GREETINGS FROM READY.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis
tiers: With the sun shining so brightly
and the birds singing SO sweetly, and
not enough breeze to stir a branch on
the tree and the work all done up, is
enough to stir up the Social Corner
spirit to indulge in Social Corner
chat. These lovely days make one feel
just like housekeeping; but 1 think
there is such a thing as cleaning house
too soon. There is plenty of time now
before the real hot weather sets in.
Annette: Thanks to the woodbox for
kindly greetings and thoughts. May
the woodbox never die out. 1 trust
some Of the Sisters will gather around
your woodbox and have a real Social
Corner time.
Morning Glory: Yes, I am again in
tho Nutmeg State. The man of the
house keeps the woodbox 50 full all
the time think one would have to get
a ladder to sit on it. Not like the orig
inal one.
Pollyanne: Write again. You might
have just the right message for us.
Sometimes the demands are greater
than can meet. The spirit is willing,
but the flesh is weak.
Silver Sixpence: Thanks. I always

Lucy Acorn: I should be delighted
to come and sit on your woodbox, but
do not know Who is Who? Thank
you.
Trottie: trust you got the card all
right. I believe you were the first to
greet me as I entered the hall March
IS.
Peggy Anne: When returned home
Sweet William told me her little girl
had a great deal to say about Wee
Peggy Ann. 1 thought she was very
cute.
Frozen: I trust you are improving.
Frank: I think of you often. All
cards will be answered soon 1 have
quite a few to answer.
Gala Lily: I know to whom you re-
fer. think he is a splendid man. Off
and on, I have made quite a hit with
cards.

did:
I cut pastebard into convenient
sized sheets and on them pasted the
songs, one, or sometimes two or three
on both sides of each sheet. Put them
under a weight until dry so they
wouldn't curl.
When there are several in a fam
lily who like to spend an evening in
singing. it is nice to have a number
OF copies of the old favorite songs
mounted in this way, especially if you
are short of hymn books.
To the Sister who advised US not
to waste anything: What do you
think of this for saving? The last
time we had popcorn it did not pop
well, and there was over a pint of "old
maids" Corn at five cents a pound is
expensive chicken feed, so 1 concluded
to experiment a little. l took this I'M

night in the double boiler, and had it
for the breakfast cereal next morn
ing. 1t tasted like a cross between
corn flakes and grape nuts and really
was quite eatable. One member of
the ldI1lly even SAD II was better
than oatmeal.
NJ. Roena: Am glad you can have
your porch swing, and that you can
| get it early enough to enjoy all sum-
mer. 1t will be pleasant reminder

Sally Muggins: The floor plan of
your bungalow is fine. I like it bet

ECONOMICAL USES OF MEATS
ETC.

Dear Editor and Social Cornerites:
I read the letters sent in each week
and have found many helpful sugges-
lions. May I give a few ways of US
ing '1eft-overs." I find they make
tasty and attractive dishes and help
out quite a little with the present
high prices.
Beef Balls: Mince fine, beef, an
onion and little parsley, add a few
bread crumbs, season with salt and
pepper, add beaten egg. Form into
balls, flour and fry in deep fat.
Take slices of cold roast beef. broil
over hot Goals, season with salt and
pepper and serve with a lump of but
ter on each piece.
Chop or grind cold lamb, chicken or
beef, boil macaroni in the long lengths
with little salt in the water butter
an oval dish, line the bottom and sides
with the macoroni in the center. Put
the meat seasoned with salt, pepper
and onion, If you like. Bake twenty
minutes or half hour.
Make Tomato Sauce by boiling until
soft. Put in little soda to take out
the acid; strain and season with salt,
pepper and a little sugar. Thicker
with a little flour and butter rubbed
together; when, ready to serve turn
dish bottom up on a platter and pour
the sauce over. It is nice sliced cold
also.

cold potatoes into dice. Make a

household furniture many times; al
so. the eatables from the table and
the smiles from the face of the wife,
and the happiness out of the home.
AS a remover of things alcohol has
no equal.
Aunt Abby: hear you are trying
awful hard to find out who I am.
Aren't you Yankee enough to do so
lust stop and think. 1 know you
personally and you know me too; hope
the next time you send a letter to
The Corner you will give me an idea,
if you have found me OUT
Paula: Where are you? Have you
moved? 1 saw you one day on Bos-
well avenue not long ago; or, at least
the party with me said it was you.
You wore a long black coat and black
velvet hat. 1 heard you lived at one
time in Central Village, am I right
Come and see me some time and we
will go to the moving pictures.

GREETINGS FROM KocHIA.

Social Corner Sisters: Don't think I
have left you and forgotten to write,
but so many times have said would
take time and let you all hear from
me again. I will say in regret, that
had to miss the gathering at Will
mantle, where I had planned to at
tend. I am glad everyone had such
fine time.
I do enjoy reading Rural Delivery's
letters so much, and tried to make him
out so many times; but I guess I am
still in the dark.
Poor Whippoorwill of Canterbury:
guess, like me- you are head over heels
in work. 1 find there is no end to it;
but Saturdays I do take time and read
all the good letters if the pot on the
stove does stick.
Eta BARRIERS letters are always of
interest to me. Perhaps she is like
me, little old fashioned, and tries to
make the most she can out of a little
and always willing to lend a helping
hand to everyone who is in need of it.
Josiah's Wife: I suppose you are
busy these days turning the geese
eggs. Waiting for the old goose to
make up her mind to set.
l can remember years ago when Eta
Barber was home on the dear old
farm how she used to turn the eggs
Whippoorwil1 and she were near neigh
bors and always had a large flock of
them.
Wishing you all a joyful spring.

IL you have a friend worth loving,
Love him Yes, and let him know
That you love him. ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow
why should some good words ne'er be
said
OF q fr.end-till he is dead?
IL you hear a song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song.
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long
Why should one that thrills your heart
Lack the Joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves you
BY its humble. pleading tone,
Join 1t. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
why should not your brother share
The strength of two or three" In
prayer?
IL you see the hot tears falling
From a sorrowing brothers eyes,
Share them. And by sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
II \ sffvery laugh is ripping
Through the sunshine on his face.
Share 1t. TITS the wise mans saying
For both grief and joy a place.
There's health and goodness In the
mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
II your work is made more easy
BY q friendly helping hand.
Say SO. Speak out brave and truly.
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Ealter for a work Of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness.
All enriching as you go:
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver,
He will make each seed to grow;
&c. until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack a friend.
