 q 70 melted chocolate
 While the girls of the family or par ty are doing this the young men may be busyiag themselves in cracking and removing the Walnuts from their shells. Then. each can lay 3, half of the wal nut meat neatly. on the top of the he1nisplleres or on the sides of the spheres
 Fudoe-1Iix two cupfuls. of sugar ana one cup or n1llk. Place on a. stove to heat When 1t is well warmed add three Eheapingl ltablespoonfuIs of cfloc- olate (gFated} and a tablespoonful of butter.

 Dear Editor and Social Corner SiS- ters: This is rather late to wish you all 8 Happy New Year; but sickness has prevented my writing before, 50 this Is my first opportuni to wish happiness and prosperity for the cou1~ ing, year to all the Social Corner cir cle.
 Annette: I tried your uncooSed fruit cake, combined with cream and chocolate fudge for my Christmas candy. We liked 1t very much.
 Theoda: Rather an odd coincidence gets that recipe book may count her. self a very fortunate person. - Married and Happy: Won't ycu please send in the recipe for the bacon fat salad dressing you men tioned We like bacon and any new Ruth; Perhaps the married wor1er of The Corner do not think tk2t Q free and full discussion" of that question is necessary. think every woman Of average intelligence knows her rights, and more than that. she ! When I was a girl I knew one VEo. man whose husband never. allowed her any money to spend, but either d:d the shopping for her. or else tagged around after her to pay the bill. a3d decide whether she might or might not have the things she wanted That poor woman has been dead some time. Her successor, hear. won't stand for any such thing, but r1lies both the roost and the pocketbock. Really, I credit our Social Corner Sis ters. with having spirit enough to get what they earn without having to be for it, don't you, Ruth?
 Dactylis: Why print another COOK book? , The Social Corner will doubt less contain as much good material n the next four years as it has ia the last. Save your papers and make youT own book to suit yourself
