 I lived one year (when I wuz IT years old) with a great aunt And | used to have so many kinds of work begun all at once that she used to say: M. sum day you'll get all them kinds of work finished off at once, and then you'll never have any more work to do." l haven't got to that place yet, and l don't know as 1 want to.
 Work is a blessin'. if you don't have to take it in too large doses I was larned to work young, and l have a dolls bedquiIt that l finished before I was years eld; it is Is inches square and CTS leetle bits of squares were sewed Cover and over) together to make it.

HOW TO HANDLE PERENNIAL
 PHLOX.

Editor Social Corner: Perhaps it would not come amiss to say that it does not pay to transplant old roots of perennial phlox.
 It is the practice among flower growers to make new roots by Selec- ton once in three years.
 Patience will find when her phlox sprouts in the spring that the most promising and robust shoots are on the outside row. Select just as many little clumps of these as are required to make the garden planned and after planting them make an end of the old roots In this way one may have just as many roots of any special kind as are desired.
 So long as the ground is open it is not too late to plant hardy phloX seed. This will start in late March and be ready to transplant in May and from 1t new varieties may be obtained.
 lad who started bed of perennial phlox with four varieties in a few years found he had 42 varieties They had been crossed by the bees and by planting the seed he had developed wonderful collection, numbers of which no one else possessed.
 It is pleasant to select a flower for a playmate just to see. what will come of the relation. The seeding garden is what the professional gardener re- gardS as his playground.

HANDS BAD WITH : q,
 SALT RHEUM
Small Water PimpIes on Fingers. ltched and Burned. Painful and Sore Cracks. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured in a Month.

BrookIin. Me. "A few years ago myH hands were very badly afflicted with salt rheum At first there was an eruption of fingers. and by not paying any attention to the humor my hands gradually became worse and began to itch and burn and one after another cracks appeared around tho nails on the inside of the fingers and on the bend of the joints until I was discouraged. as they were very painful and sore. I had to omit work that required putting my hands in water and could hardly work at all on account of the bleeding cracks.
 II finally procured some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. and found by washing my hands in quite warm water and Cuticura Soap that they were improving. I began wrapping my fingers nightly in pieces of soft linen, after good application of Cuti- cura Ointment which was very soothing. In month my hands were completely cured and I have never been afflicted with the trouble since" (Signed) Mrs. c. l.. Parker. Nov 22, 1912.
 When you buy fine toilet soap think of the advantages Cutictlra Soap possesses over the most expensive toilet soap ever made. In addition to being absolutely pure and re- freshingly fragrant, it is delicately yet effec- lively medicated, giving you two soaps in one, toilet and a skin soap at one price. Sold throughout the world. Sample of each mailed free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address postcard "Cuticura, Dept. T, Boston.

THE HUSkING BEE

The postman at the Yantic postoffice was quite surprised while stamping the outgoing mail recently to find a large package of postcards neatly tied and directed to The Daily Bulletin, Nor witch, Ct. Wondering what it all meant. he gave a casual glance at one. On the address side the message ran like this:
 Grand Social Corner Husking Bee. at Jims farm, on the evening of -. from 730 to 10.30 o'clock All Social Corner members are invited and there will be no objection if some of the menfolkS come.
 Pretty early in the season for a husk- ing bee, one might first think but Jim had cut his corn early, and the dry fall had cured it ont in fine shape. He also planned to have it on Friday evening so as to give the young people. who were away attending high school, an opportunity to come.
 The calendar said the moon would be full that evening, which would be an- other pleasant feature
 We'll, the long looked for day arriv- ed The morning was cloudy, and threatened rain, but the wind was in the west, and by noon the sun came out, warm and pleasant, and Jim, with a pair of red steers and low down wagon, worked like a beaver a-hauling the corn to the barn from the two acre field nearly all of the afternoon.
 At 5 D. m. Jim was feeling little anxious, so he went to the phone and after getting the number, asked:
 Have you forgot to seid me them oysters?"
 While Jim was yet speaking the ex- pressman arrived with the oysters. and when unloading them he said: Com ing events cast their shadows before"
 At 6.15 o'clock, when Faye Verna had finished the supper dishes, she asked Hubby: Shall we go to the husking bee tonight ?''
 He replied Sure! Glenwood and Sil- yer Bell told me today they would like to go. l know where Jim lives. He is one of those quiet kind of fellows but l think he will make a bowling suc- cess of this affair. That is a fine pie ture on the back of that postcard of his home. I think we can go down there by auto in about 30 minutes, so we will not have to start until about 2 o'clock.
 At 7.30 o'clock the big full harvest moon was shining in all it's splendor in the eastern sky when the first guests arrived at the husking bee. Among the

number that came in Harris big auto truck were Rural Delivery, Aline. Billie, Ella of Canterbury, Blue Bell of Scotland, Sweet Sixteen, Ma, and also the Editor.
 A four horse van brought down from Leonard Bridge good number.
 Every one seemed so glad to see each other. The clock was striking be- fore the real work of husking began. Then how the ears did fly, and every one was busy a-talfdng.
 Yes, sir" Nat was telling Jim, T hope to make them spring pigs weigh $50 by Thanksgiving, and there's noth- ing like hominy feed for fattening pork"
 A group of young misses nearby were relating their high school expe- riences.
 Ma was telling her luck with chick ems and how she managed poultry.
 Just then there was loud exclama- ton from Papa's Boy ''Ho! Ho! Ho!" said he. What have l found. a red ear?" And before any one hardly knew he had stolen a kiss from one of Jfm's fair daughters.
 In the husking contest Merry Farmer Boy won first prize and Papa's Boy come in a close second. There were but two contestants.
 It was nearly 10 o'clock when Jim was heard to exclaim: 'WheW, Look at that big pile of corn. Guess w. will all go into the house and see what they have good to eat, now"
 While the company was doing jus tice to the oyster stew and hot cocoa, Jim disCoursed some four minute rec ords of canned music.
 After supper the Editor spoke of the great pleasure it gave him to be pres ent of the many years he had been connected with and the growth of The Daily Morning Bulletin, and told of his love for the birds and flowers. He re- ferred to the beautiful bouquets of dahlias contributed by the Social Cor ned sisters on the table. He also ap- preCiated the interest taken by the members in the Social Corner depart ment from week to week, and may it ever continue" was his closing senti- ment.
 Well. goodnight, Jim! Take care of yourself. We have all had a splendid time were the parting words as the company left.
 Some thought they saw Jim's eyes a. leaking as ne faintly said:
 Gosh. This all seems like a dream!"

RURAL DELIVERY TELLS A STORY

Dear Editor and Social Corner Mem berS: 1 wish to thank one and all the sisters who have used my name in their stories and allowed me to enjoy their gatherings.
 1 assure you it is great to be So- cial Corner member. It is no dream.
 We are glad it is true our sister A Dreamer has come to our state to live and has settled in Hartford where she can look on the gilded dome of one of the finest buildings in the world
 Papas Boy: Yes, you have been thinking. I can guess what it was all about.
 An Outsider: You ask for the names of all the sisters to be published. While 1t might be pleasing to you and some others, think the Editor will say, if you want fun in the Social Corner don't give your names
 AS Nov 8tn was my birthday 1 re- ceived a number of cards on that day. I wish to thank one and all for their kind remen Dr9nces
 As there are quite a. number of young writers coming into the Social Corner family, just for fun I will give them a little story:
 A tramp came to the door of a com fortabie looking home and asked for something to eat, as he said he had not eaten anything for trrea days. The lady of the house said T am very sorry for you, but l am all out of everything and tomorrow is my cook ing day: but down cellar there is a barrel of pickled pigs feet. You can go down and eat all you want.
 He did justice to barrel of pigs feet and went on his way rejoicing. He had not gone far before he began to be in pain and as the pain was getting to be very severe he stopped at a drug store and asked for something to take for pain in the stomach, as he said he could not live long in that condition. the druggist asked him if he had any money.
 He said: Not a cent'
 As he was a hard looking subject, and the. druggist wanted to get him started on the road, he gave him some thing to take, and told him to move on.
 In a very short time he said he felt better and as he was about to go, he said the pain was all gone and asked the druggist what he gave him.
 The druggist looked at him and said: You are a hard looking tramp and of no use to this world, and I tried an experiment on you. You had been eating pigs feet
 Yes" said the tramp.
 Well, I gave you Aliens Foot Ease"
