HOW TO MAKE COUNTRY LIFE
 INTERESTING.

Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: The indications were that they would have a bright and clear day for Aunty's lawn party. No doubt several of us envy you who live within reason able distance and are able to attend.
 We often hear young. girls remark, "Oh, I shall choose some work in the city. I don't wish to live in the coun- tTy when I am older, for it is too monotonous."
 Many women prefer the city for this reason. and because the work is incessant and not interesting
 It is true that the constant and un- ending round of daily duties, one un- eventful day day following another and a lack of congenial companions. tend to make ones life monotonous and is injurious to ones spirit and health.
 First, we should make work easier by checking ourselves from working necessarily and continuously for hours on a stretch, and from infringing on the hours which should be spent in sleep.
 Someone may remark, ,s"How can we do otherwise, when we can't even with driving and rushing, accomplish all we ought to do"; while others will say it can be done for I have learned by experience that short periods of work intersperSed with short periods of rest will produce better results than the same amount of strength and ener- gy expended continually.
 No matter how necessary it is to accomplish a certain amount of work stop before you are too wearied to do more
 Cooking at times seems a wearlsome task because one makes the same things day after day; break away from this habit and try some new dishes: you will find the family will show their appreciation by heartily partaking Of them.
 Try to make the dreaded task easier by finding some easier way of doing it, and thus that special duty will be- come more interesting. A new dress, rearranging the fur niture, and occasionally buying a new piece, entertaining guests and relating pleasant incidents or an amusing story when all are collected together will make ones day eventful and in. teresting.
 Spare time can be spent in va. rious ways. Some of it should bt ! spent in simply resting by letting ev. 1 cry muscle relax: then other tim, should be spent in reading to keeI ourselves in touch with the curren events of the day. and also to be fami liar with the best books Of fiction then time should be spent in core spending with absent friends and rel atives so that the arrival of the mai man will be of interest to us. fev hours each week should be spent il calling on the neighbors, taking pleas ant walks and drives. We will fin, these various ways of occupying ou ] time will furnish material to thinl about while one is working; and als give us something to talk about a meal time, or when the days work i done.
 The housewife will find time thu <, spent, even though she is busy. vii make the days eventful and interest i ing and that there will be no occasion
 to say that country life is full o
 monotony.

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.

The Birds Thanksgiving. Oh. list to the chime, The exquisite rhyme, The warble of birds in the glad
 springtime. Meath each feathered coat; From each throbbing throat, The praise to Jehovah swells, note
 upon note. The storm king at last Has died in the blast, And the long, dark night of the year
 is past. While the morning brings On its dewy wings Sweet buds and the promise of better
 things. Lc! the forest rings; Not a bird but sings Thanksgiving and praise to the King
 of Kings. When the sun shines bright, They bask in it's light, Forgetting the shadow and gloom of
 night. Only man holds fast, With miserly grasp Ts the storms and wrongs of the mo- mentS passed. He keepeth the smart Deep down in his heart. 4 Rejecting Gods love and the better
 part. While His praise we sing, We think of the sting How God hath denied us some valued
 thing. We cherish the wrong In our hearts so long, It saddens our lives and burdens our ..-- song. Then sing, birds of spring! Praise, warble and sing, Till the woods, the hills and the wales
 shall ring Till we catch the strain, - And glad refrain, Goes forth to our Maker, unshared
 with pain. <Rose Hartwick Thorpe, authnrvs of

HOW TO JUDGE MEAT AND COOK

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: Here I come again with just a few hints about buying and cooking meat.
 cooking and preparation. Apiece of beef from a cut that cost ten to fif- teen cents per pound can be made as attractive, appetizing and nutri- tious as a cut from the loin that will cost from twenty-five to thirty-f1ve cents per pound.
 Second, insist upon seeing the carcass from which the meat is to be cut. See that it carries the stamp "U. s, Inspected and Passed" which is a guaranty from the government that the meat is healthy.
 Third, a prime piece of meat will not only carry an outside covering of fat, but all through the lean meat will be small specks of fat, giving it marbled appearance. With a little ]. experience anyone can tell good meat from poor.
 Fourth, in cooking beef remember the sap or juice of the beef is one of the most important parts of the meat It should be so cooked as to retain the juices. To do this, in the case of a steak, place close to the fire at first turning frequently until the out side is scared brown. Then so place 1t that 1t can cook slowly until done. / Remember rare meat does not mean raw meat. If not cooked it will have a blueish purple color. When beef is rare it Is cooked in it's own sap
 Five. Beef should not be fried in grease. For convenience it may be cooked upon a hot trying pan or skill let. In this case use no grease and turn the steak over two or three times to scar the outside and retain its juices. Never cook beef in boiling grease.
 Sixth-In roasting beef have the oven very hot before putting it in. This will scar the outside and seal in the sap.
 Then lower the temperature of the oven slightly and let it roast slight ly and let it roast until done to the point desired
 seventh-Pot roast should be pai boiled and finished with very little water, and kept covered. A good plan is to first boil tender then take : off the water and finish by roasting in the oven.
 Efghth-Do not have the. bone cut out of a roast. It cooks better and is sweeter with the bone left in. The bone also helps to hold the sap in the meat.
 Ninth-Disabuse your mind of the idea tht it is not fashiona ble to place the cheaper cuts of beef on vol11 table The meat bills of the hightesl salaried chefs of the, wealthiest lam flies are much smaller than the av-

A quiet spell followed every little difference of opin- ion between them, and every other form of disobedience or unpleasant ness After few days the resentment all disappeared and they took their quiet spells as a matter of course "a sort of dose of medicine that had to be taken, but which wasn't particular ly bitter.
