easiest way is to cut them into inch wide strips, then holding three or four together on board, cut down through them with sharp knife. For fine marmalade the chips should be so thin that the knife can be seen through. While the peels are boiling remove all seeds and skins from the pulp. Put peeL pulp and juice to- gether with the juice of two lemons to every dozen oranges. To every pint use lb. of granulated sugar and boil 1-2 hour or until clear and thfck-s Be careful not to let it burn.

I saw you last Sunday, so I know you are still alive; and I had a fine time at your house and enjoyed it, although dread ed coming home over that state road, but it didn't seem anywhere near as bad at night, when wou couldn't see it. Don't forget to come over and return my call.
 LAX: You said you hoped the Sis ters would sit up and take notice about badges. I agree with you. Why not have pins, like the high schools, only on them? What do you say to the initials B. s. C., 10, standing for Bull letin's Social Corner?
 Papa's Boy: How is your auto? Peggy Anne: How is wee Peggy? l saw her in The Bulletin tent at the Norwich fair last year.
 Hettie Marie: I have passed your house many. many times.
 Balsam Fir: I saw my master just a few minutes ago passing my stall with a book of poems in one hand, still looking for those you asked about (didn't tell you my masters name was Wild West did D. He has looked through every book and newspaper he has on the ranch and is about ready to hand in his resignation.

DOMESTIC WRINKLES FROM
 kEZIAH.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: I expect the sisters are all busy with their housekeeping and the brothers with their gardens.
 Will send in a few recipes that are quickly made and also very nourish- ing:
 Graham Bread-Three cups graham flour (not sifted); cups wheat four l cup sugar. tablespoon lard, salt to taste, two heaping teaspoons soda Mix with either sweet or sour milk, having it thin enough to pour into bread pans. This will make two loaves. Do not have the oven very hot when you put it in. but after it has risen increase the heat till it is hot enough for biscuit Bake one hour.
 When Boiling Rice add a few raisins or dates.
 ..Hermits Gro be made like cookies)- One cup sugar, 1-2 cup butter and lard eggs, l teaspoon soda, 3 tablespoons milk. salt, 1-2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1-2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 cup chopped rais- inS; flour enough to roll well. Absent One: I am glad you had good success with the cream puffs. ] haven't always lived on a farm, bun ann now trying to get well and strong | again. I am a lover of nature and dumb animals.
 From my kitchen windows I car see the sun rise and set. When look i ing in any direction we can see fol miles and have often wondered if could see where any of the sisters 1 lived.
 | KEZIAH DOOLTTTTE
Norwich bulletin., 1914-05-02

some way to make their visit pleasant and to show them my appreciation for all of the fine presents and the many kind words from one and all.
 It was very pleasing to me to have its Editor in the gathering and to have him presented with a spoon, if it was only one carved out of wood. It fairly made me hungry to think of all the good things the Sisters brought in which were made from the Social Corner recipes, and I certainly would have enjoyed setting in that fine new chair at the beautiful desk. writing letters for the Social Corner page.
 My picture reel would have been complete if I could only have got a snapshot of all present, and the flying machine just starting on its homeward flight for California.
 As there Is call for Mrs. R. D.'s Cream Cake recipe, I will give it:
 Cream cake-One cup sugar two eggs broken in cup and fill up with cream, or two-thirds cream and the rest with milk: two teaspoons cream tartar, one teaspoon soda, one and a half cups flour, spice to suit the taste
 Filiing-One pint whipped cream with @ little sugar, put between the layers of cake and on top: flavor with vanilla.
 This cake is light and very nice, and if KeZiah Doolittle should eat a whole cake he would not be troubled with dreams.
 Snowball: Yes. I am busy planting my garden. I have fifteen kinds of best. varieties, all colors. Some will be large. pure white, like a snoWball.
 How many hands do I see up who will attend the lawn party the coming summer?
