Dear Socfai Corner Sisters: The following ways of accomplishing things may prove of use to some off the Sisters: < Mix a little whiting with cold wa, ter to form paste. Rub the aluminium we'll with it and polish with a soft, cloth.
 When filling fountain pen, to prevent annoyance from air bubbles, use narrow, tapering pieces of blot ting paper, cut small enough to reach easily within the barrel of the pen. ter points, the bubbles disappear and others do not form. .-
 To renew taffeta that has become wrinkled and lacking in crispness, lay it over an ironing board and go over, ft with alcohol and hang 1t in the air to dry.,E -ssz<..;-.3.s 2
 If the rubber glove gets torn don't throw it away. Put a piece Of adhesive. plaster sticky side out. on the place where the tear is. Adjust 1t on the inside of the glove. It works fine. k. Before using table oiIcIoth paste at each corner on the wrong side squaro Of cotton material. This will prevent the unsIghtly cracking Of the corners which so often comes long before the body of the cloth shows any signs or wear
 To remove wrinkles from . gar ment. hang it in etfie bathroom over the tub. close sthe windows and door and turn on the hot water; let 1t re- main there. for two. or three hours. then hand out in the Fresh air.
 campInor for a-coid is taken in this ; manner: A drop or two rs placed on . lump Of sugar, dropped into small wine 5lass of, water and teaspoon taken every two hours. This is also1 taken for a cold.

WRINKLES lNDEsTRucTI7tE DOLLS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Although 'circHmstances nave pre- prevented me from meeting with oth- CTS at the picnics that have been held this summer, except :he one held at Lake Wangunlbaug I have been much interested in reading tie many helpful letters from week to week. and I hope I may be permitted 10 meet many of the Sisters In the near future.
 To add my mite I will send in some | more wrinkles:
 A Doll for a baby a year or less old must be made 50 shat 1t cannot be ca silly broken and have nothing about 1 1t to hurt its little owner. Therefore china, wax, paint and paper must be avoided. No. s white alarming cotton | in the large balls is an Ideal material | to make a baby doll. Three balls of cotton will make Ewo dolls. Wind of ball and d half upon a ;1inJ board, or book, about eleven inches lcng; slip | string or narrow ribbon under the
 threads 1t the upper end and tie tight as possible: with sharp pair of scissors cutethe lower end neatly across from the book; take ont forty threads and plait them il. twa braids to form the dolls hair;- tie these with baby | ribbon; then tie the remaining bunch ! again one and half inches below the l first tying to form the neck and head i; | | threads and around this small bunch at the junction O. the rest, of the l threads, and tie again three inches below the last tying and cut off the
 ! threads one inch below the last tying. i This forms the hands. Then tie a ltribbon around the waist and trim off any uneven threads at the bottom of l the skirt. lSf
 i It is good plan to tie all these | places with string first and always sew
 all bows firmly with double thread of | black sewing silk Outline eyes and red marking cotton.
 | With such a doll there need be no fear of oaby doing itself any injury. To make one doll requires four yards
 baby ribbon and one and a half balls
 of cotton No. 6.
 ! Another Novelty wish some of the l Sisters would try: Take a small, i sound apple, peel 1t and cut face on it, beginning with the nose and make ! very, small cut for the mouth; put ! 1t where 1t will dry slowly; when | nearly dry. take black. or blue beads l for eyes, sewing with white thread from the back. At this time one cap | mould the features to make different | expressions Then pu: it where it will
 dry thoroughly, New make cap of l narrow lace with hows and ties of baby ribbon and q neck ruff of wider | lace or ribbon: put it on a round pin- cushion or penwfper. or if you are art istic you may mount it on card | with suitable sentence like What is Christmas without grandma ?' For mans face I make a goatee | or side wh1skers of curled hair such | as is used for .upholstering; add A velvet. foolscap or q red flannel night cap: also neck, ruff or a necktie You l may have to experiment with a num- Der, but If once you get the knack of 1t, it Is very fascinating work as they are the most human looking faces I ever saw. and one could scarcely be- lteye they were n.l5e of dried apple. :, Will someone send recipe for mak- Ing oatmeal bread?
