A FEW TIMELY RECIPES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:I am sending in few timely recipes which may supply something new for the table.
 Stuffed Eqgs-Mash the yolks of four hard-bOiled eggs with a teaspoon blespoonful of mayonnaise dressing. Minced veal or chicken mixed with the grated yolks of hard-boiled eggs. sea- soned slightly with salt, the whole moistened with cream. makes another splendid filling. To serve, form the original egg yolk and set them in cir ces made from quarter-fnch slices of the whites of the eggs. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves.
 Stuffed Peaches-Pare and -haive peaches and remove stones. Fill halves with almonds and English walnuts, equal quantities, chopped inc. Fasten together with small toothpicks. Sprin- kle four or five tablespoonfuls sugar over them and place in. saucepan with a little water. Steam ten minu- tes and allow to cool. Chill and serve cold with sugar and cream. If pre- ferred, stuff with marshmallows, rolled in powdered sugar with Drowned all monds stuck in them and serve with jelly or candied ginger.
 Brown Betty-Mix two-cups of sliced apples with nearly a cup of fresh bread crumbs. one-fourth of a cup of brown sugar and level teaspoon of cinnamon Add three level tablespoons melted butter and pour into a buttered bak- ing-dish. Pour one-half cup of water over the whole. Use the remainder oi the cup of bread crumbs and a little melted butter for the top. Bake forty five minutes in moderate oven. Serve hot or cold with hard sauce.

THE FAIR.

Dear Social Corner Writers I was pleased to see the picture of the Social Corner tent with a group of sisters about its front in Tie Corner. aud it contained e suggestion that these gatherings may have taken their name from the fair" in attendance.
 Away back in the fifteenth century 1t was proclaimed "An that faire is. Is by nature good" In these days 1t may be so. but the midway" dis closes that by man 1t has been made vile.
 How do you suppose the sair' came to mean at first a market, then mis- cellaneous display of farm products and bedquilts. when at first mnidens were fair and group of them came to be referred to as the faire:"
 There is something queer about the history of words-how old meanings are lost and new meanings are evolved
 is fair may be beautiful or It may be above mediocrity, or 1t may be a favorable wind. or a market held at a particular time.
 The dictionary tells us that with the" before 1t. it means the female also place where horses and dogs or any old thing is displayed for a price
 It is a historical fact that there was time when "the faire- were marketed like cattle. and a man could take his wife out and publicly sell her for a price as he could his goat or his dog. IL is recorded as late as in the latter part of Queen Victoria's reign one of her subjects took his wife to the mar ket place and sold her for a shilling. We not from this that the fair and the market were not so very long ago most closely allied. We are inclined to think the fair might have taken its name from mans admiration of the sex anl his desire | to honor woman, but the facts in the rag-bag of time do not warrant such I a conclusion
 The fair were marketed. and the fair" became a synony m for a market and 1t is signsG ard sealed and in the dictionary. and man cannot get clear of the odium of 1t. These are the | nettling chunks of wisdom the suf- of creation There is no doubt if "the fair' were to cease to attend the fair | the charm would be gone and the so-
 caliel fair would become a frost. I hope the sisters of the Social Cor | her wsl take an interest in this suo- Ject. If they were not ''the faire" be- | fore the fair was. who were they | The sisters, perhaps, may have won- | dered who that man was in the social Corner tent picture. He may have beer | 6l.

HOW SUFFRAGE BENEFITS THE WOMEN. ..

Editor Social Corner:-When read
 the anti-suffragist's assertions, that the enfranchisement of women, has not benefited the conditions of women and children in the states where they have it. am reminded of the woman who was brought before the judge, one Monday morning, in Baltimore. The judge looked her over, listened to her story and said:
 Are you not the same woman, who was brought before me a year ago, with the same story?"
 Yes, Judge. l am. You see I am not like them women who say one thing today and another tomorrow" she replied.
 Just so with the antis. they con- tinue year after year with the same old story. in spite of the fact that every year sees new laws for the ben | eft of women and children going on the statute books of these states where women vote.
 Oregon has given US recently an ex-
 ample. Before women voted there 26
 per cent. of the girls working in the retail stores received a rate of less than six dollars a week. Now, two years, after, women were given the 1 vote, less than 1 percent are paid i below this rate. This fact can be
 found in the report of Miss Marie L. | 0'Breauer of the Woman's Division of the U. s. Bureau of Labor Statistics after a careful study of the minimum wage law in Oregon. The minimum
 wage law was one of the first laws i won by the enfranchised women oi Oregon. Ask the girls working in the l retail stores. if the votes for women has made life easier for them and not I the woman cf leisure.
 | Illinois affords another illusthatior where the State Board of Administra- ttion in Anugust declared that womer l eTaDlovad in state institutions shall ra. ceive the same pay as men where they do the same work. This decision ef- fects $500 women. President Kern, oi the State Board said: a state institution should not receive
 the same wages as men attendants 1T | the same class of work. It should have been recognized before."
 It Is woman's vote that opens the
 eyes of public officials to the necessity of justice.
 l President Wilson appointed a Fed. eral commission to probe the causes ot social and industrial unrest Anti suffragists must take notice of theil findings. On theSvery first page of tn,
 digest prepared by this commission Imendations is a strong argument urg, ing political rights for women as on, of the means by which women in in
 dustry may obtain living wages" Again under the heading, ''Womel
 and children in Industry, we find thi
 decision: The investigations ant
 bearings of the comission jutify tn, conclusions.'' j 1.

CAUSE WHEAT TO SAG

CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 21.-Favorable
weather and big receipts at north
western terminals more than offset IN
the wheat market today the erect OF
higher prices It Liverpool. Commission
houses especially were free sellers.
The buying was mainly on resting
orders. After opening bak to haA
lower, with December at 1O4A to 1o4as,
and May at los to 1854. the market
here underwent a further sag, but then
made good rally.
Corn Bearishly Affected.
Corn, like wheat, was bearishly at
fected by the fine weather. There was
persistent selling, led by large broker
age houses. Opening prices. which
ranged from a shade to u lower. were
followed by moderate additional losses
before any recovery set in.
Oats. although firm at the START
eased off with other grain. Trade was
small.
Generalization in the hog market
brought about much stop-loss selling OF
provisions. Support from packers final
ly checked the decline.
