DIFFERENT WAYS TO SERVE
 APPLES.

Dear Sisters of The Corner, one and all: I am sending few different ways of serving apples:
 An apple day keeps the doctor away. Apples are the most hea1thful of all fruits and should be eaten in some form, either raw or cooked, daily. For a breakfast dish they are appetizing served in this way: Put two tablespoons of butter into fry ing pan. Fill the pan two-thirds full of sliced apples; cover and let steam and fry ten minutes; add sugar to taste; also two cups of bread crumbs; mix well; cook for a short time before serving.
 Apples with Tapioca-Take two pounds of greenings. pare. core and slice: add a slice of lemon, teaspoon of butter half a cup of sugar, cup of water and boil until nearly soft; cook three ounces of tapioca in enough wa ter to cover; boil five minutes, put in the apples and stew together ten min- utes, stirring often. Put the mixture into a pie dish, sprinkle break crumbs over; also an ounce of butter cut into bits, and two tablespoons of sugar and brown in the oven. Serve hot or cold with cream
 Apple Compote-Use any fine flavor ed apples, peel, quarter and core them: place in a granite saucepan in which put a cup of water; add lemon juice
 
 When cooked arrange in pretty dish.
 Boiled Apples Place layer of Baldwins or any fair skinned variety in a stewpan with half pint of water; add half cup of sugar to six apples and boil until the apples are thorough ly cooked and the syrup thick as mo- lasses. Do not peel the apples. The skins contain a large share of jelly making substance and impart a flavor impossible to obtain otherwise.
 Apple snow-A nice supper dish is made by taking two large sized apples, the whites of six eggs, rind Of lemon and half pound of sugar Peel, core and quarter apples, stew with the lemon peel in sufficient water to keep from burning. When tender, remove peel, beat apples to a -'nlp. let cool. then stir in whites of eggs beaten to a froth. Add the sifted sugar and con- tinue the beating until the mixture be- comes quite stiff. Serve in small glasses or heaped in a glass dish. Gus tards or cream may be served with 1t.
 Apple Omeiet-The whites of four eggs beaten to a froth. then add yolks and beat again, adding sugar to taste. Place a lump of butter in frying pan. When hot, pour in the mixture. When it begins to boil and thicken, spread a layer of apple sauce over it. Fold the omeIet over half way, then serve with sugar.
 Picked AppIes-Nine pounds of ap- 2 ples, four pounds sugar, one pint wa ter, one quart vinegar, one-fourth pound broken cinnamon and cloves mixed. Select perfect apples-large crabs are the best If crabs are used leave them whole and stems on. Place fruit in porcelain bowl alternately with . layers of sugar and pouf vinegar over and let stand over night. Drain and to the liquid add the spices, tied in a bag, and bring slowly t6 the boiling point. When clear, add apples and boil until tender, but not soft. Place in sterile glass jars. Boil syrup until thick and add to fruit, Seal

THE YELLOW ROSE
A Memorial Dsy Story By Wolverina

We were going slowly up the cem- etery hill. the band going ahead of the two autos that carried the old sol diers, and our school children fol- lowing in double rank: then came the it's long roll. accompanied by fife played by an old man. who had played it SO in the sixties.
 At last we came to a halt at the top of the hill; we teachers got our children into orderly rows while the veterans formed in a circle around the cannon. Dear, dear old men. What havoc the last fifteen years had played with them. How well l re- membered them back fifteen years day with heads held high. and eyes that were bright with the spirit of the war days. Now they were so feeble almost every old soldier had to be as- sisted from the autos.
 The band played. Were Tenting Tonight" and our school children took up the words and sang the verses through. Then the old chap lain tottered forward, his voice high pitched in his effort to be heard; and the boom of the cannon followed as a salute to the dead was fred
 I was watching my grandfather, Capt Copeman, pretty narrowly. It seemed as if I had never seen him so transparently white. as he was now. as he stood with head uncovered, the hill breeze tossing his thick gray hair. It brought a lump to my throat to think that next year he might not be with us, but that a new flag would wave over another mound.
 'T wish I were with grandfather. I whispered. to the teacher next to me.
 "Go right along" she whispered. T can look after your children as well as not. They'll break ranks soon now"
 I thanked her and sped to him.

A TRUE STORY OF A RED ROSE

Dear Editor and Sisters:I want t< tell you true story of a red rose that started on a mission nearly a year ago not far from the Rose of New , This beautiful rose was first cut and carried by it's owner to an old lady who lived near. and she in turn gave it the following day to q visitor who had been with her few days and was leaving for a visit at thf home of another relative, which fort unately happened to be my home, els there would have been no story fo4 me to tell.
 When she arrived at my home my little girl was i'll, and the rose was taken to her room to be admired and enjoyed. I remarked that 1t had such a fine strong stem we might be able to make it grow. so the rose with its short stem was cut off and left in the sick room, and the slip DOW about five or six inches long was taken to the flower garden, all of the leaves excepting the top one cut ons and close to some tall plants that would give shade a part of the day; & hole was made with a small stick. into which the slip was pressed, and the soil made firm around it A discard ! ed fruit jar was then inverted over 1t and pressed into the soil to a third of it's depth. After a time tiny green shoot could be seen at the joint of the leaf, and then I knew it had taken root
 Through the summer months it re- ceived its share of the water given the flower garden. but no special care was given it.
 When cold weather came the ground was covered with stable litter almost to the top of the inverted Jar. The litter was removed early in the spring, but the jar was not taken away un- til danger of frost was past. All through the winter the green shoot could be seen through the glass. and it is now growing finely. and gives promise of making a pleasing addi- ton to my rose garden. and who can tell how many hearts may be glad dened, when 1t Is old enough to bloom, for it started on a mission of cheer, i and must keep up its reputation I have never met the original giver. ! and doubt whether she knew the rose | went further than the neighbor to l whom she gave it; but wonder wheth- CT any who had a part in passing 1t on would recognize their part 1T thy should read this little story. , A few years ago l rooted Cr1m- son Rambler in the same way and T | 1t now quite a bush.
 | L. H. K: Are you too busy to | write? Let us hear from you. Someone inquired how to get rid of
 rats, would say that we have never | found anything equal to good cat,

STRAWBERRY ICE THAT KEEPS
 ITS COLOR.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends:-we are certainly having delightful weather. The air is Fra grant with the perfume of the apple blossoms near our door. The little blossoms near our door,. The little birds are singing in the trees and hop ping about on the lawn. We cannot but be cheerful nor do we want to try to be anything else. Truly there are trials and suffering, occasionally but we believe even these will work out for our own good if we act well our part and do the work the Lord in tended us to do. Now l do hope all the Sisters who have been i'll are sufficiently recovered to be out Of doors and enjoy this beautiful sum- mer weather.
