 Dear Social Corner Sisters and Ed itor: Here am again. after two years silence I have not forgotten you or your good letters. I have had sorrow mingled with gladness My husband is of old Connecticut stock, and there Is nothing love to look. at better in my spare moments than the genealogf- cal record of New London county. Sometimes tears come to my eyes when I look back to the time when ] came to Connecticut as: a bride. to make my home in dear old B.; and when my husband and made short trip last Decoration day and saw how things have changed and found those we loved so much sleeping close by the dear old farm.

church. think all my readers will agree with me, that one of the most pleasing features of Sunday school accon plishments is to hear the lit. here Irecali one little song that I specially enjoyed while listening to the tiny tots Perhaps some of The Corner sisters are as familiar with the words as I am. however will give the first verse: Jesus bids us shine with 2 pure clear Like a little candle burning in the In tEis Ei world of darkness we must You. in your little corner and I, in
 mine"
 The. echo of that childish hymn has often been with me. and I have learn
 ed from experience and observation,
 that we all have our little corners | in which to fulfill our mission des-
 tined through the journey of life. No one place has so many corners as the home. and no one more cares or duties to perform. as the wife and | motter of the household.
 The bond of congeniality is a close tic. hence. these letters and sugges- tions from various writers are very
 helpful one to the other.
 | - III HuIL16Il we ma SuCn a E6T- lance. of likes and dislikes, that it Is | not frequent we are in contact with the woman who can do justice to all the corners" that are under her care. For instance, some take first pride
 in preparing the food, and with sue
 cess, for everybody enjoys good square meal, but so much time she
 deyotes. to her cooking and baking, that the sink Is seldom free from dirty dishes, and the. floors and rugs are i scarcely swept once a week. This | type or hoUsekeeper does not equalize
 her time. for the many things she | should do.
 Another housewife, has her hobby in
 contiT ually dusting the furniture
 washing windows, never permitting
 a cobweb to fastoon the back stair
 way, or finger print on the wood work in the kitchen; yet the children
 of that home, go to school day after | day with holes in their stockings and
 minus button on their little coats. But. you say: Whats the remedy for tEssC faults7' Why. simple ! enough let each little corner re- rob each other in the limited space Certainly, we must eat. three times 8 | day. but 1t Is not necessary to make cream puffs-while big basket ot
 clothes Is waiting to be ironed. The woman who is competent tc | hict. is truly a treasure in the home | and there might be many of them, il they would take little thought and
 study and the results for husband and
 children would be most gratifying. | The corners" are not all confined tc the four walls of the dwelling house
 for as we go into social life we fin6 many corners" in character. We will nor dwell on that problem in this | chapter, but let us try to devise some

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
Not Words and Nothing More

Not Words and Nothing More. Long upon the pillows driven, like a vessel tossed and riven, Without rudder, chart or compass, safe to guide it to the shore, Was this soul of one forsaken. by it's own thoughts o'ertaken, Like the voice of bird thus shaken, croaking o'er his chamber door Like this soul. to bird thus pleading, sayings of the Bible lore.
 Must be words, and nothing
 more.
 Had his eyes but left the raven, and by chance have seen engraven "On the palIid bust of Pallas just above his chamber door. There in zephyr worked, token, wrought by her whose loss had broken.
 Even hopes her love had spoken-by his loved and lost Leuore- Words like these, Believe on me and thou shalt live forevermore"-
 Still not words and nothing
 more"
 Had that mind. so bright and gifted. to its God that prayer but lifted. Jesus, is there balm in Gilead? Tell me, tell me, I implore." Had he then stilled the tempest beat ing in his heart by oft repeating Words of love, of faith entreatlng, which the Savior Spake of yore His own sad soul would have been lifted from that shadow on the floor"
 Christ forsaking never more. Would that He had him entreated, with His love infinite greeted, Had dispelled those horrid fancfes which assailed him from the door:
 Then his soul that weight had lifted, from that consciousness so And he would have seen the dawn light gleaming, cleaning on the shore.
 Then that soul. to raven pleading, would have faith in other lore,
 'Twere not words and nothing
 more.
 Tortured soul, 'pon pillows driven, twas not meant that you be riven
 And be making plaintive pleadings answered from above the door; Twas his conscience that was crying, though he felt that hope was dying,
 Hope of ever seeing his enshrined and sweet Lenore, His sad soul should have been exalted from that shadow on the foor.' Christ forsaking never more.
