POP CORN AND sueeAR coNFEc.
 TONS.

Dear Editor and Members of The
 Social Corner: As the cold stormy
 days and long evenings come to us
 It always reminds me of the time
 when we used to sit around the fire s1de and pop corn and make candy with pan of apples on the table Will send some of the recipes which we used to use at that time as well as some of the more modern ones for homemade candy.
 Mothers Way of Popping Corn in a kettle: Melt a large spoonful of butter in a broad bottomed or Scotch kettle. As it sizzles furiously, drop in the corn, and stir as you drop tin
 the butter will hold no more. Stir with

 grains and sift fine granulated sugar
 thtckly as you stir and toss. Each kernel should come out with a thick
 coating of sugar and is delicious.

RURAL DELIVERY SOLVES THE
 PUZZLE

Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends: May add a few more lines to the department this week.
 Little Bo-Peep: I know you will be welcome in the Social Corner. Your first letter was very interesting. You say it was kind of hard to make the first plunge Hope you did not go so deep you did not come up again ready for more letters for The Cor ner. It is very evident you are not a man-hater from your first letter. While I must admit always did like the company of ladies T.. was not charmed with any one at the New London8 fair as I did not attend either day. You said I should reform as I am member of The Corner. To put one in the company of so many nice ladies demands the best of behavior. We will try to do as you advise
 Too Late is not too late to say a good word for us men folks in The Corner. Many thanks. One more Sister who thinks it Is well to have man with them in their jolly gather ings and picnics. This Sister should receive three times three cheers from the male writers of The Corner
 We have noticed there has been quite little said in regard to who the shadow of man on The Social Corner tent at the fair represented When we saw the picture we thought hC SOIHST S1SI6TS ndQ captured and caged strange man who had nc business in The Social Corner circle. On turning the paper over we noticed it was from an advertisement on the other side which from the i'm. pression of the press showed through | on The Social Corner picture.
 Long winter evenings will soon bt | here. Let the writers make The So. | cial Corner ring with good letters. I, will please the Editor who has don, so much for us all.
 Ever the same old Corner friend.

Have a Kind Word for All.

Have a kind word for, those Whose misfortune and woes Have darkened their pathway in life And with words of sweet cheer Make the earth to appear A realm that is free from all strife. Have kind word for all, And let smiles of love fall, Though sorrows and dangers are rife Have a kind word for one Who has battled and won In conflicts that mortals must fight; Have kind smile in store For the poor at your door. Who struggle through sorrows darl
 night; Have a kind word for all Till the reaper's last call Is heard from the biest land of light

4 STILL DAY

love to wander through the woodlands hoary In the soft light of an autumnal
 day, When Summer gathers up her robes Of glory,
 And like a dream of beauty glidea
 away. How through each loved, familiar
 path she fingers, Serenly smiling through the
 golden mist, Shifting the wild grape with her
 dewy fingers
 Till the cool emerald turns to
 amethyst; Kindling the faint stars of the
 hazel, shining To light the gloom of Autumn's
 moldering halls, With hoary plumes the clematis en-
 twlning
 Where OCT the rock her withered
 garland falls. Beside the brook and on the um-
 beTed meadow, Where yellow tern-tutts fleck
 the faded ground, With folded lids beneath their
 palmy shadow The gentian mods, in dewy slum-
 bers bound. Sarah Helen Whitman in c. s. Mon ltOr.

Most interesting of all the objects presented
during this season OF revivsls is the real, prac

frankly disposed in patches, with flaps and
buttons set inside long openings deliberately
edged, or inside looped fold in the side full

the motive for these additions, and still we
hamper our hands with the usual wrist bag.
These adjuncts, to the tyranny OF which we
have long remained slaves. each season accept
ing them larger and still larger, have, by de-
grees so slow as 10 have escaped notice, finally
retrest ted into dainty morsels OF silk and velvet

and mirrored powder box. With new modes
come new gestures to ft them. When last
pockets were in" / seem TO remember them
as placed among the back fulness Of the skirt
and the frantic fumblng with gloved fingers to
produce handkerchief or purse from this
mysteTiously concealed opening before seating
oneself was often matter OF hilarity to the
male observer. Is this gesture TO become
habtual again?
