TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
 FROM FRANK.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: In friendship as in other matters it is the little things that count,-not promise of eternal fidelity but thought fitness about trifies assures us our friend really cares for us-
 Here is a useful hint or two. N If the rollers of your wringer wear out while the other parts are yet good, take white felt cut so the edges just meet covering the roll completely and close with needle and strong thread, and the wringer is serviceable again.
 A window refrigerator saves ice and is convenient Have a dry goods box about Is inches deep and three feet high fitted on the outside of the pan try window, coming not quite up to the second sash, nicely papered and fitted with shelves and one or two holes for circulation of air. Affix a curtain to the outside of the lower sash and when the sash is raised the curtain goes with it. This Is very convenient for keeping food in cold weather.
 Balsam Fir: My birthday will not come for a good while, yet. Thank you and all from whom I received nice cards; and thanks to the story writers who included me in their social pie lures and pleasures.

kNIoHTs OF COLUMBUS.

The educational lecture campaign recently launched by the Fourth De- gree of the Knights of. Columbus under the inspiration and direction of John H. Reddin, Supreme Master /ef that Degree, is a systematic attempt on the part of the Supreme Master and the fifty-six Masters of the Fourth Degree in the United States and Canada to develop the Catholic lecture field. The Order has published a little booklet containing the names of fifty Catholic Lecturers who are available.
 Connecticut is credited with Rev w A. Keefe as lecturer. Father Keefe who is located in Piainf1eld was at one time curate in St Mary's parish and is known as an able and forcefm speaker
 lecture this winter under the auspices of some assembly in his district. This is only the beginning.
 This is the age of the propogandist. Intellectual vagaries, religious, moral, political and economic are born every day and all have their followers, among supposedly intellectual people Where is the force the influence to hold them to the old safe moorings? This movement is destined to supply it.
 Intellectual eagerness is the pre- dominating cI1aracteristic of this gen. eration. Millions of deeply earnest men are groping in the dark, eagerly seeking with all their power to reach the light The rise Of Socialism all over the world illustrates this
 It is only 8 little over two months since MT. Reddin sent letter to all Of the Masters in the United States and Canada and to a few other prominent Catholic gentlemen setting forth this plan.
 The order in this city has responded nobly to this appeal. It was under the auspices of White Cross council No. 13, Knights of Columbus that David Go1dstefn was brought to the town hall last Monday evening and
