SOCIAL CORNER POEM.


 The Three Beet Things. Let me do my work from day to day: In field or forest, at the desk or loom; In roaring market-place or tranquil room, Let me find it in my heart to say. When vegrant wishes beckon me This is my work; my blessing. not my doom; of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done. in the right way" Then shall see it. not too great, nor small, To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I, cheerful. greet the la- boring hours. And cheerful turn when the long shad- ows fall At evenfide, to play and love and rest Because know for me my work Is best. Iss mo but live my life from year to With forward face and unreluetant soul
 Not hastenins to. nor turning from the goaa; 1est mourning for the things that Ns- In the dim past. nor holding back in From wha. the future veils, but with a whole And happy heart. that pays its toll 10 Youth and Age. and travels on with 30. let the way wind up the hill or down
 
 ney will be joy; stfn seeking what I sought when but a boy, New friendship. high adventure, and a crown. [ shall grow old, but never lost life's Because the roads last turn will be the best. Let me but love my love without dis guise, Nor wear mask of fashion old or Nor wait to speak till I can hear a clue, Nor play a part to shine in others eyes
 denies; But what I am. to that let me be And let me worship where my love Is due. And so through love and worship let me rise. For love is but the hearts immortal thirst To be completely known and all for given, Even as sinful souls that come to Heaven; So take me, love, and understand my worst And pardon it. or love, because con- fessed, And let me find in thee, my love. my best. Henry Van Dyke in Outlook.

HOW TO TRAP RATS.

Dear Editor and Cornerites: The Social Corner always contains some thing new and interesting
 To think happiness makes for sell fishress is treason to the truth. Ii is the sweetest gift in life, and when it IS absent it Is hard to keep the other good things of life in order Gloomy forebodings like mildew blight the best things in life.
 Betsy Bobbitt: I've a bit of your oddity. The yellow bow when daintly arranged is a simple and pretty em- blem which pleaseS me. If the ma jority want a pin I shall not protest Jim: Have you ever tried this scheme to catch rats. Cut or break a hole in a glass jar put food inside and bury the jar so the hole comes level with the surface of the earth. When the rat gets in the smooth sides of the trap prevents his getting out.
 I hope all the sick ones will be able to get out in the pure air. Nothing is better for invalids.
 I close with good wish for all Cor nerites.

J. A. K. SUGGESTS THE PIN BE
 DROPPED.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:-I am no better than when l of my chair. /I am so discouraged Now what do you all think of The Editors letter in last weeks peper. It seemed to me he does not favor a pin, at all so I for one shall drop the subject, until some one else picks it up.
 When I suggested the Social Corner Sisters ought to have an Emblem, l supposed each one of the members would pay a certain amount towards 1t, same as the D. A. R. did when they got theirs; but the Bulletin would not allow that I see quite a few of the Cornerities objected to having anything of the kind. so I think better let it die a natural death and say no more about it What is the object of The Corner ties?
 Crimson Rambler: You will hear from me soon again. Will tell you what you wanted to know; but you must not give 1t away; please re- member that It hurts me so to write I shall have to stop; and then my writing is so poor. can hardly read it myself my hand Is so shakey.
 Here is good luck to the Editor, and all the Sisters hoping this may find you all well and happy. is the wish of

 When J. A K. proposed a pin on an emblem had already been accepted, orange yellow bow-and those who wished for some token of identification seemed satisfied with it.
 The Bulletin does not approve of any assessment of the Social Corner writers for any purpose whatever. If the writers spontaneously unite In giving for some benevolent rurpose The Bulletin will always be found do- ing it's part.
 The distribution of pins to persons whose only interest in the Corner is to write and get a pin would not be just to constant writers and in effect would be an imposition.
 The Editor is not opposed to any movement on the part Of his cor respondents which will please them or improve this department If the ma jority were for the pin The Bulletin would gladly stand the cost.
 The vote thus far stands in favor and 8 against. The discussion has excited very little interest.

CLOTHES FOR THE BABY BOY.

Dear Social Corner Sssters:-Thers may be young mothers among you wao are puzzled as to the dress to pre- pare for the little man. Beginning at birth, a baby boy wears blue when a touch of color is desired. Girls are given pink.
 During ba.byhood a boys clothes do not differ greatly from his sisters in regard to material and model. but less trimming. or rather, plainer decora- tion is evident. For instance, tucks and feather stitching will take place of lace and embroidery.
 As soon as a boy walks he is put Into a one piece dress on the romper order. The material may be gingham or chambray, linen or ptQue The let tie garment closes up to the neck with a fiat finish and the leg part is in knicker style gathered in so as to aI- low plenty of fullness. which these &C., tive little bodies win need for com fort in taking exercise.
 The best dresses are embroidered solidly in emblems or e conventional design just over the breast, either fin white or a fast color. Since boys clothes need rather vigorous launder- ing. perhaps white will be the more serviceable.
 At the old time skiItD age boys are put into a two piece suit The new est is described as being a combina- ton of mtddy blouse and oyeralls. The blouse closes double breasted and comes quite up to the neck It is flt- ted with buttons (mother's waist fash ion) around the waist to correspond with buttonholes worked at the top of abbreviated overalls, which. by the way. are cut quite loose. They end bo- low the knee and the blouse is tucked in at the top Altogether, this is a most comfortable and practical gar ment The suit can be of one color, but e white blouse and dark blue trousers make a small boy look ve-y cunning.
 This dress has taken the place of the Russian blouse model as a romp around suit The Russian and the Buster Brown styles are worn for best at this age.
 At 6 or comes the sailor suit pe- riod-frst, kniciSer trousers then with the straight. Kindergarten cloth, good ginghams. linen and duck are excel lent wear resisting fabrics for sailor suits.
