WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

Editor Social Corner: Schools close this month and many of our young people close their school days forever to enter the school of life, and how many know what that means?
 In many cases teacher and pupils part never to meet again, and in very few cases will all ever meet together again. We can write a history of their school life. but who can be a true class prophet? The petted darling of today may be the tramp, suicide, convict, deserted wife or murderer's victim of the future, and what honors may not come to the one from whom nothing is expected.
 When Lincoln was Is who would have predicted that he would be president?
 I once heard a little boy cry bitterly because he could not find his worn-out cap (the only one he had) when school was out. and now he is a man of both business and social importance
 Two of the sweetest baby girls I ever saw drffted into houses of ill., fame, and only God can read the fu- ture.
 How soon school friends are forgot ten. Schoolmates live in the same town and never visit if there is a diff ference in their social or financial standing, and they meet on the street almost as strangers At first there is heartache with the poorer one, but after a time she learns to forget unless some school picture or incident recalls the happy past.
 One of the hard lessons of life is the fact that while in school all are sup posed to be equal, in social life. in the school of life" the grades are divided.

Dear Editor and Sister Cornerites: Here l am again. Somehow it is easier to come than to stay away.

 Black Pansy: did mean to call on you, but as circumstances have changed, it is not as convenient as 1t fore long. If not before, perhaps at the picnic, for I am sure we will have one somewhere
 Vicolia: Yes, I have my window garden with me. I couldn't possibly leave it behind. If you will stop in some time I will give yo ua bouquet.
 Sweet William: Yes, had a nice visit with your little daughter, and I understand she can make the tattin stitch

eRAcE's PLEASANT SURPRISE.

Dear Sisters of the Corner: Here come again, but shall have a new name. I little thought what the meaning of Busybody was until my attention was called to it. It was the nrSt name that popped in my mind having family of nine. sometimes more, doing the washings, 1ron1ngs sewing, and the rest of the work be- sides the extras in their season, with care of hens. etc., one has no time to meddle with other peoples affairs, and Tor fear you dear Sisters may think I am meddlesome. offfcious person have decided to adopt a new name
 1 want to thank the Sister who so kindly sent in that nice frosting recipe.

 Ma: Ready's surprise was all right and that Parade was the time of my life. I notice whatever the Cornerites undertake it is always carried through successfully, and our Editor is always on hand, entering heart and soul in all our pleasures. as we'll as sympathizing with us in trouble.
 I want to thank the Sisters for all the invitations to their doings. They are greatly appreciated and enjoyed as they are about all I attend, except once in a great while.
 Frank: Your idea of neighborhood picnic is fine. One does enjoy them selves more to dress for the occasion instead of white kid shoes, silk stock ings and white lingerie dress.
 lola: In days gone by I have enter ta1ned just the kind of company you have, but of recent years I invite only those who are my friends in deed. and are just as glad to see me and mine in their own home as l am to have them come
 Now l want to tell you of a delight ful surprise l had a few days ago. A lady friend was at my home one we had not seen for nearly twenty years Cor since l was a little girD until this spring. 1 noticed her waist was trim med with tattin she also had a beau tiful handbag. After a while I asked her if she ever wrote to the Social Corner, thinking she might be Ready, or one of those Sisters so greatly in terested in tattin. To my surprise be- fore she left for her own home she said: You may call me Aunty." and she is just as sweet as she was in my childhood days.
 Now I am wondering how many more can put on the list. as I have found out M. Roena, Glenwood, Faye Verna, Elizabeth and J. F. T.
 Black Pansy: Do you know Aunty also?
 A Sister called last week for a Spice Cake recipe. I will send two which I call good:

 When children are unusually quiet they are generally up to something and I wonder if Aunty is going to give us another story. She either must have spilled her ink, or used it up in some good cause.

How the Social Corner Helped

troubles identical. Carrie and her father were all alone, as her mother died years ago. Changing about from post to pillar she had always 1onged for true home. Now with 8 blush she said she was engaged, but didn't want to marry until she could at least manage a house.
 Her father had brought her back to his old home town thinking among some of his old friends she could find a motherly woman who could instruct her.
 "Oh, I know who we want to go to see.'' exclaimed Marjorie. Grand ma Russell is just the person. why haven't 1 thought of her?''
 Soon the two girls were on their way chattering like magpies. AS Mar jorie introduced her new friend Grand they explained why they came to her. Grandma's beautiful old face fair ly shone.
 "Of course I will help you" she said, "I don't see why more girls don t try to learn the same things: but now a-days girl thinks when she marries she can leave all the work to the maid
 Everything was speedily arranged, the girls to come: every morning to help and be helped. A pleasant afternoon was spent discussing the recipes, and Grandma said a better book she never saw, OVcI " LLiI6 WdS SD pTdCtICal l think should like to join that Corner club.
 Before the month was out everyone was wondering at the decided change in both girls. Alert eager-eyed they stepped briskly along and were as hap py as the day was long. Soon other girls were begging to join and Grand mas class was enlarged. Each girls parents insisted on sharing expenses and soon Grandma had a pleasant pay ing business.
 When the double-wedding took place in September, no better prepared brides were to be found. As all were making merry over the wedding feast Dick proposed a health in sparkling cold water. Long life and a merry one, to the dear old Social Corner"

 Her mother only laughed when she spoke of learning to cook and man age a home She herself had been a natural home maker, and could not realize her daughters shortcomings, as Marjorie herself did.
 Although Dick could afford a maid yet Marjorie felt she ought to under stand things herself
 As her eye wandered up the street she noticed a young girl of about her own age coming briskly along. Her hands were full of bundles and as she passed the gate returning MaFjorie's s bow and smile, she dropped a little book she was carrying under her arm.
 Marjorie quickly started after her thinking to herself that must be Car rie Newton. heard father say she and her father were going to live at the hotel. Hurrying along she spoke returning the book
 "Oh, thank you so much,'' responded Carrie. T wouldn't lose that for any thing, Those are Social Corner re- cipes."
 Noting the look of wonder on Mar tories face, she explained that the Norwich Bulletin had kindly given a whole page for the ladies' Corner and it is so full sometimes part of another page is necessary.
 'eDo come back and rest few min utes, I am very much interested" said Marjorie.

RAINBOW IS A GOOD euEssER.

Dear Social Corner: We'll, Rainbow, you are good at guessing; but you have me guessing as to who you are. You have not been here on Memorial day lately, have you? This year I had 23 with my family, frienls and relatives at the dinner table on Memorial day. If you care to let me know where to find your friends graves I will put flowers there for you sometimes, as I am through the cemetery quite often, and Beccy still has me a guessing on her. There is one house down the road to Wales, which the state owns, and the moTings were let out to pine seedlings two or three years ago.
 Did Reccy or Rainbow ever go blue berrydng in the Moore pasture on that road
 Well, I suppose the sisters are busy picking strawberries for that short cake, and the brothers. perhaus. are looking after crows so they will not eat all the corn away, so they can have the corn for pigs anther season.

We keep strict account of all money received and of each ex- penditure, and can at any time tell ex- actly what our financial condition is We pay cash for everything and buy in as large quantdes as possible The mother does all the work, including sewing, and plans all meals at least one day ahead.

Watch the Little Thinq&

Teach the boy and the girl to know how to do a good many household tricks; it is as we'll for the boy to know how to clean a room and cook simple meal as it is for the girl to know how to bake, sew and market, so as to know the food and clothes value, material, and prices, then I believe the girl who has practical knowledge of these things won't go to the butcher around the corner and pay 35 cents per pound for slice of ham to fry, but will walk 8 half mile or more to an other market and purchase the same kind of meat for 2S cents pound, as she will have learned to use her eyes and ears. remembering they are for practical use. Know the difference be- tween want" and need" When you need the article pay cash; avoid the charge accounts and telephone orders. Watch some of the little things. Don't let the soap melt in your dishwater nor sink. nor let the teakettle boil dry; keep track of your left-overs in the pantry; save all pieces of fat, fry them out and by putting in & small potato when frying it will clear the drip pings better than lard; also render your own lard. Have your sewing done at home, save the pieces, and you will be surprised how soon you will have enough for quilt. Do your own bak- ing, use plenty of the dried variety of vegetables, instead of the more expen- sive canned goods. Learn to have system in your work.

A Family That Does Not Worry.


 We live in g. moderate priced six room flat at SIS month. I have rent ed my front rooom to 8 physician at $4 a. week. My husband gave up smok- ing and my son of 20 years has never tasted cigar up to date. I use the best quality hard coal that burns to clear ashes. I do all my own house. work, washing and ironing, except col lars. My husband takes a hot and nourishing lunch for 15 or 20 cents, which is more beneficial than cold, dry sandwiches and costs no more. I think a little of the best food is far better than big mess of cheap foodstuffs, as the former contains more nourish- ment to sustain the body for health and strength. Gas is used only in one room at 8 time except when necessary for other purposes. I always have a good sized light during the night in the kitchen to prevent burglary. The evenings are usually spent at home with music, reading, card playing and games, off and on nickel show for a change. For underwear, mems hats, clothing, shoes. needed household fur nishings, groceries, drugs, etc, keep track of special sales for necessary bargains. Such foods as different cuts shoulder of lamb beef soup with bar ley, oatmeal, hominy, rice, beans, corn ed beef and cabbage, also lots of other things are better handled in the fire less cooker. Pay cash. What you can't afford, do without. Instead of knowing how to make both ends meet we save considerable every month and are planning to buy a home.-Letters from Chicago Tribune.
