Milled Chocolate

q read in your Corner of a beverage called miiled chocolate. There were no di- rections how to prepare 1t. Would you mind printing directions for about 10 or 12 cups? I am assuming that 1t is drink, which may be used as a refreshment.
 SUBSCRIBER Heat two cups of milk and the same of water putting a tiny pinch of soda in the milk. Rub smooth six tablespoons of chocolate with cold water, adding water gradually until you have a thin paste. Bring quickly to a boil, cook five minutes in the pint of hot water. pour in the hot milk and boil for 10 minutes (stirring) Turn into a heated syllabub set in boiling water to restore the heat lost in churning; pour out and cap each cup with whipped cream. Churns made expressly for milling chocolate may be bought of house fur nishing shops, but syllabub churn does the work as well.

 Almost every man of philanthropic spirit, feminine acquaintance was wear ing boutonniere yesterday purchased from this same shop, rather than the flor ists, It was found a difficult matter tc re- sist pretty Miss Bland Tomlinson and Helen Eubanks with their big baskets of flowers, so everybody bought; for how much? Oh, various prices; few pennies only were asked, but some paid-as much as $20 for a blossom. A tribute to the cause. yes-or maybe to the charms of the pretty women of the gift shop.
 The place decorated by Mrs. Kettig and her committee is a brilliant and beau tiful corner, all draped with mock orange blossoms and laden with so many silken bags and boxes, and baskets with bril- liant ribbon bows, that it makes a glow ing spot in the beautiful lobby.

Some Helping Hand
 Hints for the Home
By MARIAN KIRKLAND
Hints That Help

As have suggestions which may be oi value to the Corner, I herewith send them. l have worked out other problems Of like nature, and I shall be happy tc send them if you would care to havs them: To prevent rusting of stoves, make a thin coating of three parts lard. melted with one part of resin. Apply this and stoves and grates will not rust In the summer To clean kid gloves, dampen a few bread crumbs and rub on the gloves. For cold on the chest, a flannel dipped in boiling water and slightly sprinkled with turpentine laid on the chest, will quickly relieve the most severe cold.
 "MARTHA.' It should go without saying that we will accept any number of suggestions you may favor us by sending if they are of the same quality as those for which we are already indebted to you. The Corner is just the place for them.

MIR. AND MRS. CROCKARD
 HOSTS FOR VISITORS

Mrs. Frank H. Crockard's dance last night in compliment to Mrs. Ebert H.. Gary was one of the many Inequalities arranged to include a selected coterie during the meeting of the Steel insti- tute. Mrs. Gary, who has been enter tained in Birmingham before. was intro- duced in this delightful fashion to a few of Mrs. Crockard's friends, most of whom remembered her as delightfully unaf- fected and interesting woman, to whom the spontaneous type of Mrs. Crockard' s dance was particularly appropriate. The affair was gracefully planned, as are all parties in the Srockard home, and includ- ed some of the most interesting people in society.
 The Crockard residence was decorated for the evening in autumn foliage and brilliant autumn flowers, the gay riot of color which the season affords The guests were invited for 10 o'clock, and during the later evening a delicious buffet supper was served.

Canned Cucumhers

T note call for a recipe for slicing cucumbers for winter use. l send mine. as 1t may be the one wanted I certainly think it fine. Peel and slice as for table use medium sized cucumbers. To 12 good sized cucumbers one or two medium handfuls of salt. Sprinkle over them, cover and put on a press; let all stand until salt enough to taste good. Use salt according to size of cucumbers. Draw off the water and put the cucumbers into glass jars. Fill each jar full and cover with cold cider vinegar. Run knife down into the jar so that the vinegar gets to the bottom. Sprinkle the top of the vinegar with a little good quality of black pepper. Seal tightly. When opened in the winter put on little fresh vine- gar before serving at the table. These are fine also with onions sliced with them when serving. but do not put them in when canning. If the vinegar is good and the jars are air tight you will have no trouble in keeping them-two important points.
 IN. c. H."
 I had not intended printing another recipe for pickling cucumbers this season. but this answers questions to which no other has responded and answers so well and fully that l cannot withhold 1t.

Among the number of interesting events arranged for the visitors this week was the dinner given last night by MT. and Mrs. Henry Badham and including g group of the younger set.

Detests Dish Washing

q was much interested in the dish washing problem. You ask why did not men invent a dish washer, as they had invented almost every other kind of use full article for outdoor work. don't blame any woman for detesting the job of washing dishes. I detest, it too. Do all the members of the Corner use cake tins with loose bottoms? If not, they do not realize what they are missing.
 ''PRACT1CAL
 have seen many mechanical dishwash- ers but thus far none of them fill the measure of my fancy" as substitutes for hand work. In housewife's experience that overruns a half century, have had but one maid who washed dishes to my liking She came to me, a veritable "greenhorn," and by the time she mar ried, eight years thereafter. was an ac- complished waitress. 1 told her, in talk ing leave of her, that nobody else quite pleased me in the matter of dish wash ing" Her answer was ingenious: You see ma'am, I was that green I didn't know any better than to do just as you told me. I didn't have any way to un- learn" I have thought of the confess sion a thousand times since then.

Potato Salad

 Potato salad is so popular and so often badly made. For about four medium sized potatoes use two hard boiled eggs, save one for slicing and garnishing the dish. While hot take the other. break
 off the white and chop it with the potatoes
 and small white onion. Cream the yolk with tablespoon of butter It will melt
 the butter and you will have paste; add a little dry mustard the size of a pea if
 liked and enough vinegar to make dress ing. Stir through the potato with a wood en spoon, mixing the ess white and onion thoroughly. Garnsh with the other egg, sliced. I send this as I have tried many recipes for this dish, but fall back upon the above, which was given me by a neighbor years ago. Try 1t.
 MILDRED s. From reading the recipe you indorse we incline to your opinion. I agree with you, too, in thinking that the ordinary garden variety" of potato salad is sell l dom appetizing and often execrable. When get room and time I should like to offer formula based upon mashed potato which Is really delectable.
