MEETING OF CLUB NO. 3.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am sending in an account of Club No. 2's second meeting. Sunshine and pleas ant weather favored those members who wended their way to the pleasant and inviting home of Lucinda on April 14th, some coming by auto. trolley and carriages, while others came on foot. All were given the Social Corner grip and a roustng welcome by the charm ing and smiling hostess.
 Each member wore her little bow of yellow, and yellow predominated ev- anywhere; In fact, everything showed a tinge of that bright color, even the large bow on the doorbell was of the same, to guide the callers to the right place.
 Several tables of whist were played. The first favors were taken by Aunt ond favors went to Annette and May fare.
 The little mascot was there as usual, full of her charming little tricks.
 After whiet, supper was announced, and all filed into the spacious dining room, where a dainty repast of salads, sandwiches, cake, coffee and fruit was served; and on leaving for home. the genial hostess presented each member dainty souvenir of the occasion.
 Music, both vocal and Instrumental, was well rendered by Joan and No Name. Zip Coon did some fancy stunts in dancing, as did Uno in the jumping act.
 The Social Corner Doctor was called away on other business and, there be- ing two severe cases that afternoon, a telephone call was sent in, but she

strange to say. the donor was not Cornerite.
 I was glad to see in last weeks paper a letter from Aunt JeruSha. Hope she will write again soon.
 I have not seen letter from Blue bird for some time. I hope she will fly in at my window again this year, as she did in August, 1914.
 Now is the time the Sisters who are fortunate enough to have a fireplace can have many enjoyable hours. When an open fire is very cheerful Then one can roast potatoes for dinner in the hot ashes, or. pop corn and toast marshmallows in the evening over the coals.
 I am interested in leftover dishes and will send one I don't remember having seen in The Corner:
 FiIlet of Beef with Oysters-when one has leftover beef which is too small to cut good slices, cut in small cubes, heat in the gravy left from the roast, place on the edge of a platter; then cook half pint of oysters in the gravy and place in center of platter; pour gravy over and garnish with parsley. This makes enough for four people.
 Bacon and Potatoes combined in the following manner is an inexpensive and delicious dish: Cut thin as many slices of bacon as there are people to prepare for. Place in large long pan and slice pared raw potatoes until the bacon is entirely covered; salt and pepper to taste, and add little water. Bake in oven until the potatoes are a rich brown, stirring occasionally.

THINGS ONE OUGHT TO KNOW.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends:-The Sisters who are in the habit of canning strawberries try put ting two tablespoons of vinegar to one quart of strawberries. This keeps them a beautiful rich color without changing their flavor. Vinegar will also remove whitewash spots.
 Saieratus or Soda-A little put into the starch, prevents clothes mi1dew- ing.
 Baking Powder-One-ha1f a tea spoon in dressing for fowls makes it more patable and lighter; mix it well with other ingredients.
 Worn Sweaters can be made over into Billy Burke hoods, using the but ton selvage for the turover section the sleeves make nice leggins and odd pieces will make nice mittens for the children
 Worn Couch Covers that are too much worn to use on the couch can be used to cover every day sofa pill low and chair cushions out of the good sections not much worn. Cloth Flour Bags-After boiling them and getting the colored letters out make very good dishwipers; split them; sew the ends together will make a good roller towel
 In winter time, try putting your hot water bottle filled with hot water In the basket of clothes to be hung out on very cold day. It makes the clothes warmer and less liable to freeze before hanging, and they will not chill the hands so much PARKWAY DAME.

 Do you ask what I am going to do with so many? Don't you know we always have friends we can divide with, and if more than we want, how easy it is to make it into nice little bundles; and what a nice price they bring!
 Sisters, if you feel blue and discour- aged, just get up early and go out into the pure fresh air, take hoe and for you;' and look around you, take an inventory of all your blessings.

HINTS AND HELPS FROM PAUL

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Do not use corn meal or tea leaves in sweep ing carpets. The corn meal has been known to attract waterbugs. if not very carefully swept up, while tea leaves, unless we'll washed, are liable to leave stains. If anything Is used let 1t be small pieces of newspaper well dampened and sprinkled about the floor.
 Soak a new broom in strong. hot salt water before using. This tough ems the bristles and makes the broom last longer.
 6athe bad bruises with tincture of arnfca, using two teaspoons to a half pint of water: or if this cannot be easily obtained, use one part vinegar to three parts water.
 Sprains-Treat a sprain with vine- gar and water as stated for bruises; or bathe constantly with salt and cold water.
 ConVuisions-Give a hot bath with out delay. and rub the body. Do not give medicine unless ordered by the doctor.
 Keep good tempered-It is far more important to keep good tempered and undisturbed even if things do go a little wrong, than to set the nerves of the whole family on edge because of some omission.
 Silent Partner: I will let you know about foot balm powder. Will send you card.
 Mould on preserves-Mould can be kept from the top of preserves by put ting a few drops of glycerine around the edges of the jar before screwing on the cover.

DO IT NOW.

NS with pleasure you are viewing any
 work a man is doing
 If you like him or you love him, tell him now; Don't withhold your appreciation till
 the person makes oration As he lies with snowy lilies OCT his brow; For, no matter how you shout 1t, he won't really care about it; He won't know how many teardrops
 you have shed; If you think some praise is due him
 now's the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone
 when he's dead! S&fore than fame and more than mon-
 ey is the comment kind and sunny, And the hearty, warm approval Of 8 friend. iRor 1t gives to life a savor, and 1t makes you stronger, braver, And it gives you heart and spirit
 to the end; If he earns your praise-bestow it;
 if you like him, let him know it; Let the words of true encourage 'ment be said; DO not wait till life is over and he's
 underneath the clover, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead! i-'f Philadelphia Telegraph.

PUTTING AWAY WINTER CLOTH.
 ING,

Dear Social Corner Friends: How good 1t seems to see mild spring weather once again; just the kind to find real pleasure, in. housecleaning.
 Many of us will soon be putting away the heavy winter clothing, and a few practical hints may not come amiss. If one has plenty of closet much better If hung on coat hangers than when packed away. Wind the part of the hanger that comes against the collar with ribbon, or protect the collar with piece of velvet, to prevent a flat or shiny streak.
 A large piece of wrapping paper crushed and loosely filled in shoulders and bust will go a long way toward Keeping coat in shape.
 one lady of my acquaintance who brides herself on the neat appearance or her clothes always uses the crush ca e paper when hanging away a coat, IT Tor no longer than over night.
 Skirts may have the top laid in three folds and put in a clamp hanger or hung with some of the homemade safety pin and loop devices.
 A pole across one end of the clothes press. to hook the hangers over will help out wonderfully in saving space.
 Hats should be well brushed: H, any loops of ribbon lightly filled out with ussuepaper and put away so that the brim or any other part will not be pressed out of shape.
 l.. H. K.: Was glad to see a letter from you in The Corner last week. snail want to try some of your soup recipes.
 X. Y. Z.: Is the maple syrup all gone yet?
 What has become of California Poppy? Too busy to write? Polly Peppermint: suppose you are now watching for the migratory birds :! 100, take much interest in them, and identify a few new ones each wear.
 Kind regards to all.

THANKS FROM FRANK.

Dear Editor and Cornerites-I hope you are all in good spirits after the drifting snow of April s3rd. Now as see the robins and blue-birds about it seems cheery. They make the world a better place for us all to live in.
 I thank the dear Sisters for the beautiful letters and cards that came my way before and after our 5th an- niversary and Easter Sunday. The pleasure of receiving them I cannot express in words. ---
 Cards came from Faith, Balsam Fir, Billie. Blanche, Lucy Acorn, Theoda, Aunty No. 1. Potlatch, Chatterbox, Etta Barber, Keziah Doolittle, Morn ing Glory, Enid, Bright Ray, Sunshine, Ready, Saturday Eve, representing the Social Corner bond of sympathy and made me feel as if you all were just over the garden wall.
 Aunt Mehitable: I am glad your arm Is so near well. If hold out some time I'll try to answer your inquiries. I appreciate all of the kind thoughts of me. I believe in the religion of love and happiness and have glorious times. Thanks for your touching kindness.

1.-THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN.

Dear Social Cornerites: I know spring is busy season to take up new duties. but as I am looking for a position and nothing was said in the ad Wanted" sent in by Balsam Fir about any requirements in the way of good looks, thought it would do no harm to inquire as to remunera- tion. What will you give in return for all these required accomplish ments? The usual wages I suppose, board and what few clothes one can make over from what No. 1 left. Let me hear from you. Also. don't forget to let me know what modern improve ments you have in the house. No vucuum, as you require an expert in broom handling. We'll, I can fill that bill all right. Also, am one of the angelic guiding kind, although I can not furnish references from my last employer-distance prohibits.
 I shall always insist upon wearing the yellow bow. however. and if I am taken for suffragette shall be proud of it. Hurrah for the suffragettes!
 I believe a woman has some rights. For instance, if her husband comes home drunk and smashes the furni- ture, I don't see why she hasn't the same right: then she should get a new supply and have the bill sent to him. One gets tired of the same things all the time. Variety is the spice of life.'' If any bodily injury is done, send for the Doctor.
 I also draw the line at whist Every time I opened my mouth my former employer would shout "Whist!" never want to hear the word again.
 One other privilege I shall insist upon is my flower garden. I want a yard full of Chrysanthemums (al- though they do not bloom in winter). I also want a generous supply of Crimson Ramblers.
 Now let me hear from that fellow who wants a wife. If we can agree, why not wedding at the Social Cor ner picnic in June? Who will fur nish a good recipe for wedding cake :? Let's hear from Aunt Abby.
 I forgot to say I have two children, a boy and a girl. Perhaps they will influence that fellow some They are both large enough to work and would save him wages. They are both be- yond school age and won't cost much in the way of clothes during summer Anyway, can make over some of the brooches that are beyond mending. for the boy, and the girl can get along somehow.
 Am a good cook-economical, etc.

have been very busy; but not too busy to read all the letters sent in. I find them very interesting and help full.
 Crimson Rambler: I don't think made a mistake in sending the card know you personally, but used to see you often when I lived in the village of S., about fourteen years ago. I had one son born there. If you visit with Merry Widow, some time I may have the pleasure of meeting you. AS we live on the same street, we have a chat every day-lots of Social Corner talk
 / M. Roena: I think you were wise in choosing home by yourself. There is no place like home, sweet home.' You must have a very pretty home hope you will live long to enjoy it.
 Am sending a few recipes. Hope the Sisters will like them.
 White Cake-One and one-haf cups of sugar, one-half cup butter, one cup milk, two and one-half cups flour, a pinch of salt; flavor; beat all we'll to- gether, then add the beaten whites of five eggs.
 Yellow cake-Yolks of five eggs, one-half cup butter, one cup sugar, one cup milk, two and one-half cups flour. a pinch of salt; flavor.
 Corn Fritters-One-ha half can of corn, OllS SeHSEOuS plHI O1 llOuT, one neap- ing teaspoon of baking powder, one half teaspoon of salt, one egg, two cups of sweet milk.
 Nan: I think your idea as to nak- ing house dresses before cleaning a good one. I, too, am making four new house dresses, one gray and white, one black and white, two blue and white. I haven't made caps to match, as I like the net caps best. They are cooler for the summer.

SAVED FROM CHOKING.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: A few oays since I came very near getting choked, and it reminded me of time did, several years since, and the rem edy.
 One morning at breakfast a mouth fu! Of food lodged just back of my paiate. Not wishing to disturb any one, I stepped out of the room. as could neither breathe nor swallow. I went back and, seeing what the trouble was' all ran to do something for me, A gentleman and lady that were wis., iting us said to my husband: Get her upon her knees as quick as you can lmy inclination was to rise up, trying to get my breath). So. they crowded me down, and the instant my knees touched the floor the food went down and my life was saved.
 We considered it providential that one friends were with us at that time, Hettie Maria: Thanks for your nice birthday letter.

HoUsEcLEENiNG HELPS.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: I presume all the Sisters, and maybe the Editor, are beginning their housekeeping, so I am sending in a few suggestions:
 When cleaning the pantry, try doing one shelf at a time and putting the things back before beginning another.
 To clean paint, use warm water with little ammonia and soda.
 Wet cloth in gasoline to take off fingermarks, being careful about using near fire.
 To wash windows, use as hot water as possible. with a little ammonia and kerosene oil; wipe dry and polish with piece of chamois.
 Hot soapsuds and ammonia will brighten silver and brass.
 A little vinegar in the water will brighten brass picture frames. Use a soft brush.
 To clean picture mats, rub with bread crumbs, changing as often as soiled.
 Alcohol will Whiten piano keys
 To cleanse and brighten a carpet, dampen coarse meal and sprinkle over the carpet before sweeping.
 Rub the stoves over with vaseline before putting away and they will not rust.
 A piece of eamphor gum in the silver closet will help to keep the silver from furnishing. I make flannel cases for my knives and forks and cover the large pieces with flannel. It keeps out the moisture and gas from stoves.
 Sprinkle red pepper among your furs and the moths will not bother you. Shake thoroughly in the fall.
 B1ddy: think your date for the an- nual picnic is just right.
 Samantha: Thanks for pretty card.
 Married and Happy: I was glad to find you again. Best wishes to all.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: Indulge me in a little chat.
 Pollyanna: think I felt the same as you did in regard to the waste basket; but I thought nothing ventured, noth- ing have, so I ventured, and I hope to help someone in some way.
 Doctor: I have used the stuffed egg recipe in my family for a long time and I think they are fine for a picnic. S. c. E. and M: I want to thank you for postcards. Hope you had pleas ant Easter.
 Enid: was very much interested in your story and hope to read more of them.
 J. B. IT.: Your letter on economy, think, we all could learn lesson from. Wildwood: I believe you have a birthday this month, and hope you have a shower of good things and lots of postcards. I heard a song sparrow this morn ing for the first time. think they are late in reaching us; but others heard them,' think, in March.

USES FOR OLD STOCKINGS AND
 SHIRTS.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: 1 wonder if the, other sisters know how many ways we may use stockings that are beyond mending.
 Make holders by cutting off the feet; fold the legs over three times. stitch around and across, sew a ring to one corner to hang them by. They are soft and easily washed and do not show soil as light ones do.
 For Dusters-Cut lengthwise through leg and foot. sew two or three to- gether. They make fine clusters. Use the heavy ones for lamps; the polished floor. the stove and for any purpose where a soft cloth is needed.
 saw a skirt made by using the legs of stockings for the top and a ruff1e of silk for the bottom; French seam them together, as many as you need, to fit nicely around the hips like a jersey.
 oversIeeves to slip on can be made stockings; use the. ribbed top next the hand and run an elastic in the top, to hold them up. These are fine, too, to wear under the coat, to protect the wrist when riding in the cold.
 Everyone knows how many can be used in making rugs both braided and woven.
 A nice way to use the bodies of shirts when the sleeves and upper part is worn is to cut off below the arm holes, stitch together and make little aprons just to slip over your large apron while you are standing at the sink. You can keep your aprons fresh and clean much longer, and these are no trouble to. .launder.
 I would like the sisters to try A Dried Beef Chowder some of these cool nights for supper. Make the same as any chowder. with pork, onions and potatoes and half hour Cor less) be- fore serving put in the dried beef in small pieces. Season with salt and pepper and thicken little with four.
 Don't put in too much dried beef and be careful of the salt, as the beef salts it some.
 PRACTICAL POLLY,
