A CHAT FROM PAPA'S BOY.
WITCH HAZEL

Dear Editor and Social Corner Ones: Though for quite while I have been absent from the circle, I have read all the letters every week. I never thought about writing for the anniver- sary, but this will have to be counted as one. How are all the brothers and sisters?
 Rural Delivery: Is 1t my turn to write or yours? Am looking for one every day from you.
 Elizabeth: Where have you been these past weeks? Hope you have read these letters as I have.
 Cherisette: Be on the watch for me the 2Sth; also the evening of the S1st. Aunt Sarah: Wasn't it bad travel ing for autos Monday? Mine wasn't very clean when I reached home, as wish 1t might have been.
 Peggy Anne: How Is wee Peggy? Am coming up again some day.
 Merry Farmers Boy: Guess the masquerade was too much for you. Get busy with your pen or pencil.
 Jim: Hope to see you and your fam fly some time this summer.
 Kettle Maria: Have been by your home many times. Sometimes have seen you and again not. Will speak if I see you next time as I drive past.

THE MAN WHO ONLY THOUGHT
 HE WAS BOSS.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends It sometimes takes showers of blessings to make one realize his many opportunities and privileges. Conditions must be just right or we lay dormant.
 The Social Corner writers of July 14th must have found these conditions propitious. evidenced by the large mum Der contributing sentiment of good will and fellowship, and happy in the fact they were members of this social band The writer wishes each and every one God-speed in all that e1e- yates, dignif1es and strengthens.
 I am also pleased that the Social Corner writers recognize and appre- ciate the Social Corner Editor
 There ts no successful business or social enterprise today that may ex- pect to succeed without a head Even the little every day pin must have a head to be successfully used. Put two heads on the little wonder and at once it becomes useless. even for a chfld's dunn b bell. This Is just as true in civic home. A home with two heads invari- ably breeds discontent, especially is this true today, because political hy- dra is entering there. house divided against itself cannot stand.
 Is this not 100 true among the churches? If every attendant would ask this question. Am I competent (who is one of His ministers.'O I am sure there would be different spirit existing in the church than exists to- day. It is the height of folly to be a pretendef if lacking in lnowledee; and it seems t6 me tS be the height Of folly for any lay man to foster the idea that they afa as- cehaseteHt te siudks

HOW TO MEND CRACK IN STOVE.

Members of the Social Corner: Three cheers for the Anniversary page and the Editor. It was just fine. Sorry could not add my mite. The Social Corner is certainly a great feature of The Bulletin and Courier. We get so many good things in it and it seems to me the letters have been better than common the past few weeks. if that were possible.
 Biddy: You certainly are a hustler You make me think of myself for mal<- ing several kinds of cake from one batch. Am going to try the caramel part of yours. Your directions for making a copying pad were fine and will no doubt prove a help to many.
 Sunbonnet Sue: Shall make an apron from your pattern.
 Cordelia: Am going to try Scalloped Scraps some day.
 The front side of my range at the end of the fire box seems to be spread off a little so that it makes d crack where the ashes sift down into the oven.

CALIFORNIA RAIN BEATS THEM
 ALL,

Editor and Social Corner Friends: am lltle slow about writing to the social Corner, as an old member but as am not as old as several others, tnaEoe you will excuse my late visit
 see there are a few letters from old writers, but very few from the very oldest ones
 The Corner is four years old. and 1t IS about two and half years since I nrst knew you. I have enjoyed your Nlslts and found many of the sugges- tlons me. have received many nice postaIs and interesting letters from some Of the members and I am sure we would miss The Corner. If the So- claI family keeps growing, am think ing, 1t will keep the Editor busy with so many to look out for
 We'll spring time is here again. We shall all be busy house cleaning and gardening soon.
 We are having lovely weather. I nave quite few flowers blooming out or doors. and sweet peas just conina up me garden well cared for means plenty of work, but the pleasure one gets from Natures work more than pays for our labor
 l hope we shall hear from all the old members at least once each year.
 Let us welcome the new friends. and remember the old ones, and thank the Editor for his trouble and kindness to one and all
 Ma: Hope to hear from you again suppose you are busy with your little chicks
 Snowball: Received your pretty green card Thank you for remembering your western sister.
 Cal. Poppy: May know your friends Tn Seattle. I know what a California rain means; have experienced some very hard stoTms-cyclones in Kansas cloudbursts in Colorado, thunder show CTS in old Connecticut. and many rains Tn Washington, and six years of Ore gon mlst-but for real doWnpour California beats them all I know. for have been there.
 But California can boast of many grand and beautiful things so we can excuse her drawback. She is one of our sister states, and we are proud of her. 0-

as he (the head) who has devoted his life work for edlfcation to mankind
 What is the sign of the times? h. difference. independence. The head cannot be useful without the body neither can the body get along with out the head, therefore separately they are nil. A community without church of some kind would soon bring about a state of chaos.
 Going to church will not save a mans soul. but is it not one of the essentials? Does it not have a good influence? Every person who aims to live up to the teachings of the church Is making progress. Every lamp that gives light must have a fresh supply of oiI-that oil Is always to be found at the head-the church. and although we may hear something there that will give US 8 trimming, if accepted in the right spirit 1t will make our lights burn brighter during the week.
 Sisters and brothers. why can't we have a real picnic this summer? Not one of the kind we read about, but a real affair.
 What do you say children" a gen. uine affair Perhaps little levity will do to wind up with. Perhaps it will help to illustrate the relation Of the head to the pin.

 Father, who should be boss, I or my wife?"
 The old man smiled and said: Here are a hundred hens and team of horses Hitch up the horses, put the hens into the wagon, and wher- ever you find a man and his wife dwelling stop and inquire who is boss. Whenever you find a woman running things leave a hen.

THANKS TO THE TEN.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Writ CTS: I thank the ten who sent me those beautiful cards.
 Dear Ready: How did you know my grandmother was born in sight of that castle? Are you a clairvoyant? I am sure Crimson Rambler must have a thinking heart. Auntie No. 1: Don't ever forget with all your other duties. The Old NH on the Stream warmed my heart. I own one Frank and see there are other nice ones
 R. F. D. is all right. I seem to know it.

NOT AN EASY PROBLEM.

Dear Social Cornerites: Once more I write to let the Social Corner know that I am still in existence and think of you all. even if I fail to write. I wonder if all the Social Corner sisters find it as hard to write as I do. To read the letters anyone would think it an easy problem, but I fail to find 1t so.
 NJ. Roena: I am sure you can guess who I am, even if I have changed my name. Have you forgotten to answer my card? I am waiting patiently for the bungalow to be completed, as I want to take a vacation. although I am afraid I would get lost so far from home.
 Glenwood: Do write again. Your letters are so interesting.
 Faye Verna: Wish I might catch the housekeeping fever also.
 With love to all the sisters of the Corner.

l to be with you once again. How good 1 it seems to have 1t warmer. l think
 such changeable weather is the worst | thing for rheumatics and I have had all kinds. all winter. all over: but at present my hands are so l can write Crimson Rambler: Thanks for kind l wishes. My hands have been the same with St. Jacobs Oil? If not, try it next time: there is nothing like it for rheumatism. Don't rub up. but always down. to take it off. Anyone who has rheumatism has my heartfelt sym pathy as I have had it all my life. All doctors say I inherited it. Another thing I suffer from is head aches, so will send a few home rem edies. hoping someone may be bene- fitted by them:
 For Bilious Sick Headaehe-Take teaspoonful each of tincture of rhu- barb and extract of peppermint and piece of baking soda size of pea; add little hot water and drink and almost instant relief will follow. For Headache on Top of Head or at NaPe of Neek-Take fresh lettuce leaves, or horse radish and bind on and keep renewing fresh ones. For Periodical Hsadaehes-n pos sible soak feet in mustard water, then put oilstove by bed and put a. stew
 
 heat and wiring out cloth and put on top of head and fold several thick nesses of cloth and lay over it to steam, a heavy turkish towel over that and keep renewing cloths so they won't be too wet. After a few hours after this treatment you will go to sleep. This Is also fine for neuralgia in the head
 For Headache in Forehe ead-Some- times raw potatoes sliced, or lemons bound on, will effect a. cure. Hot Bags of Salt will sometimes stop one And ofttimes I find bathing tenn
 pies and behind the ears with sweet spirits of nitre will stop one Here is a remedy I want you all to remember: Plantain leaves are fine bound on for headaches, and for sting I have found crushing plaintain leaves
 and binding on and when they become wilted renew with fresh ones; this will
 cure & sting when everything else fails.
 Sister Ready: Have you tried feath- er-edge braid; also, novelty braid with tatting Some beautiful designs can
 be made by combining the two, espe- cially the feather-edge braid. for in- sertions. There is nothing prettier and nothing so easy to make, after you have learned the stitch as tatting, and it never wears out Another pretty way is using hairpin trimming with it. You can make really lovely things with the two.
 When I was six years old I watched
 my teacher making tatting and I took
 some of the old thread she threw away and tied a pin on the end (pretending it was shuttle) and learned the stitch
 that way all myself.

HOW SHE CAME BY HER PEN
 NAME,

Dear Social Corner Members: Here come again. so soon,- some or the sisters will say. Well, ] never saw Gala Lily blossom SO often before.
 I wouldn't blame you. but you know Easter is most here and the florist pushes the plants for blossoms and I wouldn't wonder if the Social Corner should be full of blossoms for Easter, as we have a large collection of flow CTS in our family.
 Why I came again so soon was to six Snowball who said she was going to telephone me some time, by what way I could get her a card, as I saw by March 14th Social Corner letters there were two.
 Bee: It's a long wait for that prom ised letter you were going to send me a year or longer ago.
 Interested Reader! Did you get all used up at Christmas? Hope you are rested by now and will write again soon.
 Peggy Anne: Your name brings back childhood memories, It was my nick name, given ms by an old man who was 8 friend and neiglIbor of ours.

 I have a couple of tested recipes I am sending in this week and I hope the Sisters will try them. especially the Mousse, for 1t is delicious.
 Coffee Mousse-One cup of pulver- ized sugar, one-quarter cup of butter, three teaspoons cocoa. two tablespoons of dry coffee boiled in one cup of wa ter; mix well together while hot; cool. Then add one pint of whipped cream; beat all together until thoroughly mixed; then pour into baking powder cans-it will fill three; pack in snow or ice, with plenty of salt; let stand four hours. or longer if the weather is not very cold. Of course, one can sub and hope some of the Sisters will try it and let me know the results.
 Creamed Oysters-Place one pint of oysters in Stewpan and let them heat through; remove the oysters and add one cup of milk to the broth; beat a heaping teaspoon of flour in little cold milk and stir into the broth; if the latter is not now of the consistency of cream. add more four; season with pepper and salt and considerable but ter; have ready a platter of split milk crackers, heated in the oven; lay the oysters upon the crackers and pour the cream over the whole, or the oys- ters can be served without the crack CTS.
 I wonder if any of the Sisters know about Tiger Lily Eminent Take the blossoms and put them into a large nosed bottle and fill it up with new rum. You can use it for cuts, bruises, sprainS or any sore; it is healing and will take out soreness the quickest of anything know of. It is an o:o-fash- toned flower, but it has wonderful curative power I get the flowers and dry them, then when I want them to use they are ready
 I hope some of the Cornerites will try the above remedy when the sea- son comes around to get them.
