Dear Social Corner Sisters: My first thought is to thank you all for your many kindnesSeS to me in the past few months, and te Those of you who have said: Tt must be nice to be at home again" I agree with youl . It certainly will be, when I get there.
 Home you know, with me is a sum- mer word. In winter ] just stay. Just before I went to the hospital I thought to write about How to Efve Alone;" my advice now is Don't tryi" It isn't at all satisfactory.
 When I was in the hospital thought to write and tell you of life there, for really hospital isn't such a bad place. especially If you are only sick abed for three-quarters of each day, and the remaining quarter you are able to be up and around. as 1 was, and you go well fortified with a cheerful spirit to be happy yourself. and to do what you are able to help the more help less pass the time away.
 One patient an elderly man from the country, who was having his first hos pital experience, told me, after he had been there several days: When came l felt pretty blue. but I heard you laughing and I thought this can't be such a dreadful place There's one patient having cheerful time, and 1 felt better right away"
 My friends were all lovely to me. I had beautiful flowers, a nice nurse, WtlO was h1nunSSS pSfSODlHeQ, anu not forgetting the many messages from the Social Corner.
 I really had six weeks of rest and quiet, which will prove very beneficial But enough of this; just now I am en- toying the sights of the Capitol City. staying with 8 friend; have been in Hartford four weeks.
 Am I right Dreamer, don't you live here? If you do we should meet and have a cup of tea together. That's the rule where I came from.
 I miss the Social Corner friends I used to meet on the street, but sprint g will be here soon. and I anticipate a genuine good time putting my house to rights for the summer. Those of you who went to the South l Coventry picnic may be glad to know ! I am staying with the small boy 8 mother. The small boy and I have good times together. My family get to see me every few weeks. I am busy finishing some of the various kinds of work I had in some of those bags you have heard about, and altogether am very comfortable and happy. MARRIED AND HAPPY.

AS THE TWIe IS BENT.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I am much interested in the care and early training of children; for on the care and training of the present gen. eration rests the future welfare of our beloved cauntry. It seems to me that for the past two or three decades there has been a noticeable change in the environment and influence in the education of the young people in these New England homes.
 If, as some think, in the early days there was too much sternness and strict obedience through fear of pun ishment in the home government, now 1t seems as if the pendulum of govern ment in the home had swung too far the other way and where once there was respect and reverence for all that was good and holy, and for the aged and a conformance to the laws of the land now the young people in many homes and communities seem to act as if the earth belonged to them. and everything must contribute to their happiness, without any special effort on their part.
 It makes me shudder to hear some young veople talk to their parents. and to others outside of the home circle. Some have no respect at all for the aged or enfeebled. I do not lay all the blame on the young people, all though it seems as if they should have some natural pride.
 If the influence surrounding these young people in their early life had been what it should have been in their homes their conduct would be very diff ferent today from what it is, 1t seems to me. If the little ones in the home see the father and mother consid- crate for the comforts of each other and all in the home, and ever respectful to all; and often giving up things for the comfort of others, they will learn by example that one is not to receive all the benefits regard less Of any one else
 Those children who are early taught to help each other and wait on them selves when it is best for them to do so. and do what they can to help make the home sleasant, are the ones who will love their home best and be the most 10th to leave it when they grow older
 Yeu can teach children when they

It is not necessary to order them to do it: with suggesting to them some nice place for them to have their things and how nice they look always in order when not using them, much work for the mother is saved, and the little one is being taught a useful lesson that it is so much bet ter to have everything in order than to not ever know where anything Is to be found.

THE SOCIAL CoRNEEs FOURTH
 ANNIVERSARY.

Dear Editor and Sisters; How fast the days get by. Even the warm, Un- seasonable days we have had were a foretaste of the days we are to expect the alert to get the first broody hen to setting, and the annual epidemic of house cleaning breaks out in the fam flies Of our readers and writers; and numerous packages of garden and flower seeds brought forth for early planting.
 We associate planting and growing with the springtime, and development later on; and so it was one time in spring that the thought of our Editor took root and produced this charming Social Corner. The growth has been steady and has reached proportions which we are proud of on it's fourth anniversary.
 Our first Corner was tiny affair. taking up but one column and a small part of another, with but six writers; nevertheless a very social company. and one which directly drew help and good cheer from others,

Dear Sisters: A few weeks ago one of the Sisters told us of a man who had tact; also of one who had not. There are a surprisingly few who pos and when and where to say it.
 A few days ago while I was calling on a friend, I will call her LottIe, be- cause that is not her name. she spoke of having been ill with heInorrhages from the head. Naturally, she needed cheering up, which her family and friends tried to do. A neighborly old soul lived near her who thought it her duty to come in nearly every day. She would start out something like this: 'I have been hurrying to get over to see you l know you must be lonely and blue. I needn't ask you how you are feeling, for you look awfully- You must be careful. I know of a woman who died while having a hemorrhage like that" and continuing on in that cheerful strain.
 One day when Lottie was well enough to go out for & short walk she stepped into the nearby grocery. The proprietor said: '-Pm glad to see you out again. Sayl but you do look bad! Well. we're here today and don't know where we'll be tomorrow"
 Lottie went hobe discouraged and told her family that she would have to move into a new locality or she would never get well.
 Her husband replied: Human na- ture is the same the world over. Stay here and get we'll" Which, strange to say, she did.
 I will send a recipe for the young folks

A WatertoWn lawyer tells a story about a woman from
the country who wanted d divorce. When the case got
into court the Judge, disregarding for the moment the tech
nical grounds, tried to find out the real reason for the iady's
desire to be separated from the man she had lived with for
50 many years. The man himself was in court with a law
yer and it looked as if he was going to- fghtfhe case.

have to find with your husband 8
