Even to the names, it fits hubby anS I and we have done about that way all through our mar ried life; and we find it a very good way to do and would advise others to begin life the same way, and save all disputes.
 Betsy Bobbett: Yes, found few worms in those chestnuts; but why didn't you remind me of them? I felt dreadfully when I thought of them - Enid: I sent you a letter and it returned to me again, SO now will wait for future address.
 Merry Widow: How many times I have lived over that little visit we had at Aunt Abby's, and our ride on the trolley. hope to meet you again some day
 J. E. T.: Where were you the other day. Grace and I did well; better than she expected; and we had a fine time. tool
 School Girl: If you mean baked onions you will find the following way very palatable:
 Baked Onions: Take medium sized onions, peel and leave whole; boil in salted water three-quarters of an

oAT MEAL BREAD.

Editor of Social Corner: I saw in the Social Corner a request for a recipe for oatmeal bread, so thought would send one in:
 Oatmeal Bread-Pour 1 quart of boiling water over two cups of rolled oats. one good half cup of molasses one-half cup sugar. 1 level teaspoon salt, IA teaspoon soda and a large tablespoon lard: mix together and let stand until lukewarm. then add 1 yeast cake dissolved in a little warm water and flour enough to make a stiff dough; as it softens in rising a great deal three quarts of bread flour will be required. Let rise over night and in the morning shape into loaves. Bake one hour in oven not quite as hot as for wheat bread. This makes three leaves.
 Cream Pie--Take one cup of cream. the white of an egg beaten stiff; sweet en to taste. Bake in two crusts.
 Sponge Cake-Three eggs beaten light. 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cream tartar, 1-2 teaspoon soda, 1-2 cup hot water a little salt, l cup flour; put water in last, flavor and bake. Very good.

A LETTER FROM THE LAND OF SUNSHINE AND PERPETUAL
 BLOOMS.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Siz- ters: Our rainy season has begun and this year there is a short rain every few days. Our winter. has started in colder than last year and a fire of briquets night and morning feels goOc.
 I started a letter to you about two months ago. I wanted to tell you about all the different fruits. The melons I think were the incest and cheapest I ever had seen, and we also at so many of them. There were the lu- scious big watermelons, and several kinds of mushmelons, or cantelopes, which they are called most often here The Persian melon is a new variety, large oval and yellow meated, and very sweet. At the latter part of the season came the casaba, the winter kind which is in the market yet. Ths most common is yellowiSh green out side, shape and size of a. a@,pumpkin. The flesh is a faint yellow in the cen ter, graduating to white and 1t has e mild pineapple flavor.
 After we tired of melons there were the grapes. I was greatly pleased t0 find a real vineyard of muscat grapes, the sweetest and incest we have. They resemble the malagas, some of you have tasted them. in size, shape and pulp; but are very much sweet CT, and have a brown tinge- I went out to the vineyard with the owner myself while he picked my order. The OuSneS as they seem more Alke l1lIi9 trees, each pruned down to three branches, were about three or fouy feet high.

THE ANGELIC MESSAGE

flies had spent together were sadly missed
 one day in December Bill Jones was down cellar sorting over the apples and putting them into barrels, whcn he heard his wife singing. Evelyn Jones was the leading contralto sing CT in the village choir. and she possessed very sweet voice; but Bin had found this out years before Her voice seemed more beautiful to- day as she rehearsed with the piano accompaniment the Christmas carol that was to be given on the following Sunday: "There were Shepherds Abiding in the Fields"
 Evelyn little thought Bill with all intent, was listening.s Another meas ure rang out in sweet melody
 PEACE ON EARTH. GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN, FOREVER MORE"
 Bin was making numerous mistakes with the apples, in the assortment. He was thinking more of the words that kept ringing in his, ears: Peace on earth, good will toward men"
 His thoughts carried into effect 9 resolution. and at eight o'clock that evening the following conversation took place with neighbor Joe over tue telephone: '.Hulloi Is that you Joe?'
 ''Yes, this is Bill.' Say, cant's we settle our little difficulty by arbitration? You may build that fence over on me two rods, if you want to, but lets forgive, and forget. It's most | Christmas Joe"
 'Yes, Bill I was most to blame. We will be neighbors again, the kind we used to be. The old line fence can stay where it has always been. We will never mention the matter again: have been thinking myself lately of ! the words of tho angels PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL 1 TOWARD MEN, FOREVER MORE.' Good night. Bill.' l Good night, Joe' Come over and spend the evening tomorrow night, will you?'
 ''Yes, we will" Good bye. Yantic.

Joe Smith and Bill Jones were quite near neighbors They had lived in the quaint and quiet town of Hope vile for many years.
 Both men were farmers. Their ad- joining farms were well kept and they were quite well to do.
 The smith homested was on the main road Bill Jones' domicile was a good half mile down the pike near the junction of the Four Corners.
 Being near neighoors there was an extremely friendly feeling between both the families, and Joe or Bill would not hesitate for a moment to help each other out in times of dis tress, or difficulty.
 It was the year of '9S at 1 a. ra that Joe came down, in great excitement, saving: My wife has pneumonia, make all haste and get the doctor. Bill! Take my horse and go. I must go back home"
 The family physician who lived six miles away was soon procured and Mary's life was saved.
 Bill was fine horseback rider but he never to this day told Joe of the wild ride he had that night How his horse Dolly stumbled, and sent him over her head in the darkness This incident happened before the days of the R. 2. D. or the rural tele- phone.
 It was in April of the spring 19- that there was an estrangment be- tween these people. It hardly seemed possible. but it all happened over a short piece of line fence. Joe thought the fence was out of line. Bill did not think so. Both parties consulted le- gal counsel. and the Smith Jones lawsuit was beginning to be the talk of the town.
 During the summer months the well worn footpaths across lots for want of use, had overgrown with weels The Harvest Days were over, and ths long winter evenings had come again The social hours Joe and Bills fam

A PENNY SAVED A PENNY
 EARNED.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:-A penny saved Is penny earned. I mend my long linen, face towels, when large holes begin to come, by pulling one thread below hole, and one above, cut off and sew ends together. Use large eyed needle, and the raveling from end you cut out, piece to darn, or sew Tn the smaller holes and broken threads.
 Evening work: sit down, half hour, gossip, when neighbor runs in. easy to catch up and good example for some to profit by.
 I have learned that way many times. Good weather today, to keep one on the move.
 Many thanks to writers for Oat- meal Bread recipe.

 While I am interested in the letters and always ready to welcome new members, do miss the old ones.
