You can't think what a cosy social affair that Longfellow evening was
 Somewhat back from the village street stood the old fashioned coun- try seat,'' and the whole house smiled Welcome to the small party 6A friends and neighbors who came for @ pleasant call.
 There was an open fire in the pretty parlor, and a picture of Longfeuow hung over the piano.
 Each one recited a few lines from IongfeI1ow's poems.
 Reuben's Wife chose ~The Old Clock on the Statrs,' her sister The Child hood Hour;" several young girIa gave selections from "Evangeline"; Etts, Barber gave King Robert of Sicily; Mater of Canterbury read a selection from Building of the Ship" and An Observer gave an account of the au- thor+s life and work which was very interesting and hinted of ''schoolmarm days in the past.
 Then came refreshments and the good nights were said. after they had made some plans for a '@Beecher Evening" in the near future.

 my buttonhole was to be, basting the edge of my soutach close together, carrying the braid along on the under side of the mark first, then the upper side, thus having the braid cross at the front before going to the next but tonhole; stitched this on with a close stitch; cut 8 slit between the closed edges of my loop; overcasted the open ing and presto. I had twenty-three buttonholes in less time than it has taken to tell it. The dress had good hard wear and the buttonholes stood the test.
 A trimming trick of the season is to put tailored, or pump bows, where the ubiquitous button mould has rested. To my way of thinking 1t is a much prettier fashion. Sometimes 1t material to just the right thing for | trimming. This is what I did under l similar circumstances: I bought some heavy, coarse lace insertion, in the ecru shade; embroidered over the pattern with pink, the shade of my dress; green, 8 little yellow and black: l outlined Lhe embroidery with Japan5 csc gold thread, sewed on a few pink l under pink chiffon, and it compared l favorably with trimming at S10 per yard.

AuNrY's INFORMING LETTER.

Dear Social Corner Aunty's knocks" of Feb. 22 certainly contain the most sensible items on dressmak- ing which I have read in the depart ment.
 The correction of the pattern Is very good
 Have wondered why some aprons have the drawn-up puckers she men ttons; her letter tells why and gives the remedy.
 The overcastfng idea tried at once and was delighted with tne result. May she come often with useful hints and win prize.
 agree with Hepatioa's idea of ht- ting a waist.
 Three cheers for Betsy Bobbet with her seven chickens. Does she bring them into the house this cold wealth CT? I have done so when I've been lucky enough to get 8 few early ones. I, like Ma, love the chickens.
 Did SiInon's Wife ever try dipping doughnuts quickly into a basin of boiI- ing water as each one Is taken out of the fat? Try 1t once and notice what a lot of grease one doesn't eaS by so doing.
 do not read the Social Corner aN the sisters so often say, first; but save it till read the rest of The Bulletin, then take time to enjoy the letters. I hope this will find the way intS the Social Corner, poor as it is, as am anxious to go to the picnic if one is held by the Cornerites next sum mer
 Hope Ready will get there if one is held
 Won't the sisters try this:
 suet Pudcina-One cup chopped suet, cup raisins, 1 cup molasses. 3 1-2 cups flour, 2 cups milk, Ia teaspoons soda; salt. steam hours. Try half the recipe.

saves that falls from the stove and wood.
 When you want to hold 8 dish in your lap which might be @ little crooked, take up a folded newspaper and lay under it and see how many clean aprons this will save.
 Take your kettles and frying pans which are greasy and wipe them out with 8 newspaper which can be thrust directly Into the stove, and see how this will help to keep your dish cloths and dish: water cleaner.
 A clean newspaper put at the chil- dren's place at the table saves lots of washing. These can be taken off as the table is cleared and new one put on when time for the next meal. If you are going for a long cold ride put & folded newspaper across your see what lot of cold 1t will keep out.
 A newspaper put in the bottom of your shoes when going coast1ng, or skating, will keep the feet much warm CT.
 All children like to cut paper. Give them 8 newspaper and 8, pair of scis- sors and they will be entertained for a long while.
 So rem member sisters and don't throw away your old newspapers. We all like to be saving, remembering that direfu1 prophecy that "Wilful waste makes woeful want"
 I think the dressmaking contest is fine, and will be of benefit to us all, but I don't know enough to write for that.

MAKING OVER GOODS.

Dear Corner Sisters: Owing to sick ness 1t has been some time since I have written; but have certainly not lost interest in the corner.
 Have watched with deep interest the dressmaking contest. I am going to tell some of the economies I have practtced.
 From an old shirt of hubby's (which was badly worn near the collar band tern on. cut the fronts, leaving the same front bindings. Then the sleeves were only cut off at the top about 2 inches next the cuffs. I cut off the worn edges, turned in and stitched. From the lower ends on backs and fronts I cut my collar and neckband, and behold a shirt where I had only hoped for a small apron from the back.
 Now another, from the lining of an old dress skirt after being washed and pressed: 8 very good black petticoat may be made. For ruff1es use some of the same which in my case Is gener- ally percaline. If the cloth is firm these will wear a long time.
 Now just a word: Don't try to make over anything not firm in the first place. as nothing Is more dis couraging than to spend time and pa,- ttence for nothing.
 and plan the same way have always done, that I don't seem to be able to write much of interest.
 With many kind wishes for all who have so kindly used my name in stories and those who have sent cards, will say I will return some before long.
