up. They come close to the house and pick up food we place out for them. How sweetly they. sing. The different notes early in the morning malSe one feel happy to awake to be so pleasantly greeted.
 While my friends are on the water learning to row, I could not resist the thought to write. How I wish I could give some poor Social Corner shut-1n sisters a few days with me, 1T l were only here for the season. but the men folks at home can't get to the city early enough mornings for work, so we make it a weekend stay now and then.
 Dear Ready: Thanks for your Springfield card. 1 have been in your Icity; had friends once on Grand ave- nue and took Catherine street trolley at the station to reach them. I would like to live there, the houses are so pretty-lovely cottages, so home-like.
 For all the sisters who have men toned me in stories, I thank you and enjoyed it to be remembered.
 Bee: Have you forgotten you were going to write me; am still looking for the letter.
 Ma of Waterford: Can you tell me what to do for new feather pillows that smell as though they were heat ed ? They never smell until some time after taken to the shore. The house closed up with the sun beating on it makes it like an oven, until it is opened and wind goes through it. In that way, think they get heated. 1 have been airing them and some smell decidedly better. An answer from anyone who has had the same trouble would be appreciated. Do you advise putting camphor gum in? One lady told me she did it.
 Wishing you all a pleasant vacation, and trusting you won't forget to write, and that some of the older writers will De heard from, if only a brief greeting l remain

white mound it is very decorative. The white part will be light -textured and tasty, and should be just stiff enough to hold it's shape.
 Sugar Cookies-Two cups of sugar two eggs, one cup of sour cream, a favoring to taste, a level teaspoonful of soda and a heaping one of baking powder.
 Picked Beets-For immediate use the beets are boiled until tender with out peeling or breaking the skin, merely washing them and removing the tops, which, however, should not be cut level with the skin, about an inch in length being left on. This is so that the juice may be retained, to keep the dark red color. When tender the beets are peeled. left whole if small, but cut into slices If large; seasoned with pepper and salt, and covered with cold vinegar; horse radish may be added If convenient, and free from mold or fermentation longer. Such beets are only meant for inn mediate consumption; they may be picl5led for future use as follows:
 Select small new beets, and boil un- til tender; peel the skins off as soon as they are cool enough to handle, also cut off top asd tail and pack in fruit jars; set aside and prepare your vinegar It will not be necessary to heat the beets over again. Put as much vinegar over the fire as will be required to cover the beets; when this comes to a boil add little sugar, ac- cording to taste. Let the vinegar boil five minutes longer; pour over the beets piping hot and seal. A small piece of horseradish put into each jar will keep the white scum from form ing on the top of the vinegar.
 
 Beet Sweet Pickie-Boil till tender, then skin, and cut into slices or strips. Put in glass jars rather loosely, so that each piece will be surrounded by the pickle. To two quarts of vinegar add four pounds of brown sugar, and when these are in the kettle, add a scant half teaspoonfuI of pu1verfzed alum. Use a porcelain lined kettle for this liquid, and bring the contents to a boil Skin carefully, and then add to it a small cheesecloth bag contain ing a teaspoonfu1 each of whole pep percorns, allspice and cloves. Boil again, and add little cayenne pepper and salt. Fill the jars to oveTf1owing with this liquid, and set aside over night. The next morning drain the beets, and bring the syrup again to a hard boil. Pour this again into the jars of beets, doing so while 1t is scala ing hot, and filling each Jar to over flowing. Seal immediately.
