JUST A CHAT.


 Dear Sisters and Brothers:-This | is a good night for a little chat with 1 the Sisters.
 I think it was Billie who asked if | 1t paid to be honest. I don't remem- Der of many of the Sisters replying | to it. They may not have found out yet if it does. I don't suppose from a renumerattve point of view it does. Still it is a comforting thought to think we have restored to a person that which rightfully belonged to him. Neither is it policy to reward honesty. After awhile we are honest, because We are looking for the re- ward we do the works here the re- ward comes afterwards, given by an impartial judge. ITO thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any man."
 Starlight: As yet not many of the Sisters have replied to your inquiry in regard to an incorporate husband. It is rather of a hard proposition to
 bring before anyone as you only stated your side of the story Why
 don't you get him to tell his, then we could judge the case more fairly It seems to me, if I got my hands on the provisions there would be much left to take to the neighbours. I should cook them by an instn taineous pro- cess, that would shock him so he wouldn't be able to leave the house Did you ever hear the story of the
 man and wife who decided to tell each other there faults? The man, the more generous of the two, decided
 to hear his first. I think the wife had vocabulary of words as large as a
 dictionary. After she had finished her harrangue, she said now tell me
 mine. He said my dear, you haven't any, l have them all" The trouble with us all is we are so busy keeping
  when our own faults stare us in the face we don't recognize them-we
 think they all belong to our neigh bors.
 Sunshine No 2: There may have been time when you and Polyanna
 were the same size, but times have changed. Pollyanna has John Henry | put up for the winter, and she is taking long hikes to reduce her flesh. She has no use for those extra but tons.
 If Crimson Rambler should enter
 tain Club No. again she will walk. Jennie: I was very much pleased about your description of the front door, but don't you think if 1t looks neat and attractive around the back
 door it Is a better Introduction to the interior? Usually. if you get in the
 back door and through the kitchen the
 rest is plain sailing. How much | easier housework is if the kitchen is
 only orderly and does not look as if you had just moved in and expected to leave before sundown. Mother Hubbard: What has be- l come of you and Merrya Andrew? .? Have you joined forces and gone to fight the Germans?
 Potlatch: You used to write such interesting letters, but haven't read one for long time.
 l hope you are not a deserted, the Corner needs such writers. Let US hear from you once more. I hope the Sisters will enjoy read ing this letter as much as have writing it. I will close by wishing all of the Brothers and Sisters a Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year.
 Best wishes for the Corner. long | may it live!

GREETINGS TO ALL.

MT. Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:-Just a few words to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. If the Editor could have been at Aunty No. and looked over that company of sixty ladies, he would not have to worry over the Social Corner page. At the rest room in W storms do not stop them.
 As I listened to the entertainment l was reminded of a little incident that happened near here. A gentle man was telling me he had been to hear a woman speaker. He said: "I tell you, she was smart!"
 His wife very quietly said: You have one just as smart at home if you only knew it!"
 I will close with a short verse. This world is not so bad a world
 As some would like to make it; But whether it is good, whether it is
 bad
 Depends on how you take itI

TWO PRETTY CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:-It is showing this morning. Wonder if we will have snow for Christmas?
 Goody Two Shoes: Are your init ials Mrs. B.?
 Here are some directions for cro- cheted bedroom slippers. To make the slippers requires nearly two hanks of colored worSted and one of white for the top or edge.
 Crochet 16 st. for first row. This will allow one st. for turning, crochet ', increase 2 extra st. in Sth st., cro- chet seven st. and 1 oh. Turn row 2 crochet across. In doing this take up the st. from the back to form a rib without increasing. You will then have formed one rib of the vamp of the slipper.
 Continue making ribs increasing 2 st. only in center of every other row or every rib until there are twenty six ribs. This forms the front of the slipper.
 For the sides take up "A st. work four ribs. then increase 1 st. on upper side by making ch. instead of one. Continue widening every rib until there are 34 st., work 14 ribs without increasing. Decrease in like manner until you have 24 st. Work ribs, connect at left side. This is now ready for top. Make an edging through which to run ribbon and then fill each place with shells making it ruffly

Something went wrong with the

that Jane Adams, Thomas Edison

the invitations to sail on the Scandi-

4. Mr.. Ford said last night, when this
part of the invitation was read to him
that it was all wrong.
"I wish you would strike that out
of the invitation said the Detroiter
to the reporters But the mistake had
already been made in 115 invitations
sent by wire. Nothing was said about
correcting these, and there did not
seem to be a feeling that 1t was i'm

take did not appear. But it was only

NEW 1OO-TON FURNACE
Remodel and Enlarge Present
Battery of Open HearthS;
Install Big Crane

The addition of one new 100-ton
open hearth furnace, the remodeling
and enlarging of the present battery
of four open hearths and the erection
of new 15O-ton capacity ladle crane,
is planned by the receivers of the Cen
trail Iron and Steel Company, at the
plant in South Harrisburg.
This new equipment will greatly in
crease the company's output of steel
by the end of next year when the i'm
provements are expected to have been
completed.
Remodeling of the four open
hearths will be started first. Each fur
mace, wnen it is taken off for general
repairs, will be rebuilt so that each
will be Il feet inches by 15 feet and
) feet inches from the sill line to the
plates of the pan. This will increase
each furnace from its present capacity
OF so tons to about 100 tons.
Crane Already Ordered
The new 15O-ton capacity ladle
crane has already been ordered and is
expected to he delivered about the
middle of next month when it will i'm
medately be put in place. The old
l00-ton and Cotton capacity ladies and
equipment will be retained and hearths
of 100 to 13O tons will be tapped into
the two ladies with a divided spout.
In addition to charging the present
battery of four furnaces, 1t is pur-
posed to build n fifth furnace of 100
tons capacity at the south end of the
plant and to extend the pit side of
the present building.
The reconstruction of the present
furnaces will proceed as rapidly as
possible and work on the new furnace
will be started Just as soon as an ap-
preparation is made

Near and the prospects for continued

plates, obtained by superior methods
IN pouring the molten metal.
The eXacting requirements that are
now made upon steel plates, particu-
