COFFEE AS A FLAVOR.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It is surprising how useful coffee is as flavor or as a medicine. as well as beverage.
 Strong Coffee is useful in case of collie. and it serves well to sober an intoxicated person.
 Following are few ways III Whlch it may be used in the kitchen;
 Coffee Spice Cake-Cream cup and a half of granulated sugar with half a cup of butter. Mix half d cup of col fee and the same amount of molasses- Add the yolk of a beaten egg to the sugar and butter and then add the cup of liquid alternately with two cups, of -four. Then add a teaspoon of soda dissolved in d little boiling water, q cup of raisins. seeded and rolled in four a teaspoon of cinnamon. one or grated nutmeg and half a teaspoon or ground cloves. a teaspoon of salt and the beaten white of an egg Bake slowly in loaf
 Mocha Tarts-Bake shells of pastry and sprinkle them with chopped, blanched almonds. Then fill them with mocha cream, made in this way: Mix half a cup each of sugar and flour and add cup and a half of hot milk and half a cup of strong coffee. Cook 15 minutes stirring all the time. Beat the yolks of two eggs and add two tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon of milk. Add to the hot paste with a tablespoon of fresh butter. If you have not fresh butter, freshen salt but ter by putting it for 10 minutes under running cold water. As soon as you add the butter to the paste take il from the fire. Add the whites of two eggs. beaten stiff, and a teaspoon of vanilla and when the cream is cool put it in the shells. GarniSh the top with | bits of whipped cream. Coffee Blanc Msnge-BoiI cup each of milk and coffee with two tablespoons of sugar. Thicken with two tablespoons of cornstarch rubbed smooth in lit
 tie cold milk. Mold, chill and serve with cream
 Coffee Ice Cream-Beat a quart oi thin cream with an egg beater until ] it is frothy. Dissolve two cups of su- gar in a pint of milk and cup of | strong coffee and add to the cream Freeze.
 Cafe Parfait-Pur a pint of milk ir ! the upper part of a double boiler and ! heat it with seven large tablespoons ! of sugar and two cups of strong cof- | fee. Chill 1t and freeze it.. Tale out l the dasher and stir in a pint of cfeam whipped. Pack in salt and chopped ice ! and let it stand for two hours. Put il
 in tall glasses and put whipper cream | on top.
 Those who are fond of the coffee ! flavor will find the above very good. HANNAH WHO.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
StOnington.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- The busy housewife must study to do things with despatch It is the little details which count
 ThesimplesJ way to rid brown sugar of Jumps is to put it in bowl over hot water for a few minutes. This softens the sugar so the Jumps may be quick ly rubbed out.
 When l am whipping cream and it is loo thin to whip, | find it very good to place the dish in a basin of cold water. This coOlS the cream and makes it whip without difficulty.
 Patent leather shoes should be al lowed 10 get warm on the feet when new and then a little vaseline should be rubbed in. This will prevent crack ing. --ae
 A good mixture to set color in cotton materials is one tablespoonful of tur- pentine. a handful of salt and a pail of cold water
 If aluminium cooking vessels get scorched do not scrape them. Half fill with water, add a teaspoonfUl of soda and boil for ten minutes. Many bits of mending are best done without stitches. Lay the garment on the ironing board, wrong side up: put i edges together. lay over the rent d bit of rubber tissue and over that a bit of the material then a damp cloth over that and press with a hot iron till dry.
 Dry bran is an excellent cleaner for dainty velvet flowers and woolen fla bric. Rub the spoiled spots harder | than the rest. then brush it all off. By slipping stiff collars into a glass or tumbler after they are ironed and allowing them to thoroughly dry they can be made to keep their shape To freshen a skirt that has become { Nriukied and mussed. from packing brush carefully so that the dust may be removed and hang over q tub of not water.

THE CLOCK THAT DOESN'T KEEP
 TIME

Editor Social Corner: In almost ev- cry house in these days there are one or more clocks that run too fast. or too slow. or not at all.
 We all ought 10 know more about clocks, and then we should use them better and get more good service from them.
 Clocks need to be attended to by one faithful person. If hung on wall they must be plumb. and if set on 3 mantel they must be level. These are points which must be carefully at tended to, for walls are often out of plumb and shelves saggy.
 A clock should be wound at d regu- lar time. and Sare taken not to make the spring too tight. The hands should never he pushed backwards, and as they reach he striking point should he stopped until the clock has ceased 70 strike.
 If it is too fast of too slow. pay at tention to the regulator. and if slow push d bit toward Eff fast bit Toward S If clock doesn't gain or lose more than i've minutes a week, do not fool with il.
 It used to he the rule if a clock stopped and refused to so when there was no visible cause, one must send for clock repairer Now just lay il on it's face and soak il with gasoline

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner Now that the price of eggs is going down they may soon be reasonable enough to he used for food.
 If you like eggs especially well you proba bly know already that they make tasty sandwiches. but did you ever try hard boiled eggs chopped me. mix ed with sweet. crisp green peppers. the whole mixture moistened with juss enough mavonnaise TO hold it together and make it palatable9 Spread on thin. buttered rye bread these make very good sandwiches.
 Another toothsome filling is to scramble the eggs, and add minced ham and enough finely chopped onion to give it flavor. Or vary this, if you ike. by having the eggs hard boiled and adding string beans and picked beets.
 One girl who is very fond of cream cheese. spread the cheese on one side of a butter thin, spread rich home made peanut butter on the side of an- other and put them together.

AN NTERESTING CHAT FROM
 LIB6IE.

Editor and Social Cornerites: My interest in the Corner grows deeper each week How much we would miss that department. I wonder who of the Corner were fortunate enough to have attended the cooking class con ducted by Miss Hanko. VIII not those who did pass on some of the recipes to those of us who could not have the privilege of seeing the work-and no less pleasure-hearing the Victrola concerts.
 Am amused at the discussion of heated vs. cold sleeping rooms I much enjoyed reading of the lady who ex- pressed her desire to be comfortable My idea also is. that health and life and warmth belong together.
 However, as we are free to do as we please, why not go our way and let others have the same privilege?
 Greetings to the two new members of goodly age, Mrs. NJ NJ and A Sis ter from the West. Would it not be interesting if the department could publish a list of all contributors names? As I just looked over copies am surprised to see the names that seldom appear now. I am hoping Billie comes again with her ever sensible letter
 Aunty No l No, l am innocent of using any name but the one signed me with someone.
 Time goes swiftly and work must be done: but l read all the letters. Would also answer a card from Aunty No. l or others
 Is it possible Ella of Canterbury thinks Ma is tending chickens in Jan uary or does she mean hens?
 Yes. F. of C.. I for one have house plants. They escaped the frost those zero nights and are blooming bright and cheery.
