Fathers have duty to perform, besides earn ing the bread and butter. It isn't much of q fatheE who does not take enough pride and show enough love for his children to devote some time to their education, amusement and bringing up. There may be some few who are So devoid cf human sentiment as to be obliyious to parental instinct. but we believe they are in the minor ity. But the minority should wake up to the responsibilities which go with home life and not try to throw the burden upon the mother.
 These fathers are to be pitied, too. for they miss much joy that might be theirs by associating with innocent childhood

THE CARE OF THE HANDS.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: Put a little ammonia or borax in the water you wash your hands with, and that water just luke warm will keep the skin clean and soft.
 A little oatmeal mixed with the wa ter will whiten the hands.
 The best preparation for the hands at night is the white of egg, with a grain of alum dissolved in it. Spread it on your hands and the work is done.
 The toughest and hardest hands can be made soft and white in a months time by doctoring them a little at bedtime; and all the tools YOU need are a nail-brush, a bottle of ammonia, a box of powdered borax, and 9 little fine, white sand to rub the stains off; or a cut lemon will do even better.
 Hello. Ready, I have got a. wood box. Come up and sit awhile on it?
 Chore Girl: Come up and I will give you a job and pay wages.
 Annette: When I opened that package wasn't I surprised when saw the mice present. thank you very much Now 1 am more than anxious to know and meet the giver.
 Dottie: You spoke of a slaut-in at your house. My heart goes out to Shut-ins. Am sorry you did not get the card When was a. girl thought Dottie Dimple's books lovely. Why not sign Dottie DimpIe- I often wish ed had signed a pretty, sweet name; but guess mine is more appropriate.

HOUSE DRESSES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-A spring draws near 1 suppose you are all planning, as far as possible, to re- plenish your wardrobe. How many of you have house dresses on your list ? l am afraid we all consider too Tnuch h our appearance outside of the home to the detriment of our appearance dur ing our working hours.
 After we have purchased, OUT spring clothes we generally have little if any thing left for house dresses and con- seQuently we make use of some dis carded dress quite out of place in the kitchen.
 I decided this year to have my house dresses completed first. l find that the crfnl11ed seersucker gives the most satisfactory results as far as wear and laundering are con- cerned, as they wash very easily and do not fade and require no ironing ex- cept where there is trimming used.
 I am having one each of dark blue; brown and gray stripe and having two aprons and a dust cap made of the same material as each dress. Each dress and cap is trimmed with self 'colored chambray. The dresses have square neck and short sleeves trimmed with bands of the chambray and also a piping of same where waist and skirt join. Cap has band of the chambray.
 Aprons are the short three cornered ones which are worn so much now and the edge is finished with scaIloped braid purchased at the Ten Cent Store.
 When the first set was made it looked so nice that I decided to tell you all about them.
 Helena: Did you ever try dried beef with rnacaroni escalloped in the same manner as your .EscalIoped Oysters and Macaroni"? It is delicious.
 Best wishes to all the Sisters

 I lifted the cart. and left her holdin' her hands in cold water at the sink, while I went to the pantry for dishes to set the table for dinner.
